Re: A Toast to SE! My 1000th post!

I am now raising my glass in the sun to toast SE, past and future! :cheers Paul G Glad your having a great holiday and...

Re: Not a good week.

They did do one thing wrong because they will not take dad's advice, which was to turn around and leg before they took any chances. Their Scottish accents probably did not help either. tut Got to agree with your advice Tut. The first steps in self defence, bloody great ones in the opposite directio...

Re: How much is this MAC worth

Hi Shug The Mac Mini is running 10.5.8 so will run the latest iTunes. However it is a PowerPC so obviously it will not run many more modern software since the introduction of Intel Chips by Apple. Countless times in my Microsoft Windows experience I had to upgrade my operating system to get the late...

Re: Virgin TiVo - views/opinions/experiences

I'll go against the grain and NOT recommend a Humax. Side-by-side with iPlayer app on the PS3 there's just no comparison; PS3 is lovely, Humax is very poor. AT quite a loss to understand the above feedback as I find the picture Quality on my HUmax outstanding, especially in HD. I find Recordings ar...

Re: Navigating ferry ramps with an Elise?

In the picture above of the queue for the hydrofoil or ferry, I wonder why the flags are at half mast. http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac161/Skyenet007/UKGSercom/file-404.jpg I am certain it was because it was one year on from 9/11 There were widespread remembrance services around the World.

Re: Navigating ferry ramps with an Elise?

I remember Iain (Skyenet) having his on the IoM and don't recall any difficulties. IIRC, we took the hydrofoil (?) from Liverpool on the way out and then returned on the conventional ferry to Heysham. Yes we took the same route and no problems. Well not on the ferries but did catch the front number...

What number did you use to contact them? Cheers! I'd give it a another week as mine was dated the 9th December and is still s...
