I was also talking to someone today who agrees that this is a logistical problem that is easily solved through dencentralisation of popular attractions and services. Also, whilst people sort of rubbished my idea about cleaner cars in the future. One of the reasons the government is probably looking at different ways of getting tax out of our arse pockets is because when petrol becomes obsolete in vehicles (which one day it will - maybe not in 10 to 15 years but it will) the government will have to replace the billions lost through fuel taxes. Making the tax non-dependent on the type of fuel is the ideal way of doing this and blaming congestion (which I STILL BELIEVE IS EASILY RESOLVED) is ****-poor justification. Build a second thames crossing, build a heathrow sized airport in the north (with proper transport links). Introduce a car sharing lane (or lanes) on the M25 and make it (and most motorways) a simple toll road of a few quid a day. If anyone wants to offer me a think-tank job contact me via my website, I'm yours for six figures!!! Darling will lose his job over this without question (probably some time away) because the motivation for this is clearly not to clear roads (IMO).

Has anyone ever listened to the weather forecasts........ "This was the hottest UK summer since 1873, or we've never had so much rain since 1912." - You've all heard it I know I have. The question is if it was that warm in 1873 or whenever surely they must have been at the height of global warming or some other ecological disaster *** OR *** (more likely) this is scientists scaremongering people and what is actually happening is CYCLIC - i.e. like ice ages, which are known to reoccur at reasonably regular and evenly distributed times (given the length of time the earth has been here they are fairly consistent).

I live near Grimsby (Louth) and we got a petrol mower from B and Q for about £75 - it's ran for over a year, never needed oil and it's good on petrol (compared to my last one), collection bin holds plenty and the thing has got some power (When I remember to cut my mums lawn it's often a foot high!!). At £75 it's a cracking buy. All the engines in the sub £200 range all look the same on petrol mowers and I doubt there is a great deal of difference in quality between them!

Hmm... I think the responses suggest obtaining a bit of everything and giving it a go - but thats carp fishing!!

Bread or pellets on the top...some lakes the fish go crazy for little 6 to 10mm trout pellets and they are about the cheapest bait you can buy!!

Perhaps we worry about the inevitable too much....Anyway if NASA are to be believed we are all going to be killed by a bloody great asteroird long before the UK develops a saharan climate!! Incentives for home working (i.e. tax breaks for employers) would probably help alleviate it a lot - since a great deal of inner city commuters can probably do their job remotely anyway (this is a matter of trust, but one which I think employers will be forced to look into anyway). House builders should be more responsible but within reason - I Read an article last week about new plumbing regs - telling us we must have thermostatic bath taps that limit the temperature of the water. If you are too bloody stupid to know how to use a cold tap then you shouldn't be allowed to bath on your own anyway (without armbands)!!

Locks during/shortly after the POST itself - usually memory or knackered hard disk. Are you getting any odd clicks or pings at the locking point (indicative of serious hard drive failiure). If you can sub out the memory for a friends for an hour that could well be the culprit.

Thats a pretty big if these days....virtually everyone has a digital camera, web pages (although they usually print well in mono), emails etc.... The disposable laser printers these days (Samsung, Brother sub £60 printers) are not that bad a buy, and very reliable (6000 sheets for about £15 of toner cannot be bad). However cheap colour lasers are expensive to run (usually £70 plus per cartridge and you need four cartridges in most of them - the colours are put in separately). Cheap colour lasers usually don't give amazing output either....Watch out with lasers for drum/imaging kit costs and the like - they can cost upto half the price of the printer in many cases!

Decorating the nursery..... ...It's not getting two coats!! I'll be out on the 18th, probably Piking!

Harrison will never be a classy fighter - the BBC don't even prime-time him - why - because he's a big single punch fighter that when he eventually gets a decent opponent (and a good whack on the chin) will go down like the worlds biggest sack of spuds. I don't doubt he'll be a world champion someday, but it will be for the easiest of the 6 or 7 recognised titles out there.... But even boxing will struggle to reach it's glory days. Look at the SKY fights. How many are the older style brawls where a guy could go down three, five or more times over upto 15 rounds.... I've grown up around boxing (dads a coach, judge, and referee). Better coverage of the amateur sport, which is very entertaining (Although very different from pro-boxing) is also needed!

In response to Chesters1. I agree in that we don't really have enough historical data to know if what is happening at the moment is not a cyclic thing (even though this may happen over many thousands of years) or an actual problem.

Before anyone mentions you can fly from outside London the subsidies often make this less cost-effective than travelling to heathrow and paying £40 a week for parking - even for a couple!

