My son's about to buy one and has decided on one of the Creative models. He was thinking on the Micro as it's smaller than the Touch, the difference being storage of 5GB compared to 20 or 40GB.Does anybody have any experience of these things? I think...
I have noticed that many people (especially in Britain) say "Cheers" where I assume thet are intending to thank someone for something. (In fact, it often seems to be immediately followed up with the word "Mate" especially in the London area)I...
I need to set up a wireless network for my pc & sony vaio laptop at home.My vaio is wireless ready, so I guess I just need a wireless router. I've seen a couple of belkin models for approx £50, & £70, & also a netgear one for about £90.Don't know anything about the technology, or what the more expensive ones offer over the cheaper ones. Which one to go for? I also need to get some sort of parental control set up for my pc. My anti-virus prog. doesn't offer anything, & I'd...
Congratulations to Northern Ireland on a gutsy display and a well deserved victory.As for the England team and the manager. A poor display.
ChapsMrs Mick has decided she wants a topless car. She prefers the sort where you press a button and a METAL roof comes out and hey presto you have a metal roofed car. She does not want a soft top.She saw a Chrysler Crossfire which did look good and I...

Hi there - shortly moving to Edmonton, Alberta. Need to know which is the equivelant of Richer Sounds (crime I know). I need to get a cheapish CD player to go with my wifes 1982 vintage Sony HiFi whilst we renovate the basement before I purchase my...
I recently cancelled (within 2 days) a contract I had with a company 'Warmroof' - I paid a £250 deposit which the company are refusing to refund due to a clause on their contract, however the financial agreement cancellation clause states that...
When I click links ie the Volvo link from "Cars without a roof" thread,which have quick time movies/clips all I get is a done message at the bottom of the page and a QT Logo where the clip should be.Link works OK in IE BTW.Any ideas I'll assume a...
Hi,A good friend of mine is selling his Leica M6 and is giving me first refusal. I will pay him via Paypal or something similar - perhaps even a direct bank transfer in US $$s - my question is, when he ships the camera to me, will I get stung with a...
My wife still thinks it strange that a Swedish person with interesting spectacles pretends to be 'manager' etc of highly-overpaid 'English footie team. Thank goodness I have resisted temptation to fork out for Sky sports package (until cricket next...
I have recently been added to a new disposal scheme where my rubbish bin will only be emptied every two weeks as opposed to weekly. We have also been given bins for garden waste which is also emptied every two weeks (Alternate - but no food or or non...

My Sky box has finally packed in after about 5 years. (Funnily enough had a call from Sky only last week asking if I wanted to insure the box - cost would have been £79 a year. After thinking about I decided not to bother as I thought I could...
