  1. Yeah it rocks,getting a new Family Guy episode in 15 minutes rocks so hard,BitTorrent is actually the only program that puts my speed to test,I always get around 220-240 KB/S for the newest FG episodes. 34856[/snapback] That's one of the nerdiest things I've ever read. 34867[/snapback] In all fairness Gem, anything parenthesised between "Yeah it rocks" and "rocks so hard" is going to fit that criteria.

    If it's a neccessity for the insurance paper work then yes. Honestly, why would you ring the cops when someone breaks the law?
  3. I watched Jenas last week for Spurs, same Jenas that's been playing for Newcastle for the last 2 years. Today I saw a marked improvement, mostly hard work with little end product but I hope it's not the beginning of considerable improvement under new management. Still, I suppose it's an extra 2 million for us if he plays well enough.

    Isn't that supposed to be Shiv, or am I being threatened with...
  5. It's doing what you say in Explorer but not in Firefox, I hate that kind of thing. I think if you slap a valign=top into the td containing the featured sponsor banner it might sort it. It's doing my head in trying to read through that Dreamweaver code though. What I usually do is switch the main table border=1 (or a nested table if neccessary) so I can see within the borders what's not aligning and then just correct the problem within the problem cell.

    I wasn't offering your services Meenzer. I reckon there's plenty of straight guys who've been victims to this kind of shit over the years who'd be up for some sadistic man-love, eh Wacky? Or should I say Semi Ballesteros...

    On licensing. How do you test for good parenting? What happens when an unlicensed mother gets pregnant? The pro-life brigade could have a field day with that one. What happens if someone gets pregnant by an unlicensed father? He walks away? What are his legal claims to not supporting the child seeing as it's not legally his anyway. How about we let big gay men take these charvers up the arse while their parents watch? Very cheap to the tax payer and let's face it, it's a condensed version of why most of us don't want to go to prison.
  8. Where on that page is it? It's not a cellpadding/cellspacing issue?

    Charver scum

    Agree with that, if the law could sort them they wouldnt be doing it in the first place. Mate of mine went to the trouble of prosecuting a few years ago and had his name and address read out in court, had the rest of the family threatening to burn down his house etc. It's not worth the aggro for you. When I was a kid I was legally threatened by a cop if I wouldn't go to court about something I saw, I told him to get fucked and luckily my mother stood by me. Only thing worse than the charvers is the cops.
  10. With jokes like that, shell have to go!
  11. Well, you can say this about nearly every French player since Euro 2000. Sagnol is playing very well for Bayern at the moment. He has been offered a huge new contract and hinted that he will sign it. If he moves on a couple of big teams like ManUre and Valencia have been expressed their interest in recent times. 34338[/snapback] In other words we've got no hope of signing him! Malcolm McDonald basically said on 'the Legends' last night that how we're playing at the moment is down to the players and couldn't possibly reflect on the manger's tactics. So obviously Sagnol has a twin picking up the caps for France, or else McDonald is a twat. Call me cynical but I feel TC has established that opinion based on Sagnol's reasonable performance at Lansdowne and some considerable bias.

    Spreadsheet question

    Not quite the usual excel request, Rob?

    Spreadsheet question

    I don't like to do anything real on a windows machine, this is all getting uploaded to a postgres db. I used EditPad in the end, one quick find and replace, it's easy enough to explain how to do that every month. Regular Expressions are your friend! Can't believe excel can't deal with half a million rows now. I'm sure it's been that way for 10 years. I know it's the exception to the rule but this is one case where that capacity would make sense. Thanks for the info.
  14. I had an argument with my brother the other day about whether it was 'woosh' or 'whoosh'. I've just looked at that 'woosh' and it's wrong, it's like a naked 'whoosh'. Anyone liking it without the 'h' is a pervert, and I don't care what the OCP has to say about it!
  15. Yeah, all that woosh bollocks is annoying anarl. btw
  16. Thats too simplistic. I'm not someone who says "you're born into a class and then die in it" but simple class=money doesn't work for me. I still call myself working class despite earning what a lot of people in the north east especially would call a good living. I see it being at a more ingrained level than that. As it happens I don't have any kids but I could see that if I did and they were brought up in the "affluent" south, over a couple of generations that ingrained sense of "loyalty" to the north east and my origins would be diluted. My problem with inherited wealth and privilege is mainly that its self-perpetuating - as I said there can be mobility as wealth grows and fades but overall there are too many people who have "no worries" who own too much of this country - certainly far too much for it ever to be fully qualified as a democracy or a meritocracy. 34298[/snapback] You're quite right, plenty of upper, middle and lower class people accept you for who you are. I'll never truly be upper class because in spite of my achievements they'll never quite accept me at the pony club. That was really my original point. Let's not fuck people off just because they're in any class. Have a drink with them and then decide they're a wanker.
  17. I'm a forum virgin tbqfswtm, I was briefly Figo in the dark place.
  18. More meritocratic. Because it has less class hang-ups! In a nutshell. Jesus wept tbh. 34289[/snapback] Yeah I got that, I totally disagree though. I don't buy the 'American Dream', born poor always scum, there and in any other country I've ever lived in.
  19. I'm really not mate. I just don't think we should expect more money to mean more sensitivity, plus you've taken up a point I was argiung with NJS. And my problem there is I feel he's having a go, with vitriol, at the upper classes in general. Which I find offensive and ironic. misconstruist! 34263[/snapback] You've said that a second time now so you must be deliberately misconstruing me. When have I ever mentioned money=same thing as class? I actually take 80-2's point that many of today's upper class are on the bones of their arses and have nothing like the wealth of many of the middle class. I don't see it as a money thing at all. I see it as a privilige thing-and understanding why you are in that priviliged position in the first place. 34275[/snapback] No, I just said it again because I thought you'd missed it first time around and I thought it was the simplest way to point out where I thought we were disagreeing. Not sure how I feel about the difference between class/money. I don't particularly agree with 80 on it. People who lose the cash to keep up will be booted down the class system, surely? Although having said that, attaining the money to no longer qualify as working class will never get me up the class system. I wouldn't deliberately misconstrue a point by the way. That would make me a complete twat. I don't think I am, completely.
  20. Any of you bright sparks know a spreadsheet program that can handle 500,000 rows. OpenOffice and Excel both stop at 65,536. Been bugging me all day. I should specify, it needs to be windows based. I'm designing a system that will allow someone to download am updated list every month, alter it a little and upload. Basically excel with 7 times the row capacity would do it!
  21. As opposed to the masses - poorly educated, unintelligent and completely out of touch with reality. Just how the system wants us.
  22. Mancy - the US is meritocratic? I'm in shock, I would think the UK is more that way but is certainly not enough so. Too many points!
