[guidofatherof5]

Thomas, time to lean out that PM box.

[kibakiba]

The sims 3 pets has garter snakes in it! :D They're a minor pet, but it's still cool... I squealed and now I can't wait to get it... Haha.

[katach]

I want it too!!!!!!!

[kibakiba]

And pooooonies! I might freak my boyfriend out by naming my horses on there after the ponies in MLP: friendship is magic ;) A couple more months and I might be able to afford it... Haha.

[katach]

They make it for xbox360 too!!!

[kibakiba]

I don't do consoles right now, and my last console was an xbox which gave me many a problem even after replacing different stuff in it. I was happy to kick that dang thing out of the door! :D Only downside to not having it now, is one of my favourite games is only on xbox, and has problems running on a 360 (oor so I have been told)

[katach]

We love our 360. The update stake forever to download, but it's worth it! We are big on video games.

[kibakiba]

I'm a big pc gamer... A few newer games are on my list right now... Unfortunately, my gaming will have to wait until my snakes are back to their pampered status, and my mental problems dealt with. Hah.

[katach]

I like the Fable series. It lots of fun!!

[katach]

Enjoying some of my famous home made chocolate chip cookies and a big glass of milk right now!! Thanks for the inspiration!

[kibakiba]

Soooo... A little white bug= cookies? Awesome. :D

[katach]

Yeah however it works out I ok with it! :D

[kibakiba]

Even if your cookies have little white bugs in them?




:D

[katach]

well I don't think I have to worry about that, there are no wood products in my cookies. :D

[kibakiba]

But there are other bugs attracted to stuff that's in cookies ;)

[katach]

Let's not think about that! All I know is that anyone who has ever had one of my cookies always asks for more! I have neighbors who beat my door down for them, like cookie eating zombies!!

[kibakiba]

I would probably end up being like that. A perfectly cooked warm cookie is the way to my heart! Haha.

[katach]

I promise I will bring you some. I'm going to PM you.

[chris-uk]

Talk of games reminds me, I'm waiting for the postman to knock on the door to deliver the latest, greatest instalment of Zelda for my Wii. All the reviews I've read so far have the game rated at, or close to, 100%. That's at least another 35 hours of free time I need to find over the next few weeks.

Kimberley - glad you like the recipe. One variation that works well is to use chopped hazelnuts instead of whole hazels, seems to result in a better texture.

[kibakiba]

You don't have to ;) Doing so would just raise you up on the buddy list! Haha!

[kimbosaur]

I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet, but hopefully tonight or tomorrow. :)

[kibakiba]

What the heck. I turned my pc on to find that everything was erased. Whyyyyyyyy...? Urg. I hate windows 7 right now. And yes, I blame win7 because I can, and because I didn't get any sleep. Angry face.

[Char361979]

Yep, that's right folks. All the presents are bought and wrapped, some have even been given out (there are some folks I won't see before christmas so it had to be done, the rest of it I just wanted out the way). All cards are writen. Arrangements have been confirmed for Christmas day. All I need to do is put the decorations up and I'm done. I've even started (in conjunction with my best friend who is equally as organised... or complusive depending on your point of view) planning the new years eve get together and freezing the food that I can freeze for it.

People laugh at me but I see it this way, when everyone else is going nuts fighting the crowds, paying inflated christmas prices and queing for the majority of their adult lives, I will have my feet up with a book and a cup of coffee... who's the weirdo now ha????:D

When do you guys start the festive madness prep?

[guidofatherof5]

I'm with you Char. Get it all done early.
In years past I would have all the gifts bought before Thanksgiving.
Things are a little different now that I'm retired.

[PINJOHN]

Yes no doubt about it .....COMPULSIVE

Almost as good as Windows ME.

[kibakiba]

No idea what PEBKAC is, sorry. I doubt PMS is making me hallucinate all my stuff gone, though.
I don't mind having windows 7, it's fine... But if I have to reinstall 30 gigs of games again, and get my 100 gigs of music back... It's going in the trash.

[ConcinusMan]

I can't remember the last time I haven't gone Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve!

[Char361979]

I can't remember the last time I haven't gone Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve!

I couldn't do that! That would stress me out! We'd be talking cold sweats!! Too many people too much rushing about waaaayyyy too much stress.

[kibakiba]

Dunno how it's a problem with me, I just turned my pc on like I always do. Sorry. I'm not a uuuuuber pc person, you know. But, the fact that I did nothing different from any other day, and all of my stuff got erased is about as annoying as it gets.

