Hi and welcome back. Derren

Thanks and merry christmas to everyone. Just chillin today and a few nice bottles have arrived to help. Derren

Have a nice break Sparks and a merry crimbo and happy new year. This is the first year I am not sunning myself in the far east. At least the wife is finally here with me. Just a shame we are looking at the worst winter ever to welcome her. Derren

"now i hate them with a passion (almost as much as Diana)" I thought you were going to say almost as much as Derren hates them, but thats not possible.

Well done Mr D. You can never stop learning I say.

As some of you know, I fly on a lot of asian airlines and most of the flight attendents look like her. :Tongue: Eva air my favorite airline partly due to the cuties looking after you.

While growing up, Norman Wisdom films were on regular on BBC and as a kid I remember rolling around laughing and in hsyterics. He was just so funny and appealed to me. The only other film set that come close is the Pink Panther films. RIP Norman.

Dvdprofiler - thats the one mate I used to use.

You have me trying to think now what the hell I used to use at one stage. It was a fab piece of software where you entered the bar code or movie code which is shown on the box and it found it for you which is fab as there are many different versions of the same film if you just put the film name in. I will rack my brain for you. D

Your boy needs to do his national service like we all did. You need 48k spectrum Copy of Computer and video games He will find a game listing in the magazine which will be approx 10 pages long full of code. He needs to enter this exactly with any hope of it working. One missed word or letter then his epic game will not work He will defo find it does not work but will be up to early hours of the morning sobbing, checking and rechecking 10 times that every is correct. In the magazine 2 issues later they print an amendment as they made an error. Game will now work D

completely agree with you buddy and today I have sent a letter to Andrew Mitchell, International Development Secretary questioning these donations when only a few weeks back cameron said that Pakistan breeds terrorism and why we should pay when Pakistan spends $5.18 billion on defence. This has gone to his secretary to be passed on to him. Derren

I have been following this with interest when I first heard about it a few months back. They have been sending out consultation papers to software companies that provide payroll services such as sage, 123 pay etc. Not one is in agreement and have said its such a dangerous road to go down. I provide payroll services myself and this will just never work. Look at the fiasco with the NHS trying to centalise all that. I actually don't think it will ever work or come into practice except for stage 1 which is maybe sending what is due in realtime rather than at the end of the year. Derren

My mate who buys paint for his work (he does kitchen splashbacks) buys from Cromodex. http://www.interpon.com/cromadex/default.htm Not sure they sell to public or if its what your after but link above in anycase. D

had your last email sharing your lottery win, so guess working a1 ok :-) Cheers boss

Have you tried using shazam on the iphone? Thats good at identifying tracks. What about posting the youtube link and I can try it on my iphone (can't today as my speakers at work lack sound). D

Excellent - where was this filmed Jamer?

I have one which I got last week. I must say that I never entertained the idea of buying one but i was actually given one as a present of a client Well so far all I can say is I have hardly put it down. Whereas all day or evening I have the laptop or pc on Its been left off now as the iPad has taken over tasks such as mainstream web browsing, watching movies, iplayer, YouTube and listening to music. Its great to lie in bed and surf rather than hunched over the laptop/pc. It's a great device and I think now if I lost or broke it, I would go out and buy another.

Think this is out of Robocop - a brilliant film. Anyway great device.

Don't forget adding to the government coffers is the amount paid in corporation tax by the retailer and manufacturer. Even through you are not paying this directly the effect of you filling up is to increase the profits of the retailer and manufacturer and hence more money going to the governement so in fact you could say rather than 80p going to the governement its more than that. I also have been cutting back on driving. In fact I have been biking to some of my work places for approx 3 months now. The way I see it is i reckon each journey there and back costs me approx £4.00 on fuel (I exclude all wear and tear costs but this is also saved). I bike about 3 times a week and work home other days. So £12 saved in a week. If I can do this approx for 40 weeks of the year thats almost £500 saved. I always go on holiday as most know to Thailand which costs me airfare wise £500. So by biking I save enough money to pay for my airfare. Also it keeps me fitter, I get there in approx 8 minutes as opposed to most days sitting in car in traffic jam taking almost 30 mins and I lock bike outside. The downside is my life expectancy is a little lower due to the shite drivers we have on our roads - yes thats you Mrs 4x4 who has no spacial awareness at all.

Happy birthday buddy
