Excellent BBCode usage there Mr Hayton! It's amended!

Just did that and now have a lovely 25% discount for 12 months I was offered half price but only for 3 months. I'm doing something similar with NTL for broadband. They can't for the life of them understand why I haven't transferred to their broadband service from dial-up. They are evidently keen to switch off the dial-up and are offering incentives in order to do so. The latest offer from them is 2meg broadband at £7.99 a month for the next 3 years (before it reverts to it's standard price). I'm waiting til they drop that to a fiver and then I'll sign up!

who you kidding. mp3s killed minidisc stone dead! In terms of popularity, I agree - in terms of quaility, MP3 is excellent, but it's slightly inferior. Have you ever played an mp3 through a decent sound system? Even a high bit-rate, it still has short-comings in terms of clarity. On a standard system, you can't notice the difference. As I said, the market was thriving a few years back and I prefer them as re-writable media!

I still have a MiniDisc player and plenty of MiniDiscs. The pre-recorded market never took off but the market for using them as re-writable media was thriving a few years back. Combining CD quality with the versatility of cassettes, I still prefer it as re-writable media to a CD-RW

It's far too early to say... HD is using AC1 as it's compression algorithm, Blu Ray has, up until now been using MPEG2 however they're changing it so that they're using AC1 as well. AC1 has a better compression ratio and therefore they quality is not as reduced as that of MPEG2. As for the cost, well at present the HD-DVD players are anything between £400 and £700, Blu Ray players are costing around £1000. However as with all technology, this will undoubtedly reduce rapidly over time. With that in mind, and with no idea whatsoever how the Blu Ray will perform with AC1 compression or which way the consumer will sway, I'd keep your pennies in the piggy bank for the time being

Are anklets back in fashion then? What on earth are you on about?! Well if you've even got one of those things that should be above your heed, I'm sure it's loitering around your ankles

Are anklets back in fashion then?

You're a disgrace!! Aye, and what of it? Notice she didn't say no though. Say 'no' to what? I was simply suggesting that we might like a pic of an emot. What were you thinking of you dirty little git?

You're a disgrace!! Aye, and what of it?

Evidently not God knows what that's about but it's probably a setting somwhere. I'll have a look.

Can they not be just removed?

Bullshit, you'll be still fucking cacking it about your Aussie neighbours!

If it's not bad enough that a kiddie so young as that was taken away from them, these new events are just awful. The first thing that springs to mind is that it is some sort of sick vigilante attack but thankfully the police have discounted that - still fucking terrible news.

Sorry If it's any consolation I didn't get to have my pizza I don't think I'll ever eat dough balls again!

Are you in a different time zone or something SLP? That's two threads you've posting in today, talking about "today's game"

I see very little prospects in any of our defenders at the moment. (With the exception of perhaps Taylor, but even he's in danger of being drageed into the mire) And to think that, with very little hard work done this summer, we could have quite easily had a back four that consisted of Sol Campbell, Jonathan Woodgate & Wayne Bridge. Still, so long as we brought in more midfielders, eh?

Arrrrrrrrrrrgh, I've had to stop eating my bowl of cornflakes now!

Fabulous!

Well we've won it, and deservedly so too! When was the last time Europe won 3 times on the trot?

Update that 'STOP' button

The day my Mam died I just listened to music for the rest of the day and that was the first thing on the stereo. As with a couple of other tracks I listened to that day, it's stuck in my memory. Another one that gets me, ever since Pedro made that video, is Evanescence - My Immortal