[Char361979]

I don't think you did do anything wrong I had the same thing happen to me. Ocassionally you get malware piggybacking on legitamate websites. There you'll be having a look at something that is perfectly fine (in my case it was images of garters) and unbeknownst to you something is lurking in the background that does weird stuff to your PC what you restart or turn it off. There is some great malware software out there. Chris managed to restore everything on my PC when it all went to hell in a handbasket. PM him with details he may be able to help.

Didn't mean to offend, was only kidding. I'm really not that hot on the old 'puter myself.

[kibakiba]

Dunno. Unless the forum has it I doubt that ;) I only really visit the forum not that I have my games installed. I've got everything back, now. I just went ahead and reinstalled it. It's working fine atm, obviously. But... If I do have to end up reinstalling something... I'm kicking this computer out the door! Haha. I'd rather have xp, because I've never had a problem like that with it.

[Char361979]

These things can piggyback on anything, maybe one of your games? I didn't know what was going on with mine either and thought the machine itself was just being rubbish. kept telling me it was over heated as well but it wasn't. Also kept shutting itself down. Weird....

[kibakiba]

That was how my old one was, it was just old parts that were dying in my case, though.

[Char361979]

Mine was about 6 months old and is the one I am using this second. There was nothing wrong with it at all other that this horrid virus/malware thing which Chris fixed. He's an IT consultant. Computers are his thing. I'd have been stuffed without his help.

[chris-uk]

Window 7 is actually a better architecture than XP, it's got more security designed in. It sounds like you picked up something nasty, Char's problem came from an advert on a Yahoo! Forum, legit site and legit advertising, but someone managed to slip a drive-by exploit into an ad. You didn't have to click on it. And then it took me around 8 hours to restore everything back to its pre-virus state. Lucky it was a new machine and a reinstall was easy.
If you aren't already running some AV I would install some asap - MS Security Essentials works well with Win7, other than that the free version of AVG has always been reliable for me.
I'd also advise ditching Internet Explorer as your default browser and using Chrome or Firefox instead (you may already have done this).

[chris-uk]

The telling you it was overheating was just the virus' way of getting the machine restarted to complete the malware installation. The ******* virus you got was particularly nasty and installed loads of other crap as well. And prevented me installing removal tools. :-(

[Char361979]

This is why you do the computer stuff. I'm a ludite.

[guidofatherof5]

This is why you do the computer stuff. I'm a ludite.

Had to look that one up. :D Luddite-1. One who fears technology (or new technology, as they seem pleased with how things currently are...why can't everything just be the same?)

[kibakiba]

I hate AVG free. It's a POS imo.
I use firefox only, I hate chrome and IE. I do have ESET, but my boyfriend thinks I should ditch that for the MS Security. I might try that instead.

[Char361979]

Had to look that one up. :D Luddite-1. One who fears technology (or new technology, as they seem pleased with how things currently are...why can't everything just be the same?)
Based on the Luddite movement of the 18th and 19th century. Luddites in the UK objected to farming and manufacturing improvements that led to labours and the working classes losing employment and ending up impoverished. This led to the rise in numbers of workhouses. I knew that A' Level in Social istory would come in handy one day!

[kibakiba]

I don't like change, mostly because all the changes in my life were bad, or had bad effects... Probably not a good thing, that it has effected my technological behaviour... Hah.

[Char361979]

I know the feeling. Probably why I love history and literature.

[kibakiba]

I don't ;) But, the only history schools here will teach is American history, which is force fed to you from age 8 to18. After one year of history, you literally know it all... They use the same textbooks every year. At least here they did, and on the online schooling I did, it was the exact same.

[Char361979]

We learn our own history obviously, but we lean world history as well. My favourites are the October revolution in Russia, the french revolution, Vietnam, The industrial revolution and tudor Britain. Wanted to be a history teacher for a while but decided primary school teaching was more me.

[kibakiba]

I think this is where Americans tend to fail, I am interested in other country's history... It's the lack of teaching that causes the problems, though ;)
I wanted to learn about Irish history, and German history the most... I'm hoping that when I go back to high school, they'll at least offer one history class that isn't strictly American.

[Char361979]

Shame you don't get more European history over there. It's kind of your history as well.

[kibakiba]

Indeed. I had one teacher, I believe I was in 8th grade... She was certain that Americans were better than everyone else... It made for interesting lessons.. To say the least.

