my laptop is windows vista home premium but my desktop is windows xp service pack 2 or 3??

So my dongle provides a secure connection then?

If i copy my email options off the desktop and add them to my laptop , should that do it email wise?

I will in future possibly be after getting a wireless router for my cable connection as it will be faster than my dongle at home, although to be fair the dongle seems to work well with reasonable speed, certainly quicker than our wireless work pc.

Barnsleymitch….are you off the rest of the week though?

Gibby….nice to see the regs of 12 hrs between shifts is working lol, been doing the same myself recently.

I'm only baby sitting contractors but its still a pain in the bum turning in on wkends.

My fave three, in no particular order are………

Penelope Cruz

Selma Hayek

Kylie Minogue

Would put pics up but dont know how :-(

Blimey, didnt think 6 day weeks still existed.

I use Schwalbe Nobby Nic 2.25 all year round for everything, more than happy with them, although price can be dubious but they wear well.

I have had one wkend off in 6 weeks , off tomorrow though then off for 2 weeks at end of week woohoo!!

I love the idea of wood burners , especially as i have access to tonnes of dead wood at work.

My query is i don't have a chimney, i am end of terrace and my lounge has a long wall that is the end of the house , we have a gap of a metre or so between us and the next house. Is it possible to have a burner then?

CliveA, i agree, however the rush hour is mainly people travelling to work through our village because they can't be arsed going on the bypass around us as there is usually a traffic jam as it ends in a large roundabout which grinds to a halt as it is a bottleneck, this has a knock on effect on the road through our village and causes jams all the way back to us , utter madness.

I wish they would restrict traffic speed to 20mph along the outside of the school as they have done in the "urban" school 5 miles away. I'd love my kids and more kids to bike, walk or as an alternative scoot (those push along things). To be fair though our school has invested in a nice big attractive bike shelter. Also recently they launched an incentive to walk to school via a token given if walking and those with the most tokens were rewarded if my memory serves me.

Can't stand the window licker

"Never, never, never, never buy a Renault, biggest pile of cr*p ever. Had a Clio and a Scenic at the same time, both cost us a fortune to keep on the road, sheared drive shafts, airbags going off by themselves, springs constantly breaking, all sorts of things failing that should have outlasted the life of the car and and don't forget the Clio bonnets openning at 70 mph. And Renault customer service, total joke."

No probs with ours?? Horses for courses though.

Gotta love the Scenic, very versatile.

For the record fuel is denser when its cold.

Renault Scenic

Set fire to him then piss on him to give him hope then torch him good and proper……nice.

Many folk do actually HAVE to drive their kids to school as its straight off to work for them after dropping off, probably even more necessary as its a rural school. My wife drops our 2 off then goes straight to work 8 miles away then picks them up on the way back.

Not all car users are pampered parents that can't be arsed walking, though i agree some are. Biking to school has its own problems in that its usually rush hour so loads of traffic, the paths are packed with parents/kids as well not ideal for young kids only 5-9 yrs old really is it?

Set fire to him….then piss on him

Jam Bo……you need to sell it wink wink

I would give my right arm to move up to Scotland (not city though, although i was born in Glasgow), lived in England since a year or so old, as has most of my relatives now.

Going on hols next year to Tulloch Farm just down the road from Roybridge, fantastic part of the world, i may even sneak my bike onto the car without her knowing and have a cheeky run at Nevis Range or over at Laggan….shooosh.

The only thing stopping me uproot my family is work, if i could find something similar to what i do , i would be there like a shot.

I tell ALL canvassers and door step callers to go forth and multiply.

If i want something i will sort it out myself.

I even have a sticker in the window right next to the front door saying we do not buy at the oor but it doesn't seem to stop them.

I see all canvassers be it doorstep or telephone as an invasion of privacy.

Should be laws against them.

Oh and those annoying bags that come through at least 2-3 times a month for unwanted clothes etc grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I'm interested to find views on this bit of kit as its a potential B'day pressie for me.

Real.

I only paid £15 for my 6ft Nordman, but i'm lucky that my mate works for a major xmas tree importer.

Apparently the cost to the farm,street,layby traders is around the £20 mark for starters.

The cost has gone up due to our euro friends not planting as many, which has a knock on supply demand effect. Probably done deliberately???

Thatcher…

Used R and R for a couple of years, no complaints here.

well, do we know?

what about one of those rubber boot liners that have a raised lip around the edge?

you can then pick it up and chuck all the dirt out in the bin or wherever.

just a thought.

something like this……..

ffs, trainee's should'nt be driving around unsupervised anyhow?.

damage is damage, pay up. If it was yours or other management's car/property i doubt there would be so much indecision regards the handling of the whole event.

i,m about to use the 2in1 stuff they do, not tried it before so fingers crossed.

Empty Child is my fave , it still scares my Who mad son …….and me to be honest.

Blink though was good too.

Fed up though with the poxy cybermen episodes move on i say.

sounds dubious

Bought my girl a Nintendo DSi thing and my boy a Millenium Falcon toy and other Star Wars stuff, my mrs has been bought a reasonable digital hybrid camera plus assorted photography accessories.

Guess i'll be getting socks and Brut 33 again :-)

I have always enjoyed Ray's tv stuff, even when he started as a short bit in episodes of Tracks (if anyone remembers that?)….but i have to say he is a little tedious dare i say boring to listen to lately, don't know why but just is. Sorry Ray.
