  8. Wireless

    in e-Saints

    Posted

    Those in the know geeks will also know that, in the very unlikely event of the wireless signal clashing with another device in the home, that you can simply change the channel on which your wireless network service operates.

    Here to help :P

    Correct. I use a 3Com wireless broadband router and frequently use the cordless phone on the desk beside the PC whilst logged on, and I've never had any problems whatsoever with losing the connection.

    Just a Boys Game staring Frankie Miller. Greenock at its finest.

    "YHoy McQuillian your teas oot"

    " Come ahead McCafferty"

    I have seen Elephants graveyard and Just Another Saturday out on dvd but not Just a Boys Game

    did it not go :

    "Haw McQuillan - your tea's oot !"

    " What dae you mean by that?"

    "Come and get it ya bastard !".

  11. Things They Should Release On Dvd

    They should release the Vital Spark, Pure Classic :lol:

    They have done. I've got a DVD of the only five surviving episodes of the BBC Scotland series with Roddie MacMillan as Para Handy and John Grieve as Dan McPhail. Absolutely brilliant. Don't think there's a DVD of the version with Gregor fisher as Para Handy and Rikki Fulton as McPhail, but there bloody well should be.

  12. Top 5 Tv Shows

    in Top Fives

    Posted · Edited by Bill Lees

    The very best programme on the TeeVee right now, bar none - is Dragons' Den.

    Five utter bastards with more money than Roman Abramovic sit and watch a series of often hopeless individuals pitch business ideas to them which are mostly bonkers, but the odd one of which is a good idea. When the good idea comes up, the bastards shamelessly try to steal it for peanuts - "I'll give you the £50,000 you need, but I want 60% of your company and your first-born child".

    Charlie Brooker thinks it should be more appropriately called "Bastard's Hole".

    One of the Dragons is a woman called Deborah Meaden, who clearly hasn't smiled since the Belgrano went down. Brilliant.

    Edit :

    Woops, just realised I've wittered on about this before - in December. No matter. It's still better than most of the dross on the Telly.

  13. Yet Another Crap Joke

    in General Nonsense

    Posted

    A rabbi is walking through Finsbury Park one day. Just as he approaches the pond, he sees a woman hurl a stick out into the middle of the pond for her dog to fetch. The Great Dane duly bounds into the pool an swims out to the stick, but soon begins to get into difficulties, and is in very real danger of drowning. Quick as a flash, the rabbi whips off his coat, throws his hat to one side and plunges into the pond. He swims straight out to the dog, clutches it, brings it back to shore, and gives it a resuscitative massage, whereupon the beast leaps to its feet and is as good as new.

    "Oh, how can I ever thank you enough?" exclaims the dog's owner "If you hadn't happened by and saved him, he'd be dead by now. I was very impressed by the way you brought him round with that masage. Tell me, are you a vet? "

    The rabbi shrugs his shoulders, and says "Am I a vet ? Oi, look at me, I'm soaking !

  15. Nero Cd Burning Problems.

    in e-Saints

    Posted

    I'm trying to burn an MS Publisher file onto a CD-R disc using Nero. But whenever I hit the burn button it says that the disc type is not compatible and that the disc type required is DVD+R/RW,DVD -R/RW.

    What am I doing wrong here?

    Christ on a pogo stick, does nobody else read this feckin thread and immediately lose the will to live? I feel like starting up an "I'm Train-spotting....." thread as an alternative. It'd be just as relevant as most of the posts on this bloody thread - "I'm train-spotting a Triple A series GXQ diesel unit". "Great Unit..... " :blink::blink::blink:

  20. 5 Things That Are Totally Acceptable .......

    in Top Fives

    Posted

    Oh Aye. And 4. A nice train journey. I really quite like a nice journey by train.

    ....except when the train carriage is full of f**k-witted ned f**kwits gobbing off constantly to each other or drinking tinnies endlessly or playing feckin MP3 players at top volume so the carriage fills with that fecking TSSSSSHHH TSSSSSHHH TSSSSSSSSHHHH feckin irritating noise. Or f**kin Mancunian arseholes with a guitar who play and sing shite Oasis songs the whole journey and think they're all "mad for it" and tell everybody so whether they give a feck or not. Or f**k-witted fannies that wouldn't know about considering others if you tattooed it on their feckin eyeballs that sit there with their manky feckin feet up on the seats and give you dog's abuse in return if you so much as politely suggest they desist.

    AAARRRRRRRGGGGGGh :angry:

  21. 5 Things That Are Totally Acceptable .......

    in Top Fives

    1. Having a nice listen to the radio.

    ......except when it's Radio 5 and every other fresh-faced numpty of a presenter reporting "live" back to the studio answers the simplest of queries from the anchorman by gushing "Absolutely !!!!!" instead of just saying "Yes". Or when they give the weekend's football results round-up and say "and in Scotland, Rangers won 3-0 and Celtic won 4-1". :angry:

    2. Going to the cinema to watch a nice fillum.

    ...... except when you're surrounded by f**k-witted Herberts on all sides whose mission appears to be to munch their way as noisily as possible through several hundred pounds' worth of popcorn, hot dogs, feckin nacho chips and, worst of all, bags of rustly, crinkly, noisy feckin-wrappered sweeties. That is when they're not gobbing off to their mates constantly or TALKING ON THEIR FECKIN MOBILE PHONES during the fillum :angry::angry::angry:

    3. Flying off for a nice relaxing holiday in the sun.

    ...... except when you have to share a plane with 120 unwashed ned/chav burberry-baseball cap-wearing brain-donors. Who ALL have to spring to their feet the instant the plane touches down in order to spend the next fifteen minutes getting their bloody king-sized holdalls out the overhead bins and standing there like spare pricks waiting while the stairs are brought to get off the plane. And who then ALL have to stand as close as they possibly can to the luggage carousel - feck anyone else - as soon as possible and grab the last luggage trolley and then spend the next twenty minutes waiting there for the carousel to start up and the bags to appear. Not to mention the terminally inconsiderate f**k-wit in front of you who always reclines his seat with gay abandon, crushing you and making it nigh on impossible to read, eat, or sometimes even breathe.

    4. Erm.. that's all. I need to just go and get my blood pressure down a bit.

  22. New Laptop/virus Advice

    in e-Saints

    Posted

    I've used Norton Anti-Virus for a few years now and it's absolutely fine. I also have the built -in firewall activated that came with my 3com wireless router, and to cap it all my ISP Virgin provides an additional firewall of sorts into the bargain.

    I hesitate to say that I'm immune, but I've not had any infections.