[Char361979]

I don't think any nationality is better than any other, just different. To be honest, most contries have been invaded and migrated into by so many others the boundries of nationality begin to fade. I think all we can be sure of is that we are citizens of the world and we should respect each other and rejoice in our differences. Without these differences the world would not be the wonderous place it is, and I'm not sure I would want to be on it.

had a similar experience in my school back in the fifty's, for me and every other boy in the class, history was the most boring subject under the sun.
what those teacher's tried to do was get us to memorize which king or queen followed each other and the relevant dates that went with each monarch, mind numbingly tedious tudur's Plantagenet's etc etc, all they had to do was tell my all boys class about the battles, the war's, the intrigues, and we would have been in seventh heaven, it would have been so easy for them as regards subject matter, no other country's history comes close, not even the Romans, this tiny island has spent its entire history either resisting invasion [not always successfully ] or attempting to invade some where else [with similar results] had the dumbos who passed themselves off as teacher's taken this route no doubt my self and my class mates would today be all history professor's. :D
please don't think that i am in any way putting the British historic war like tendency as good, just that it would certainly have got the attention of any group of boys and held it,......... sorry girls i don't have a clue just how they should have sold history to you

[chris-uk]

Ironically, in my GCSE Humanities (combined history and geography, with the GCSE being the school exam that kids here sit at 16, and which I hasten to add have got a lot easier since I was at school, afterall... in my year group there were 2 pupils who got straight A-grades across 10 subjects, nowdays they've introduced an A* because too many get A grades and need something more to distinguish at the top, and it isn't unusual to have dozens of kids in a school getting straight A*... you're not telling me kids today are birghter or the teaching is better, I know some kids and I know some teachers ;) but I digress).

So, ironically, in my GCSE Humanities I spent 4 weeks doing a project on the Vietnam War. Not really part of our British history, but interesting all the same, and it was a subject I chose. I'd already read about our civil war, both World Wars, Wars of the Roses, defeating the Spanish Armada, Romans, Vikings... Lots of wars, mostly stuff I read because I liked reading about it.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not disinterested in tech. I'm a bit of a gamer. When things go wrong I get a bit panicky and cry like a girl whilst screaming "fix it honey, fix it, the magic box is all funnified!!" to Chris. Then things work again as if by magic.

[infernalis]

Having such diverse ethinicity in my blood, I find a lot of history very interesting/important.

My ancestory includes Native American, Scottish, Estonian, British and German bloodlines.

During WW2 my grandfather (dad's side) met my Grandmother (Estonian) while liberating a Nazi camp, My great uncle & Aunt (Grandma's sister, Mom's side) were stationed at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked.

At the same time, My grandfather on mom's side was hard at work casting steel at Ingersol Rand for the war effort, he may not have been on the front lines, but those steel castings were.

He was also involved in the early days of the Wankel angine, again at Ingersol Rand.

I cannot watch any WW2 documentarries without feeling emotional over it.

This particular teacher didn't like native americans. She never said it right off the bat, but I'm part Aleut. When I said that, she treated me horribly, along with another girl who was part cherokee. I don't know if she still works at that school, but I hope she was fired. It's not like someone can help it if they're a different race, colour, etc.

[ConcinusMan]

Also known in the British IT industry as "a fleshware issue"

Hahaha, good one.

[ConcinusMan]

other than that the free version of AVG has always been reliable for me.

AVG, paid or free version is rubbish. About 80 percent of the clients that were bringing in infected computers to the PC shop where I worked, were running AVG free and it was up to date. Still wouldn't detect the viruses they had. The worst case I saw had about 180 infected files and several dozen different viruses. AVG is crap. McAfee is next worse right behind AVG.

Chantel, I can send you ESET again if you want me too. You run that, and never disable it for any reason, and keep it up to date and I can guarantee you'll never get a virus, period.

[kibakiba]

I need the version for 64 bit. ;)

[infernalis]

NEVER had a virus attack with this, not ever. been using it since 1998. The cost isn't cheap, but I cannot argue success.

[ConcinusMan]

I need the version for 64 bit. ;)

Oh God, you didn't. Absolutely no reason for you to go with 64 bit OS. But OK, I'll get the 64 bit version to you soon. PM me your address again.

And yes, Panda is a good one. False positive rate is higher than ESET but that's still better than missing viruses completely.

[kibakiba]

It was all they had available. I wanted 32 bit because I don't see the point in 64 bit, but that's what they gave me. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have gotten the 64 bit one.

[ConcinusMan]

Maybe its because there's more than 4 GB of memory installed? Anything over 4 GB requires 64 bit. 32 bit can only use up to 4.

[kibakiba]

8 GB of memory is what I have right now, I don't really need over 4 though ;)

[chris-uk]

If you have Win7-64 you can never have too much RAM. And it's cheap as chips at the moment.

