His dads dead. BBC News - David Cameron's father Ian dies in hospital To be honest I found this post pretty embarrassing and ignorant - particularly as you didn't know his dad was dead. I trust you'll be following it up with a similar post about Labour and its past leaders? Miliband hasn't much form (nor will he, he's just a caretaker until Labour is ready for power again), but Blair and Brown have much worthy of mention. But much of your post relates to the many years Labour were in power and had time and opportunity to change any manner of things, but didn't.

Help me buy a car! £3700 for a large diesel hatch/estate
Gibbo replied to ben604's topic in General Chat
I've just changed up to a diesel Peugeot 407 saloon, but the estate is a great choice. Great prices at the moment and cheap to run and fix, with an excellent on-line community to back it up. -
What can he say which hasn't already been said? This isn't a political thing. It isn't a socio-economic thing.

If part worn tyres were such a danger then surely: A) They'd be banned B) There would be more mention of them being to blame in an accident
-
So every time you buy a new (to you) car I assume you replace all four tyres, since they're technically part worn?

Put me down for a stick or two if anyone pulls out.

I have this batch file: @echo off c: cd\ cd "c:\Documents and Settings\" dir *.* /b /o:d > \dirs.txt for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (\dirs.txt) do call :DelFiles "%%a" del \dirs.txt exit /b :DelFiles %1 set Flag=0 if %1=="All Users" set Flag=1 if %1=="Administrator" set Flag=1 if "%Flag%"=="0" ( cd %1 attrib *.* -r /s cd.. rem change rd %1 /s /q rem for no confirmation rd %1 /s /q ) or a nice VB script: On Error Resume Next Dim obtainfolder Dim Pathfinder Dim strPath Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") strPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\" userexcludelist = "Administrator,All Users,Default User,localservice,networkservice," Set f = fso.GetFolder(strPath) ' Loop through all subfolders For Each fldrItem in f.SubFolders fldrName = fldrItem.name If Right(strPath,1) <> "\" Then Pathfinder = strPath & "\" & fldrName Else Pathfinder = strPath & fldrName End If If InStr(1, ".00", fldrName, 1) Then set obtainfolder = fso.GetFolder(Pathfinder) obtainfolder.Delete true Else End If Next ' Clean up objects Set fso = Nothing Set fc = Nothing

I on the other hand have taken care of my gadgets and never dropped or lost a phone. I'm certainly not buying into a scheme where people accidentally-on-purpose break or lose their phone to get a new one.

Lasertech will take them off you FOC.

Same here, very good service and we've been with Viglen for many years. Normally I couldn't praise them highly enough but this year they dropped the ball.

I've known schools which have gone down the "one netbook per child" route in the past. It caused them no end of hassles - no payment from the parents, loss, damage, theft, forgotten to charge them, broken chargers, issues with warranties not fixing malicious damage, arguments over who will foot the bill, and extra man hours needed to process all this. Yes, they're a great idea but British schoolchildren aren't mature or responsible enough to look after them.

Projectors - new lamp or new projector?
Gibbo replied to dgsmith's topic in AV and Multimedia Related
Considering replacement bulbs only have a 3 month warranty, I'd go with what's already been said and go with new. -

Gibbo replied to jinnantonnixx's topic in Mobile Devices & Tablets
I use the app Maverick, it lets you cache maps from a number of sources. Maverick - Android app on AppBrain -
We use a tippex pen. Anyone caught messing and trying to pick off the writing is disciplined.

Another vote for the Transformer. Demand is extremely high though and there's not many out in the supply channel.

This is nothing more than a win-win situation for them. Problem: Paper has a bad name, companies and readers threatening to boycott it. Solution: Announce its closure and all profits from last two editions to go to charity. Result: Increased sales in last ever paper as people buy a piece of history. Outcome: Wait a few months for things to die down then Murdoch launches a new paper with a "fresh start". Sales will be through the roof and companies will clamour to advertise in the new paper. As for the staff, they'd already made their deal with the devil and took Murdoch's shilling and worked on the decades of outright lies and scandals. If they had any integrity they'd have abandoned the paper long ago.

Speaking of offending jokes, I see that Jordan has managed to milk a documentary out Sky Living about the joke Frankie Boyle made about her son. If anything I find her actions more offensive than Boyle's joke.

I'm more concerned about the number of muppets who can't drive when it's icy or snowy and we all have to suffer increased premiums.

Isn't it an INTEL network card? You'll probably get the newer drivers from there rather than HP. I have a few 7600s and 7700s and find that the drivers are rarely updated, instead I go to Intel & Realtek.

DVD Decrypter then AutoGordianKnot works well for me.

Just like Smartboards which invariably end up being a very expensive projector screen.
