  1. Its a sad time we knew would come. As Rother said things like Facebook have killed off forums. The dvd forums used have thousands of members but posts are few and far. Nothing lasts forever and facebook will one day be replaced. How long we got Jamer to the end? I agree you can't keep throwing money and time at this. Will the facebook group continue - be good to catch up in there. I learned so much from these forums and saved a lot ? of cash
  2. Yes I am not very up to date on the rules but I know my dad would lose some mobility benefits if he went for the car - he does not have wheelchair etc and I am afraid to proud to use one (yes I bang my head against the wall with him). It all seems rather strange the rules as they don't seem to help everyone in need.

  4. Alloneword good to see you around
  5. Hey All1 Saw this post first on 21st Dec. I wanted to reply but really did not know what to say. It was strange and freaky seeing it that day as it was 20 years to the day my boss took his life. A day I dread coming and a day myself and old employees still remember with dread. We have all suffered for 20 years and psychologically we have all suffered to this day, his family and friends suffered and I bet this time of year is never easy for his family. Destroyed basically by someone who wanted to ease his own suffering but didn't realise the effect on others. As you said you are fed up and none of us can even begin to know what you are going through but taking you own life gives you release but it hurts and destroys the people who love you. I guess you will say you have no one but I bet you have neighbours, old friends, school friends and of course the people here. In fact as we all shoot for life we meet more people who have an effect on us I have no doubt you have made people lives happier and who would like you to still be around. Of course you are at the lowest you have ever been and a shit time of year for all this to happen. You can get up from that last knock out punch and you certainly have friends here who want you still around. Heck you are only 53 and lived through the 1966 world cup - we can't lose you - YOUR IMPORTANT. Take care Derren
  6. Jamerspad has been amazing and what an adventure. Met new friends here, learned so much and managed to save quite a lot on movies and software with recommendations of where to get things cheaper ? Like you Jamer I have also run sites that now are not visited and have closed them. Its such a shame however facebook still has a legacy of Jamerspad and it hopefully can go someway to fill this huge void. Jamer - also thanks for your hard work over the years and all the mods etc
  7. Well work over the last 10 years seems to have taken over my life. Self employed accountant. Hence finding little time for leisure. That must change as health, weight, mood all seem to be going in the wrong direction. Anyway just put this as a big bookmark on my browser so hope to pop in more. Will try and start some old topics up. Derren
  8. Hi all. Been in a few times and lurked but not said hi so here it is ??hi. What we all doing lately? I will give an update on my boring life later. Still see Jamer very occasionally Derren
  9. Happy 20th birthday. Forum has taught me a lot and I have met some new friends here over the years. Still say hi to Jamer, Phil and Aide whenever I see them in the flesh and made other friends whom I have never met but still come across regular. Derren

    Drones

    Stunning quality - these drones are going to get cheaper and better in the next few years but this footage is amazing
  13. Ahh not on here much. Would also help but in middle of buying house so no more contracts until done. My old man wants a phone (me to get contract) and I have not told him about house yet but just tell him I am on to it. Hope you get it sorted mate (billy). Derren
  14. I watched it too and he is a very interersting chap. You could see he was quite nervous delivering his speech but I like that humbleness. If there was a way to off the money grabbing utility companies I am in for that.
  15. Guys, my old man needs a new phone. He has £40 he wishes to spend. So with phone prices and models that say two years ago were £300 you can get various for this price 2nd hand. So what models are recommended. Nothing to high tech as he asks me to give him over 100 lessons on just texting but he would like it to have a nice camera, as big screen as possible etc. Cheers
  16. Happy New Year folks. 2014 was not to bad I don't think - it was nothing special but better than 2013 which was horrible. What about you lot - 2014 good bad?
  17. I remember this discussion last year. So guess you enjoyed it. We were looking at Fuertaventura but could not get anywhere so ended up in Crete. Loved Crete and fully recommend. Derren
  18. Hi Spidey. Hope all good in your neck of the woods.
  19. I still remember when it happened. I might have said this before but sky was in its infancy but broadcast on astra or something and there was other channels such as german channels. I turned it over after the accident to a german channel as you could see live events and you could see him being taken out the car. It was quite obvious then he was gone. We should also not forget Roland Ratzenberger who is sometimes forgotten at this time.
  20. Used to be up to date on camera but not any more but have heard a good few things on this canon range.

    Hi all

    Beebo, not sure what is wrong with you lately but if you are unable to make constructive and useful comments then fairwell to you if you are off. Its been nice knowing you over the years so goodbye. Also I did not appreciate the private message sent to me swearing at me calling me not a very nice name. Derren
  22. Its very strange indeed. My belief was he was hijacked possibly by pilot and for some reason it has crashed; possibly by action to reclaim the plane that has gone wrong. I say this because I would believe the plane could be found very quickly if it landed someone. Of course there are only a number a landing places and this place would have to authorise it. Its not like you can land it without the airport knowing. So its gone down somewhere after a highjacking. I did through, just get daughter to clean her bedroom and I asked her to check if its was in there as her bedroom was so messy but she did not find it.
  23. Good post mate and some very famous names there.
  24. I have been receiving rogue emails to my business domain for the past 6 months. Its as through someone is targetting me. The thing is they come from sources that I actually deal with. I work as an accountant and many of my spam emails are from HMRC, HMRC VAT returns, Companies House etc. Then there are royal mail packages, DHL, Booking.com and even today one from Amazon. All of these have a zip file attached that is a virus. One day I received 50. Clients of mine to are reporting them so I reckon this is bigger than anything has been reported. This obviously is a huge organised crime where the government seem helpless to act or just do not want to. Find these gangs, send over the special forces and put a few holes in them as this is nothing but extortion and blackmail on a scale i dont think we can fathom.
