I put out Chrome at my last school, no issues at all with it.

The AAIB website publishes quite a lot of reports which also make interesting reading: Air Accidents Investigation: Home Thankfully most of the reports are minor, some are actually amusing.

No, still not managed to sort it. And now students get a popup box asking for username and password when they try and go on the web.

Don't Apple do a scheme to allow teachers to buy discounted Macs through the school?

It seems to be a proxy authentication issue. If I put a username and password into any proxy config boxes (such as Logmein) it works. We've put Proxifier on and added the mail server IP to it and that also works now, but can't be a permanent fix for obvious reasons.

Some time on Friday we found we'd lost a few services - Offsite SIMS backup, SMTP mail to external addresses and LogMeIn. Web is fine though. We've not done anything to our ISA box so I can't understand what's happened. Any ideas? Sorry I'm being so vague, but I've not used ISA server before.

I'd be interested to hear if there were any "Outraged viewers" who "were left furious". Because I watched the episode and wasn't outraged or furious. I thought the previous 9/11 joke was closer to the bone in the episode where Brian and Peter travel back in time with Death and Brian picks a fight with a guy and arranges to meet him at 9am on 9/11 on the roof of the WTC to have a fight.

How many machines and which imaging method are you wanting to do?

Another vote for Dan, always comes up with the goods.

Agreed its a world away from a normal Judo or self defence class. Take aforementioned class. Now ask the kids to remove the white pyjamas. Move it from a school or community centre to a working mens club or pub. Allow strangers to watch. Let said strangers drink alcohol. Encompass the children in a cage. Film it. At what point in the above list does it become wrong?
-
If its not getting mapped drives as well as the background I'd say it was a network issue causing both problems. Is the group policy timing out and failing perhaps?
-
What a shame someone was cowardly enough to give me neg reg and put: But didn't have the guts to openly challenge me and my comment in this thread. Ashamed of your own opinions perhaps? What would you call them then? That's if you have the guts to respond.
-
What flavour? Home, Pro, Enterprise Pro, which SP integrated?
-
Exactly. Words like "could be" and "looks like" are very poor journalism and scaremongering.

Thanks all. I'm getting a bit of time to get my head around the system. But one area I've not been able to fathom out are the menus. I can create a site or page without any problem, but I can't fathom out how to add it to this drop-down list. Is this menu a standard feature or a third party add-on?
-
When I saw the footage it just seemed very seedy. Isn't there a word similar to Speedo for grown men getting excited watching young semi naked boys rolling around on the floor? I'm reminded of the similar story where a parent was letting her young daughter (<10) do pole dancing because it was exercise.
-
Can anyone recommend a person or company who would be able to take a look at our Sharepoint portal? I've recently inherited it and there are various errors and issues that need an expert's eye rather than my own. Thanks

I think the biggest problem this country has is that most drivers aren't sensible enough to make those judgement calls, or feel they're adequately qualified enough to make a decision themselves. You only have to see how many people jump red lights or block box junctions to see that driving standards are at an all time low. I remember a time when if someone made a mistake on the road, they'd generally put their hand up and gesture an apology. Now if you dare to rebuke someone with your horn or lights you get nothing but abuse, road rage or even being followed. But until this country has zero avoidable accidents on the motorway (I saw an amazing one a few weeks ago where a woman just pulled out into the middle lane and knocked a biker off. It closed the motorway for 4 hours and gridlocked all the surrounding roads, and daily see people driving too close and too fast) and no-one being caught by speed cameras then there is no way this government will reward any good driving.

