Could not agree more. Oh! Actually, what ever happened to the St Mary's gigs?

Go to bed dd, you are over-tired mate. xx ;-)

Blimey, I had forgotten all about MajorGeeks site, used it all the time years ago. I'll let you know how I get on. Cheers.

if i urged yyou are playing with me aren;t you dd, you little minx. I know that you are not so silly as to believe what you are typing. Just in case you are being serious, no offence intended but everyone who bought RATM did so to get it to nuber 1 not because they wanted to own a copy for any other reason. Some of the people who bought Jo McEddery (sp - again!) did so to stop RATM winning the contest not because they wanted to own a copy. Cause and effect/affect i think it is called.

/\ God save the queen (SP's version) is one of my all time fave records.

Oh yes they did dd. By exactly replicating the thinking behind buying that otheer release some people were motivated to buy the Cowell record. It's not even ironic, it was pathetic imho, all good fun for the neutral observer though. People (self included) like the sex pistol phenominum (sp) yet the XF effect would pale into insignificance compared to what a 'rip off' punk is/was, were it not for the fact that SC is better at it and would appear to share it around with a better socila conscience. fwiw, if Simon Cowell ever makes a film about how he royally shafted the british public I will gladly join you in hunting him down.

I do not have a clue what you are talking about. Apologies for my temporary loss of sanity; Simon Cowell is the anti-christ. Send him away for eternity to live in the jungle living on grubs and kangaroo testes. Now there's agood idea for a programme.....Nah, that would make too much money and I'd be hated.

I'd congratulate you. re your last sentence; you do know what (pile of **** imho) got to number 1 last year don't you? Someone made lots of money as a direct result of them going up against Cowell and ironically boosted the Cowell Machine's coffers too. I should stress that never in a month of Sundays would I buy the single but my point is that just cos I don;t like something does not make it rubbish, that would be quite silly of me in all honesty.

Rained off. Scratch that. Reindeered off. LOL Friday night I was even out with my shovel and had a 4 foot pile ready for saturday's challenge, sadly overnight someone stole my snow! I did not report it to the police though as I understand that they don't take this sort of crime seriously enough, instead i have secreted the shovel behind my wheelie bin and if the thief returns I shall take the law into my own hands and bury the body under my water butt. I do actually think that the efforts are good and amusing; clearly done by kids as opposed to last years grown ups taking this far too seriously.

I ran Malwarebytes in safe mode, found loads of stuff but not this one unfortunately. I was wondering if there's a recomended freeware prog that lists everyting that starts up showing actual .exe locations so I can just rename and delete the offender, msconfig is a bit limited I am told. mrs h does not look at porn on this computer.

Prior to these (XF, BGT etc) who do people think made all the money from the commercialised home entertainment business? Just Simon Cowell is out there fronting his own venture should not make him and his shows the target of such jealous anger imho. He must employ thousands of people through his companies, if he was Rich Branson people would be hailing him not hating him. Vive le entrepeneur (sp) I say.

/\ Do you not think that Rebecca Ferguson has a great voice and a certain stage presence in spite of her not really moving about much?

As one of my managers always says to us; it's all well and good coming to me with the problem, tell me what the solution is ffs! What would people moaning about XF like to see replace it? Do we really want a new Huey Green, Mickey Most et al? No, I thought not. fwiw I am willing to bet my favourite hat that Rebecca Ferguson will win it outright and rightly so. Current odds - 4/1 KERCHING NB i have £2.50 riding on her.

laptop is infected with the 'internet security' virus. Found quite a few forums detailing how to remove it but i'm not techie enough to understand how to follow the instructions, most point to doing it in 'safe mode', but frustration has gotten the better of me and knowing how excellent and knowledgeable you lot are I am laying myself at your mercy. Please help as the virus is so malicious that I am at my wits end. Please help? hamster. PS I am prepared to save our important files and re-install Vista but the laptop didn;t come with a disc so any advice on this method would be appreciated too please?

On one of our visits we toook the excursion to Vollendam, weird sort of abandoned lego village of the damned type place, thankfully they have a regular bus service back to Amserdam. Can't remember the exact location but we found the flea market close to the flower market quite interesting.

People moaning about this should be careful, next you'll be moaning about having to pay dole money to all of the out of work policemen and policewomen facing redundancy because it becomes illegal to make snowmen ffs. Would you be spouting the same bile had it been one of her kids who had been pinched whilst playing kerbie outside their house? No, I thought not. I know people who live in Chatham actually and apparently this snowman was only about 12" tall (about the same height as deppo). It would not have been difficult to conceal him therefore she only has herself to blame imo.

take them out of the freezer before trying to light them. hth
