Craig

The uswitch site is very good because you input all your usage information from an existing bill and it will advise you which is the best solution for you based on that. (think moneysupermarket.com does the same thing). Scottish Power are supposedly the best there is but there was something on the news the other day about them possibly being taken over by a Spanish outfit so the good rates may not last forever.. British Gas are thieving arseholes - at the end of the day the pipes that are supplying gas to your house are exactly the same, the only difference is that you're sending your money to another firm.

Topical.....

sure, but if this doesn't work I'm doing three things. 1) holding you personally responsible for the bloodbath that will undoubtedly follow and 2) letting Wacky and Smo do whatever they like to the people who own/run Dell and finally 3) buying a Mac with the money I demand from this shite- hawking company. good luck if you do ring Dell, the support centre is in India and their grasp wasn't too great when i last spoke to them You sure they gave you the right number? Whenever I speak to them they're in Ireland (then again that's usually the business support). HP on the other hand are from India and I've lost count the amount of times the cheeky feckers have told me to speak clearly so they can understand me! Cock-heads!

Put it in the right place and people may start!

Possibly.... The laptop may need the BIOS settings updating in order for it to know that the drive is now attached. If that is not the case then I suspect it'll need a driver file which will need to be run in order for the machine to be able to see it. (probably available on the web). Do you know if this an 'after-market' drive or one that was shipped with the laptop? If it's the latter, it's worth scrolling through Google groups as it's likely someone else has come across a similar issue...

To access it, right-click My Computer and from the menu select 'Manage' Computer Management should fire up and in the tree on the left hand pane, you need to look in System Tools > Device Manager

For all the hassle, I'd order a pre-built these days. Far more cost effective...

Absolutely - go to 'My Controls' and change it!

While we're at it. anyone else wanting any other flags?

I disagree like, I think the first one is them believing they're busting in on him having a wank and weren't quite expecting what they saw hence the gasps and the whispers before they speak. Also don't reckon his reaction is staged.

What's fake?? The bloke hammering the doll? I think not!!

Bet these two do! (Warning NSFW) http://www.break.com/index/caught_banging_blow_up_doll.html http://www.break.com/index/embarrasing_hot_tub_accident.html

Done!

OK so remember that time we went through a phase of creating avatars based on South Park characters? Welcome to a site where it's a piece of piss to make some more: http://www.sp-studio.de/ BTW have you still got the South Park Mr T image SLP??

Some twat at work has had his eyebrow (aye, it was a monobrow) waxed today! He wasn't impressed when I pointed out Paddy Kenny had pre-empted him by having his bitten off!

Is that you impersonating the sirens Rob??

We've all seen examples of it, and when you're desperately looking for a parking space, coming across cars owned by people who are either incapable of parking or who are simply downright incosiderate, it can seriously piss you off... Get a picture of it and post it in here. I'll start things off with the gem I noticed in the car park at work today. (notice how the Ford badge and white line match up perfectly!)

I don't see the link with that one like.... Neither do I, but it's DEFINATELY the correct answer... Howay man, it's Friday! If it was DEFINITELY the correct answer I might use it!

I don't see the link with that one like....

Have you actually got any of these yourself Craig? And don't try and pretend it's not some prize quiz for Children in Need at work either. Found in the office indeed It's not actually (although they probably should have done). All they've done for that is some raffle. And aye, I got the ones in bold myself!

Anyone know the others?

Nope - it's a list of ones I've found in the office and they're doing my head in!

And for the last bit, some cryptic questions: Name the following persons: 1. Scratched currency 2. Bob at the stake 3. Medic dwelling at 14lb ?? Livingstone 4. Mr Molina lost his ding-a-ling Alfred Nobel 5. Chief Chef Captain Cook 6. O damaged tissue untamed Oscar Wilde 7. Will Gallagher rattle his lance 8. If your cooker doesn't work hit it! 9. Get wed, get better.

Thank you very much sir (and the rest of you too! )

Anyone who who these three are?