74900 miles (at time of listing) 11 months test 5 months tax All round electric windows Electric folding mirrors Automatic rain-sensing wipers Cruise Control Power steering ESP and ABS All round disc brakes Dual climate control (driver and passenger can have different temperatures!) Heaters in rear Two keys (one the flip-out type) Steering wheel reach and height adjust Lumbar support Front driving lamps Enhanced radio and CD Player (radio shows station and the song playing) Trip computer Alarm Remote central locking Remote boot opening Door locking and child locks, rear window locking control switches on driver's console Fold down centre console armrest (with cup holders) in rear Alloys with locking wheel nuts Lovely, clean condition inside. Non pet owner, non smoker. Service history with book stamped and various service receipts. Excellent MPG - will do 54mpg without even trying, and will exceed that on motorway runs. I bought this car as a project after selling my old 307 diesel. Other than working in a school I'm a freelance Peugeot diagnostics expert, specialising in the 307. I own the diagnostic equipment that Peugeot dealers use and offer a service where I visit Pug owners and diagnose their car's problems for just £25, giving a full breakdown of any issues rather than just a generic code read, and then offer advice on self-repair. This car was for sale at a local garage I do diagnostic work for. It had been purchased by a customer but he pulled out after it suddenly showed the anti-pollution warning and DPF (diesel particulate filter) regeneration problems that can occasionally plague these cars, and had a couple of other minor issues that I fancied tackling - as much as I like helping out others I erally enjoy working on cars, as I used to be a mechanical engineer many years ago. Having the diagnostic software means I know which parts are faulty and I can source and fit them myself! Its had the following done, at a cost of around £600. The parts will also be guaranteed: New radiator fan, relay and wiring loom New EGR valve Turbo banjo union pipe and filter clean and replacement New heavy duty drive belt New glow plugs New wipers New air, fuel, pollen, and oil filters and fully synthetic oil change Diesel particulate filter top up, clean and counters reset I've also fixed the common fault where the dashboard reports a brake light fault (caused by a bad earth on the rear light cluster), the tyre pressure sensors have been sorted (was giving false readings of a flat tyre) and all engine pipes have been removed and cleaned. I've owned and worked on Peugeots for years, and am very active on the Peugeot user groups, so you can be sure I won't be selling you rubbish and then disappearing. I had planned to keep this car for myself, making my commute as pleasurable as possible but I've recently got a new job far closer to home and its better for me to jump on the train and go two stops, so the car just isn't going to get much daily use, if any. I've often gone from one Peugeot to another make of car, then quickly switched back! I've owned a couple of 205s, a 307 and three 306s in my driving lifetime, and will be keeping the diagnostic equipment (unless a generous offer is made with the car!) and continuing to offer diagnostics services around the Merseyside and Cheshire area. Being a 7 year old car though, it does have the odd scratch and trolley ding, but nothing major or detrimental to the car. It also had the common radio display fault where it looks a little faded, but I should point out this only usually happens if direct sunlight has been on it all day long. It returns to normal if you turn it off by pressing the DARK button, or turn on the air con to cool on the central console vents for a few minutes. It otherwise looks crisp and sharp as you can see in the picture, and hasn't done it for over a week or two now - probably because the weather has gone a little cooler. Everything else with the car is great, tyres are all well known makes and have plenty of tread, brakes and steering are all good, it sailed through it's MOT in July, and is a wonderful drive - smooth, quiet and luxurious. Considering the amount of work done and all the usual faults have now been corrected I think £2895 very fair asking price. If you're in the market for a 407 then ask yourself (and the seller) if these problems have been sorted and when they were done. If not you could be looking at spending another few hundred getting them done (and believe me, they will need doing sooner or later), but don't take my word for it - have a look on the Peugeot forums. You'll often find people have bought a car and then discovered these problems and need help, or have spent hundreds getting them fixed at a garage. These cars easily fetch over £3000 (I bet this is the only one listed under £3000 with this level of detail and work done), and this is worth every penny of the asking price because of the remedial work done. It also had a full tank of fuel put in on Sunday, so at the time of listing there was about £80 worth of diesel in it, which should easily do 700 miles. But this will go down as I use the car, so be quick! http://nwex.co.uk/temp/407/1.JPG http://nwex.co.uk/temp/407/2.JPG http://nwex.co.uk/temp/407/3.JPG http://nwex.co.uk/temp/407/4.JPG http://nwex.co.uk/temp/407/5.JPG http://nwex.co.uk/temp/407/6.JPG http://nwex.co.uk/temp/407/7.JPG http://nwex.co.uk/temp/407/8.JPG

Same here. The best thing I ever bought for my car was the Peugeot Planet diagnostic equipment. It cost £80 but I've made my money back a few times over lending my services out to fellow Peugeot owners because the equipment does a full diagnostic and not just a code read those cheap generic ones do. And as I'm not affiliated to any garage I just steer them to places like Euro Car Parts or the like. I originally bought it because the car was very sluggish. It could have been one of a dozen things and I could have bought and replaced parts until I found it, or took it to Peugeot for a diagnostic (£75) and the spare part (£120 + fitting). The Planet tool identified it was the MAF sensor and I managed to get a replacement for just £35. Car ran like a dream after and MPG increased too! If anyone in the Cheshire, Merseyside or North Wales area needs a diag, PM me!

Conifers are actually terrible trees for wood burning stoves. The sap content is really high.

Its worth bearing in mind that car groupings sometimes have no bearing on price. I've just gone up from a group 9 to a group 19 and the insurance came down by - wait for it - 2p! My younger brother also got quotes for a group 1 1L petrol Corsa and it turned out a 2L diesel Peueot 306 dTurbo (the sporty one) was cheaper.

If you're tall, want something with a bit of power but also fairly economical you can't go wrong with a Peugeot 307 dturbo. There's also lots of scope for remapping and upping the BHP.

I think there's little point in continuing the entire thread, never mind discussion. MattX has a history on here of similar trolling posts, and hasn't even bothered to comment on the content, just a lame copy and paste. I note the other day this little gem: He can't even get the phrase right - I think you were looking for "toffy nosed".
