Block 5

I am forming the Vuvuzela Orchestra of Great Britain (Southampton Provisional Wing). We will be touring ST Mary's on matchdays next season.

You're worth your weight in gold.

£36!!!

She had such an beautiful voice. I've just got hold of 'Come to My Garden' which features the totally gorgeous 'Les Fleur' (which was covered by 4Hero). Before her successful solo career she was in an experimental psychedelic soul band called 'Rotary Connection'. The band was the brainchild of Marshall Chess (who's father Leonard founded Chess Records) and they released their self-titled debut album in 1967. Their albums are pretty rare and expensive (I've seen the debut album on CD go for £100!!) but there is a a pretty good 'best of' compilation called 'Black Gold' that is as cheap as chips and well worth picking up. (Just don't tell Manji). It's here on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Gold-Very-Rotary-Connection/dp/B000E6ETDO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1276592974&sr=1-1

Happy to help.

Another Jackson's Farm thread? Surely Michael's family will have the final say?

You should be able to get street view now; I can. Try long pressing on a street in normal map view. A little box should appear. Then touch the box and some options should appear, including street view.

I don't think Beebplayer is supported any more. Shame. Good app.

I'm using the Hero but I guess everything on that will work on the much sexier Desire. Handcent SMS - much better SMS app. AutoResponder - sends a (customisable) SMS if you can't answer the phone if you're at footie, the cinema etc. Call Filter - Will answer and immediately hang up any calls from with held / unknown numbers. AndWobble - Take pics and then make them wobble (my kids love this). Google Sky Map - Point your phone at a star and this app will identify it (or search and it will locate for you). Movies (Flixter) - Tells you what's on at your nearest cinema, with trailers etc. Google Listen - Subscribe to and download podcasts. Phonalyzr - Keep track of everything to do with phone usage. SMS Backup - Does what it says on the tin (backed up via email to your googlemail account). Astro - Good file manager. Layar - Augmented reality (very clever). All available from the Android Market on your phone. HTH.

Thought about mini Opera or maybe Skyfire. Any good? PS. Have your posts suddenly jumped up to over 10k mate?

Yup!

All sorted now Andy. I've managed to log in. Hopefully I shan't need to again (it should remember my details). Are you with T-Mobile? Latest date is June 18th for T-Mobile's 2.1 upgrade - we shall see. It is possible to upgrade yourself to Android 2.1 (search on YouTube), but I think I shall wait.

Bizarrely, the problem seems to have rectified itself. I haven't altered any settings, but have kept trying to log in all morning; all of a sudden it's fine. Case closed. PS. Andy, totally unrelated, but have you upgraded to Android 2.1 yet?

Since the upgrade to the forum yesterday I have been unable to log in using the default browser on my HTC Hero. I enter my username and password and hit GO, but I end up with a white screen. Any ideas? Stevo..... help!

Minnnie Riperton - 'Adventures in Paradise'. Minnie Riperton - 'Perfect Angel.'

I think there were even TWO Underground records in St Mary's Street. The shop's logo was (predictably) the same as the London Underground. I guess we are talking mid 80s?

I can't log in with the default browser on my HTC Hero. I enter my user name and password and hit 'GO', then I end up with a white screen and nothing else. Any ideas? Problem solved. Case closed.

Who's the tightwad who only bid £20?

This forum has never reached consensus on anything and it never will (which is a good thing). I don't think a representative is a good idea. But if Dan Kerins or Gordon Simpson phoned Steve Grant up and asked to use a particular poll result from this forum in the Echo then why not.......?

You could be quids in. Concoct some BS stories about him and sell to the papers.

Weasel's was great when it was in St Mary's Street. Does anyone remember Underground records when they were there?

Post of the day........nay.....week! I am sick of the lack of solidarity between some sections of our fanbase and others. Surely we should be sticking up for those who may struggle to watch Saints this season rather than sniping, mocking and proffering unwanted financial advice?

Installment plans for season tickets?

I was at SMS today and didn't notice tons of soil lying around. However I did notice that there were some workmen trying to sort a problem of loads of water p1ssing off the top of the roof. It looked like they were replacing some kind of insulation / lagging material. I hope SMS gets a much needed spruce up over the Summer; it was looking tired and shabby in places today.

What a desperate thread!
