Right, ftp.toucansurf.com is the address I have username and password, I use internet explorer as my FTP, I don't use a program. Those that don't know you right click on the page and hit "Login As" I put my details in and it says connection with server reset. I tried an FTP program, it just doesn't connect - any ideas? I'm going insane.

Haven't read all the thread, but I guess from your post you're young. Say around 14 - 15? Being in a relationship - and I mean a relationship - not a 5 month holding-hands thing you do at 14 - 15, you do things for other people. Eating at your partners house? That's nothing mate. Wait til you're the father and there's all kinds of fluids spraying everywhere and you gotta stand there holding her hand until the little one appears. Wait until you crack the news to her dad that you want to marry her. Wait until she has personal health problems and you have to do very personal things - not of a sexual nature, some things you really wouldn't want to do. Out of all the things stressful / embarrassing / scary in a relationship - you choose a 15 minute food eating session. You're in for a shock m'lad. Maybe i'm just old. Oh I read some more: "Can't say f**k in front of" - Why would you want to? It's about social interaction - you adapt to the situation. If you went for an interview at a bank would you turn up and say "Erm, well I think i'd be good at the job because i'm clever, I like riding my bike with my mates and generally f**king about really mate". No. I can see the point about the g/f spreading crap - I had an ex once that used to do it. We'd have an arguement and i'd say I didn't want to talk to her if she was going to be unreasonable so she'd go and tell her family I called her a bitch or something and her brother would send me nasty texts! He was only 16 so I wasn't exactly intimidated but still, the cheek of it. Needless to say I wasn't with her much longer. (She wasn't even attractive and the sex was crap too - waste of 2 years to be honest.) Anyway, to sum up, if anyone is ever pissed off with someone or not totally happy, end it. I've been with Fran for over two years now and I think we've had one major row in our first year and that's it. (Not bad considering she spends half her time in Lincoln at Uni and I spend loads of time running my own company!) Anyway, wise or not so wise words from me

More youngsters...! It always seems to happen to the nice people, theiving f**kers and suchlike seem to get off unscathed. No justice in this world, I swear. RIP guys.

It's gotta be a Austin Metro. Surely. When do we get the answer anyway lol (For those that are genuinely thick, my answer was a joke)

Want Photoshop? Try Adobe.com - they take most cards and can do it over the phone i'd have thought.

Connecting iPods through leads is a short term answer, anyone that truely likes sound quality will hate the hiss from the headphone socket, then there's the problem of forgetting it's on and pulling it out - "FOOOOM". Then again, I guess true audiophiles don't listen to digital stuff anyway... I can supply you a T+A Valve Amplifier and Turntable for just under ten thousand? http://www.taelektroakustik.de - I'm a supplier for them. 12" plastic is where it's at my friend. Walking to work I love the iPod but at home it's gotta be my Dj gear or some vinyl.

I'm nearly 23 and seeing someone wearing one of those would scare me. I'm not nervous or afraid of Chavs, but seeing or not seeing as the case is, someone wearing one of those would put me on edge. Certainly old people will be worried, they are pointless and should be banned.

To be honest Jade "pig face" Goody is an annoying b*****d, but sure got me watching... I find it boring usually but that ugly warthog made me watch it so I could shout abuse at her through the box! Good luck with auditions guys lol

Where's the porter one?

Mine were so bad I could hardly hear, that's why I went. Some people need to go more regularly than others. My doctor messed up a few times (long story) so I ended up going to hospital. Most don't so don't worry. None of it hurt either, in fact the initial one felt nice and tickly! I need to go again soon though as my ears are crap and build up faster than most

Random fact: I was 16, working at Argos for Mike Hunt. Seriously. Bizarrely he never got grilled over it - I must have been the only person that found it funny

Well there is, the indicators aren't working... lol Seriously, French cars are poo compared to Jap or German. But hey, there's the car thread for arguements.

