Pings arent restricted to within NTLs network - unless of course you mean that, in which case I would suspect every network is similar . As you exit NTLs network then there are a lot of external factors. The amount of factors in transmitting data (ping packets in this case) are varied. eg routing, connection speeds, contention, recipients location etc etc For example are you saying that NTL can get a ping packet to America quicker than any other ISP in the UK? Highly unlikely. The approximate roundtrip for a ping packet from London to New York (off the top of me noggin) is about 70-100ms. There is no possible way you can do this unless you know a way of breaking the speed of light which takes ~50ms transatlantic, then ontop of that you have routers, switches etc passing on the data. Unless I am missing something completely obvious, then I apologise, but I dont see how NTL can trasmit data quicker due to "being cable" ?

Anyone tried it, yet? So far. OMR (Official McGroin Rating) = gash.

The ping times (I presume you meant) bit. Dont believe that.

Could you elaborate on that ?

Think its true that with age you can pace yourself or stop, but I find if I do go OTT these days the hangover is a lot worse and takes a lot longer to shake off than when I was younger. I used to be able to get wrecked 3 or 4 times a week and still get up for college/lectures/work, now after a saturday night out I'm like the living dead til sunday evening. 119579[/snapback] Just sounds like less practice to me.

Any sport that participants have to wear helmets in is for homs. FACTISSIMO.

Aren't all dentists mental anyway?

Someone is missing the booze. I suggest cocaine to fill the gap.

I know i've posted other threads about my loft conversion but I'm trying to find out if after they've given me permission i'm obligated to get them to inspect the work and pay them handsomely for the privilege. The builder I'm using said he once had an inspector out who was scared of heights and just signed everything off rather than go up the ladder! 119412[/snapback] Equivalent of a deep sea diver scared of water tbh

You're pissed off that 1 bud you've had aren't you. 119406[/snapback] Pissed and now confident after losing his virginity. Gods gift tbh

I know what you mean....but its hard to stop sometimes. Guess that comes with age.

Cant wait for UM and LM to see this.... wet panties time.

If she's got a conscience, you're right. Which makes the sentence pointless really. 119364[/snapback] Some sort of sentence had to be set though. She has broken the law.

Normally happens when you lay off it for a week tbh. 119286[/snapback] Is it possible to get pissed on Carling? I remember at Uni they had this piss water called Trent beer or something - about 3% abv. I drank 20 cans once and didn't feel remotely tipsy, although I had to piss a lot, obviously. 119290[/snapback] Trying to regain some butchness tbh. Nice effort. Still need to man-up though

Who really gives a f*ck. They need to sort out their lives tbh. Is everyone old in your office with nothing to live for, apart from death??

Normally happens when you lay off it for a week tbh.

Time to Man-up you hom 119244[/snapback] I was going to ask actually - is there a non-hom soft drink? 119249[/snapback] That's an actual beverage? I thought that was Rent boy's fancy name for "just water"! 119256[/snapback] What i don't get is the fact hes not drinking alcohol to try and lose weight yet when out has turned to bottles of J20 which to my knowledge, whilst tasting nice, just full of sugar. Would be better off on the spirits tbh 119265[/snapback] All in the head though isn't it. Plus his wife probably nags him about coming in pissed up.

Time to Man-up you hom 119244[/snapback] I was going to ask actually - is there a non-hom soft drink? 119249[/snapback] Coke is the closest thing you can get. If your devious enough you can pass it off as a Whiskey and coke......

Boys in your bedroom? Illegall DVDs? Suprised you didnt light up a dooby as well....

Time to Man-up you hom

I thought that was a separate case in which her son was killed in the accident. Her husband was in jail at the time.

I enjoyed Man on Fire too. Watched Requiem for a Dream yesterday. Jesus it was bleak viewing, but a good film. Well acted, but not one to watch if you're suicidal. 119150[/snapback] It looked good and that, but did you think bleakness was stupidly bleak? Fair enough to warn people against drugs but (***and there's spoilers coming up so look away if you ain't seen it***) EVERY one of the four users ends up such a horrific state it was just silly. Even if you get a canny strong drug dependency, doesn't mean you'll end up as bad as any one of them, to have all four plumb such depths spoiled it for me. 119164[/snapback] Aye, I know what you mean but it didn't spoil it for me. I didn't really have much sympathy for the two male characters for some reason, but I felt awful for Jennifer Connelly's and Ellen Burstyn's. 119169[/snapback] Agree with Gemmil. Didnt spoil it for me. Really enjoyed the double-ended dildo scene as well...

Craig in posting old jokes shocker...

Prefect way to write off 9.5M. No LOAN deals.

The UEFA cup is really shit now. Do we really make a lot of moola out of it?
