My deepest condolences to all his family and friends.

Hear hear! Both India an China have enough of their own money. They simply don't appear to want to distribute it fairly. I really resent paying a major part of my pay packet in taxes, and then VAT and duty, when this is forced on us. It's bad enough how government squanders our taxes here, let alone giving it away to countries that don't need it! Pssssst :

The link for this now doesn't work. Does anyone have another working link please.

Thanks Chris. However I have such a best too!

In August this year in South Cornwall they were reasonably sized! At least they were near Mevagissey.

Try freelined slugs. The chub go mad for them and they pick up the odd decent perch too. I don't think eels will bother much with them, although I am not sure.

I use a Beretta Auto (not one of those) with an ISIS recoil damper system fitted. Very smooth indeed and cheaper overall!

It didn't cost me anything when I used it!?!

I managed to gt the admin password for my PC using a free password cracker service. It took several days but got it right. Its on a floppy disc. When I find it I'll let you know what it is called. Found it - try www.loginrecovery.com

Final Update - in case you're interested - Creative Soundcard and all software completely re-installed and working awesomely. I've never heard it so good and I only use 2.1 Sound!

Me again - I may have cured the freezing part of the problem hopefully. A little while back I enabled ASUS Cool 'n Quiet on my mobo in a bid to save a few pence. However I run my system slightly overclocked, and I'm not sure how reliable the drivers for this variable CPU power thingy are. Anyway I've turned it off and music seems OK now, touch wood!!! I'll try a youtube video in a minute! Update - youtube worked while simultaneously playing an MP3. Hooray.

Things get worse! I removed my sound card and enabled my on board sound instead in the BIOS. I had to install the drivers from the mobo CD, but then when I start up, the PC locks as soon as the first windows sound plays with that very familiar dagadagadagadagadagadagadagadagadaga, albeit with a different tone! And if I disable the on board sound and start up without any sound devices, a youtube video still freezes my PC after varying time intervals. Update - I got the on board sound improved now so that it plays stuff a bit. However it still locks the PC when playing something, eg an MP3. I am fast thinking that a fresh install of windows is the way forward now! I've got two hard drives in my PC in a raid 1 array, so I might borrow one of those for a while!

It's a Creative Audigy 2 ZS. I took it out in August after my PSU failure, so maybe it's not seated properly or damaged. Thing is I still get sound, apart from when i get a freeze.

Thanks indeed. I tried updating my sound card drivers earlier today, but I could not because there is some kind of issue with the card or it's configuration and is not being detected properly. I have now sent a question with the error messages to Creative and am waiting the response.

My problem is not because youtube is slow though!. I just tried removing Service pack 3, but this made no difference!

Lately when I play youtube videos my PC invariably freezes. The fault is not consistent, but about 75% of youtube videos I play lock the PC some time during playback and I have to use the reset button to reboot. The mouse and keyboard freeze, and usually the sound goes into a continuous and very quick dagadagadagadagadagadagadagadagadagadaga. I spend about 2 hours the afternoon searching the web and trying different things, but none worked : I cleaned up my registry with TuneUp utilities I disabled all my audio codec's I uninstalled the whole K-Lite codec pack I uninstalled Nero I uninstalled some other odds and sods I didn't like the look of I updated DirectX I tried a thing called Sherlock the codec detective I uninstalled Adobe flash and then reinstalled it There are no error messages in any of my Event logs. Does anyone know what may be wrong and how to fix it please? Incidentally how does youtube work? Is Adobe flash player the only way to play youtube videos without capturing them and then playing them using an flv player?

Elton!! I had found it after your first post in this thread. What I meant was that I had searched for it without success before I raised this thread!

Well I searched AN forums with 'Robson Green' and 'Extreme Fishing', but it gave no results?

As someone commented it appears to be an edited photo!

After using all sorts of cobbled together stuff for ages, I eventually bought DVDFab Platinum for DVDs. It's great, but I still use Nero for audio stuff.

Quite possibly, but the key point is that hotel's alleged policy could just have been a self protection policy, as suggested by Elton, and nothing to do with any political feelings. I should add that unless the said hotel had a history of many problems from military personnel, then it is still a poor excuse.

I agree with Elton. We have no way of knowing whether there was more to it than was reported. We all now how accurate a newspaper story is. I'm not saying this guy was a trouble maker, but I have been at both the giving and the receiving end of military high junks and so know what can go on.

Looking good. If they were mine I'd sharpen them a little though. Did you say it was a Sigma 18 - 200 lens?

It might be, but my friends are not going to find Open Office easy to use (esp the spreadsheet) and they have paid the full whack for Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003.
