It would be very amusing and original if it happened. I hope someone does this.

What would Shane want his head for? Is it an Irish thing?

That's so obviously a photoshop fake. On FM he wears Medium.

Arry's been wheelin' 'n dealin' again innit.

I know they're cheap but I am not 100% yet that it is the HDD, I'll check it later on another machine. thanks

Thanks folks. I'm going to test the hard drive in another laptop and hopefully if it's compatible, should tell me if the drive is functioning. I understand that with such a cheap laptop, cheapest components are often used and it'll develop another fault sooner or later if I get it fixed. It's still mightily tempting to try to get it running again for $75 - it'd cost me three or four times that to replace the whole thing.

My son's cheap lappy died the other day, only about a year old. It cost me $170 new. I won't find another similar one for anything near that price at the moment. Indications are that the hard drive is about to give up. It's not making the dreaded clicking sound yet and sounds fine. The OS will not load up. BIOS readouts say the HD is critical and it can not boot windows. Silly me didn't burn recovery disks when it was working. My question is, how likely is it that it's just the HD dying and not anything else like a motherboard? I want to do it on the cheap and dont mind forking out $40 for new drive and $35 to HP for a set of sodding windows recovery disks. But I'm not spending any money for some geek to look at it for $75 before anything has been done to it. Shall I go ahead, buy the stuff and try the install? What would you do?

Need to tune into some American NBC broadcasts - they love us, especially Robbie Earle and the yummy Rebecca Lowe.

Packers catastrophically cocked up on Sunday in game they should have to put to bed after half time. Quite devastating to watch my distraught Packers fan son witness it. Hopefully his second team, Saints, will do something nice in May!

This foolish man played them a little too far. (Interesting to see how vindictive these ****s can be) http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-04/11/malwarebytes

Yes, it was only a ten year ban that started in 1994. It also suffered from many loopholes allowing the manufacturers a way around making their wares legal. Come 2004, there wasn't enough support to renew it. Clever.

We only used to get the odd one now and again but I've had the call too many times recently for my liking, always late into the evening. Blocking the bogus caller IDs is a quick fix only until new numbers are generated and 'called from'. Does anyone else suffer calls from these motherfunners?

Thanks for highlighting the Rik Mayall doc, been looking out for one ever since he died. I see it's on iplayer still.

Very well produced programme, big emphasis on the youth setup with a lot of exposure of the under 18s and the nurturing at Staplewood. I've not watched any of their 'Download' programming before as I expected them to be fairly generic run of the mill shows about top four sides. Pleasantly surprised at how in depth about 'little 'ol us' it was. Certainly done ourselves no harm and I dare say we've gained some lost fans still wondering who to follow and a lot of soccer mums. Hope this gets to YouTube or something. It's still sitting on my dvr but I'm afraid I don't have the knowhow or the distribution skills of Javi Le Tiss to help.

i visited the museum a couple of days before our first game back in the Prem against Man City. Fun place.

I know a captain who sometimes flies that route. I'll see if it's him and report back with any geeky technical stuff.

Thanks!

Jesus Christ...........

Exactly. Now that we're a bit ****, it's easy to say that now. We do need strengthening in January, but that shouldn't mean bringing Gaston back from his loan.

Yes

Space docking and Boston steamers still good. Facesitting and whipping no-no.

Glad these 'three' are over now. **** results, but look forward to the next string of games to resume normal service against non top six opposition.

My home town. Your stop is Weybridge? Is the Hand and Spear by the station still there? Probably a twoty wine bar now. We learned to drink in there in the early 90s with special sixth form college IDs.
