The opposition can't score if they can't get the ball. Yesterday we looked phenominal, Tranmere were pretty poor but honestly we would have blown most NPC teams away with that performance, definately one of the best i have seen us in a very very long time, in fact i really can't remember seeing a saints team play with such verve, slick passing and confidence. I think Adkins is exactly the sort of manager we need, he is an up and coming and more importantly current manager who understands the world of football at the moment, studious and probably quite scientific if needs be aswell. Yesterday could have been a rout, but we have also looked so solid in the last few games Adkins has come in, Seaborne is a new player, Puncheon is playing better, Lambert finding his feet and Barnard has been a beast. We are playing with width, playing to our strengths and hopefully he also understands the importance of a plan B (though yet to be tested). I am thankful to Pard's for the day out last year, but our future has begun now and hopefully we will be seeing some attractive (winning) football on the south coast for some time.

He did well today, had some good touches, strong when needed but for me didn't get in enough space to recieve the ball. Tranmere were very very poor though

Great game Great performance Gully had the midas touch today

My 52 play 2.0 petrol Zetec was always an unexpected joy to drive, like having a rocket under an armchair in the fact that it was the comfiest drive i have ever had and also had the shifting power when needed. Hopefully the new one is the same, i will be looking at the company car scheme next year, let me know what its like as this was one of my favourites.

You must be feeling sick, losing your cup final to two dubious goals ?? Lol, it'll be ok, i expect you will be able to drum up 5-6k of fans at your place that either couldn't get tickets in the away end or aren't having thier hair permed. You have made a decent start to the season, let the big boys take over now though mate i am sure we will wave at you on the way past. I do hope you stay up though, i have always quite liked plucky old Bournemouth.

What could usefully be done with climate change sceptics
Smirking_Saint replied to Verbal's topic in The Lounge
Hmm yeah, electric cars, in one hand removing the carbon emmissions of the petrol in the other taketh away by pretty much doubling the amount of energy needed to be provided by the grid, energy that will need to be created somewhere. Although i am all for non-petrol cars i am much more of the opinion that the Hydrogen cell is the prefered long term option. But yes, you are right, it IS much better to head towards a greener path then we are taking now, however i don't think we need quite the amount of stealth taxes that have actually been imposed on us, unless you look at it and think, without the taxes would anyone actually make any changes ?? I am a denier, i don't think the science is out there to prove either way, does this mean i am not trying to use energy more efficiently ? No, i am, i just do not agree with the premise of global warming. A much more alarming situation will be around 2015ish and onwards, when we will be relying very heavily on energy created elsewere for our needs, this is because the government is mothballing many of the older plants (along with some coing to end of life) not creating new plants soon enough and the peak energy usage of the country beginning to grow and grow, even now as an industry we do not see the summer dips in peak usage as we always did because of the invent of A/C and heat pumps etc will only make it worse. -

As a nation we don't use a lot of Oil, which is generally a pretty sh*te generating medium as oil fired power plants take a long time to run up and are not very efficient. We still use a lot of coal and gas, and if truth be known still have massive coal deposits, they are just high in sulphur, but if push came to shove we could use it. Nuclear is the way forward but should have started a long long time ago. IMO you are looking at 20-30 years before we have a decent nuclear infrastructure. Wind is another decent method but essentially creates 'dirty' power that needs to be properly rectified before entering the grid or else will cause a high percentage of losses along the power lines. It is also pretty inefficient way to create energy as it only works under a small range of wind speeds. Wind has its place, but is not the answer. -

This. I also am a bit sceptical about the whole fossil fuels running out, i mainly base this on the fact that unless the governments were not essentially forcing the major generating companies to develop green fuels then they wouldn't be doing much about it at all, i mean, surely if they KNEW that there main fuels and so main form of income was running out would they not be busting a gut to develop new ideas ? -

Indeed, and for some reason needed to carry out a full physical, which was weird.

2 years ago, and they are still taking on people now. Plenty of jobs left like it, depending on the industry and what your priorities are. I had to take an 8k paycut originally, not that it started on crappy money but i was already in a decent position. Sometimes you need to realise you have to go backwards to go forwards. (same as Saints ) Many many employers are going down the apprenticeship, trainee positions line because it allows them not only to get who they want, but save money by going straight to the Uni's and saying 'i will put 20 people through a year if you can give me an offer for education' and also to ensure that the graduates that are employed also have on job skills and not just pub golf.

It might be, XP had a wonderful knack of completely f*cking itself up after a while i seem to recall. Just ensure that everything you want to be backed up is backed up first and pretty much only do it if you really know what you are doing. The recovery snapshot is something that certain programmes will perform, Windows has one but i can't remember the XP one, there is a Norton one and a few others. What it will do is take a snapshot of the drive either at time based or at the touch of a button intervals and will create an image that can be re-cloned onto the drive if ever needed.

God i can't remember back to my IT days. I don't think folders show up sizes when you view them within the 'c' drive, however if you do not have massive programmes, nor do you have data on it then essentially i think you may have an issue. UNLESS of course you have some sort of data recovery programme taking a snapshot of the data drive and storing the image on the 'c' drive, i know some crude programmes do this by pretty much taking a flat copy of one drive to another. If this is the same system that is taking 20 hours to rip from a DVD then you may be in a spot of bother. How long have you had the system ?? Used it without ever reinstalling ?? When this is all done and you have any electricity supply issues i'll do my best to help with that aswell

What OS are you using ?

Yes they did, but they were a pair of the most technically gifted of players of their time. A similar player these days would be the likes of Ronaldinho, incredible technically and so able to get away with the odd drink or so extra. What with the main bulk of players these days you need to be very much at the peak physically and this is often a big factor in decided what league you play in. Pace, stamina and strength are massive massive attributes that are considered as pretty much a necessity in the game these days, this is why IMO players need to stay in peak shape physically between the years of 18-35. It is hardly a long time is it ?? Especially when earning upwards of 10k a week FFS.

Your remove/add programmes will not take into account any actual data on the drive, by this i mean pictures, videos, documents, music etc etc etc. Could you be harbouring large amounts of this on the hard drive ??
