its the only way to send fax from your comp, with a 56 modem and the software, which has the fax printer to convert your document while opening the programme at the same time to send via a fax.
I would look around at the modem, the best to buy is a 56 modem that has supervoice programme for the fax, it also comes with answer machine and storage of messages, very good, have used that for a few years, but now have a fax phone.
like someone said, you can them for a tenner, most comp shops do them

England as a team have started as bad as we know and have come to expect with a new manager, yet we have the best players in the world at our finger tips.
Im just curious to know what would be your starting 11.
just to start it off as i have not picked my team yet, but i would stillhave becham in there as captain, for what he brings to the team , through his ability, leadership, and how the younger players look up to him.

Well in my opinion, we have an unbalanced team. a year ago, we have the best team in the world, but the worst manager.
and as every new manager has to do, is make changes, to show authority and gain respect, but through that results has to come. and they are not.
my opinon is that he has left the best player and motivator of the team out, which is becham, we have lost many games through players loosing their cool at crutial points.
I wonder what team we would all pick if we were the manager of england, and how it would match up.

It's a funny one this, i use 16lb diawa infinity mainline and 12lb Fox softsteel or 12lb fluorocarbon as a hooklength. I always try to use a lighter breaking strain for my hooklength even though this isn't the norm these days. Most people using 20lb+ braided hook lengths.
I've never figured out why people use heavy hooklengths, i've always felt it was safer for the fish to use a lighter one.
Paul.
Im with you on this one paul, i started carp fishing and was advised as you said. i use at least a 2lb lesser hook length than my main.
and i hope if i do have a snap off, that it will go at the hook knot.

Looks like its pure accident that the bait with the hook ends up in the fishes mouth they don't seem interested in the baited hook at all
But if every carp was interested in the hook bait, then we would get bored catching them...the lure of the carp, is that we always think about them, how we can improve our chances, and how we can fish baits that look like there natural food, the same goes for any fish.
thats the sport, the challenge we all love and gets us hooked as they say.

Must say, that one shocked me. I know these communications companies are all looking to get into the broadband market, but I would never have had AOL down as a company that sells parts of itself. I had AOL down as a buyer!
aol had been left behind, the main reason, selling there dial up connections, and your time on the net was unlimited, with a 7 hour cut off and reconnect policy, against many others who at the time has 2 hours.
There own member stuff, chat rooms and the likes, to many people got settled in what they new and trusted. while other companies moved forward with broadband, at the same price as their dial up connection package was.

I have lived both north and south, and i think the state is true, because of the life styles, caused by what is called the north south devide.
I know this will cause alot of disagreement, but it comes down the the private house owner and the council house owner.
The further north you go, there is more council properties than lets say in London. i come from the north east and the place i lived was approx half council and half private. the further south you go the less council and more privately owned or privately rented accomadation.
this leads onto the argument of unemployment, one parent families, the will to work against what the state will provide to a family with children. or a one parent family with children.
Housing benefit, council tax benefit, unemployment benefit, and benefit for the children, which will average a income over i estimate these days of over 300 a week. thus the insentive to go out to work, is not worth it, so bordem then creeps in and then the bad habbits creep in, drinking, smoking, takeaways.
The further south you go, people want to work for a future, one because most have to buy there house, or privately rent accomadation, which in most cases wont take DSS as they call it. so most work, thus less boredom, have a better self esteem as their career is important. thus paying higher rents and mortages and thus a better stanadard of living.
This not to say that any one is wrong, whether north or south, its the state we live in.

