I get interested in gardening once a year when planning things to grow over summer, then lose all interest. Unfortunately we're surrounded by people with immaculate gardens, so I get nagged by the other half to at least keep ours clear of weeds.

Friday - Revision Saturday - Revision Sunday - Revision Today - Exam Officially 0/10 Though I have got the rest of the week off, so every cloud and all that

I'm really sorry to hear about that, he looks like he was a lovely cat. Believe it or not those two are sisters from the same litter and both are lucky to still be alive. They suffer from a genetic defect which means they can't digest certain proteins both were at death's door until the vet clocked the problem. Of course it does now mean extra expensive 'sensitive' food only for them :mad:

Not too bad with a bit of cheddar, though as it took her 6 weeks to lay the 9 eggs and she prolapsed twice, I kinda gave up after the first few.

I used to microwave bacon occasionally until we ditched our microwave. I wouldn't have put it above fried or grilled personally, though not bad for a quickie.

Whisky: Malt: Cleo (left) and Molly (right) Georgina (thought it was George until she started laying eggs )

In fairness, the cheese and bacon combination does have a lot going for it. Personally I have no preference to grilling or frying each have their positives, but I do prefer unsmoked unless I can get hold of really good quality smoked bacon either option should have rind on. Fresh cut white bread, butter and brown sauce complete the perfect breakfast snack.

I'd probably lose my beard.

I might go and download this one today. I've got to ween myself off COD4 somehow EDIT: Just downloaded it, and it looks like pretty good (even on a non-HDTV).

People who switch on their rear fog lights just because there is a bit of mist around in the mornings. Dairy Milk for giving the impression that Phil Collins is in some way cool.

In a McD's car park on the A5. Got interrupted by some spotty employee telling us that the gate would be locked soon, which kind of ruined the moment In a caravan, not realising that even static ones move around a bit, then having to face all the knowing looks the following day. Although not teh secks, I have cracked one off at work before (not my current job for any IT people monitoring this!!!)

People who send you emails at work, and then before you've had a chance to even open them, phone you up to explain what's in the email. Why the f*ck would you do that? People who wait until you're about to go on three weeks leave before telling you about the really urgent report they need. Northern Rock. ****s!

Rent this place for a couple of weeks: http://www.palms.com/suites_villas_2.php and blow the rest in the casino.

I'd be more interested in meeting the girl she's been kissing, apparently she's happy to be used for a bit of fun!

You really should find something to get yourself out of the house. That kind of thing will rot your brain! It's a slippery slope that will lead to you enjoying films like titanic, and BBC period dramas.

That's quite a contradiction in one post

A colleague at another University has pointed me at something that may do the trick. Thanks anyway, Barfy

I was always under the impression that MS project (and similar packages) wasn't particularly strong on the financial side of things, so hadn't looked into them as much. I'll see if I can blag a copy for a few days to see what it can do. I'll also download demos of the packages above. It's very difficult to describe what I actually need without boring everyone to tears. I guess the ideal package would have a lot of the functionality of Project with aspects of a Sage-type package with a robust database attached. Is that just wishful thinking?

I started to watch that, but the thought of all those STIs put me off my jacket spud, so I watched top gear instead. So was there some decent footage after all?

Given the wealth of knowledge on this board, I was wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right direction here. I currently manage a large research project portfolio which is getting more and more complicated by the day it seems! At the moment I've got nothing more than a bewildering array of spreadsheets to keep things in order, but it's becoming apparent that this just isn't cutting the mustard anymore (as well as there not being enough time to manually update everything!). I've spent a fair bit of time looking on the web to see if there are any off-the-shelf packages that might be able to help, but have reached a dead end here and I guess I'm moving into the realms of bespoke software. Basically what I'm looking for is a way of tracking actual and forecast expenditure against project budgets, being able to generate reports for individual projects, research groups and overall management reports. Has anyone got any pointers for a package that might exist, or where I could start looking or asking questions? Cheers, Barfy

Well spread the rumour then, see if we can get some mass panic going!

Scott Mills too?

Was it something to do with someone helping a muslim bloke in a shopping centre and being warned to avoid the place on Sept. 11th? Just like in that bloody email that gets sent around every few days.

Because it's better than the commercial stations, and you don't want to admit you're old enough to listen to radio 2?