Fatpants always adds something jokey to threads, just ignore it. I chuckled briefly, and just scroll past it! Thanks for your help everyone, I guess Relay has the majority vote, I shall check later I told her to sell it ages ago, it's nothing but trouble! (It's French after all!) Cheers peeps i'll let you know what happens

Right, My partner drives a J reg 106 1.1 xn - Lately the indicators have been playing up, sometimes they wouldn't come on when you tried to indicate left or right, but now they've completely died and it seems to affect Hazard lights too. You press the Hazard button and you can hear a click in the fuse box like it's doing something, likewise with the indicator stalk. It seems to me like a loose connection in the wiring as it didn't suddenly go (ie it's not the fuse or the bulbs). Am I correct? If so, how easy is it to get to the cables behind the fuse box? I'm sure that's where the loose connection is, as the indicator stalk and hazard light button are not together (ie they'd both have to go at the same time - highly unlikely). Therefore I assume it's at the back of the fusebox or before they branch off to each control... Any ideas chappies? Mike

I didn't know him, but RIP - it must be horrible to lose someone so close, don't know what i'd do without my partner! RIP Ricky.

I just sent him a text, purely saying: www.djdownload.com www.beatport.com That's all I wrote... lol... I think he may get the hint when he sees £1.49 next to each track I do feel harsh, but I know I shouldn't... strange... I've never been one to leech from people so I guess I just find it weird that some people would even ask... If someone said "would you like a copy of this cd?" I may say yes, but i'd never actually ask for it.

He is a mate, but not one I see very often... I have no objections to copying a greeatest hits album for someone, this just seems different as the tunes define me as a DJ, they are my style, hence I chose each one rather than buying a compilation... It just seems really cheeky... like if he said "oh this tunes wicked, copy it!" I probably would, but not blag my whole record box! Glad you all agree anyway

Right - the story. I use CD decks - I download electro, tech and funky house and breakbeat from places such as beatport and DJ Download (I don't use filesharing, as you get crap quality crap length tracks, any DJ will realise what that means). Now, each track costs me £1.50, I go through the websites and hand pick them. I have almost a suitcase full, which has cost me well over £700 in total and has taken me hours and hours of time to select, preview, buy & download. Now the problem: I just got a text from a mate saying: "Russell is buying the same decks as you on finance, but he needs music, can he copy your CD's?" Now the answer is no, and nobody will change my mind on that, I just want to know whether you think i'm being a git. The way I see it is that I paid loads for it, built my way from nothing to running a big event in Hastings every month and I don't see why people should be able to take shortcuts. Plus he should buy music he likes. I'm quite offended that he didn't ask me, but someone else did for him, and also that they didn't say "Russell has offered £40 if you'll copy some tunes for him". Which i'd find acceptable... Hummmmmm....

Well if I survived it i'd want everyone to see it... It's only really offensive if it was fatal... Like airing Diana's crash would be distasteful but seeing as he survived and didn't come off too bad in the end then i'd say it's interesting rather than sick!

Half of NMC should have ASBO's for their spelling, grammar and point of posts. No, nobody has one for riding a bike. People get them for being offensive neighbours and terrorist children that burn cars... Not riding bikes.

lol my saying is if it's broke, keep trying until it's unrepairable... well that's my action not my saying..

So we need to design a tough plastic gun that fires golden teeth so we can get a weapon through the airport! lol

happyner year! We in 2007 now! bedutime I think!

HAPYyy new year! Thankfully i shavednt drank beforeI was due to play, only after!

The way I see it: My friend had a Starlet GT Turbo, tuned to around 200bhp - don't ask how - I don't know. This car had great suspension, lowered for racing blah blah... it had electric windows, air con, nice comfy seats... Was generally what most would consider "a good car". My friend then went on to sell this and buy a Polo GT Mk3 - Wind up windows, no air con, crap seats, biscuit wheels, almost raised suspension, no back seats... If he put an Audi 1.8T engine in (seen it before) then I would rather own that than the Starlet. It'd be faster, it would have the old skool appeal... So, he paid £325 for it, allow say 2k for mods. £2,325. Compared to the starlet - £4000 standard, 1.5k on mods... £5500. I'd rather have the Polo. It's like anything - Why mod an 80's Mini around £5k when you could buy a second hand VTS and go faster? Because VTS's are common as muck shite that every other boy racer has, Mini's have great appeal to a lot of people. A fast mini gets more respect from me than a French tin on wheels. IMO IMO IMO IMO****
