You mean the guy who always ended with his trousers round his ankles? I thought that was their previous manager...

I'd go with that. I was a bit surprised that Butterfield was subbed by Richardson yesterday, was he injured? Or does NA think Richardson/Forte is a better combo?

Network attached storage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-attached_storage Red Alert - Your Sony Blu-Ray will play certain types of file from a DLNA source, but they seem a bit patchy with MKV files. You'll need to do your research before committing to a particular file type for storage of movies. I tried several different applications for ripping DVDs into various different formats, before finally opting for 'MakeMKV' for ease, speed and quality. Plays back perfectly through the WDTV.

This is the updated version of the one that I have - very good piece of kit. Don't be too put off by the jargon, the basic setup is quite straightforward and there's a good support from their forum. The key thing is to take it one step at a time and get comfortable with that before adding more whistles and bells. As a couple of the others have said, Q-Nap systems are also very good. A couple of years ago when I started looking they were faster than the Synology ones, but also quite a bit more expensive and I was on a budget. Whichever way you decide to go, getting a NAS and connecting it to a wireless N router will the best way forward and you'll wonder why you didn't do it earlier. I hardly use my old desktop PC these days. I decided that I wanted to put all my DVDs (400+), photos and music on it and stream it around the house. I've got 4 x 1.5TB drives in RAID5 configuration, giving me about 4.5TB space. So far I've used 2.5TB with all my DVDs on there in uncompressed MKV format. I play these back to the TV through a wired connection to a Western Digital WDTV Live HD media player. Rock solid playbacks that appear to be upscaled. Of course I can also play them over the wireless network to any laptop and never had any glitches so far. HTH. Nerdy bit over now... I'm off to the match.

I've been using a Synology Diskstation for about a year and a half. Rock solid, fast, DLNA, UPnP, attached print server, mailstation, Itunes server, mediastation, photostation, will run IP cams - does pretty much anything. Can do bit torrents I believe, but I don't use that facility. Comes without disks, so you can size for your needs. Not the cheapest but faster and more reliable than the likes of Netgear. And well supported. Got mine from Broadbandbuyer. Comes in all sizes 1/2/4/5 drives for RAID.

It won't happen. Just the money-men playing brinkmanship.

Realised this was total fantasy after the very first sentence mentioned rebuilding "...within realistic boundaries."

Glad you liked it. Read them in order - they get better...

Who's he play for and is he any good?

Good win. Nice to hear Aaron Martin was solid when he came on.

Richardson on for Oxo

N'Guessan coming on for Barnard

Phew!

You've already told Alpine, haven't you?

Get in!! Deano

Mooney off

For something a bit smaller and friendlier for the missus, how about a Honda Jazz. Cracking little car, good driving position, very reliable, LOADS of space, although somewhat underpowered. Oh, and good residuals.

A proper David Bowie cameo, as himself in Zoolander.
