maggiespaws

Made the mistake of upgrading my iPhone to 3.1. It seems the word on the street is this is a bad idea. Was also going to jailbreak it, but can't now (at least for now). Apparently the vulnerability this was supposed to fix - isn't. Also, it upgrades the core of the phone and you can't don't grade. I can't pretent to fully know wtf I'm talking about yet - 'cos I don't

If he was nine months old last year, he won't be when he takes him on a holiday in the future, will he? Don't think about that one too hard though, will you? And aye Paws, I'm sure you did have good hols in touring caravans but I couldn't be chewed with trailing one round personally. Aye, my Dad towed it to the site for us as I dont have a towbar. I know what you mean though. The journeys to the south of france were a ballache like. Used to take us the best part of 2 days to get there. I think I'm all caravan'd out now.

Well, he's nearing 2 now

Aye, indeed. I hope Smithy looks like could join ZZ Top by the end of the season I like Stevie's idea too.

The static ones can be alright, depending on location, obviously. I've had loads of good holidays in touring caravans when I was a kid. For years we used to spend 3 weeks in France over the summer. Last year I took Mrs Paws and 9mth old Master Paws for 2 wks in Wales (was skint and that was all we could do). Pissed down for the whole fortnight and was an absolute nightmare with Master Paws & the caravan. Never again. We all went to Centre Parcs in May this year and it was great. I'd probably consider doing a holiday in a static if there was plenty around to do for Master Paws.

Today, I'm mostly having a Jet day, on account of the fact I'm going to see them tonight in some little venue in Manchester (The Ritz Nightclub). Their new album is canny. Not as heavy as I'd have liked, but melodic.

Touchscreentastic aren't they? I post from my touch whenever there is a game on tv, like now Aye don't want to sound like I'm gushing but fook me this thing is the pups pips. Best.phone.ever.

On itvhd if anyone has freesat. Don't know if it's on skyhd. 1st post from my iPhone

The Oirish are going to get very confused.

*hovers his finger over the "Fucking Ban Him" button * Yeah, I get that every now and again - there is a story to my screen name, which I generally have to trot out every time someone makes the above comment. I think we're on about the 4th / 5th incarnation of this board now, after a couple of db crashes, domain problems etc. I originally posted as 'Magpie' as that's a screenname I always used. During one of the board crashes, some other poster registered as that name before I did and so I had to think of a new name. I have a cat called Maggie, who likes to sit on my desk next to my PC when I'm working from home. As I was sat trying to think of a new screen name Maggie was sat on the desk in her usual spot. She got up and walked across the keyboard (something she rarely does 'cos she gets chucked off ther desk for doing so) typing a load of shit into the name field. It gave me the idea for maggiespaws. Shite really and I've often considered changing it for one of my other screen names (cybermag); but maggiespaws is always a name/login that is available and to be honest, it's kind of stuck. Most people (including myself) tend to shorten it to just 'paws'. Oh and AccaDacca, you've just given another great example of why your optimism is blind and unrealistic. The idea that 'if' we get sufficient injuries we can just dip into loans to sort us out and still come up champions is fucking mental frankly. Pass over what you're smoking, I think you need a break.

Fish is right. I'm generally an optimistic sort of bloke and that optimism has been bouyed by our frankly blinding start. However, my gut feeling is that we're about to hit an element of realism now as some players may have been playing for a move. Acca's problem is his optimisim is indeed blind, or perhaps better put as unrealistic at best. Having said all of that, I don't mind him really. He's at one end of the spectrum, and we need him to counter balance the misterable, gloom and doom feckers at the other end He can get a little tedious though, as can those at the other end of the spectrum.

This for me. Having said that, when I consider that players might have been playing for the shop window, my optimism for Sunday falters. It could be argued that our start to the season has been down to players playing well to engineer a move; rather than Hughton's influence. Still, I'm inclined to bellive he's been working hard and it's paying off. Fair play to him.

