cheers snow. Luckily i managed to get Anne's old laptop working and did some googling of the error message. All the tech links listed all the hardware faults you have....testing, etc, etc So, i just googled "where is your CPU" and found a video. Worked out how to remove the heatsink first, and then the CPU chip, blew away some dust from both, put it all back together.......... and blow me down with a feather, it works! I was convinced it was electro-magnetic damage from the storm, but that was just coincidence. Im a bloody genius! Actually, the inside of your PC is quite simple once you get past it looking scary. It's just a bunch of plugs and sockets. Funny enough, i had another part go wrong last year and all the googling and tech people listed all sorts, and that was just dust as well. Hey Snow, how come you are the only tech expert on the net that ever mentions dust!!! Thanks for your help Whoops! Krusewalker on Danish login

The cost of the passport is the same for cats and dogs, as all the procedures are the same. For my lot it was around 150 pounds per animal, all included. That was in Denmark, but think the prices are in the same category over here.

Hi Pingu Does this fix the loading delay?

i cant answer that question, as the HGV's ive seen parked up in laybys have both doors shut. its not to let the illegal immigrants out, is it? POSTED BY KRUSEWALKER

Oops, the above post was from me

She looks sweet . I have actually met quite a few really lovely collie x staffie's in the boarding kennel where I work. You wouldn't think anything sane could come out of a cross like that, would you?

great idea! We shop at a large 24 hour ASDA and have no problem what so ever. Usually we bring our own old carrierbags that we reuse, buit sometimes we shop without having planned for it, and they always let us have bags without questioning it. I love our ASDA, the staff are all super friendly edited for spelling

hmm good question yeah right, like that means diddly squat Thanks all! We have arrived safely and had a long nights sleep. We have lots of nice days planned, so there should be plenty of pictures when we get back

Camera is fully charged

We're off for a week and a half in Denmark in a few hours Cats are in cattery and the dogs are coming with us. Can't wait to see family and friends again! you all behave now

Sorry, but i do believe this is a load of judgemental mealy mouthed unpleasant waffle....'he said, she said, i heard, i read'................ tabloid 'facts'......come on, who are you to accuse her mother of attention seeking and making aspertions regarding sending her child to school to make her suffer. For heavens sake, what's with this over-moralising, over-inflated, sermonising, pompous essay about cultural values and metaphors!!!??? She's just a little girl who got scared, for heavens sakes! That's it! Have a heart. I've just heard her sing. Voice of an Angel, a revelation. Last nights emotion makes perfect sense now, her vulnerability IS her voice. KRUSEWALKER ON DANISH LOGIN

I didn't see a spoilt girl having a tantrum. I saw a very nervous girl, who realized she was making mistakes in her performance, which made her loose all confidence in herself for a moment, and beg for a second chance. I do think it was right of them to allow her to go again, not so much for the competition, but for her confidence and sense of self esteem. Not the right place you might say, but I do feel that with someone that young you have to make allowances. I am sure the judges realize that she cannot get the same second chance in tonights final, and that if she cracks up again, she is just too young/insecure for a life in the stage lights right now.. But they gave her the chance to see through her performance, and come out hopefully stronger. And as for them choosing her to go to the final... well, that other blokes performance last night was just not very good (in my opinion, Martin prefered him). I don't understand peoples need to be so bitchy about it. For me, the kid who danced yesterday (Aidan?) was BRILLIANT!! Wow, I say... classes better than George Sampson!

as it happens simon pegg is the only actor who has been given bad reviews for his scotty portrayal everyone else has been considered to have done quite a good job the movie has got massive reviews as well its probably all the better that it has got passed the trekkie puritism...cant wait to see it

Yes, that's the interesting thing about new zealand... The 'whites' dont really give any consideration to races (obviously you get some that do, but on the whole, its a bit like the uk in that sense, but it down to that famous kiwi laid back attitude) But the Moaris toward the Somoans, Fijins, Tongans, Orientals........not much love lost there KRUSEWALKER

