I've tried half a dozen restore points but it made no differences.

Wonder if any computer wizards here can help. I have a computer running on XP with connection to the web via a Ethernet cable. 2 days ago it stops with no connection(it says it has no or limited conectivity), but 4 other computers (running on win7 or win8, plus other tablets can connect to the net so I know it's not the modem or the connection itself. I've swapped the cable with a spare one and that makes no difference, I've tried all the other available ports, that seems no difference either(the sky modem has 2 lights on all 4 ports, the top light is amber while the bottom is green whenever I plug in the e-cable). so I think I can safely rule out the cable. That leaves either software or the ethernet card itself. Tried status, to reestablish connect but it comes back unable to connect. However, every-time I plug in the e-cable, it detects the cable and try to connect but come back unable to. So before I go and buy a new card, can anyone suggest any probable causes? Thx in advance, Kam

Happy Birthday Paul, have a great one.

A man sees his wife is busy in the kitchen and says: "Can I help?" She says, "Sure, take this bag of potatoes, peel half of them and put them in a pot to boil." No matter what men do, somehow, we still get yelled at...

He's still out there being towing around by the poole bay monster.

Here's your next customer.....

Rob, you've put on weight.....

Which saltist was that? Usually they are pretty tough.

THIS IS AN ACTUAL CUSTOMER REVIEW FROM A MAN ON AMAZON.CO.UK AFTER USING VEET HAIR REMOVAL CREAM FOR MEN. I ACTUALLY HAD TEARS ROLLING DOWN MY FACE WHILE READING IT!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOO FUNNY!!!: After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly Rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly successful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit if a treat. I ordered it well in advance and working in the North Sea I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...Oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn’t have long to wait. At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the the destruction of the meat and two veg. Struggling not to bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel off in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen, by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief. I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, toe the lid off and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing returned. Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn’t managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the draw for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon. I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so. I took a handful of them and an tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse. This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found its way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running its engines behind me. This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain. The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before. Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering “ooooohhh that feels good” Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn’t heard her come in it caused an involuntary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction. I can understand that having a sprout fired against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn’t the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn’t improve my status…so to sum it up, VEET removes hair, dignity and self-respect ~ Cerys

Adam was very nice to show me how to retrieve an anchor using an alderney ring some 7/8 years ago, I can still remember how it's done. Thank you.

I have a friend who wants to use a net to catch bait fish for fishing, he wants to know if there are a minimum size of net he can legally use? Thx in advance.

They are hook on string, fitted to pirlk with an O ring, it flaps about the pirk. They are less likely to hook any wrecks or bottom. Do try a Gummi Mak too, they work very well on pirks or speed jig.

If you search the database, I'm there were several threads about batteries. Basicly, car battery good for starting outboard engine, but you will kill it early by running equipments off it. Some run 2 batterirs set up, car for starting, leisure battery for running others. The threads will have more details.

Not for long it won't, forecasts say cold from Sat onward.

What a incredible day. floating for bass on the bridge, 4 inside the hour, best one just over the magical 10lb mark. Then we went over to the ledge and breams were jumping on our rigs like there's no tomorrow, most were male fish and 3lb+. We called it a day at 4pm. Knackered from all the sport so fell asleep on way in. Then I woke up, it's just a flipping dream..........

Mackeral good, but no breams BAD.

May I suggest you gut your fish first before putting into icebox. 1st, you wanna get rid of the crap. 2nd, an open belly help icy temp to get into fish faster.

Happy Birthday Jim, what goodies have you got for your birthday?
