  1. Doing the best you can do in GCSE's is important if you want to go to uni if i remember rightly, cos when you're filling in uni application forms, i think some of your predicted grades are based on GCSE results. Also, cos i didn't get enough A's at GCSE, i wasn't put on the list for Oxbridge application, so if this is important to you, make sure you revise.
  2. What sort of budget are you looking at?
  3. Random Someone keeps trying to write Korea It's not going to happen!
  4. We had this problem in our flat last year. Doing the following seemed to help: go start>run... type in 'services.msc' and press ok Scroll down until you get to wireless configuration or wireless zero configuration double click on it. If you've got a connection at the time, change start up type to manual if it's on automatic, then click stop on service status. ok everything If this doesn't work you can set it all back to automatic and started and you should have the same situation as you started with. Good luck, Andy
  5. have a look for a song by nightwish called something along the lines of 'ghost love score instrumental' 'tis well good :turned:
  6. I do understand what he's saying, it's just that as soon as people like teachers or politicians start telling us that we should only see people, then you are going down the road to having one big global culture with none of the diversity that we have now. For example: people somewhere (i think it's a rainforest tribe) have taken to putting wooden plates under their bottom lip to artificially increase its size. Now I don't find this attractive at all, and I certainly wouldn't see someone who'd done it as just another person - i'd see them as someone who had a great big bottom lip. That would be their defining feature. This doesn't make me prejudiced against them in any way shape or form. In fact, they'd probably be chuffed i'd noticed. In a country where the majority of people are white, then we are always going to see a black person walking down the street as a black person, because this helps us differentiate between them and the millions of other people it could have been. Why on earth are people trying to say otherwise? I just can't understand it because it degrades everyone's heritage to do so.
  7. No it f**king wouldn't. If all we saw were people then we would lose all individuality. I'm a geek. I'm happy being a geek. People may take the piss out of the fact that i'm a geek, but it doesn't bother me because it's just one of the many things that make me who I am. If someone said that I was no longer a geek because calling me it made them feel uncomfortable, then I would tell them to sod off and stop pushing their opinion on everyone else just cos it made them feel better.

  8. it's a bit different though, because your greebo mates could stop looking like that any time they wanted; they're doing it cos they want to. If my skin was black then i wouldn't be able to change it's colour quite so easily.
  9. Fair enough, but it's getting to the stage where people are afraid to use the colour of someone's skin to describe them, for fear of being racist. I agree something needs to be done, but getting narked cos someone's been called 'nigger' is not the way to go about it. The only reason that the woman/girl would have called your mate one, Spacemunkee, is because she knew it would aggravate you. If she could see that it didn't bother him or you one bit, then the chances are that she'd realise that the insult didn't work and so would stop using it. Before we stop being racist, we've got to stop generalising about other headings which you can gather folk: Just because someone wears a tracksuit does not mean that you have a penchant for stealing things, again it's just a small minority.

  10. But you see that assumes that the people on the forum disagreeing with him are sufficiently intelligent to understand the problem to a greater depth than Phil.
  11. National Debt Clock and some more info for you :)" Anyway, this seems to be mixing up two mostly separate items. The tidal wave relief effort should not be confused with getting rid of third world debt. Indonesia isn't even in the third world. Sorry dude, but one person I know dying of something preventable makes a lot more of an impression than millions in another country. Selfish, I know, but that's human nature. agreed. Yes, but taking advantage of what they had seemed to at one point or another, mean going out and colonising most of the countries who are now struggling, because we fancied a bit more of an empire. Don't you think we owe them some help (preferably not monetary) since we pretty much stopped any natural development in its tracks for sugar plantations and the like. Does the word 'slave' sound familiar? trust me when i say that i very much doubt it :P Nicely put, and it's good to see you've been watching some tv documentaries on 'the real Darwin' to flavour your prose. Fairdos though, i've been to the site of one of the concentration camps, and there are no words to describe the feelings you get when you walk through the 'shower block'. But no one in their right mind would want to bring a child into the world where all they will know is suffering. That is pure selfishness on the part of the adults. In fact, it seems that quite a lot of the blame lies with the men, as since becoming aware of the West, all a lot of them seem to want to do is drink and gamble their lives away, leaving wifey to bring up the kids and take care of the livelihood. I wish i could write as much for the project i've got to get started on... Andy Summary: We should help the heavily indebted countries because we or our ancestors have profited from putting them in that position in the first place. But ffs don't just give them money.
  12. I think the above pretty much says what is needed. Well done :lol: Nice to see someone taking a thoughtful approach to this situation. Andy
  13. Andy - press f4 while in explore mode. That should give you a menu which shows among other things % complete
  14. Folks, I have got to 68% completion in the career mode, and it tells me i have completed the game, but i still have no wide arch kit. Can anyone offer any advice on this? Cheers, Andy
  15. must be a new weight saving technique, think I'll stick to both sides laced though meself :-
  16. if you use deionised water during the winter and you keep your bike outside for any long stretch of time, the water will freeze: it's happened to one of my mates :-. With regards to anti freeze, the jury's out on whether or not it will corrode your seals. Really it's just best to use wd40 or royal blood. Andy