Cars now burn much cleaner than they did in the 70's and the environmental pressure to make them this way has probably only been around 15 years or so. We will get cleaner cars, my timescales might be slightly off, but they'll be twice as clean if not more so in 15 years - Car manufacturers are already under immense pressure to do this for numerous reasons (including the rules on company cars being taxed on emissions). Technology evolves at an exponential rate (look at computer processing speeds and how they have risen so quickly over the last two or three years). Fuel companies will not be able to hold back the technology of new generation engines (like they do at present) for that much longer.... My point about pollution was if the cars pollute less (and people seem to agree that there will not be that many MORE cars in 10 years than we have today) why not build more roads to cope?? Also though my main point that everyone missed is that London is congested because everything is put there! Better planning regulations for businesses/attractions/airports would mean that people all over the UK would have reasonably local access to such facilities without having to sit in the M25 for three hours just to go on holiday!!!!

Spam or Corn Maybe trout pellets (banded or haired) will also work...

What?? Guessing you mean how to fish for carp with surface baits and what rig to use. Bubble float and a floating bait (dog biscuits, floaty pellets, bread flake etc). Not really a complicated rig - bog standard hair rig, probably 30 to 50cm up from the swivel a bubble float. Add water to the bubble float to increase weight/casting distance. You need to keep an eye on your bait!!

2lb 6oz Though the point of this thread is slightly questionable since we'll never know the answer!! Unless it's a cunning plan by the original poster...

See the signature. Specials on Fly / Carp gear!

It's also proper to indent your code, but most of us never do that either In reality most of us tend to indent our PHP when we hit a bug and cannot fathom out our loops/conditional blocks!!!

I work with PHP and HTML everyday and there is no problem mixing them up, in fact it works that way by design (otherwise PHP files would only contain PHP and would not parse with HTML in them). It's tidier to break them apart where possible. It's easier not to from a coding point of view. I am all for PHP questions - in my opinion an amazing server-side language that is highly under-rated by many Windows (ASP) programmers.

Sounds like firewall. If XP check it's built in firewall. Temporarily (only temporarily) try disabling ZoneAlarm or TPF if installed and retry Messenger. If it works reconfigure your firewall accordingly. If you use an ADSL router check this aswell - many block non standard TCP/IP ports.

50/50 on these working in my experience (as an IT Manager). Go for a new printer - eBuyer to a cracking Canon i series printer: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...oduct_uid=88162 Bargain for under £30. The cartridges are about a quid or two a piece from www.choicestationary.co.uk AND the head is replaceable if it clogs at less than 20 notes. Considering you get a new printer and set of cartridges for £30 which will probably be at least as good as most Epsons it is by far the easiest solution.

Sorry redirected meant directed on the third p'graph.

Hmmm.....Spielberg a busy man when you look at his filmography http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000229/ Big difference between directing and producing - Note when you see a trailer 'A spielberg film' doesn't always mean directed by! A couple of well redirected films in there (Jaws, Schindlers List etc) but in terms of producing he's no better than Bruckheimer - who really has worked on some of the classics (including beverly hills cop). http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000988/

ITV, going back to the ridiculous Kahn fight, I think are looking for a big Saturday Night puller which is where they admit they are struggling against the BBC for terrestrial and SKY (who have picked up good NEW Saturday Movies every week this year). Remember Mcguigan, Benn, Eubank - presented by Jim Rosenthal in the late 80s and early 90's. A sure fire way to pull in 15 million viewers. Big advertising and sponsorship, relatively cheap to stage (compared to say a football match). ITV probably got worried with the Eubank/Watson fight was it - when boxing became unfashionable. It is a sport which appeals to most peoples primitive instincts.... Kahn is perhaps never going to be the pro they are looking for (he's no showman, and he's yet to prove real talent - pro boxing is very different to amateur boxing). Hatton - well, definitely - people will watch....

Surely the problem of congestion is not infinite so why do the media treat it like it is? Seems fairly logicial that whilst Britain has an increasing population how many additional drivers can that add to our existing pool each year (bearing in mind you lose some to age/death). There can only be a slight increase surely... The real problem perhaps is the centralisation of large commercial cities like London, Manchester and the like. It's the typical mentality of British governments to say - let's build a new football stadium - where - smack in the middle of bloody London. Olympics - London. National Museums and Theatres - London. Move it out of cities a little bit, and spread the wealth (jobs and the like) and congestion will naturally ease as the population become more distributed and people visit different areas of the country. Besides, within 10 to 15 years - the realistic planning time for a project like this - cars will burn virtually clean, and we will (more than likely) have newer generation vehicles running on LPG and cleaner fuels. If that's the case why are more roads a problem........ Public transport is a joke. Our trains are pathetic, unsafe, unclean and overcrowded. Go to France, a country of 'layabouts' as we stereotype them, and they have 200mph plus trains...... Solution - Let people like Branson buy up private land and build their own fully independent lines. It works, Europe have proved it all over...it will kill Railtrack and the numerous profit hungry train operators, but who really gives a toss??
