Ain't it AMAZING what keeps us happy eh??

I'll certainly try that one my very good friend!! Just a bit more!! I tried the backdoor pass "phoenix" no joy!! And no floppy, BUT I just actually saw one on ebay for 99p!! WHAT a wast of money even at that I thought.........

Dave, can I help you out?? Fancy swapping a DEAD Sony Laptop for a 15" LCD monitor?? It would 99% be an LG?? But up to you I could do with at least meeting you perhaps and this sounds like a good way?? You can always say B OFF. I have a thick skin!! Just my back is a bit sore!

BitTorrent (YOU are now fully enlightened young person!!) )

Got myself a new laptop and getting this message?? PXE-E61: Media test failure, Check cable. PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE-ROM Now I know it is the boot section of the HD. BUT tried two identical drives (Toshiba 40GB) and they BOTH do the same thing EXCEPT one keeps looping and trying to re-boot and the other sticks at the message!! Go to setup to establish the drive has been found and there is a password!! Cannot get around this as seller of laptop bought it as seen as well! So he doesn't know the pass. Tried the backdoor pass "phoenix" (That is the bios) and still no go. Anyone any more ideas without having to take it all apart and remove cmos battery please??

"You may at times be required to work longer than the specified 38 hour work week; however, this should not be too inconvenient as the position is expected to be temporary. "! LOL!!!

Thanks Andy! Found that site and sure enough it was on there and enough to know I don't HAVE to use U torrent!! Which I don't!! And only around a dozen lines while some of the ruddy so called guides run to 10 or more pages!!! So once again THANK YOU and that goes for ALL you who offered me some help! Chris

Hawk, THANK YOU!! you make me feel like I have NO worries at all?! :-) IF you are after anything, I may be able to get stuff delivered to an address in Kent (NOT sure where??) Mate of mine makes regular trips to and fro and stays somewhere in Kent!! Try PM'ing me though I see that if I do come on.

Got to say I'm with your good self on this one Snakey1!! Just because I was christened and married in a Church doesn't mean I believe all about GOD like I believe that fairies are at the bottom of the Garden!!

Dave!! IF you still have it I'll take it off you and have a young lad I know look at it if you want?? It will not cost either is the best thing!!

Thanks for ALL the replies Guys, I assure you I am on to it!! But at present Sciatica is ruling me as opposed to other way around!! And sorry Dave I only ever had one Intrepid reel mate and you had several already!! BUT I have my spies looking out at ALL the Depot Ventes etc. (Second hand shops and boot sales) Are GALLION any good to you???

.......I'm now 56. I owned my own tackle shop/stall for several years and have fished all over the world!! So yes I have quite a lot! BUT I am in France and while reels and small stuff is cheap(ISH) to post Rods are VERY expensive!! I CAN get them to the uK for Nothing. It's just getting them from the UK to you!! Anyway I will list stuff as I find t and then if you want it we will work out a way to get it to you?? I'll also take pictures and put up some URL's for them?? And ALL Purchases will add lets say 10% to Eltons empire as I always like to look after those who help me!! And I KNOW Net would only say "OH give it to Elton anyway!! I'll start by stuff I have found, BUT NO pictures as yet!! And postage at MY cost, I will NOT estimate the postage!! Packing is £1 on top. I will post to you and email the TOTAL cost and you put that in my UK account. NO exceptions sorry!! That way we ALL know it is genuine?? And anyone trying to fleece me WILL be made known to the rest of AI and WILL be taken to court. I don't say this because I am a ballbag, I say it because I mean it. you don't like that OR me then simples (As the furry thing on TV says!). Don't trade!! Okuma Polycast OPF30 2 spare deep/1 shallow ALI Spools! (Normally just two one plastic and t'other is ali) 4BB Gear ratio 5.0:1 Capacity LBS/YDS. 6/250 , 8/200 ,10/170 Work out the metric yourself!! (I am a BIG hammer engineer!!) Cost me too much!! I WAS selling them at £35 6 years ago so got to be £25?? Fireline Braid Rod, 50LB class, With all logos etc, NEVER used in anger!! Full roller and I think two piece?? Black Blank and to go with it an OKUMA lever drag reel LOADED with around £120 of braid!! Braid is 80LB and is about 5 years old but kept in cold and dark!! This will lift YOU and your kid as well! I bought it to fish the Annual Skate festival in Ireland. Never got there and so never used it!! And I am NOT about to now!! Altogether cost me £150 and for sale now at BEST and final offer over £100!! Reason for this is I have a VERY nice slipped disc at L4/L5 and I need an operation but will NOT be able to fish again I don't think after the operation. At least NOT at this level and have a LOT of DVD's to keep me happy. So that is why it will ALL go. Anyone got somethi9ng they want?? John Wilson Avon Quiver?? I have one! North Western hand built quiver rod I have one!! Shakespeare 11ft Flattie Basher rod?? I have one! Multipliers, Abu close faced, Daiwa close faced, Silstar, I have take it from me around a couple of thousand pounds of tackle at new prices. OH yes, the one thing I DO have in abundance is RUBBER LURES!!! From tiny Perch to pErkiing big Trout!! Well not too big!! and these are going cheap!! I spent several thousand pounds before coming o France and still have about a grands worth left!! They are from a UK supplier and will be a LOT cheaper than they can do! I also just thought/found my Lure chest the other day!! It is a Green Zebco one should have I think 50 in it and has some 80 or so In it, most are ABU. I also have some other LARGER Fladen ones to make around a hundred and LOTS of smaller top water Poppers etc!! ALL NEW NEVER BEEN USED in the main!! I also have a couple of jerk rods and multiplier reels, STIFFY holdall to put them in and altogether you would be looking at I would think Retail about £500?? Again best offer!! You MAy want pictures or a better break down?? Anyway all for now as I am going to be as busy as the Morphine will allow and the back as well! (It's OK taking morphine you know!! VERY good feeling, BUT they DO NOT tell you what LONG term damage they do (Eh Nursie!?) And I am talking like the ad on TV says about BLOOD in a certain part of your anatomy!!! Try imagine passing a baby through your BACK PASSAGE!! BUT without and slime!! Yes?? Think how DRY it would be and then say sorry for me!! Morphine??? PAAAA NOT what they say it is. Does Heroin do the same thing??? Weed never did!) Bye for now peeps!

