George Pilkington (developer of the first commercially avaliable full face skydiving helmet, and Timeouts) came up with a great idea..... Its called a 'Deal With It!' card. Basically you keep this wee card in your jump suit, wallet wherever, and when the poodoo hits the air conditioning you whip it out, clench it between your teeth to prevent whining, and 'Deal with it'. Seems to work too.... No point complaining cos no-one listens anyway.... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Nacmac, I'll buy you a beer, but you'll have to come to FL. Dayumm, I wish I had known that last Cinqo de Mayo, I was over in Pahokee visiting with the Carbonezones, You have no idea the lengths to which I will go for a free beer with a fair maiden... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

>Ok, Erno, STOP fucking with my sun for goodness sake. Ah but this is the really clever bit, we ain't fucking with the sun, we are just fucking with the Earth.

Morning Lisa, we are going to tilt the Earth so that we can get better weather. Unfortunately this probably means that a lot of the southern states of the US will be flooded as the sea sloshes around a bit.

(There are lots of other things the greenies can do and see that you can't!) Och I know, its a good way to suss the mischief, such as invisible text, ISP details, etc etc etc. Its not just Segador who sees everything Which is why I thought it would be an easy thing to implement... I'm not talking about correkting speling erors here, I'm more hacked off by people who say something, then a couple of minutes later change the whole meaning of their post, rendering subsequent replies usless... Or maybe I'm making a big thing out of nothing.

Yup, the great big hulk, a waste of tax payers money and time.... Oooh the SS Great Britain, ah right I'm with you now... hehehe.... >>Nacmac steps up to defend Remi from outraged royalists

"But I was happily surprised to see Brunnel make the short list.... (Nacmac, I'm dissapointed you didnt inlcude him in your list.. what kind of enganir are you) " hey Rem, I figured the world would not really know who the funny looking guy with the big hat was...They might confuse him with Aggiedave! My personal favourite is of course IKB, but look what they did to his finest creation...The SS Great Britain...a glorified coal bunker in the Falklands.. Oh, and with you on the Di thing, but as a post modern socialist, I don't really hold with concepts like the monarchy anyway. And I am particularly unhappy with all their hangers on. The French revolution should have crossed the channel!. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Right Erno, the new Equator has been evaluated and is currently undergoing engineering approval for a feasibility study..... Most of Europe will be equatorial, with the equator roughly following the line of the red sea/suez canal, the south africans and the Aussies will find themsleves living in the tropics, unfortunately California will become cold, but they are asleep right now and won't notice till too late. The new north pole will be somewhere between the Marianas trench and Hawaii in the pacific. Sorry Hawaii, but you've had it good for too long. I imagine a new land of ice and fire here.... The new new south pole will be somewhere around Tristan Dan Cunha in the Atlantic. No loss there then. The new international time meridian will go through Finland, and we will set our clocks to Hämeenlinna mean time. Whilst conducting the required modifications to the Earth's tilt, we are also proposing a new metric week, which will provide 5 day weekends. All in favour say Yahoo.... Now then where did I put my 'bloody big lever'.... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Something that annoys me sometimes. People post, others reply, then whilst compiling their replies, or shortly afterwards, the original post is edited so that it does not resemble its first form. This either confuses people reading subsequent posts or renders replies meangless Is it possible to keep the changed text, eg if it were 'scored out' or something similar? I think you green people can see edited text, so you guys know what I am on about. This may force people to read their own posts and be more careful with what they say....

Most of Europe and Africa are here, the Ausies are about to go to the pub..... If you post on the 'Non American'thread, somebody will talk to you....

""nice coffee" and other stuff ..." Sometimes I haven't got a clue what you southerners are on about. For much of last year I was based in Germany, but flew in and out through Schiphol every fortnight, occasionally I would miss the train to Germany, and spend longer than planned in Amsterdam... Also where we were working was about 6 k from the Dutch border....A night out in Holland was a very popular distraction for the crew of folk I was working with... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"having a very emotional spandau ballet moment right now" Switch off the stereo and step away from the remote control. You are suffering from "eighties music syndrome", there is a cure, but it involves long periods of counselling and 'bad taste aversion therapy'. This involves playing Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, teardrop explodes, Boy George and other techno pop poop, while administering electric shocks, and undergoing nausea inducing injections.... With the support of your friends and family, you might pull through.... Meanwhile, find some guitar music, and stem off remission by playing it loud. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Premiere 5 was as buggy as a bunk room mattress, It was superceded by 6.0 fairly quickly. Premiere 6 also brought with it support for OHCI, which enables just about any firewire card to be used with Premiere without speciliased codecs. Swapping codecs mid project is a very bad idea, you will get comprssion loss. I always run backups to minidv, they are cheaper than HD space and DVDr..... If you are having problem with Premiere etc go to www.computervideo.net, and I'm sure the self help boards there will prove useful.

Okay world, the BBC are running this list of the 100 'Greatest Brits of all time" type thing over here on our misty Island....
