Yup. Think I'm going to add *.fr to my blocklists.

I'm certainly going to struggle to get enough moolah for what I want, but will certainly try and get a couple of bits upgraded.

Jon, the solution to baby care isn't to just turn the system up and hope that other irritating noise goes away, mate.
Just buy headphones. Far cheaper, same effect. ;)

Eggs in beans.

Normally love a big brekkie, with part of the meal including baked beans and eggs. Today I tried something a little different. I slow-cooked my baked beans (small knob of butter, black pepper, low heat) and when it was hot enough, cracked an egg into it and then continued mixing it. I was expecting some "meaty" beans, or at least scrambled egg mixed with baked beans.

What came out had a consistency close to rice pudding and almost as sweet*! :lol:



*it was probably more creamy than sweet but still :oops:

Obama Fail!
Quote:
US President Barack Obama has met the military team that killed Osama Bin Laden and praised their mission as "one of the greatest military operations in our nation's history".

I'm sorry. One of the greatest military operations in his nation's history?
They broke into a small building, shot one armed man and a few unarmed men (and women?).
Yes, we're happy he's dead, but the operation can hardly be described as such.

Great operations are on the scale of Operation Chariot or Operation Entebbe. I'm sure the US have performed many missions of equal scale. This just isn't one of them.

A lot of the Play.com website:

Add something to your basket in Playtrade and it sometimes deletes something else in there.

The search function often throws up a bit of spiel completely unrelated to what you're searching for.

Clicking on the 'next page' number at the bottom of a search often does the same.

:roll:

Me.

Had various issues with Windows so downloaded nlite and tried to slipstream SP2. Wouldn't work so tried SP3. Didn't work either. After muliple attempts and searching the web, turns out the files hadn't been downloaded correctly (ie "complete" before they actually were fully downloaded). Another few attempts and I finally managed to download SP3.

Slipstreamed it but forgot to enter the windows key so reloaded it and had to go through the various options again. Burnt the disc and tried to boot the computer from the cd. No go. Lots off faffing around and it looks like a failed IDE channel.

How do you slipstream stuff anyway?
As I understand it it's like having a Windows install disk but with all you drivers/software and settings already installed.
Is that right?