Fantastic!!!!! Who said the Americans couldnt do irony!

i did ask

awww come on snow, the original series was awful. Star trek didnt come good until the movies and all the other shows even if it was an alternate reality/timeline, they would still be the younger versions of kirk et al anyway, so i doesnt get your logic, its not very vulcan LOL .............its not aimed at the 90201 Gen, it's aimed at the Lost gen KRUSEWALKER how come?

when i wrote above i was taking into account the child is probably third or fourth gen british, which is usually the case for most people called 'paki'. i always thought if you were born in one country and your parents from another, you could claim dual nationality anyway? KRUSEWALKER

Most of the pages list training organisations and types of courses. You can skip straight down to the conclusions, which basically say within appx 2 yrs all dog trainers will need to apply for a licence from the local council......it seems the licensing system will be operated thru the Kennel Club Accredited Instructors Scheme, so its a good idea to factor that into your plans.

you should read this before making up your mind: CAWC click on the "July 2008 - The Regulation Of Companion Animal Services In Relation To Training And Behaviour Modification Of Dogs" report - takes a while to load

get the name of the virus, then google it, then you should find some answers. in the meantime, what your son should be doing is changing his user name to something like: "i have a virus, dont click on me", or "dont click on any links from me", whichever form the virus takes. that saves all his friends getting the virus

to change your address or name on your licence you have to send it to the DVLA title counts as name http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Drive...ence/DG_4022088

It's not so black and white. Like i said, its all to do with context and what's appropriate to the situation. The context in this case being children. Is it 'always' right to sacrifice childhood innocence to the alter of ideology? I'm reminded of the great South Park episode where the black chef got mad and started a campaign against the kids as they made a flag depicting white stick men lynching a black stick man. The kids couldnt understand why chef was being such a stuff shirt about pictures of hanging men, and were offended at his efforts to suppress their creativity. It wasnt until chef explained his complaint, that the kids even realised that the colours were relevant, at which point chef is filled with horror at introducing the concept of race into young minds when it didnt exist. Episode ends with the kids making a flag of black, yellow, green and white stick men lynching a black stick man. Classic. It could also be that people say they are not offended because they are not offended. Grown adults, if so moved, can speak up, if they feel so inclined. Colour isnt a bar to that. So, if an 'ethnic person' doesn't see a problem with kids being kids, what place a white people on their behalf? Although i dont agree the word 'paki' is akin to the words 'brit', 'swede', etc, when it comes to describing nationality, as 'paki' has a history of racism, the others dont, and british born 'pakis' arent 'pakis' anyway, they are brits. I dont think it even compares to yank, kiwi, paddy, or whinging pom either, as those are terms of slang not really grounded in a history of racial abuse, as the word paki is. Respects KRUSEWALKER AGAIN PS - People's from Pakistan are called Pakistanis. However, even this term doesn't work in the same as people from America are called Americans, etc, etc. As Pakistan is an abbreviation for people that live in Punjab, , Kashmir, Sindh, and Balochistan.

I'm intrigued by this statement that the word 'Brit' is racist? I've never ever heard it used in a racist way anywhere ever, nor ever heard anyone before today mention that it has been???? Whereas, we all know that the word 'paki' has been used in a racist way However, if the Pakistani child (which is a misnomer anyway, as one assumes he is a Brit) and his parents didnt have an issue, i dont see what business is it of (white?) PC people to complain on their behalf? I do find that patronising and discriminatory against the 'Pakistani people' concerned. You have to consider the context the word was used in, as you would any word Yes, Paki is a racist word and should be educated against, but when kids are just being kids, and the child's parents dont complain, then that is far more important than forcing a socially segregating victim label upon a child for the purposes of ideology, when all that matters in this case are the truths of childhood. I do think that some fundamental truths of human nature have been over-ridden in today's over-legislating 'right to be offended' society. Also, sometimes highlighting a problem is what creates a problem. POSTED BY KRUSEWALKER ON DANISH LOGIN