[kibakiba]

Indeed. I just mean, for what I do, I really don't need any more than 4 gigs of it. I'm happy with what I have, though... Not complaining about it.

[ConcinusMan]

If you have Win7-64 you can never have too much RAM. And it's cheap as chips at the moment.

I just find that even with memory hogging programs open, multiple apps/browser tabs open, etc, that I still rarely have more than 2-3 gigs of ram in use at any given time. The main thing I don't like about 64 bit is that there are a lot of apps I use that will never be updated to work under 64 bit since development of those apps has stopped and there's nothing new to replace them.

[infernalis]

I am in the same boat Richard, I have a bunch of software that is XP only, so I deal with what I have.

[ConcinusMan]

Well, I haven't had that problem. Most any software I run, even if it was for XP, still runs under Windows 7. 7 is still the same line and same code base (NT/2000/XP). The only problem I seemed to have was with hardware drivers. Some of them that work under XP won't work with 7. Others run just fine using the XP driver. Wait, are you running vista or 7? Vista's a nightmare!

[infernalis]

I run XP pro SP3 on 2 machines, win 7 on the two real laptops.

My son has win7 "starter edition" on his little netbook.

I had a Dell once with Vista on it, I formatted it and loaded XP

Did anyone already see this and post somewhere about it? Just stumbled across it. One of the arguments for doing it is "Garter snakes serve as one of the few non-mammalian (and only reptilian) model species for studies of behavior development. Examining aggressive displays and feeding preferences, researchers have shown consistent individual personalities"

Well heck, as garter fans, we've known that all along. We don't need no stinking research to tell us that, now do we?:p

[infernalis]

I think a lot of people forget that the Thamnophis Sirtalis family tree has a few branches on it.

[kibakiba]

I know there are, I just didn't read the article... Hah. I must have thought I read that it was about sirtalis sirtalis, not just sirtalis in general. I can't read big blocks of text like that. I envy people that can... I have a hard time reading just one paragraph in a book ;)

Ed,
Time to clear out some PM's.

[snakehill]

I have a brand new Dell that has been sitting in my closet for almost 2 years now! But this one has all my stuff on it! Besides the new one is one of the small ones and I'm not too sure I like it! I would sell it but it was a Christmas present and I'd never hear the end of that! lol :p

[katach]

Call the Geek Squad at Best Buy and they will come switch everything over to your new computer for you.

[kibakiba]

Or, you can pay less money and buy an external hard drive, back up all that you need and have it in case of computer crashes. Honestly, the geek squad people know nothing. Those ***hats made me spend almost $1000 in hard drive replacements (that is 70-150 per hard drive) and then they say " oh, sorry it just so happens we made a mistake and it was your recovery disks that were bad.... give us $75 and we'll fix it all! No... we wont refund you for our stupid mistakes!"

[chris-uk]

$1000 in replacement HDDs? How many mistakes did they make? Alternatively, just take your old drive out of the old PC and plug it into a spare cable on the new machine. Then you have everything without having to buy an external drive.

[kibakiba]

Too many. That was also the cost of them putting it in and their "fixing" stuff. I hate best buy, and I hate geek squad. The only reason I got my new pc from them is because my dad wont go anywhere else.

[infernalis]

Glad I do this myself.. what a ripoff.

I only charge 100 bucks for a house call up to an hour. Hard drives are all of 50 bucks.

[kibakiba]

I have my boyfriend and his step dad to help me. While they can't be here in person, they can technically help identify what the problem might be based off how stupid my computer is being. My boyfriend tends to be quite a bit knowledgeable about that sort of thing.

[katach]

Bill does all the computer stuff I can't do myself.

[guidofatherof5]

Julio,
You need to empty out some of your PM's. Please.

[EasternGirl]

I'm lucky because I live on University of DE campus and there is a guy that used to fix computers for the university that fixes my computer for me and finds me computers for really cheap...I just got a new computer very cheap thanks to him!

[RedSidedSPR]

Call the Geek Squad at Best Buy and they will come switch everything over to your new computer for you.

Ha.

[EasternGirl]

Sorry to change the subject but...it is so dang hot in Delaware right now...you could have worn shorts today. It's ridiculous! I have the air conditioner on! Christmas music is on the radio! I want it to be cold! There...I'm done venting....back to whatever you guys want to talk about...

[katach]

There are lots of people on right now! I love it!! :)

[katach]

Looks like a broken getting warm device. :D

[EasternGirl]

Ahhh...okay..that would explain why he likes it warm right now! :p

[EasternGirl]

I'm giddy! My new little boy is coming in a few hours!!!

