  1. Or an Asus Transformer if you fancy Android
  2. Disappointed - thought this thread was about putting in beer pumps in every room ;-(
  3. My son is playing at the moment - he's a bit disappointed that the all the additional weapons he wins seem to have the same functions (throw or lay a trap), just with different graphics - what do you lot think?
  4. I spose it depends on what you want to watch - my VM package is £45/month and includes 60Meg BB, TV M+ (ie Freeview plus a few other bits and pieces) and unlimited phone calls - I do have to pay extras if calling mobile numbers - so try to avoid that - I do get a solid 60M though...which is nice...
  5. Only let the atheists actually sing??
  6. Too bloody right - if I tried to get my skirtings off - most of the plasterwork would come with it! You could always get some flat cable 20m FLAT Cat5e Ethernet/Patch Cable - GREY: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics - easier to hide under carpets (if you have them)
  7. The "other side" from the BBC - at least bck in those days when there were only 3 channels (and of those were the Beeb)
  8. Clubbing together at work to buy blank CDs so we could get an order for over 100 to get the price down to £2 a disk..
  9. Got home today to find that Virgin have doubled my internet speed to 60Mb - weekend internet here I come!!
  10. If its all on your land - wouldn't it be better to get fibre laid?
  11. I'm irritated that they are only checking "beef" products for "horse" - lets have some proper testing - who knows what other rubbish is in there? Though like others here - it doesn't affect me directly as I cook from scratch. I enjoyed one of this article The meat scandal shows all that is rotten about our free marketeers | Will Hutton | Comment is free | The Observer
  12. You need to read http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Art-Computer-Programming-Fundamental/dp/0201896834/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361833753&sr=8-1 proper stuff! I found it very helpful when I was a trainee programmer - I guess very few people write from the floor upwards now as most algorithms are available in libraries.
  13. You could also look at painting the wall with reflective projector paint such as Goo Systems Projection Screen Paint there are quite a few brands available - I wished we had done this - we bought an automatic roll down screen that was forever getting bashed around (specially as the pic looks like the room is also used as a gym)
  14. Yeah - Its well worth a read people!
  15. Anybody else watched it - good twist ending I thought - and beautifully shot throughout...
  16. My homeline is a rock solid 30Mb - so you'd hope the business version is at least as good. They do do traffic throttling though - so you'd need it in writing that they will not apply this on your proposed line.
  17. Funny you should say this - I've started getting nuisance calls on my mobile - I kept the number just for family only for years - but just before Xmas I had to give it out to Sky support when I was fixing a problem that my Dad had with his router and phone - since then I have had loads of cold calls (double glazing, roof insulation & PPI reclaims mainly) - I'm pretty sure Sky have sold on my number and I certainly didn't give them the OK - not happy!
  18. All the very best Tony - its been a pleasure
  19. Another vote for Diprobase - they used it on me in hospital and it worked great - its very similar in composition to E45 - so try one of them - they take a bit of rubbing in - but do seem to help
  20. Ditto to this - it makes it a lot easier to manage and much tidier.
  21. Hi - As the title really - I'm on VirginMedia and my existing Netgear router is playing up - so in the market for a new one. It'll get a lot of heavy use as I've a lot of music/video stored as well as a teenager with all his mates trying to download to entire internet. 8 wired ports would be good and built in wifi would be helpful as I could lose the additional WAP that I'm running Look forward to hearing about good/bad experiences - cheers
  22. Yeah - cheers - I'll have a look
  23. Intersting - as I am having problems with the USB ports - its an ASUS MB and the Asmedia ports keep dropping off - which is irritating - spose it might be connected.

  25. Amusing yet sad...
