I had the same buying problem a few months ago and settled on a Billion 7800N after seeing various problems with the Netgear et al (mainly due to overheating)

This bit of kit is unbelievably good. It does Jumbo Frames, the ADSL is rock solid (the connection time is never less than since I last ...

Went to Blackpool in January for an Elvis festival - thought i'd go to the arcades, wish I didn't bother.

All Coral Island had were a couple of House Of The Dead types, and a Guitar Hero setup. Everything else was money related fruities and SWP stuff.

Spot the I.T. guy. No cheating!

A bit late but -

I bought one of the Bush HD boxes from Argos and it's fantastic. In 3 months it's locked up once and i've seen bizarre lip sync issues on some of the minor channels after a while, but nothing a quick channel change can't sort out. Recommended.

Android definitely needs a slicker UI, by default it does look a bit austere, although the Nexus One with the live wallpapers is lush.

I'd say neither. I've used an iPhone and I own an Android handset and neither work anywhere near as well as any Symbian or Blackberry handset I've owned. Both Google and Apple seem unable to grasp the concept of a mobile being a phone first and everything else second.

On a more basic level, the ...

I know I am a bit of a :macwanker: but I know ansolutely no-one who has gone from an iPhone to Android and I know 7 people who have gone the other way.

I've seen the opposite in my office.

I used to have a 2G iphone which I gave to the bird and got a Hero instead.

Then our graphic designer ...

Get fooked. Portugal do some great coffee too.

Their TV is shit, mind.

Strangely the most chavtastic food ever, Fray Bentos Pies, I can only find at Waitrose. WTF?

As a student they were ace. A meal in a can, bung it in the oven and no washing up. Steak and Kidney were the only ones to go for though.

Being older and more sofistikated I try to cook as much as I can ...

True. But the only problem with that is Swindon is a bigger shithole than anywhere round here. Mind you I worked at W.H.Smith HQ in Greenbridge and it's still the best job I ever had.

But if we were all honest you'd be best buggering off to Bristol for something to do. The entire Cotswolds shut ...

You're going to Q.A. Training then?

There's nowt to do in Cirencester. You'd do better to get a hotel in Cheltenham, far more to do in the evenings there.

Anything in particular you're after?

i thought QA had closed down cirencester and moved to swindon?

You're right. Mind you the last time I ...

Stuart, that all sounds like you need to build up your endurance foundation first.

If you're feeling completely fucked after a few minutes, you're going too fast. Set a slower pace, one that keeps your heart rate at midrange levels. This enables you to keep going for long enough to make it an ...

Performance at the moment is, indeed, toss. But it's better than when it was at the sandbox site, so they're doing work on it.

Oh fer Christ's sake, what's the fucking point.

Everyone's gone to the trouble of making a list, and so people decide instead, in their wisdom, to just random them off to to whoever happens to be online at the time. Not only that but they end up going to people who wanted invites *so badly* that ...