Not being funny Jim but I already use BIT TORRENT and I'm Fine at downloading anything I need! I can make new DVD's with my own menu's and although I cannot yet make a CD from several sources I own, I.E. I suppose a complete compilation?? Like I have ALL the Mr Thomas learn French in twenty three years if you are a graduate from Oxbridge!! BUT I cannot get say 4 CD's worth onto one CD so I don't have to keep changing the discs! I now want to let OTHERS share my new found wealthy of new Hunting Shooting DVD's a lot of which to be truthful are NOT copyrighted either! OK a bit grainy and lots of outside noise but interesting watching say how someone ele4see skins and guts a Rabbit!! It would take me around 10 to 15 Minutes! Now?? Around 2/3!! JUST by watching someone else and I also have the worlds FUNNIEST Jack Russell dogs V's the Rat population of a Pig farm!! IT IS HILARIOUS!! And completely free of ANY copyright! Fishing free of! Allsorts! But HOW do I get them up to Piratebay from my discs??

My sentiment too!! ****! HIM of course and most assuredly not your good self!

Thanks Colin!! I too am NOT a fan of I tunes!! Well about as keen as we buy anycar.com!!! As I say downloading I have sussed. Burning them is still a bit hit and miss!!! Well I say that if I use ordinary DVD's all is ok and if I use ASDA RW dvd's again OK. BUT use any other make, like the SKY 10 for a quid I bought no joy????

I can download them and burn them now at least! (MANY thanks to all who helped!) BUT now I need the complete IDIOTS guide to HOW to upload the damn things!!! I am sending to Pirate bay and have registered. NOW what do I need?? I am using the site and goods at BIT Torrent to get my **** together. BUT too damn old to work out HOW to do it and don't trust the google to do it either!! Hope you can against once more and all that?

Even easier work around actually!! I have "Several" PC's and laptops and they all without the ONE exception use Win7 Ultimate 32bit or 64 bit. My Wifes uses XP professional because she use ON-Line games try out today and costs you now!! BIT if it also uses windows "THINGS" ALL Window 7 discs ARE I assure you legit!! I simply IGNORE any and all warnings!! All 32 bit are different number to 64 bit ones as well!! In fact some are corporate numbers!!!!! They all without exception become invalid!! I simply close down or ignore the pop up page/box!!! If I spend ALL that money a expect them to t least get THAT right!!

Both replies apply. BUT the main reason is watching ones ASS!!

Thanks to ALL of you from the bottom of my .....well BOTTOM??? It's a mixture if feeling sorry for myself and this PAIN in the arse which is the worst thing I reckon, but having you to say nice things (EVEN if you don't mean them 100%) it helps. and it was My idea to marry Andrea anyway! Love the bones of her really! Just thanks people!! PS ALL my tackle is willed to you anyway Elton!!

Cheeky bugger I always make sense?? My injuries are such that at present I an also got an herniated Disc and the big nerve ss THRIBBING again as it has been the last 6 momth!! Ihave bit of pain I very rare i ecan make it out of bed and that but I do haveto, look after Herself as well (Nice lADY IS ANDREA!!) I do from time to time have a look in and this is as much as I feel I can do for now. ALL I say lads and lasses is remember me and keep my number er one, because I WILL tis time next year be back (Doctors willeng!! But as I am now on upward of 210 Mg/s of Morphine at present Oxymorph? And Skenan and slo acting and I still have some from the uK i am just taking to much. BUTby May I'll willhave a new back and a NEW life I hope!!
