Welcome to OOF
What I've been doing for about 2 years, easy.QuoteHas anybody done there road tax via the Internet :questionYep dead easy
Cannonball runYes, harmless fun, but badly, badly dated now...
Smokey and the bandit
Not everyone's cup of tea but I think they're a couple of classics
The Italian job.....the proper one not the crap american thing....Couldn't agree more - one of my favourite films
Where else can you get phrases like.....
'Are those quartz Iodine'
'your only supposed to blow the bloody doors off'
'A man, broke into my toliet last night'
'I like em big'
'Now then lads, Ive got a great idea....'
etc, etc, etc....
If you want to use S3 standby, stay away from USB based tuners - including the Hauppauge Nova T 500 PCI dual tuner like I use (these PCI cards actually have a PCI-USB bridge, and the 2 tuners are actually USB devices).QuoteQuoteOr just use your old naff 2.4 P4 as an MCE (about £50 for OEM copy of XP MCE), stick in a 500Gb HDD and some freeview tuners. And it has the advantage it can play most sources, slideshow pictures etc, all without messing about.QuoteQuoteI've said it a few times now - Media Center Edition is the way to goIt does sound tempting what with the little I know about it. However, that would involve buying a computer with the appropriate hardware.
I'm not buying Sky and paying an extra 10 quid/month for the ability to record stuff. That's 120 a year when a VCR is 30 quid.
Stuff paying to record stuff - paid £350 for the PVR when it first came out £80 for a 100GB drive last year, 55 hours of recording time.
PVRs start just over £100 now
Any recomendations TB??

What I object to is that we talk about druggies being "clean" and "rehabilitated" when in fact we have just started feeding them with a legal drug, maintaining their addiction at tax payer's expense. Doesn't make them any use to society. Lock 'em up in a cell with nothing but food and water for a bit of cold turkey and contemplation I say. You reap what you sow after all.Costs us money to lock 'em up. As does shooting, though its much cheaper.

I wouldn't want her to be dead... or hurt, she's obviously got serious issues, and needs professional help. I'm not the sort that would knock a girl about, whether she robbed me or not, if I saw her again I would do nothing. But I do hope she gets the help she needs. (From the relevent services, not innocent public).The world has enough scumbags like her. And why should my taxes have to go up to pay for her rehab time and time again. A shotgun cartridge is 12.5p - problem solved.
