Just as I expected:
1) Seeks solace in stuffing the face with cream cakes
2) Does not know the name of her vacuum machine
3) Irrational flocking* of machinery

Hormones at work again - hope you feel better soon, Donna.

(*Flocking = fruitless repeated attempts to get a machine to work by pressing the buttons; eg: repeatedly pressing the lever on a toaster that is not plugged in to the mains.)

Before going any further, run a search for msconfig and tell me what you find.

Then again, a nice cold can would go down nicely

Albert Lionheart · 23rd October 2008, 07:58 AM

It didn't stop there - back to the pub for a couple of pints of Hobgoblin with a mate and then back here for more booze (Spanish brandy). Head hurts a bit and I have PARCELS! today. Yippee!
Rule round here is that if you have done your homework you can kick the cat, spit on the mat and call the boss a b astard.

**Daveskater** · 23rd October 2008, 06:16 PM

Hobgoblin - a local brew

Albert Lionheart · 23rd October 2008, 06:18 PM

And a really good one too! I like the new handle tab with the red flashing light - kewl!

Blackmirror · 23rd October 2008, 06:23 PM

ALbert what you on about ?

**Daveskater** · 23rd October 2008, 06:33 PM

That's the first I've heard of that mate, my dad has it from time to time so I'll ask him haha.

Blackmirror · 23rd October 2008, 06:35 PM

Its a man thing

Albert Lionheart · 23rd October 2008, 06:49 PM

Hobgoblin = nice bitter from Dave's county of Oxford. The beer pump handle wotsit has a picture of a goblin/witch/nasty with a red flashing cat/bat/nasty. Does not harm the beer at all!

**Daveskater** · 23rd October 2008, 06:59 PM

Oh right the pump as in not out of a bottle

That's where I was confused haha.

They make it about 4 miles up the road from me in a town called Witney

You can smell the brewery in the town centre on a warm day

On another note, my sister's such a noob. She comes up to me and says "my Pc won't turn on" I thought eh up, that can't be too good. Then she said that she took her USB pen out the back and then it turned off and then won't come on again. So I checked the power cable, nothing, took it out and put it in again, nothing, flicked the switch on the back of the PSU off then on, and it works now

She said she'd done all that but I must just have magic fingers.

Albert Lionheart · 24th October 2008, 02:15 PM

Tell her the electricity was bad that day - most times they believe you!

Hiya, Dave.

Nope. It's a Nikon Coolpix L18, that takes decent pics (for a cheapish camera), in my not so humble opinion.

Samples found in my webshots linked (Flowers and Things) in my siggy.

Well ... hello all.

It's been a horribly brutal week ... culminating in a HUGE blowout on my part (mostly) last night. I had a melt down and freaked out on everyone.

Justified, I was, but it was not appropriate.

I had a wee think and later last night, offered a no hold barred talk about and gripe about whatever you like family meeting. Get all our grievances out and aired and come up with some solutions. I'd like the solutions to come from them and am more than willing to accomodate or work with whatever.
We HAVE to get ourselves sorted and working as a family TEAM, not against one another (or the 3 of them against me, which has been the case of late).

Said meeting will take place in about an hour and I'm hoping for the very best outcome.

Please, TST people, send us good vibes.

I promise that they won't be wasted.

Ahh, Nikon, I remember now hehe. Don't know why I thought it was Fuji

I want to get a fairly cheap (about £100) camera when I get paid, and yours seems to take great pics

Edit: Just looked it up on amazon.co.uk and it's about £85 for a silver one, £97 for a black one. That fits my budget

Edit again: Or £79.99 inc delivery on Dixons.co.uk

Blackmirror · 24th October 2008, 06:41 PM

Same here
son 21 suddenly realised that smoking himself stupid on weed is not the answer

Him and his brother have gone cold turkey 4 days now and given it up and cigs as well

Hugs and all my love xxxxxxxxxxxxx

MightyQueenCarolyn · 24th October 2008, 06:43 PM

LOL it's the camera and not the user, eh?

This one, I'm SO impressed with, Dave.

It cost me around $150 and takes just the sort of photos I like.
Even the instructions are easy to understand.

Well worth a look, imro.

Have a great rest of you day and I'll see ya laterz

PS Mine's black. Way kewl.