How do you get paint off a leather?
I have to go to a party on Saturday, and will wear a biker jacket I used to wear when I was about half my age! Trouble is it has been painted on the back and sleeves, I think with oil paint, and it is an absolute pain in the bum to get off.
I have tried some of my wife's nail polish remover, much to her delight, which worked better than turps.
Do any of you know of anything that I can use that gets paint off quickly, and that won't ruin the leather?
Thanks,
Simon
Hi simon, i was a dry cleaning shop manager, and cleaned many leathers, but some with paint on them. and many other run of the mill stains.
Unfortunatley, i dont know whether you will find a cleaner that could do it in time, or gurantee to remove it.
Rubbing alsorts of chemicals into the leather will either ruin the leather itself, or leave you with colour fading spots.
My advice, to be totaly honest, is go for a new one, the cost of cleaning will start you at a min of £35.00 and the maybe more to replace a panel that has paint on it.
so maybe it might be as well to keep your leather intact and in the condition its in and the memories you have attached to it and purchase a new or second hand one.
I have seen many leathers where people have had a go as they say, and totaly destroyed them with just a little over the counter chemical. or mirriacle remover.

I posted a topic on why my local police station closed at 5pm, and why cctv was always trainned on bus lanes during the day time.
There was an incident at 5pm tonight, not far from where i live, a gang had started a fight with another gang at a local bus station, 2 people were knifed
i wonder where those cameras where facing while everyone at that time was on there way home from work, and this happened.

I agree with phil on this one. I have dealt with a lot of mentally ill people in my time, I was at a job a few years back where a guy with a history of mental illness was in his house, begging to be taken into hospital so he could get treatment, he feared he was going to harm his wife and kids. As normal, our local facilities were full and refused to accept him. The poor guy was begging us, when we said there was nothing we could do he began threatening us with a Knife and eventually we had to act and arrest him. which was avery violent and messy affair.
This all boils down to the policy of "care in the community" where seriously ill people in need of the care of an institution are dumped with very little support and told to get on with it. I feel very sorry for them and their families and the community they live in.
I agree with what long trotter said about the care, forget the community for a minute, the police hands are tied in these situations.
Im going to throw a spanner in the works here., these people could be dealt with, the money is there, but most of it is taken up by people on incapacity benefit, who could work, but get paid, care allownace, they get a car, there rent paid, there council tax paid, but deep down alot of them could work, and to be honest, we all know someone who is probably conning the system.
i agree there are many, many people who cant work, and need the help and support they get. but a quarter of them i bet could work. and there money could help those who are in a real need who long trotter mentioned.

It's worth taking a look at www.bivvies.co.uk to get an idea of the style of bivvy you like. Then, I'm sure you'll get plenty of first hand reviews of what's good and what's not.
Nic
Thanks nic, will have a look now.

The truth is Sean, the EA are not listening and are burying the truth, read my thread regarding an interview by the Angling Times with Dafydd Evans the EA's head of fisheries.
Im just sad, because the canal i fish, i had 3 bream over 3lb sunday morning, i unhooked them carefull, held it in the water until it was ready to swim off, got its photo. but i know the guy next to me would have taken and bagged that.
i want to catch the same fish next year when it has grown a little, kiss it on the lips, and say "see you next year"
I come from the northeast, and moved to the london area a year ago, there is none of this up there, its not heard of.

PAC FURY OVER NUDD'S CALL FOR PIKE CULL
in Conservation & Politics
Posted
Just read through all the posts, im a fairly novice fisherman, who has fished for 30 years, had a 3 year break, and started again, and taking it more seruously with all the new stuff out there.
First of all, do we really have the right to decide what we kill, because something spoils our enjoyment, i could understand killing or culling something, because you and your children have no food on the table.
Also, we are anglers, and are commited to the care and welfare of our waters, and the fish they contain. Just another point if carp were eating all the food during bad times and other small silvers where dieing, would the same people cull them.
But the sad thing to come out of all this, and what seems to be happening over the last year or two that i have noticed, is that anglers are no longer united. but we have a devide or split, which ever you want to call it, between match anglers and the predator fisherman. as they are called these days.....but are we all not still anglers?
Well, i say, if matchmen, care for there fish during the year, the EA gets to grips with the fish taking, we look after all fish, and make sure to the best of our ability, every fish is returned, in good condition and alive to all waters, then the match fisherman would have a great summer, and the predator fisherman would have a great winter, because there would be no problem with stock levels and whats eating what.
Just my opinion