[chris-uk]

I sense another "look what I got (with pictures) thread" later today. :-)

[EasternGirl]

Here's hoping! I just hope he gets here safe and sound...I'm like an expectant mother at this point...I haven't slept a wink:rolleyes:.

[infernalis]

Looks like a broken getting warm device. :D

Yes, my furnace is blowing more nasty smoke than a freight train climbing a slope with a full load. smells like a busy truck stop, and rumbles like a rocket that can't take off.

Even with the new injector nozzle and recalibrated air inlet, she's still having problems.

[EasternGirl]

That's not good...

[katach]

That is terrible! I just bundle up in tons of blankets :) We have electric baseboard heaters and they right under the single pane windows. Kind of pointless to have heaters when the heat goes right out the window literally.

[EasternGirl]

It gets a lot colder where you guys are...your winters get a lot harsher than ours do. I am lucky that it does not get too bad here on the east coast and that my house always stays pretty warm. Plus, my bedroom sits over the boiler...so my bedroom is the warmest room in the house.

[katach]

It's not too bad here. Our winters are usually mostly rain. As long as I have lived here (almost 30yrs) there have only been 4 bad winters where I live. And WA bad is like a normal winter for say NY.

[EasternGirl]

Where are you in WA? Are you near Seattle? I mean does it rain there all the time? I could never live there because I have depression problems and I think I would get really bad with the weather...I hate rain and cloudy skies and stuff. I am going to be too tired to deal with the new snake! And my ex-husband thinks he is coming over to take me to do car insurance stuff for him tomorrow...he is wrong...lol.

[katach]

Yeah I live about 2hrs north of Seattle. I doesn't rain as much as everyone thinks it does, but it rains more in the winter than it snows. Snow here is more mixed with rain. When it does stick it usually doesn't last more than a couple of days. I love it here though. It's so pretty!

[PINJOHN]

Chris if you consider this fun when bored then we have ourselves a serious problem here,.... how about calling up the lads for a few pints and a curry.... or perhaps walking down to the local convent taking off all your clothes and doing a streak,.... you might think about going into a Liverpool bar and shouting i hate scousers any one having with a problem with that step out side .......or and this i think remains your best option a really good psychiatrist :eek:

[guidofatherof5]

John,
It is always an education with you.
"pint and curry"
"scousers"

I knew what a pint was but the curry through me.
I had no idea what a scouser was.
I am now a smarter more worldly man. Thank you.

If you aren't picky about the curry house you use, that curry really can go through you. :-)

Oh wow. How clever.

Yeah, you're right. Doesn't rain as much as people think. It rains much more than most people think it does.:rolleyes: Besides that, it's not so much the amount of annual rainfall that is so disturbing. It's the number of days per year with measurable rain that makes it so miserable. Sometimes nearly 300 days a year. Whether it's snow or rain in the winter is sometimes just a matter of elevation. Could be raining where you are but if you climb 1000 feet, it's snow. On the Olympic Peninsula, annual rainfall is measured in feet. Some years up to 12 feet a year. It's the wettest place in North America. The Portland/Vancouver metro area gets around 26-32 inches a year usually. That's still a lot of rain. I don't miss it one bit. Where I am now gets around 6-8 inches a year. I can live with that. Over 300 sunny days per year. Today, sunny 72 F.:)

[kibakiba]

I wish it would rain more where I am. Well.... After my roof gets fixed... It's collapsing and leaking again... Hah.
The soil here is bone dry all the time... It's usually sunny around here, but sometimes clouds can stay for a few days.

[EasternGirl]

Well it's raining here now and I wish it wasn't....hate rain...absolutely hate it...especially when I really need to go out to the pet store. Hey John and Chris and Char...you know I lived in Surrey years ago.

[chris-uk]

It's been persisting down here most of the day.
Marnie, I lived in Guildford for a couple of years until 2002. It's a nice part of the country, a long way from John's stomping ground in Scouserville though. How long were you living over here?

[ConcinusMan]

Sunny and 79 F is my local forecast for tomorrow. Almost 80 right now. Just doesn't get any better than that!:D

[infernalis]

Rub it in man, rub it in.... (grrr or Brrr)

[EasternGirl]

Only three months...I lived in Camberley...in Frimley Park...if you have any idea where that is. I would love to go back someday.

[ConcinusMan]

I do now. Camberley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camberley)

[ConcinusMan]

Shannon just told me about this on facebook. Search google for "do a barrel roll"

[chris-uk]

Only three months...I lived in Camberley...in Frimley Park...if you have any idea where that is. I would love to go back someday.

