Yesterday I disconnected my battery, so had to code my stereo, ah I thought when I bought the car the previous owner had got a new car pass from the VX stealers, put the code in & safe came up, did the code again safe came up again, it turned out the car pass code was wrongI guess the radio has been replaced at some point then...but luckily I found another number written by someone in the stereo manual & it worked, so even the car pass can be wrong. It dont matter too much as I'd rather shove my willy in a bacon slicer than let those VX muppets near my car

If you try Digiguide use that link and I get a few extra weeks for freeOr get a MCE, have the same guide for free for life. Then you have a useful PVR under the tele
I have used it for 4 years and I haven't bought a listings magazine in all that time.
I just have all the Freeview channels - then I also have the 7 day EPG

I have a TomTom on my Symbian mobile phone (Nokia E65) and it worked like a dream when I done an 800 mile road trip in California in the summer. So a dedicated unit should be even better.If I'm using the bike for work I have the full Autocom stuff on, so can have my tunes and tomtom (all from pda), and the phone, and the bike-bike transceiver should I fancy a chat....
I don't use it much in the UK as I'm not often travelling to unknown places, and I have a built-in navi in my Omega. I have occasionally used it on my motorbike though, simply by putting the phone in my jacket pocket and wearing an audio headset so I can listen to the guidance. It's a little more difficult this way but still perfectly usable, and a lot easier than trying to read a map or directions on a bike

Dont forget Brookside.................actually, forget BrooksideSorry, I am far from a soap fan. Used to have to sit through crossroads when I was little, and corrie/emmerdale farm when I visited the grandparents.
But unless someone is shot, kidnapped, sleeping around etc, the producers aren't happy. Or they feel they have to deal with 'real issues', so have to have gays/lesbians coming out, AIDS, religious controversy, abuse etc etc dragging out story lines for months.

There not trash, corrie have been going before you was born jaime, so how can you call them trash, they are all good programsI have never really seen the point of soaps, so never much liked them.
That aside, the old (UK) soaps - Emmerdale Farm, Coronation Street, Crossroads etc were popular and represented real life to an extent.
Then, mid 80s, along came knobenders, and like the popularist press, everything has to be sensationalist. Emerdale Farm became Emmerdale, and had to kill off 90% of the cast, Crossroads had to be pulled (only to be brought back with loads of pretty blonde birds shagging anything that moved, including each other), even corrie gone the same way. Its all just utter trash now, just like the 80s crap Yankie soaps like Dallas, The Colbys, Falcon Crest etc etc.
How anyone can sit through that mindless, depressing drivel is beyond me.
Personally, I would much rather watch something you need to think about, such as older murder mysteries (newer tend to be too dumbed down), or a good documentary, esp a controversial one.
And what really pisses me off, the 'New' dumbed down BBC, with their diminishing budget, would rather spend it on crap like knobenders rather than a proper factual programme that they
