Remember Stu, we may be poor substitutes, but you've always got us

Light snack only Stu - I'm a bit worried that all my Winter weight jumpers may have shrunk in the wardrobe over the Summer (it's the excessive heat that will have done it)

Forced it to shutdown - powered up again - same result

Eventually, in disgust, offered to take wife around the shops (I must have been cheesed off) and left the PC running. Came back over 2 hours later to find it had downloaded everything - but was sitting waiting for me to re-boot "to complete the installation"

And now the button that flips the lid open on the kettle has decided to give up the ghost - that can go back to Argos this afternoon (it's only 6 weeks old).
Anyway, I'm here now, just had two scotch eggs smothered in mustard for a lunchtime snack, together with some rather fiery home-grown radishes and scally onions.
Temperature has dropped from 17.5 last Saturday to 10.5 today, and it's mizzling on - I've had to put a long sleeved shirt on

Sounds like your having fun Rod

I'm sitting in Pizza Hut with Ros and just about to have a trip to the Garden Centre to get some winter hanging baskets, deep joy

I got hit with the same MS updates Rod, took an age to install. Laptop just about ground to a halt.

I've PM'd Paul about what I mentioned earlier, supposedly there were only 137 1.8T 160s produced in anthracite, couldn't believe such a low number. Curious how many were in + spec. I could have a very rare beast indeed

I really like technology Derek - I enjoy looking at it, listening to it, using it - but I hate it when it won't work properly
