RE: Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

I Am from Folkestone but live in Dublin at the moment and I heard friday morning about what had happened - and have been searching ever since in the internet to try and find out who it was - in case I know him - and you`rs is the only mention.I think...

RE: New not-comedy on BBC4

Damn, I was looking forward to that program too but I'm out tonight. I hope it's on that there On Demand thingy through my magic Virgin telebroadcaster.

RE: YOU could learn to fix it yourself!

Ha, great stuff :)Just after my rant I remembered I fixed some portable speakers the other day by removing the 3.5mm plug (which had a worn connection) and soldering on the plug from some headphones that had stopped working. Maybe I should make a clo...

RE: Ever feel lacking in skills?

That's crazy talk, and quite an arrogant viewpoint for Wired - screw building a clock out of voltmeters. I've got a degree in electronics but there is no way I'd open up your iPaq to see why it wasn't working. Gadgets are sold as black boxes, and are...

They properly out did you

Now, if my GCSE Double Award Science serves me right, Richter's very handy scale is logarithmic. Which means that the quake in Lincolnshire was TEN TIMES the magnitude of the one you had. Just think how much bigger those cracks could have been....

RE: MJ Hibbett at Edinburgh Fringe

Excellent, I shall make him top of my list of shows to go and see this year. I wonder where he's going to be....

RE: I haven't bought either

I know, but they aren't the ubiquitous force that Sony are.I'd def go and see MJ at the Fringe, although I really didn't like that video he did for FAWM. He's only doing 1 gig in Aug and that's not up here...http://www.mjhibbett.net/gigs/gigs.htm...

RE: Farewell then HDDVD

It's a shame, I'd rather have a smaller, independant company running the show than the likes of Sony. I haven't bought either, but it looks like I'll be getting a PS3 instead of a Wii...

That would be an ecumenical matter...

RE: the text entry box is just something I was trying out at work

I've been in Ed for 10 years now, I doubt I'll move anytime soon.You can't keep adding features without a redesign, that's just crazy talk ;) A few news buttons, maybe a CSS overhaul, a cheeky bit of layout and BAM, you've got a fresh new look. You k...

RE: Who says the housing market is dead?

Are you moving again? It seems like only yesterday that you left your deborturous London ways behind you and headed to leafy Folkstone. Are you looking to get a bigger pad to accommodate little Paulies?Like the new text entry box, very cool indeed. A...

RE: Classic Daily HateMail

I always wondered about that Sue Lawley. She looks like a Muslim sensitive, anti-American, anti-countryside, ethnic minority homosexual who clearly deliberately promotes multiculturalism. I'm glad they've finally held a meeting about her.

RE: Minas Tirith out of sweets

Someone should buy those kids an XBox.