Can we win this game, hell yes. That's my feeling when we approach any game and that's not some misguided belief or that I suffer from AccaSpacca Syndrome (hereby known as ASS). We can certainly lose this game too. They are playing well at the minute and are one of the strongest teams in the league. We have lost some of our better players - those better players which helped us to get an away draw with WBA (one of the other strong teams in the league IMO). Without Guti and Shola, our attack is weakened, but Carroll will be back and wanting to score. He needs to get his name on the sheet whilst Shola is out so as not to get overshadowed. I think Guthrie will be important for us as will Nolan. Saylor will keep tabs on Chops and Chop's strike partner is out for the game anyway, so their in-form partnership will be broken. The insane optimist in me says 2:1 to us, but I'd settle for an away draw. Of course, now that I've said that the score will not doubt be 3:0 to them and Chopra will get all 3

I think I'll get me one of those! Very suave.

I seem to have inadvertantly started a plastic/silicone/rubber or leather argument...... ........ which in itself sounds a little gay, or certainly a bit twisted Ant - that casemate looks canny. Are they strong enough to withstand me accidentally dropping the phone as it slips out of my pocket?

Right, I'm convinced (not that it took much). Rung O2, and reserved the Black one and I'm picking it up tonight after work. I think I might get one of those moulded skins. Does that make them much bigger in your pocket? I know the missus wants a white one, but hers will live in her handbag. Mind you, if it has a skin on, the colour wont matter I guess.

Right, my bottom lip has officially gone. My toys are nearing the edge of my pram and the chances of me throwing a paddy are increasing exponentially by the minute. After being told I'd get my new iPhone yesterday but it was delayed; today was the day. Well, today came and they only received Black 16gb 3GS and not the White ones. I originally wanted a black one but was convinced by the girl in the O2 shop that white was the better option as it doesn't scratch anywahere near as much. Looks like Tuesday or Wednesday now. Bastards got me all excited, I've read this thread, browsed the apps store and even got the missus excited about hers too. I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!

Actually, if you look at the bloke on the left, he could actually be saying 'Thier only signing of course was Lovenkrands.' Just before the other bloke goes akka.

They never reached the heights of their first 3 albums (but few bands do), but I thought their recent stuff wasn't bad to be honest. They were great live (assuming you got the 'good' liam) and I've listened to the stuff Noel & Gem did live together and that was canny too. They are one of my favorite bands, but they came with a lot of baggage. I'd be interested to hear Noel solo/Noel & Gem. Was always on the cards though. Lian can't handle the fact his brother has all the talent. Meenz's lyrical quote is a case in point.

I worked in a chicken factory for 8 days. The smell was unreal. Took me a long time before I ate chicken again. They came in live and left in a plastic, cling film covered tray.

I can understand it when people get upset when dates are changed for TV (particularly if you've planned ahead), but as an OOT I love it when we're on. Admittedly, PNE would have been a day trip for me (and still might be) but if I can't/don't get a ticket then it's a great excuse to go to the pub

Nooooooo! The O2 store I'm dealing with hasn't received their stock of iPhones. Can't get mine until Sat now

Yeah, but itunes recognises that the ipod is synced with another pc though doesn't it? I'm sure I've tried that before. My 8gb ipod is set ot sync in that exact way and if I plug it into my work PC is askes to wipe it EDIT: Just had a thought - I have it set to sync certain playlists - I'll be that's why. I do manage manually, but certain playlists sync on connection. Will try that when I get home. Pick up the new iphone (hopefully) tonight - assuming the stock comes in. I had a nosey round the itunes store yesterday and there are loads of canny apps. Some nice stuff for guitars (tuners , chords etc) which will be nice. The TomTom software gets a mixed review... Might have to 'aquire' a copy and try before I buy

Sorry to drap up a post from 10 pages back but - can you explain more about the above That will be ace for syncing my iphone with my work and home PC's
