  3. Nah - a geek is a nerd with computer skills!
  4. Dammit! Missed it!
  5. What annoys me is that if we had been as far sighted as Norway (for Gods sake!) then we wouldn't be in this mess - they decided to take the money from their chunk of North Sea oil and create a massive pension fund so that the increasing numbers of old people in relation to the smaller number of younger working people wouldn't be a problem see - The Government Pension Fund of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - instead of p1ssing it all away over the last 30 years. Deep sigh... Its not without its own problems - but its a nicer type of problem.
  6. You could always just stick LogMeIn or similar on their office machines and let them connect like that - then they could use all of your installed software
  7. Now you're talking - none of that "pod" nastiness - lets face it - they're just glorified instant coffee.
  8. Push the boat out and get one of these - De'Longhi Magnifica ESAM4200 15-Bar Bean to Cup Espresso/Cappuccino Maker, Silver: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home its just SO much better than the alternatives!
  9. I think the Prime is in silver only - I've just bought the TF300 - which is the same spec as the Prime but has either a blue/red/white case and costs £100 less - its very lovely Spent a lot of time looking round but the price was the same everywhere - so just picked one up in the local Currys. Beware though - a few online dealers are selling just the tablet bit without the keyboard at a reduced rate - but I guess you will need the kb for note taking - I coughed another £13 quid for the fancy cover that splits in two - Black Leather Keyboard Pouch Folio Stand Case Cover for ASUS Transformer TF300 | eBay
  10. Or what about the WD TV Live WD TV Live or the Roku Roku UK | Stream Netflix Movies, Crackle, TV Shows, Play Games and more on your TV with the Roku Streaming Player I use the WD myself - cracking little box that can show BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Youtube and stream straight off your network
  11. Just bought the TF300 - its lovely
  12. Reckon we should all wear these I Did it Right the First Time Funny T-Shirt - to 5XL | eBay
  13. I was much aggrieved a few weeks ago when I heard that my favourite music/culture magazine (The Word) had gone bust - a real shame...so I was doubly annoyed when my latest issue of PC Plus came the other day saying that it had "gone west" as well. Damned shame, as I'd been reading it for about 20 years - things just won't be the same. Any suggestions on other mags to fill these gaps or are you all just picking bits up online nowadays?
  14. Your score: 100 Gender: Male Age range: 50-59 Best score for your gender and age range: 0 Highest score for your gender and age range: 1520
  15. I used to work as a cashier at a petrol station in my youth ( a long time ago...) and my mate (a clever lad, but deficient in common sense) who also worked there set the (plastic) paper bin alight by accident with a cigarette. Instead of putting it out with our fire extinguisher, he carried the bin out onto the forecourt and dropped it. I dived for cover behind the sweets rack, expecting an atomic bomb sized fireball - but actually nothing happened at all, except it burned itself out - apparently its not as easy to set fire to this stuff as films would have you believe.
  16. Yeah - thats just poor technique by the nurse - having had more needles/canulas/arterial lines than I care to think about over the last year - its clear that some people just have "the knack" and others definitely do not. Its no fun if you get the local "stabber", but odds are you'll get a better experience next time.
  17. That sounds sensible - though its never bothered me personally.
  18. Yeah - in a previous post I had done 9 years - redundant, but was part of the close down team - so by the time I left there was no one left to give me a present or even a card ;-(
  19. Being fortunate enough to be at the other end of the cycle from you guys - I can't recommend buying your own property enough - I've paid off the mortgage and now we can survive on a single wage without all the worry. Its a weight off your shoulders and a boot off your neck - we can give "the finger" to "the man" and not have to dance to his tune anymore. Yes we were fortunate that house prices were a lot lower when we started out - but conversely interest rates have been a LOT higher - 17% really made my eyes water and made the repayments quite a bit bigger than one of our salaries, which made being redundant quite stressful, though I agree with the post that reckoned prices are to high and interest rates will rise...though I've been thinking that for several years and it hasn't happened yet - I'm not sure the govt can take the pain that would be caused by mass repossessions as happened 20 years ago, but we'll see. At least you're in a cheap part of the country - or you could just take over the house across the road and squat and save your money...
  20. Mine goes through the loft and exits behind the guttering downpipe then down the wall and in through a vent hole - cheap as chips and has been running for 10 years
  21. I used to do commutes roughly of that length - its a pain in the winter and also a pain if your workplace is sociable and likes to go for a drink - as you have to stay on the soft drinks or crash at somebodys house - neither much fun in the long run. If you do go for it - I'd strongly suggest you investigate going LPG - it'll save you a fortune and make your trip even more lucrative - Prins Autogas UK or similar
  22. All the very best Tony
  23. If you haven't already sorted it - see ALDI - Sunday Special Buys 8th July 2012
