Well, i voted the Guardian. I guess its aimed at my agegroup, and my politics. The journalists who write for it can actually string a sentence together, and the editor deems that running a two page spread about what Wayne Rooney's missus has bought at the shops this week is not good copy. I concur. The sport section is better than in any tabloid, and i see that The Fiver is becoming a VT fave (bookmark the online football section now. Go to the knowledge and bore the shit out of everybody with some of the best football trivia out there. (but it has to be said, it still cant compete with The Times game pullout on a monday morning) and the Friday review is one of my favourite things. Its like the NME for twentysomethings, i guess. Oh, and its funny. You gotta have funny havent you? My only qualm is that they STILL havent made a compact version. And until they do, i still find myself buying the (inferior) Independent from time to time.

Apparently, The METRO (freebie newspaper found at train, tube and bus stations) is the most read paper in the UK, by quite some distance. Ill bet a lot of people on here read it, but is it actually anybodys favourite paper? So, what is your favourite daily paper, and why. (and no, i cant be arsed to list the Sunday papers)

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.

meh. Everyone should **** their current browser off, and install the mighty EMINEM BROWSER Its what the internet was made for!

i still think IE is faster. it certainly is on my PC. These firexox plugins seem interesting though. How do you install them?

IE6. I have Firefox and Opera installed on my PC too, but i never really feel the need to use them. I think IE7 is due out within the next month or so.

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.

Yeah, but the biggest "them and us" divide between mods and everybody else exists on the O/S Denjo.

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.

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.

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.

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

Always were? Like ****. They were one of the best bands on gods earth between 94-96.

whoever voted for the Stones is both wrong, and a word removed.

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?

my 200gb hard drive is getting very full, so i am thinking of doubling my capacity soon. Wondered what the average on here was...

I do that one every close season on there. This is the 3rd year in a row!

And one i start every year on the official boreds:

Sorry, i thought it was ten years ago for a second!

I dont know. Nazi's killed six million people. Commies beleive in an idea that works in theory but not in practace. Id say Nazi's are more evil.

in light of the picket line thread..

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!

The Playstation 3 is quite new, apparently...

Assuming it is, like todays was.
