Ohhhhhhhhhhh extra 8k a year and a house that costs £1285 a year to rent  :shock:

Good Luck   (£1285/Year!Jammy dodger)

DAMN <CENSORED> OFF!!!
Some <CENSORED> ikkle <CENSORED> stole my & my friends bike today.
From inside the building.

Mine was a £500 Shogun Xc300 and hers was a £250 Diamond Back.
That's the 2nd Shogun XC300 that I have had stolen from this building.
So £1000 worth of bike gone.

Mr M32 is itching for some vengeance at the moment......

Not happy 'cos I just spent over £400 when it could have been nothing...

Got up yesterday morning and the PC was off. Strange as it's on 24/7. Tried to switch it on and nothing. Took case off, switch on, CPU fan just moves then nothing. Unplugged the drives - same. Motherboard has been making strange noises recently so I thought that had gone, time for an upgrade anyway.

Got a new motherboard (only 1 IDE input which caused a bit of a problem with 2 DVDs and an IDE HD), Quad CPU, 600 watt PSU and a cheapish graphics card. Then found that the memory had a different number of pins so I had to go out and get some new memory as well.

Carefully rebuilt the system...

Switched on...

EXACTLY THE SAME RESULT!!! WHAT'S GOING ON??? THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO CHANGE!

Case? Disconnected the case wires and shorted the 'switch on' pins - still the same! Disconnected the drives again - same.

Then I noticed a cable under the drives - the floppy drive.... No, it can't be? Yanked out the floppy power supply cable and up it came!

I swore - profusely!

Windows complained that the system was different since last activated. Do I want to reactivate yes/no? Bit of a problem as it stops just as the USB is switching over. I couldn't reply as the keyboard and mouse would not respond. Fixed that eventually, activation was a breeze surprisingly.

So at least I got a nice new, fast and quiet PC but don't tell Mrs. Mikee I spent over £400 when it could have been just £10 for a new floppy!

You know fine well as soon as Ben reads that he is going to blackmail ya!

Slightly Pissed-off.

Got back off holiday last night, restarted 'puter and BM started up at the sametime, "I like this new version!" methinks.

BM plays funny buggers all last night and all today with the few wu's I managed to d/load, then Bob tells me (on the chat) that the berks have withdrawn the new version and put the old version back up for d/load.

Think I might go back to Crunch3rs!!

UPDATE: the 'berks' now have v6.2.16 for download, which is now alongside v5.10.45 as 'recommended versions'

Totally P****d off
Finished work, got to the car, some kind person has smashed front passenger side window.  :twisted:

Get home after talking to Police to find I have been victim of identity theft and my current accounts been almost wiped out  :twisted:  :twisted:
Had to cancel debit card as a matter of urgency, now going to have to go through banks fraud department to try and get my money refunded. I think I need an appointmentr with a bottle of something strong and alcoholic  which I don't usually partake off.
Not one of my better days

6 hours in casualty after having a "Micturition syncope" hasn't done wonders for my mood as I had a crack on the head and will probably have to replace the bathroom carpet due to the bloodstains!

I'll try not to do it again doc!

Had to look that one up on the internet Mikee.
It dosen`t sound much fun, hope you`re feeling better now. (Shame about the carpet.)

Thought people might, didn't want to make it too easy:-) Casualty Doc said DVLC might require me to stop driving for a week, which is a pain as that's what I do! Seeing GP this afternoon.

Feeling OK now though.

Blimey Mike
I had to look it up aswell, doesn't sound good

Thanks guys

AKA..

Fainting while having a pee, compounded with a bang on the head by the door handle! Feel a right dork now!

All OK now apart from a lump of glue instead of stitches. GP says just one of those things that happen for no reason. Probably won't happen again, but it might - great help! At least I can still drive, I don't have diabetes, hearts OK and normal blood pressure.

So mood is a lot happier now!

Hope the head's feeling better, Mikee!

Being a diabetic I can sometimes get wild blood pressure swings. Just standing up too quickly can lead to almost blacking out! It's not a constant problem, only occasional. Reading the webpage, it looks like you're peeing with the door open from now on!

Rather p****d off atm.  :evil:
