      These days it’s a lot easier to just buy a key then download the software.

      A lot cheaper too.

        Just goes to prove that fake news is not a new phenomenon, it’s been going on for decades.

        “A vicar who rode his bike the wrong way up the M1 was asked how he managed to avoid an accident. He replied ‘God was with me’ and was furthered charged for riding two on a bike”

          I’ve used Corsair Builders many times.

          Is there anything wrong with the VS?

              Well it’s booked for Saturday 25th Feb. Not been that far north in Wales since the early 70’s.

              Bought the last two cheap advance tickets saving £82, but it’s still costing £112. There were a good half a dozen permutations in price and routes.

              I can’t understand why they think I’ll be interested in a train that leaves Bristol Parkway at 22:10 and arrives in B’ham at 23:32 for the 5:30 train to Bangor. It’s not even cheap at £100 each!

              In any case 4 singles are cheaper than a return and will involve 3 different operators and 2 different routes.

              This country is an absolute mess when it comes to getting around on public transport.

                Can’t see why you can’t clone it, or at least make the attempt.

                  Shutting down for no reason is usually a hardware problem.

                  But have a look in the System logs with Event Viewer to see if you can find any clues.

                    Well that’s the only way Bernie was going to go.

                    Nice to see Ross Brawn back.

                    I would like to see the minor teams given more of a chance to compete and that probably comes down to the distribution of the money.

                      Windirstat? https://windirstat.net/

                      It’s good at showing a visual representation of where the space is being used. I agree with Ed, odds on it’s updates and restore points.

                      Microsoft still offer a free upgrade to 10  if you use “assistive technologies” http://tinyurl.com/h5evwfp

                      The definition of assistive technologies is so woolly if you use a different mouse or keyboard or even sometimes zoom the screen you count.

                      In any case I’ve been buying a W10 Pro licences for less than a tenner and Office 2016 Pro for £15 from E-Bay with no issues.

                        Thanks Steve. I wasn’t planing on getting off at Holyhead! That train comes up the borders and stops literally everywhere. Looks like the return journey is via Birmingham.

                        Cheap rent is always a good thing. Daniel is at Plymouth which is slightly cheaper than Bangor, so he’s an easy walk away. My eldest has been at Bath for 7 years (he’s doing a PhD now) and lives well out of town to get affordable rent. Luckily that’s where the Uni is, well a 20 min bike ride.

                        Bristol is an extremely hilly area, you always seem to be going up or down. Her 2km walk to school has 30m elevation change but there’s two hills so that’s more like 50m.

                                    Steve, it wasn’t so much that he disputed the figures with only totally subjective evidence of his own  – it looked like a million and a half to me, how the hell does he know what a million and a half looks like?

                                    It’s how it was done and especially by the press secretary. It’s clear that bullying of any opposition is going to be the order of the day.

                                    Have you notice how many do a Cameron these days? Say your piece then walk off so you can’t be challenged.

                                      India is a vast continent. In some areas they do like it extremely hot.

                                      Thai food can also be scorching. I remember watching Rick Stein seeing tom yum being prepared by a local housewife with 30+ chillies. I do love a Thai green curry done properly (not by the Chinese takeaway).

                                      I do agree though that chilli is not the be all and end all of Indian cuisine.

                                      Whilst I enjoy a hot curry I also enjoy being able to taste what’s going on so I’ve never seen the point of Phall etc.

                                      A good Biryani is hard to beat and that has no chilli at all.

                                      If you just want heat have a ham sandwich and overdo the Colmans. That’s done more damage to my sinuses than any chilli.

                                      If anyone’s looking for chilli sauces in the range of mild to suicidal I can recommend The Wiltshire Chilli Farm http://justchillies.co.uk/

                                          No it’s true. Most “Indian” restaurants are Bangladeshi.

                                          Lots of them don’t make the dishes in the same way they would if they were at home, they are tweaked for us (and nothing wrong with that).

                                          If you look at one of the Indian You Tube cooking channels or watch things like Rock Steins Odyssey you’ll see what I mean.

                                          I was wrong about the Icelandic beer in the fridge, it wasn’t a blond.

                                            No-one forced Apple or Ford etc to move their manufacturing overseas, they could have left it there and still made a ton of money.

                                            But that’s the Capitalist model for you, a race to the bottom on costs. Everything is about the bottom line.

                                            How that squares with being the political leader of a country I guess we’ll find out.

                                            Now we find out that Trump is already blaming the media for everything negative, even lying about the numbers at the inauguration when anyone with a pair of eyes can see the truth.

                                            This man <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>is</span> dangerous, make no mistake about it.
