I use the Council's MOT depot, like a previous poster said they don't do repairs so it makes me feel more confident that i am getting a fair test, they don't even charge the full fee (i think i paid around £45 this year). I hate going to a garage I am not sure of so find the council one a godsend.

I have been playing ( if I can call it that) around 4 years now, like a previous poster it's usually between Easter and October. me and a colleague play at the munies In Leeds, my colleague is also a member at Willow Valley so I have played there a handful of times (when I have thought my swing is up to it). i have had a few rounds around the 85 mark but I am usually anywhere between 93 and 113 depending on how hard the course is, I couldn't believe how much i liked playing even though i am not that good.

you could try this one, video quality not great but good story,

yeah but has he had his ladder training?

how long did you have it working on the roof open to the elements?

I had this one a while ago, i think (trying to remember) after trying all sorts of stuff it turned out that one of the function keys had been pressed.

we are looking to replace the systems in one of our ICT suites and have had a quote from Viglen for their Genie Ultra Small systems, is anyone using these systems and Viglen? just looking for general feedback about Viglen and their systems from the past year or so. cheers

oh i know, i had had a bit to drink and was being a bit silly

having just recently moved into a property (September) i have just been through this process , firstly i was going to go with sky for broadband and was chuffed when they said they would reconnect the phone line for around £25 (i had heard of the dreaded £125 form BT) but was then told they could only offer me the sky connect package which was rubbish. in the end cutting a long story short i ended up with BT reconnecting the phone line and they did charge me £125 for flipping that bloody switch, i did argue the toss with them but to no avail they charged me anyway and then they sent me a letter saying thanks for agreeing to a 18month contract and because i had they would waive the reconnecting fee. all i can say about BT is be very careful i didnt see anything anywhere about a 18 month contract. and if you can get on cable jump on it i was with them for about ten years and never had any real problems with them, connection and downloads were spot on ( i would personally dig up my own path to get that gorgeous piece of fibre in)

just got 4 (2 for high school and 2 for primary) on a 4week trial from Lamphouse, if i remember correctly were trying two different models priced at £270ish and £325

i have had this problem before and it was the usb port that i was plugging the drives into that was faulty, used a different usb port and it was fine.

we had the same problem on a couple of machines when installing logmein, we realised that Sophos was reporting suspicious bahviour when installling and was stopping it from running correctly.

i had the same problem when we bought some new systems for one of our primary schools, i changed the original cable setup (serial/ps2) to a usb one and its worked fine ever since. we bought ours from: Insight UK - Laptops, Computers, Components. Over 70,000 Products i think the Product Code is: SBDMJUSBFR (just check it though just to make sure and if anyone can find it cheaper let me know just in case i need anymore:D). i have also tried the generic adaptors and have never really had one work properly

is anyone using games consoles in there lessons? there are a few articles on the net exploring the ideas around using Nintendo ds and PSP, we were looking at the PSP with its cam for multimedia ideas. any info about applications, suppliers and costs involved would be much appreciated. Cheers

we have had integrated AD happen at some of our local schools here, a high school and its family of feeder schools had there AD integrated by the LEA service provider. they said that from a support aspect nothing would change and that third party support would still get the required access to maintain and configure the individual networks. but it did...... it took weeks to get a logon account (administrator status gone) and then when that happened you still couldnt do anything on the networks. there were lots of promises and nearly all of them were broken, it seems like they just wanted total control, they even offered free technical support to try and Persuade the primary schools to offload the third party support.
