  1. Troll or not, it basically provided entertainment, whilst making a welcome change from all those topics of deep philosophical debate, politial intrigue and somnolent introversion so beloved by a certain section of our memberbase.. inasmuch the likes of FCD, although admittedly being OTT was at times a breath of fresh air!
  2. A Londoner ?? dial up - or cable?
  3. The track they play on website is reminiscent of Creedence Clearwater revival.
  4. After several attempts I sussed out who they were, eventually getting ten out of ten!
  5. Hey up Herb! ... how did the excursion go? you ain't come back with any donkey sh@t on yer boots now have ya? only don't want to be paddling it all over that nice Dandycord™ you've just had laid in yer front parlour, Fiona wouldn't be very pleased!..
  6. I know you'd sussed him earlier ayup, but it's your quoting of one of my earlier posts allied to the mentioning of trolls and fcd which seemed you thought I was prime suspect.. but I suppose looking through what I'd said could be interpreted in two ways, I'll have to be more careful in future of what's being written.. maybe a secretary or proof reader will have to be hired..
  7. It only exists in the ether, what you see is not necessarily what you get, best sit back and relax as it's only just a show, a bit like a circus, where there are those who take centre stage, and those who sit somewhere at the back and watch the entertainment.. but a thing I have noticed there are certain spectators that have become all-knowing and outspoken after the event has finished, and are keen to point out they knew the plot from the very start, when in fact they were wrong. And to those who are quoting my prevoius postings trying to infer that by some obscure chance they knew it wa
  8. Yes it was a good run.. I'd started inviting the neighbours round to watch the show whilst selling tubs of popcorn, and cups of tea.. the £5 profit will go towards our summer hols at Clacton.
  9. PLUS .. I once boxed kippers in the Central Market! .. we may have more in common than than what we first thought!
  10. come come Herbert! .. no need for all of this! I was once in the Boys Brigade, but you don't see me go round shouting and hollering like you do... what regiment were you in it btw? was it the R.A.B.s?
  11. Yes.. but how many teeth were on the sprocket that linked the gearbox to the clutch?
  12. I expected this to be a long drawn out and protracted teaser, with clues running on for weeks till eventually being buried under mounds of other trivia, perhaps to be resurrected and solved at a later date by other forum members who know of such things.. and now you've come up with this, basically making a mockery of the whole conundrum scene!.. well, it is the vehicle, but what is it's name?
  13. alright then.. A Nottingham manufactured car circa 1933, what was it's name, and who produced it?
  14. Alright it''s 'Gideons way' .. don't remember seeing the series, but wouldn't mind giving it a look... was it perhaps akin to 'No hiding place' or 'Murder bag'? http://www.angelfire.com/retro/cta/UK/GideonsWay.htm
  15. as long as he knows how to press 'run stop - restore' plus 'poke 157' and 'peek 472' then he should be ok .. problems may arise when he tries to insert a 5.25 inch disk into pci socket, either way they should chop him up and send him back to Nigeria in a box as a warning to others - do not try to infiltrate our beloved uk!
  16. Exactly Caz! .. it was also made worse by the dog cr@p stuck on the edge of my shoe, and my insistance on wearing the balaclava helmet.. I suppose it just wasn't my time!
  17. I reckon Jim's son wants a kick up the @rse for sending you crap like that Herbert.. next time you see him ask him if can send you something more appropriate to your stature, like a rubber bedsheet or a commode!
  18. Ok Herbert.. whatever you say!
  19. The nearest I got to working there was when I went for an interview around the mid 60s at the large house on the corner of Derby road and Lenton Boulevard, needless to say I didn't get the job, probably due to the winkle pickers, spotty face and unhygienic ambience.. I did however later go onto work at the CO-OP bakery department down meadow lane where such things didn't seem to matter.
  20. Yes I agree, it wasn't what he said it was the way he said it.. more of a clown than a comedian. If the truth were known it's probably why Dean Martin made the split - couldn't stand the embarrasment.
  21. Now look here Herbert, if the matron catches you messing on her computer the sh*t's going to hit the fan, my advice is you climb back in bed and be a good lad.. besides, you wouldn't want to miss that nice care assistant with the Thermogene douché and the cupcakes, now would you? ____________________________________________________________________ Ayup.. indeed it is Mr. Lewis, when he appeared on tv last year he looked massively overweight, he's either gone on a diet or not very well.. hope it's the former as used to enjoy his films back in the old 'tanner rush' days at the Globe. alon
  22. Thanks for the advice chaps, all of which you suggest is excellent advice and would normally cure the problem, but suspect it goes deeper, as all has been tried, even to the extent of reformatting the hd and a fresh system install to no avail.. I'm actually wondering how long the lifespan of a motherboard and processor are supposed to last, especially when they've been worked overtime and get overheated.. maybe it's time for a system overhaul.
  23. over several weeks my computer has been getting slower and slower, thus I decided to phone the local PC shop seeking advice of what could be the problem, the advice given was that I probably needed more ram.. but after purchasing said item, it now appears I have another problem, inasmuch the blighter keeps eating the carpet and headbutting the furniture, and to top it all, the computer is still running slow! has anybody any other ideas what might be the problem?
  24. I was scootin' through the internet and I came across this guy. you'll probably know who it is, but in this pic he looks kind of different.. not looking bad for his age..
