The complete series of Adam & Joe Show
Sexy Beast Special Edition

RE: Championship: Who`s your team and how do you think they will do?

Leeds
I think with the squad we have a very strong chance of making the Play Offs again. For me, following the farce of a game in May at The Millennium Stadium I would much favour automatic promotion. This is still a possibility but I think the club needs to sign a few more players and dare I say it... replace the manager. I think a new gaffer could be on the cards, Ken Bates isn`t going to let his investment go down the toilet.

RE: Comic Jim Davidson declared bankrupt

Never liked the man. Someone I know went on Big Break, said he was rude & obnoxious to evryone off the camera - tosser.

RE: Paul Robinson Says "England are going to win the World Cup"

The funny thing is that Paul Robinson (the player) used to play for Leeds United, his namesake in Neighbours is a good lookalike for Leeds United`s current keeper Neil Sullivan

Music played when teams walk out

You know the music they play at every game when the players walk out, it`s a famous piece (I think!) - anybody know what it is?

RE: Really just lost for words at the moment

I too saw a shameful event last night, two England "fans" who had obviously been drinking heavily since last time were staggering down the street into town, smashing up cans of beer everywhere. They met another group of intoxicated people and then proceded to hurl abuse at each other and were on the verge of fighting. Shouts of "Go back to your f**cking country" were displeasing.

Hopefully the England fans abroad are being far better behaved. These small minority of moron supporters give everyone else a bad name

RE: New Poll: - best dead animal to use as a weapon in a no-win situation ?

Depends upon the situation really. If I was ontop of a house and some madman was coming up to get me, an elephant would be great to chuck down on him.

In a one on one situation a swordfish

Coca Cola TV Ad - Canon In D Minor/Major

Bit of a long shot this as it`s probably made specificlaly for the TV ad, but does anybody know if the modern, fast paced version of Canon In D Minor used in the Coca Cola TV ad is available to buy (or even download on Napster)?

RE: POLL: What Channel Will You Watch The Final On?

If it`s on Sky I`ll watch it on that, John Motson is awful.

If pub have BBC1 on though it`ll have to be that though

RE: Safety of data in Windows

I have a similar setup. 2x 250Gig HDDs with a Raid Mirror. One 50gig paritition is used for the OS, the other 200Gig for data. Therefore if one drive fails I have a backup.

As an extra piece of security I have made a Ghost image of my OS parition (which is on the data parititon) so if the OS were to ever fail I can be up and running again quickly.

RE: LOST-The season 2 thread :)

/////AMG,I know what you mean :D

also isn`t it funny that...
SPOILER:
they have all this technology yet still use a ribbon printer?

RE: LOST-The season 2 thread :)

Thanks Robert. We`ll have to wait and see.. :)

Personally I don`t think even the writers know yet...

RE: LOST-The season 2 thread :)

Haven`t been spending much time in this thread so sorry to jump in,

I`m up to E21 and can anyone answer me somwthing which I have been wondering

SPOILER:

What`s happened to that Scottish guy in the first few episodes of Season 2?
Has he disappeared? Did he die and I forgot about it???

RE: The F.A Cup Final Thread (will include spoilers by end of match)

I`m going for 3-0 Liverpool

Van Nistleroy to signs for Newcastle United!

Here`s a picture of him in their kit...

RE: POLL: Should Spurs be granted a replay against West Ham?

No,

If they do though can Leeds replay the 1975 European Cup Final? The referee was bribed, let Munich win the game and was later sacked

Also can we re-play this season with Richard Cresswell and Steve Stone (2 of our best players who have been injured for most of the season). Had they not been out we could have finished 2nd and not had to endure the nail biting play offs.

RE: Leeds going to Cardiff

you could always become a member the same day as buying tickets. £30 for membership which includes a box full of tacky merchandise

Leeds going to Cardiff

Just beaten Preston 2-0. Going to Cardiff. Well done Leeds.

Now, I have to try and get tickets...

RE: Call this football???

Not that I want to accuse Celtic of losing on purpose but maybe they dont want their arch rivals Rangers in CL.... this does happen remember Pompey & Baggies last season, sending Southampton down

RE: World Cup - LIST OF RULES FOR WOMEN

15. Women. Don`t comment on grass/mud stains on players clothing. It doesn`t matter that the grass stain doesnt come out!

RE: Chelsea vs. Liverpool (spoiler)

Good result, well done Liverpool. According to José though the best team didn`t win.

Hope Leeds win the play offs and can go to Stamford Bridge and win! :D

RE: Ebuyer ... Use them at your peril

Well I ordered a £10 pack of DVD-Rs from ebuyer alomgwith some other items.

DVD-Rs didnt turn up and it took over a month, around 10 e-mails, threats of Trading Standards and filling in forms to get my money back. Poor customer service from ebuyer indeed

Any places I can safely order a R1 boxset and noit get stung by customs?

It`s been a while since I have ordered any boxsets from the US. My main suppliers used to be PlayUSA & MovieTyme but now these cannot guarantee you won`t be hit by customs and if you are won`t refund your taxes. I also used to find CD-WOW good but they don`t have my item in stock.

I`m after South Park Season 6 & 7 - both £24.99 each on Play & MT

Anyone know where I can shop safely?

Thanks

RE: Wireless Networks - connected to wrong one

I agree Mike, I always thought it was bandwidth theft.

Mind you if we are wrong I would like to know ;)

RE: Wireless Networks - connected to wrong one

Depends on what your girlfriend has installed, but I doubt it.

Windows XP has security settings in place so the user has to specifically state what they would like to share with other users on the network - files, printers, etc

I doubt she has any remote access software installed either so they won`t have been spying....

She has probably left a MAC address (something which identifies the laptop) in the access points records but don`t worry about that. I`m sure nothing will come about unless she did anything illegal or used tons and tons of bandwidth

RE: Blocking specific domains using htaccess

that`s a great idea! that`ll team them to steal my bandwidth

RE: Blocking specific domains using htaccess

Done that before, a while ago a Sheffield United website hotlinked to one of my images. I changed the image they were stealing to "LEEDS UNITED - THE PRIDE OF YORKSHIRE" - it was on thier main page for some time :D