I had a friend in Wokingham, so used to drive through Camberley, every so often. Get out of the South East if you come back.

[EasternGirl]

I remember Wokingham...funny I still remember my exact address in Surrey...right down to the zip...23 Tekels Way, Camberley, Surrey, GU151HX...I liked Surrey...we used to be able to drive into London in 20 minutes. It was a pretty town...people were a little uptight though...I preferred London and the Northerners...met some people from Wales who were very cool. I got so addicted to Eastenders and Neighbors that I used to watch Eastenders on BBC for years when I got back here...now they don't show it on BBC where I am and I found out that you can't get it on DVD....major major disappointment! I really wanted to get it on DVD and watch all of the seasons from the beginning. But apparently the writers didn't release it on DVD or something.

[ConcinusMan]

Is it just me or is this humorous? (in a delightfully tragic way)

That looks like something Leno has on his Monday's headlines.

[ConcinusMan]

oh yeah. It does.

[EasternGirl]

Yeah...that's pretty funny actually...lol'd a little on that one I have to admit.

[ConcinusMan]

Dangerously over optimistic I think.

[infernalis]

All this talk of the UK has me sitting here in drifting down memory lane......

In 1991 I was lucky to be on one of the first few flights into Stansted when the new Terminal opened. The building is nothing short of magnificent.

Just now I read about the public sector strike, Not good for people with passports trying to get cleared to leave the airport.

Anyways, We boarded a bus for Victoria station, transfered to another for the journey up to Liverpool. Our original flight was to land in Manchester, But I forgot to bring the passports!! so we had to make do, A nice travel agent in Toronto got us on a tourist charter to London for $75 a seat, so it was the only option.

In retrospect, I am glad it happened that way, otherwise I never would have been inside the awesome (Architecturally) Stansted terminal at all.

[Stefan-A]

Impending hard drive failure. brb.

[infernalis]

Good luck Stefan.

Got you covered.

[Stefan-A]

Well, apparently it didn't break quite yet. Maybe later. The tiny blacksmith inside my hard drive seems to have gone away for now. Apparently he only works mornings when everything is nice and cool.

[infernalis]

I'm sure you already know this.. when the banging starts, backup everything important.

What make is the drive?

[Stefan-A]

I'm sure you already know this.. when the banging starts, backup everything important.

What make is the drive?
Already did a week ago when I heard the first gentle knocks. Two copies, in fact.

It's a Samsung. 36 month warranty, lasted 45.

On a stupid note, I paid way too much for its future replacement. I could have gotten a 2 TB external drive for the same price as this 320 GB.

[infernalis]

The market on those things is strange. Last year Wal Mart had a "black Friday" special on 500gb external drives for $40 each, I picked up two. Both are filled already, Mostly TV shows and movies.

"tiny blacksmith" cool

[Stefan-A]

Actually, I take that back. The price of this particular model in several other stores seems to be pretty much exactly what I paid half an hour ago. They said the price of hard drives had tripled and blamed it on the floods in Thailand. Which seems plausible.

Still, I wonder if I couldn't have gotten a good enough 2 TB drive by buying an external drive and cannibalizing it. It certainly worked once before, a few years ago.

[infernalis]

Too bad you did not live over here....

Newegg.com - Internal Hard Drives (http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=14&name=Internal-Hard-Drives&Order=PRICE)

this one looks like a great deal. you still using that bohemouth tower?

http://www.rockyroost.info/mess/drive.gif

[Stefan-A]

This was the only drive left in the store. The exact model is Samsung Spinpoint F4 HD322GJ.

Marnie what made you choose the southern end of England to live in? you really should have come up north where the men are men and the women are grateful, should your wish be fulfilled i expect you to visit England's premiere city LIVERPOOL where you will be treated to a Beatles tour and the presidential suite at the Radison hotel oops i just checked and they tell me its booked that week sorry, but you still get the Beatles tour.
as for eastenders what a dour depressing dollop of debilitating dogsbol$£ks, not a happy storyline in it's twenty odd year history.

update have just checked the Liverpool branch of the red light motel [special rates for working girls and pushers] and they have vacancies, told them i would check back with you before booking ,let me know

[guidofatherof5]

John,
I am so glad you are on this forum. Entertaining as always.
Thanks George.

[PINJOHN]

i came home from work today to find a brand new top of the range motor car outside my front door, i ask the wife where it came from and she told me she had bought it for me, somewhat confused i asked her how she could possibly afford such a very expensive present and she said "well you know every time we make love you give me £10, well i invested it and used the profit to buy you the car", i said my god babe if only i had known i would have given you all my business:cool:

[Stefan-A]

Hah.

