tipsy Jock

Thanks chaps, i'll give Ccleaner a try. I thought 20-30 processes was normal? Bear in mind this laptop is only used for the internet. It's got two hard drives, one with 2gb free, the other about 15gb free.

Evening chaps, I've inherited my mums laptop and I want to get it running how it used to. What can I do to get rid of the slugishness without going so far as to completly wipe and reinstall Windows? Both hard disks have at least 2 Gb of space. I'm running Norton, Adaware and Spybot as we speak to get rid of any unwanteds. Currently there are about 53 processes running which I think is far too many, i've used hijack this to give me a list of everything thats happening but I don't know enough to do anything with this info. Help!

Go for it, remember though the key rule of investing, only put in what you can afford to lose. I was tempted a while ago when RPS plummetted but I don't have the spare cash. A friend of mine took out a graduate loan and rinsed his interest free overdraft to put into RBS shares before the bailout was announced.

Seems fair to me, how can you be in control of a car whilst tipping your head back to take a drink with only one hand on the wheel? More bad luck than anything else though getting caught. I think most people are guilty of it at some point or other.

I'd only buy a car for that much if it came with free AA cover

That will imply some of us still ride

I've heard that Matt Black paint adds at least another 50bhp.... Hmm I need to finalise my engine plans, need something fruity for the Inaugral T-F RWYB day (I don't know why I keep adding inaugral, but it sounds good )

Hahahahahaha! What happened dude? I'm sure what ever the problem is i'm sure throttle bodies can fix it Oh and it was indeed a great meet, nice to meet you all and see some awesome cars.

Hahaha! I'll probably eat. Oh and i've no idea where this place is, i'm counting on you guys!

Just replied buddy, Still planning on 12.30 at Northampton southbound services?

Nope I mean J8 of the M1. Me too! I've not touched the Rallye for the very reason that if I do i'll break it and then not be able to come lol.

I am, I'm setting off from Junction 8 of the M1. I was planning on going up past MK and meeting up with Steve and Tom etc and then heading back down the the pub with them.

Hmmm, not sure i'm going to like the answer to that question lol Yup, sounds good to me! As much as I love Rallyes it's good to see other cars and talk about something different every now and then lol

12.300 at Northampton services you say? I meet you there too, only another junction or two and the A5 is always fun!

Can I get a woop woop please? Less than a week until the inaugral T-F car meet!

Tut tut, all these drop outs! I'll still be there for the inaugral T-F car meet Well provided I don't screw up fitting my coilovers this weekend!

Can someone sum up for me what's gone on in one post or less? I don't like feeling left out but I can't be arsed to read through 24 pages to find out!

I know, only kidding. Shame, I was looking forward to seeing the Civic. Another time I guess!

That's it, get your coats! Rallye register have already done that, without using Motorways or dual carriage ways right?

I just can't believe he was happy to let the engine go like that, does he have no pride in his work? or care about his reputation? Good luck to you I say, i'm sure by the time this is over Morspeed with have a fraction of the business it used to. looking forward to more updates

I think part of the reason they are stepping in is to bail themselves out. Local councils etc were told to maximise their funds by using high interest accounts by central govt. So to an extent they were simply carrying that out. I think the effect would be worse for us if they weren't bailed out. On the surface you think that it doesn't effect you, but it will. How do you think the councils will recoup those losses? Up goes council tax and down gos council spending. I'm still amazed that they had that amount of money to invest.

Sad little bunch aren't we? lol

It's probably about a 100 mile round trip for me, if that
