Wouldnt he be away in the african nations the same time as Martins? One thing if was to replace MArtins but not such a good idea if both were to be away at the same time.

Aye, a tougher race as well.

Thanks for the link, tried it and no change of any note like. Wonder if I should move the hub downstairs and try via wireless rather than ethernet? I avoided taht as Id been told wireless gets too many dropouts.

Hmm, I have put mine upstairs then use an ethernet connection from it to the pc. Of course the extension to whenre it is would could some slow down, but I still cant get my head around the fact that my last modem and 1GB connection was getting me pretty much the same speed?

and according to that Im getting 967 kbps download which it says is 129 kb/sec

Anyone use it? Ive just changed it from my old adsl router (that was fine really, I just went for the extra wooshyness). Im not using it as wireless, Ive connected using ethernet. The hub says my speed is about 4.6GB download and .5GB upload (is this normal for an upload?). But, when I use the speedtest site, it says my download is about 950 kb/s ? I went to a site to download a pdf, and from there I was getting about 85kb/s Anyone got any idea? I was expecting a faster d/l speed or am I mistaken? Oh, and if anyone is thinking of the bt home hub, it installs a bunch of shitty software thats a complete waste of resources. Im busy trying to disable them and the crapy browser it wants you to use....

What its come to when im quoting myself. Its took me until now to realise that what Glenn Roeders face looks like when he pulls that god awful expression

Eyes water? I reckon your whole face must tighten up like a marble bag...

Bought a Wii Got Zelda with it. Though enjoying the sports one. Might get SSx as well as thats meant ot be canny.

1. Just got my 5mb Broadband from BT enabled 2. Havent fitted the new router yet though 3. The new speed is melting my current one but I cant be arsed to go downstairs to get the new one and set it up 4. Gonna go to the metro centre tomorrow to get my head sharpened 5. I've started picking up wor lasses baby magazines and reading them....

Didnt I just read that you tried to knick one of Matthew Pincents medals so you could wear it around your neck as a medallion?

she wants to know right now

.. and ready back over what I wrote it was pretty terrible even by my own standard. Luck in place of look ffs just for starters !

Hey, that was me rolling to the end of a pretty hectic day My oft cautious spelling went RIGHT out of the window as I let my fingers get ahead of my brain. my excuse anyway...

Will you love me forever?

Sometimes... also say hyem.

Not want to try and add a bigger picture like?

Aye, tried Tesco and Asda. Canny for most things except fruit and veg which they seem to bounce all over before it gets to you. Oh, and if they have ran out of say brown sauce, they will give you a jar of jam instead....

that bloody song will be in my head now!! Obviously a touchy subject? dont think I know that one? what's it go like?

Thats bugs me. Esp in the metro centre when I want to get in and out asap. Usually stand there pondering the questions. Often feel like asking if they want a hand. "hmm, £10..... £20 ...... £30 ....how much have I got ................................................................................................................................... £547.56 .... So, hmmm.... do I want a recipt? <asks girlfriend>"

Ooooh this thread, now I see

Also, bugs me when the person in front stands in the queue and doesnt get their money / wallet / purse out until the cashier asks for it..

I think the "under privilaged" have both ends of the scale(s) Either skinny weedy charva with a spliff in one hand and a can of Ace in the other, or a skinny lass who lucks like she's been sucking on a vaccuum cleaner hose. Or, the fat ones with a treble buggy, crop top and leggings queuing at MacD's moaning about their weight while smoking a cig and flicking ash on their bairns head. I reckon I'm intelligent-ish, tall-ish and have asperations of being athletic, but never quite get there if that counts..
