  1. More a case of www.torent.com as opposed to www.torrentz.com

    More a case of somebody making their first post on a forum being immediately dissed by two members with nearly 30,000 posts between them in a pompous and patronising fashion. " These newbies eh jing, nudge nudge, wink wink". Here was somebody, who was obviously enthusiastic about the topic under discussion and wanting to get involved, being treated with disdain. Maybe he made an honest mistake with the link he quoted, who knows. Not everybody is perfect. But he or she will probably think twice before making another contribution, and who could blame them. Well done both of you.

    You're wrong about me. I have nothing against newbies. I like newbies. But that was a dodgy post. Sorry, it was. Newbie or no newbie. BTW, I don't think there actually ARE any torrents for that movie that don't involve downloading software and paying a service fee.

    If you bothered to check my posting history (if you have a year or two of spare time) you will see that on countless occasions I have written very long helpful posts, especially in the visa section, often to total newbies. Like, I said, I like newbies. I suggest you think a little harder before insulting people unfairly.

    I fully accept what you and mca are saying. No unfair insults were intended i can assure you, not my style, but if that is how it is perceived i apologise to you both. All i was trying to do was to put myself in the poor guys shoes, making my first post, probably thinking long and hard about it first, we have all been there. Then after taking the plunge, within a few minutes of posting getting two comments like that. You have to admit it was a bit unfair to put it mildly. I think i would have been a bit miffed and disappointed to say the least.. Thats all. Hope that clears things up. I may well follow up your suggestion re checking your posting history jingthing. If i set aside an hour a day how many years would you estimate it would take? Bear in mind that i am not a young man! ;)

  2. There are two Halloweens in my mind. The American version with something called trick or treat ??? And the U.K. version "Penny for the guy"

    "Penny for the guy' is not Halloween, it's bonfire night, celebrated on 5th November, "commemorating" the failure of an early fundamentalist religious act of terrorism, which was a plot to blow up the British House of Commons in 1604.

    In some parts of the UK it is still tainted with sectarianism, especially in the Northern Ireland, but it is most definitely not Halloween.

    Absolutely correct sharecropper. The leader of the "gunpowder plot" which was an attempt to blow up the British house of commons was a gentleman named Guy Fawkes. Some of us are of the opinion that he was probably the only person ever to enter parliament with honest intentions.

  3. I saw them renovating the place a number of days back, looked like it was going to be good. Anymore reports?

    Walked past the other day after leaving Friendship who had sold out of the bread i usually buy. Aah i thought, a new French bakery, just the ticket. Popped in and asked what bread they had. "No have bread" was the reply. " You mean you have sold out?" "No sell bread" So we have a French bakery that does not sell bread! Priceless. Only in Thailand!

  4. Heard he has got an acting job somewhere

    Rumours emanating from the UK suggest he has been headhunted by the BBC. Jeremy Paxman having gone on a sabbatical, the legendary "Hammer" will be filling in for him presenting Newsnight and University Challenge. Does anybody have any confirmation of this?