[PINJOHN]

Hah.

coming from you Stefan that's a pretty emotional outburst i hope you didn't fall off your chair :D

Can any of my friends in the UK get me a VHS or DVD of some of the seasons of Eastenders if I send some money for shipping? Do any of you have any of the episodes on VHS or DVD...since you can't buy it?

[chris-uk]

I'm sure we could (I've not watched Eastenders for 20 years), the question is why you'd want them when you've escaped from that drivel for so long. VHS would be a problem, not had one of those plugged in for 7 years. Could burn a DVD if I could get the episodes on a PC. An alternative would be to setup some sort of proxy so you could watch them on the BBC's iPlayer (it only streams to IP addresses in the UK). And Eastenders doesn't have seasons, it's a soap opera so it's on 2-3 times a week, every week, with extra episodes for Christmas Day etc.

[EasternGirl]

I love the Eastenders...It's the little bit of the U.K. I get to have here...I watched it when I lived there and then they showed it here on channel 12 for a couple of years..so I watched it for years and then all of the sudden I couldn't watch it anymore. I tried to download a couple of programs to my computer so that I could watch it through the BBC but it didn't work...I don't know if that is the same as what you are talking about with the iPlayer...but if you could walk me through how to do something like that...I'm pretty computer stupid...otherwise..if you could burn a DVD with some episodes...I would be eternally grateful...my mom used to watch it with me and she would get a kick out of seeing a few episodes too!

Put the Christmas tree up tonight and I swear Cee Cee and Selena are staring at it...they have been staring at the lights since we put it up!

[PINJOHN]

John...you are so hysterical...I don't think I can get that special rate...as I have been retired as a working girl for many years now...just can't work it as well as I used to...lol......



yes marnie i had heard about your previous life as a working girl, they tell me you were not very good, they said you kept forgetting to ask for the money :eek:

[PINJOHN]

I think Stefan's reply was the best punch line to the joke.

So true Wayne so true ......but i am still so proud of my self eliciting such an emotional response from the frozen Finn :D

Sorry Marnie i almost forgot your request if you can't get together with Chris and his technology, then i have an old VHS recorder and lots of tapes so one way or another we will get you some episodes of this vile show, they would have to be the stuff that's broadcast now because as Chris said they don,t make this like a series that you can buy later, i will speak to Chris to find out the best way to serve your eastenders FIX............bloody junky:p

[EasternGirl]

yes marnie i had heard about your previous life as a working girl, they tell me you were not very good, they said you kept forgetting to ask for the money :eek: I think in America we call that a "ho"...lmao...

What is it with you bloaks and Eastenders??? When I was there everyone sat down promptly at 7:30pm...2 nights a week I believe it was...and watched the show with a nice cupper, some biscuits, and a fag...now Eastenders is rubbish...fags will kill you and biscuits will make you turn into a cow...it's all bollocks I tell you!!!

my eldest son is a huge fan of this series and could i am sure quote verbatim whole episodes
while baldric's stupidity is hilarious i think the clever part is rowan Atkinson's ability to continually use sarcasm and manage to keep it funny
people who in real life use sarcasm to any great degree soon lose any friend they might have, and too much of it on tv doesn't come across any better, but rowan managers to pull it off with little effort

Ah ha, an American with taste in British TV.


Do you watch House? Or does the loss of the British accent kill it for you...lol.
And an American who, despite the Eastenders fixation, does have a redeeming feature. Char and I watch House every week. I'm disappointed that Cuddy isn't in it now, there was a great dynamic between her and House, Foreman just doesn't cut it. I think Hugh does a great job passing as an American actor, a great contrast to his Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster days.

We watch House, Brill show. Dark humour and eccentricity.


Ah ha, an American with taste in British TV. .



You have no idea Chris, My faves are Mitchell & Webb look, Peep Show, Inbetweeners, Two pints and a packet of crisps, Father Ted, French and Saunders, Ab Fab, The New Statesman, How Not to live your life, Law and Order UK, Blackadder, Fry and Laurie, Enfield and Chums, etc, etc.......

My son and I are totally cracking up right now! As soon as I saw the pic of Wayne above I said to my son, "you know who he looks like? House!" ..LOL


haha so true... you look exactly like him though you may be a few inches taller


Good god, Wayne, do you ever get jealous of the success that your twin, HUGH LAURIE, has enjoyed?? You're a dead ringer for the guy!

I mean, I remember you mentioning that you looked like him, but in that first picture, it's just blatant.

