Mercifull

I dont know if you've heard of Academy schools in the UK. They are privately run businesses. Some of them are very good... others, like in Bristol are complete failures. All the Private sector ever seem to do is balls up a perfectly good service, railways, busses, schools. Privatisation just never seems to work.

Wasnt this already posted a few weeks ago?

Because money on a computer is just a number, you dont realise how much you are spending compared to irl

He didnt really sneak it in, its been in the press about this for weeks possible months. Most online gambling should be banned imo, its very dangerous and its undoubtedly ruined some peoples lives.

If its for a presentation then you dont want a heavy song or one with lyrics because it will distract from what you are saying.

You... and i quote "used the clear private data button". Did you not think that the whole point of the clear private data function was to clear the private data...? Unless you have a backup you cant get them back.

Its a mystery isnt it... :)

Some stupid Yank registered the nick Mercifull and hasnt even logged in for months :cry:

It is very difficult and while yes, there are ways to reprogram a mobile phone, id be willing to bet on the majority of mobile thieves not knowing how to do that.

Whats better... shoes or a banana? In my opinion M.K.S is overrated and his most recent films have been very poor.

How long do you have to listen to it before it works well?

I found it quite interesting reading your post until i came apart the bit about 13 letter groups. Thats really scraping the barrel, especially with Ted Bundy writing Theodore... National Geographic has some nice history on why its consitered unlucky: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news ... day13.html

I was under the impression that the latest research said that women accounted for a third of all gamers no where near the "more than men" figure the original poster claims

I really dont know why people still bother stealing mobile phones. All you gotta do is call the mobile phone company and they will scramble the phone and make it unable to connect to any network or accept another sim card. It will be useless to the thief both for himself and will be unable to sell it. Royal Mail stole my digital camera, was sent to me in the post and it just never arrived. Never got returned to sender aither :(

ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã800 on a 32" Sony Bravia HD LCDTV ^_^ Probably a waste of money but i love it :D

Best Purchases: My iPod (how unoriginal) and my house are the main ones. Also my DVD collection ^_^ Worst Purchases: My house again, as much as its gonna go up in value and make lots of money for me its still a hell of a drain on my finances in mortgage payments :( Oh and yesterdays train ticket. Had to get the train to London at relatively short notice yesterday morning. Cost ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã119 for a return ticket >.< Only costing ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã24 when i go in a few weeks!

The only change i see happening for the moment is that copywrited material will be removed a lot quicker than it is now.

I like Lost, but not enough to bother with downloading it. I can wait until it airs... or at least record on my PVC so I can remove/skip the oscene amount of adverts Channel 4 puts on it.

All the monitors with dead pixels at work are all Dells.

HOSTS file ftw! :D

Jeff Minter once said... "software old enough to be running on emulators is not going to be exactly generating a huge amount of revenue"

BBC has some good coverage on it http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6042306.stm News article http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/6042484.stm Pictures No sign of terrorists, seems to be just an unfortunate accident. Someone died only a few weeks ago here in the UK when his little plane crashed :(

Pretty much every TFT screen we have at work has at least one dead pixel, some of them have an entire line of pink all the way down. Then again they are McCheapo monitors and not very good quality in general.

Usually i get called by my last name, Sims, even by my parents lol but sometimes the old school nicknames come out such as Mini Man or Dwarf (I used ot be very short ya see) lol
