Got some Lagavulin 25 year old at home.

Of all the fantastic single malts that me and friends tried when on Islay, this is by far the most amazing whiskey that I have ever tried.

Powerful, complex and smoother than any cognac.

This is my current choice, for reasons that currently elude me.

Don’t really remember why I chose this. Came from a long drunken conversation with a friend of mine a while back. Can’t recall what he chose.

I do remember that the only alcohol I chose to allow was lots of sherry [both sweet & dry] and food included heroic quantities of Jaffa Cakes.

I’m not one for morbid sendings off. I’d be happy in knowing that a pleasant afternoon’s diversion was had by all.

I think that comfort during a funeral can be overlooked…

I went thru the same as you, but with camera gear. Ended up very frustrated with not much to show for it, apart from a box full of receipts. 😯

This…

Looking for something similar myself.

Running out of room with my current 1TB external drive and have chanced it thus far with no back up. 😯

As I have a laptop the idea of going wireless vis NAS is really appealing but the Drobo gear as good as it is remains too expensive, unless it’s for a commercial application.

I’ve found Synology gear which would seem to fit the bill. All the reviews I’ve praise the relatively low price, ease of use and choice available.

I’m still deciding which enclosure to go for…

Thanks for some good news ernie_lynch.

At bloody last. A cleaned up Croydon we can tolerate.

How long was this going on for?

Will he be charged with grooming horses?

What do you lot think?

Yay or neigh?

😀

Not a bad phone. It’s been likened to a stripped down HTC Desire [slower processor, less RAM, less internal memory, smaller low res screen etc] which is fair comment.

Wildfire will take it’s time with any CPU intensive tasks, like Angry Birds. Using all of it’s functions will drastically reduce battery time.

I would get another, if I hadn’t recently tried out a Desire. Ho Hum.

Recently, it’s been this 😯 8)

Where I work, I know of a Dr. James Mason & Dr. Rong Dong 😀

Have to agree with jools.

Just look at Liz’s face during any public occasion. The disappointment and air of hopelessness radiating off her is palpable.

Poor cow…with a family like that is it any wonder she looks like she does.

At least one of her grandsons can be wheeled out in public with the knowledge that he won’t do/say something stupid. It’s all down to parenting. Charlie may have his faults, but he did a better job than Major James Hewitt!

😀 😆

My mum cooks a fantastic balsamic roast pork, with glazed apples.

It’s the food of the gods. Great big lardy, immobile gods. That’s why she only does it occasionally…

Economic Left/Right: -7.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.82

From what I could tell, I’m a proto commie with a strong distrust of state apparatus and the free market. Sounds confused…

Go me.

I seem to be to the left of the Dalai Lama 😯 . The graph pegged me as a strong libertarian lefty, apparently.

I always thought of myself as a centrist, with a just perceptible lean to the left. For all my faults at least I’ve not morphed into a right wing degenerate. Wahey!

The Citreon DS has a lovely shape. Even after all these years it’s still a sleek looking car.

The E-Type Jag V12 is ugly. It was at the end of it’s life as well as being designed for the American market. It’s the 3.8 which is the looker.

It’s engine was great. However, the rest of the E-type was a cobbled together bag ‘o shite. The majority of cars have either been crashed or have rotted away.

The Liverpool manager flew to Bagdad to watch a young Iraqi play football, he was suitably impressed and arranged for him to go to Anfield. Two weeks later Liverpool are 4 – 0 down to Man Utd with only 20 minutes left. The manager gives the young Iraqi striker the nod and on he went. The lad is a sensation, scores 5 goals in 20 minutes and wins the game for Liverpool. The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted and the media love the new star.
When the player gets off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her about his first day in English football.
‘Hello mum, guess what ?’ he said ‘I played for 20 minutes today, we were 4 – 0 down but I scored 5 and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the media, they all love me.
‘Wonderful’ says his mum ‘Let me tell you about my day’.’Your father got shot in the street and robbed, your sister and I were ambushed, gang raped and beaten and you brother has joined a gang of looters, and all the while you were having a great time’.
The young lad was very upset. ‘What can I say mum, but I’m so sorry’.
‘Sorry!!! Sorry !!!’ said his mum, ‘Its you bloody fault we moved to Liverpool in the first place !

You can go into Disk Utility and select your HD, Erase > Security Options.

Choosing the strongest one will overwrite your HD so as to make any kind of data recovery impossible.

Your comment on porn sites…I laughed 😀

You think that Microsoft Security Essentials is enough?

I’m asking because it seems too easy. I had a feeling that securing my system would involve installing a bunch of varied stuff.

Overall the only issue seems to be the blue text.

It is a very nice shade of blue, but not the easiest to read on a white background.

– Manager Mohamed Rasheed told the AFP news agency: “The man had used filthy language. Otherwise the ceremony was OK.” –

That’s alright then… 😯

I did laugh, which means hell is beckoning. 😀

What is with the Japanese anyway?

The world’s leading producers and consumers of weird shite.

A holiday there might be fun. Or just disturbing…

Yes, he did get the sack.

The wrong one!

silverpigeon

She wants to hang on until those two twunts do what?!?

Is it her way of saying she wants immortality?

With a bit of history!

I really don’t want to spend too much time flinging cack [figuratively] at Thatcher.

Not when her son can be accurately described as a pathological criminal!

This has the makings of a potentially great thread.

Mark Thatcher: Human Picolax!

😀

Julianwilson,

Burial at sea sounds grand!

Somewhere fitting, like [pulls a name out the air] The General Belgrano?

Kevevs

Yes, please.

Thatcher done to a crisp at 666°C. Ideal temperature for roast Beast.

IGMC…

I feel that this thread is slowly losing relevance.

BTW what happened to Lanestra?

😀 😈

😀 😀

… and Pinochet’s best mate.

They should have been nailed together and fired at Botha’s govt. from a ballistic missile sub.

As soon as she finally karks it, Lanesra can always pledge his undying loyalty to that prince a mong men, Berlusconi…

Thatcher é benvenuta alle mie palle anche. ..riposando sul suo mento!

😈

Lenesra,

Thatcher, Thatcher ladra del latte!!

😀

David Weber’s Out Of The Dark would be great.

Again, waiting for the paper back

Aliens keeps being rated as better than Alien.

Don’t understand this. It was the beginning of a slow but definite decline.

It’s a very good film, but imho Alien was the better movie.

slowjo

😀 😀

Waiting for it to come out in paperback…

I realize that re-booting/re-imagining/call it what you will, yields greater profits than a creative approach to Sci-Fi.

However, there are so many classic Sci-Fi novels that could do with being filmed.

If they want to start a long running franchise, they could do worse than the Culture novels by Iain M Banks! 😀

As long as it isn’t bolloxed up… 👿