[ConcinusMan]

Do you watch House?

I've never missed an episode since it started. I watch it on Hulu. Awesome show.

[kimbosaur]

I used to love House until I discovered CSI and Criminal Minds. Now those shows are all I ever watch. :cool:

[tress29]

I only turn on the TV for one show, Bones! The rest of the time I'm at one of my two jobs, online, reading, or taking care of the pets! When my boys are home, it's on the XBOX channel!

Made my day mate. thanks so much! really.

[ConcinusMan]

Also in my Hulu subscriptions ^^^along with "Fringe".;) Still, one show I like better than all of these mentioned. Gotta love "Breaking Bad":D

Danger? "I am the danger!"

[EasternGirl]

I have all of House, Bones, CSI and Criminal Minds on Boxset...all my fav shows! So...we all have more in common than garters...hmmm??? I haven't seen Breaking Bad yet but everyone keeps recommending it to me...just finished House Season 7 on boxset and now I'm watching CSI Season 10 on boxset...

What pic of Wayne? I wanna see a pic of Wayne that looks like House!

[guidofatherof5]

I've been glued to "The Walking Dead". Awesome show.

[ConcinusMan]

Hmmm... interesting. I mean, personalities that love garters often sharing the same taste in shows. Also, I know a person I do like a lot but we clash/argue/ piss each other off, so often, it's ridiculous. He also likes "The Walking Dead" while I think it's stupid. Hmm....

You wouldn't happen to also watch "survivor" would you Steve? Thats another show I think is absolutely ridiculous and unwatchable. I'd rather watch a snail eat fungi.

[kibakiba]

I think watching a snail eat anything is fun... except for poop... Snails are funny.

[ConcinusMan]

I haven't seen Breaking Bad yet but everyone keeps recommending it to me...

I never watched it until season 2 was already over. So, what I did was, I went to phazeddl com and downloaded all the seasons. The series was slow at first and I almost quit watching it. But by Season 1, episode 4 I was hooked. And it just keeps getting better too. It's one of those rare shows where you love the bad guys (the meth cooks) and you're rooting for them, but at the same time, you don't hate the good guys (the law). It's quite an intense drama.

I think watching a snail eat anything is fun... except for poop... Snails are funny.

For some reason, that made me laugh. But seriously, watching a snail poop even, has to be more fun than watching survivor.

I wouldn't know. I give snails privacy when they're pooping... I put a leaf over them! :D

Watching paint dry is more interesting than survivor...

You did it again. Stoppit. My face hurts.:D

[kibakiba]

But... But snails are humans too... You don't let people watch you poop. That would just be crazy.

Some of the greatest technelogical advances in history were made by snails...:rolleyes:

What pic of Wayne? I wanna see a pic of Wayne that looks like House!

For the first time ever in the 4 years I have been around, I just uploaded a profile picture.. feel free to look, But I'll warn you may turn to stone upon viewing it.

If you look at my photo gallery here, There is a picture of Dorothy and I together, that is the picture the folks at ssnakess are talking about.

[EasternGirl]

Holy Schmoly!!! You do look like Hugh Laurie!!! And I don't like Survivor...but I don't really want to watch a snail poop either...

[ConcinusMan]

Yikes. I think I'm going to need therapy now.:p

[kibakiba]

You've always needed therapy, Richard. :p

Yeah, I think the wild hair is throwing me off, I don't see it. Sorry. :)

No need to apoligize, I never started the whole thing. ;)

I have always had hair that looks like spent my childhood sticking forks into electrical outlets.

[ConcinusMan]

Or more like you spent the last five minutes sticking forks... LoL. But I hear you. I found out at a very young age how well graphite (pencil lead) conducts electricity. Quite well, actually. A couple of pencil leads and a damp piece of toilet paper makes a good cigarette lighter in jail/prison. Or so I hear;)

[infernalis]

I talked a kid into sprawling paper clip out and bending it into U shape, then he actually stuck it in the outlet during math class. Tripped the breaker and knocked him on his keester. Everyone else thought it was funny.

[kibakiba]

You evil, evil man! :D

It is funny. Viral video material.:) Too bad there was no tiny portable video cameras back then. Or internet for that matter.

A picture is worth a thousand words. That's one lean machine there. Screaming fast 1mhz processor and 64 whole kilobytes of ram. Those were the days. Apps? what apps? Had to write your own. Only takes a year to write a program so you can play tic-tac-toe. LoL.

[infernalis]

Richard, I added two more pics, look up^^^^^

[ConcinusMan]

Yeah, I see that.
