  1. Im quickly becoming converted!

    Standard IE6 vs Standard Firefox is a (narrow) winner for IE every time, if you ask me.

    But once you start playing with some of the add ons you get with Firefox, then IE just gets left behind.

    I might have to retract my vote for IE.

  2. Hence the mass exodus to this very site?

    They were the reasons my good self, Bicks, Paddy, Ahamaad, ED and Juju (and probably others who's names escape me) all scarpered.

    Admittedly, it was more to do with the, *ahem* older members of the moderating team, but it was there. It was bitched about for months and nothing was ever done.

    Praise be for Italy, thats all i can say.

  3. anyone can post a new rogues gallery - as I cannot find the old one!

    Also anyone wanting a beer in London on a Tuesday drop me a PM as I'm always in London on Tuesday nights :-(

    Where abouts in London Lancs?

    Oh, and rogues gallery people. You can see a grainy picture of me on the Audioscrobbler link in my sig.

  4. Got pissed with Bicks at a Black Rebel gig a couple of years ago.

    He bought me a pint (or three), and watched me lust after half the females in the room.

    As those were the O/S days, ill also say ive met Welsh Chris (for those who know him) several times at Villa Park. Ive sat next to Pilch at a game, and not realised it until i was on the forum the next day, and ive seen Anna and her sister too.

    But from VT, and away from Villa Park, its just one. Bicks.

  5. 7-8

    The hours do my nut in sometimes, but i enjoy the nature of the work, and the money and security are as good as i can hope for.

    And it might be a good idea to say what you actually do for a living in this thread.

    Me? Im a train driver.

  6. Ive voted "no" but that doesnt stop me loading up Newsnow every 5 mins of the day!

    I've still not been convinced enough to shell out for a season ticket, and have lost my regular slot.

    A quality 5-7m signing will push me into getting one tbh.

    That Crouch fella from Southampton is available at £7m.

  7. On mine?

    Well, music stands at about 55gb

    TV shows downloaded from UKnova is about 30gb

    Games, probably another 40gb (Steam/Half Life 2 is 8gb on its own!)

    Dunno what the rest is full of, but its getting full!

    you can get a decent quality 200gb hard drive for about £60 these days, which is very cheap inst it?

  8. Striking a disgusting, especially in public sectors, where the general public have to suffer!! If you don't like your job, find another one like the rest of the country do!

    Well, yes and no.

    The "general public have to suffer" thing is also a line that the managment will use to attempt to emotionally blackmail staff.

    Ive only ever been involved in one strike ballot (and i voted against the strike) which incidently, never happened. And that excuse was used against us. People should have the right to demand improved terms and conditions. People should have the right to withdraw labour. If that wasnt the case, a lot of us would still be working in victorian style sweatshops. Maybe services had to suffer to get us out of these sweatshops.

    Its about balance. If you have serious concerns about the way your job is going, then you should have the right to do something about it. We shouldnt be like the French though, who seem to go on strike if they dont like the colour of the new carpet in the office!

  9. Ok, the BBC have been on strike today. Some 11,000 of their staff are taking action it seems.

    Now im not sure what unions are involved , but i think its more than one.

    Anyway, they have had a picket line outside of BBC buildings throughout Britain, and the actions of two of the most high profile employees were very different.

    Chris Moyles crossed the picket line.

    Jeremey Paxman refused to.
