This may be a really dumb question, but can you use windows type apps?

We have outsourced exchange for our emails so I really need outlook (I think), I also have a couple of old laptops that became too slow so am interested in trying linux … also would I be able to use windows games & watch dvd;s on ubuntu? (I suspect the answers will be no, no, yes)

Some of these are brilliant – someone should document them

Not one of my parents, but I do like it

You can't polish a turd

Can we ban stuff too … muffin tops of fat people?

fozzybear, cheers, I have been considering it … next time there are spare funds it will happen 🙂

My grandfathers advice when he heard I was getting married :- "make sure you get a good sofa, you will end up sleeping on it sometimes"

Trekster, I know that feeling, I have a 140bhp passat est with the dsg box & find pulling out of junctions can be a bit hairy as you hit the flat spot & the DSG box is trying to work out what to do .. a bit unnerving when there is a car coming towards you & you arent really going anywhere.

The ice racing is totally mad, that would be something to watch with F1 cars … I read somewhere that the tyres are doing up to 150mph & the car is doing 70 sideways … its where the old F1 drivers go anyway

Snow blowers too!

I did enjoy this last weekend & the fact that some were two stopping & some were on one stop, I even enjoyed the nonsense that says you have to run different tyres, it all spiced it up a bit. Not always like that though

Flav for President?

Well he has juust taken a public spanking 😀

Percol Espresso stuff, does the job & as long as you get the ratio just right then not too bad … dont go adding lots of water though

I like the fact that when Bernie was asked if Flavio was a friend he replied "he likes to think so"

You probably can. From the top of Caesars Camp (Farnham) you can see Canary Wharf & The Gerkin quite well … I havent been there when Wembley is lit up & the night is clear but am pretty sure you would be able to see it too

My parents spent about 10 years there & my mother was spitting about how much it had been dumbed down / made to look easy that (the lovely) Ms Humble could do as she liked & only got security updates etc at the last minute.

Other than that very enjoyable 🙂

Isla bikes, we have a couple for our boys, both have been brilliant, perfect for little, hands, feet, strength etc etc.

Mine have seen regular use for about 3 years & I am the wrong side of 15 stone.. front & back are both straight & true & working fine.

Probably a bit heavy but work fine

Like millsonwheels we stayed away from the chemicals

Oh god, it took us ages.

The best bet appeared to be wash hair, then use conditioner, then a louse comb; it appears the lice cannot hold onto the hair because the conditioner makes it too slippery.

Then blow dry & make your kids hair go like a puff ball …. haha my 6 year old boy hated that bit!

Hogs Back Tea I assume

There is a map on the site with an elevation chart on it.

Pretty flat I guess, to me in my lardy ness there are short sharp bits, but I guess the longest hill is about 100m long, so nothing too much.

We are out around the woods again tonight, I have not managed to work out exactly what the course is though.

From last year when it was just 2 inches of mud everywhere & the odd large puddle it is totally different. Dry & a bit dusty, I did find a puddle on Saturday but chose not to ride through it, so no dramas with it covering the whole width of the track.

If its any help I had a GPS with me on Saturday, here's the google map link to the route that I took … some of it will be right.

Linky

I stopped & spoke to one of the organisers while there & he said that the course is not exactly the same as last year, some of the route will be done backwards & some bits have altered.

I have driven a couple. A ZZR engined westie & a blade engine caterham. Lots of fun, great with the sequential box & brilliant front ends due to lack of weight.

Not sure how they would work in a puma though, the original cars I drove would have been 500/550kgs with their original engines in so nearer 425/450 with the bike engines.

Definately good for a laugh & totally manic.

Cracknell does seem like a huge guy, whenever you see them silhouetted it is easy to see which one he is.

Totally agree with above, if he were more humble (& wouldnt we all like more Humble) they would be looking much stronger as a team

"Who took the jam out of your doughnut"

Brilliant all of them, I will be home to the DVD collection to catch up on some old favourites having read this.

But can you beat the sicillain scene from True Romance. … ok, its not a one liner …but hey, you are part eggplant

Sorry, original clip?

I have coffee coming down my nose now!

Where did you download the original link from?

We have a scenic, the car supermarket in Slough does some decent deals.

Many hate them, ours has been great. Now the kids are a little bigger there are 3 rear seats so we can bring a friend home. Also easy enough to take a seat out for putting bikes in. Lots of storage space & a very dinky second rear mirror so you can check on the little one while driving … very very useful as you are about to find out 🙂

I think the drummer broke his collar bone or something like that

I thought the sound was dire during The Answer & Subways, but awesome with AC/DC, obviously they turned it up a bit but also I moved from the floor to the stands, so may have made a difference.

Lots more AC/DC on the various music devices around me this weekend 😀

Make my fantasy come true & tell me the roving beer-vendors are scantily clad dollies…..

Major concert, beer, totty …. perfection

Goes off to the little room for a quiet few minutes

Oh yeh, I suspect we will be there to find a bar at about 16.00.

I did see AC/DC when they re-opened The Hammy Odeon about 4 years ago, brilliant; Brian Johnson forgot the words to Back in Black & did the first verse twice. DOH!

Lois on the Loose is also worth looking at.

There is a good sailing on about a bloke in a boat called shrimpy too .. it can be found on PDF

I figured I wouldnt rush out & get a Michael Jackson T Shirt to wear 😆

Ace, sounds like I am on a winner, bring them on 🙂

Define Marathon … longer or shorter than 2 minutes?

We are learing to empathise 🙄

Sorry beconase not sinutab for the nose

I have had hayfever since being a kid, sometimes the air can feel like beathing syrup which is a little disconcerting. Generally now I just treat the symptoms, Optrex for the eyes, Sinutab for the nose, does up & go with it.
The medication is cumulative so worth taking regularly rather than just when the symptons hit.

After ride pink eyes is the worst thing. Looks like I have been crying for hours (& it has nothing to do with me being slow & scared)

I’m an IT Recruitment guy…. its pretty crap I’m afraid.

There are a few companies recruiting, if you find the relevant company or recruiter who has the role(s) & your skills fit then its good.

There are more companies doing not much so much fewer real live roles around I’m afraid.

Sorry I have nowt around Bristol / SW
