      It's just that I've got to do something this year. I went to the Autosport show and was slightly disappointed. I did fancy going to a btcc race, but it doesn't sound practical or enjoyable to actually travel to a track.

      I passed that milestone a long way back! No worries just stay clear of the cakes..

  2. I bought a HP pavilion laptop on friday, 1Tb, 8Gb and the DVD drive played up, so I took it back and got a refund 1/12/14. Do I buy another after finding out about this being a known problem, or do I buy something else?

      When I browse the site on my mobile, it's in the mobile version but somewhere on the page there's a link to the full version. Are you saying your mobile doesn't load the full version properly? I would recommend posting in the Using the Board section with more specifics to see if anyone can help.

      I usually just say I liked it or hated it I started putting the copy of the book on to fill my posts. Why someone would ask me for a coherent book report, well?

      It's funny because at the cinema the other night, there was an advert for A Tablet about a kid giving a presentation.I thought that's Me. The kid looked up a 'How to' and got on with it. What a little Smartass I thought, Definitely not me.

      I don't know what browser you're using, but there should be a setting under 'view' (in Firefox it's in the toolbar along the top) then 'Zoom' then 'Reset'

      If you have a scroll mouse, hold Ctrl on keyboard and scroll the mouse wheel. It will Zoom in or out.

      I'd changed my browsers view to 75% somewhere. It's okay now.

      One of these days they'll ask me.

  11. It's sunny and warm and I'm enjoying my books, somethings wrong

  12. I've been totally assured that the pallet I've left hanging off the back of the rack 20ft up, won't crash through the windows before I get to work tomorrow. No worries there then

      And It Didn't, I so enjoyed being harnessed up in a cage. The sweat literally poured out, funny as it wasn't particularly warm.

  13. If you haven't guessed, I'm in a pub

  14. They want us to have photographs on our id badges at work now, How do stop them from using the photos for other purposes. Or get out. of having it taken in the first place?

    1. vodkafan

      vodkafan

      Hmm, don't see this as a real big deal to be honest dex? I have had my photo taken for my id badge for the last 10 years. Tbh nobody looks like their photo anyway we always laugh about it

    2. bobblybear

      bobblybear

      We've had id badges with our photos on it for ages. I guess you just have to have trust in the company you work for.

      They will say it's for security purposes, so it will be virtually impossible to avoid. If you have a union rep, I would speak to them. It may be possibl;e to get some assurances that the photos won't be used for other purposes.

  15. You know when you accidently look for new members instead of content, then you think let's see what names people use. There do seem to be a lot of No Posts from years ago.

      It's not just Birmingham. It's such a shame that we don't celebrate it as well as the Scottish, Welsh and Irish do on their saints

      I have a sudden urge to tell you to sit up straight and check that you are wearing a warm vest! I feel your status update carries a heaviness to it. Hope that's not the case.
