July 2, 200916 yr Ya mean, LOUD, as in Huggies jacket? What is a Huggies jacket ...... is it one that is full of baby <deleted>? I don't know that HuggyBear will be happy to be called that! He posted in here once or twice (only) several months ago, but apparently didn't like the company...
July 4, 200916 yr Why is it that every time I itch in that "Special Place" everybody is looking at me??
July 4, 200916 yr Same reason why squirting a lemon always makes a little go in your eye, don't know what the reason is, if you find out please tell me.
July 4, 200916 yr The last word in the Dictionary is Zymurgy. "the branch of chemistry dealing with fermentation, as applied in wine making, brewing etc". Is it a coincidence or is it that the author got pissed and couldn't think of any other words ?
July 4, 200916 yr The last word in my dic is the colloquial expression 'zzz'. (I don't know why - I'll have to sleep on it.)
July 5, 200916 yr ^Mine's the Australian Concise Oxford. I dare say 'zzz' is in the Aussie edition so that we know how to spell it... I know - it would work out better as an Irish joke: Paddy, how do you spell zzz? I don't know Seamus - look it up in the dictionary. Oh right, good idea. How do you spell it?
July 5, 200916 yr Saddened to see that Sir Burr has been banned - the thin ice he was walking on must have cracked...
July 6, 200916 yr Saddened to see that Sir Burr has been banned - the thin ice he was walking on must have cracked... Yes a shame really, but he was trying for that outcome a while back. He's been a member since dec 2004. (I just made a very similar comment in another forum before seeing this Ping )
July 6, 200916 yr Sad as it is, he did make some rather pointed comments about this forum on anther which accepts rather rude rants.
July 6, 200916 yr Sir Burr will rise from the ashes. Does he play Cricket Hehehe...... Not if 11 Englishmen can help it. I left that open for summun......LOL
July 8, 200916 yr SWINE FLU INFECTS COMPUTER Careful with your computers out there folks, I'm currently doing a complete reformat and reinstall of my notebook after it was infected with the Swine Flu virus. What an insidious virus this is, that it can mutate from human to electonic form. At least, I think it's swine flu. All the symptoms were there - slowing down, not wanting to work, being uncooperative when I tried to treat it... I took the precaution of quarantining it from the rest of my home network so that it wouldn't pass its nasty bug onto the other computers, but it looks like I'm in for a busy coupe of days getting it back into its former fit state.
July 8, 200916 yr Sounds like your computer has symptoms of old age Ping, not a virus. The threat of putting it out to pasture and upgrading may shock it into trying better and being more cooperative but, unless you can find the computer equivalent of viagra, its unlikely that its going to perform in the same way as it used to.
July 8, 200916 yr You silly Tiger Why do you think your machine has hardware and software ? Eek is making the valid point that if your hardware is turnig to software, it could easily be a fixable ailment with a simple plug-in. More RAM !!!
July 8, 200916 yr No eek, it's only a whippersnapper - 12 months old. Age is not the problem. Indeed, I think it may be in computer adolescence. And Limpy, 4gb of RAM should be ample. No, I suspect that while I've been out, it's been feeling its oats by associating with some unseemly websites, and probably caught its computer nasty in the process. I know it uses protection (antivirus and firewall), but apparently protection isn't a 100% guarantee of not catching something.
July 8, 200916 yr Tsk tsk naughty pooter. Mine on the other hand (laptop) used to be sleek and sophisticated only just around 4 year ago. Since coming to Thailand it seems to be showing signs of wear and tear and there far superior models out there everywhere. (The first person to apply this to me as a metaphor will receive a massive DOS!!!11 1)
July 8, 200916 yr Have you used soap and water on the little scamp. Ccleaner. Recently cleaned nearly 5Gb out of my blighters dirty little mouth. Mind you, 4 Gig Ram is a big mouth, especially on a notebook. Regards.
July 10, 200916 yr It's cured - only took me a couple of (wasted) days to get it back to its prior form. I've had problems over the years (only three times), but I've been able to cure them with - - a registry edit on the first occasion (after gooooogling the problem and identifying the solution), - a wee program that was specific to the virus (again located by gooooogling) on the second, and - by using Malware Antibytes on the third. On this last occasion, this insidious little virus also attacked Malwares Antibytes so that the program would not start (even after deleting and reinstalling it), so someone had taken considerable pains to create a virus that would be difficult to remove. It also prevented me from restoring a previous registry version by throwing up a false "full or defective disk" issue to the registry restore program. Other things it did included disabling pop-up blockers, opening IE randomly and going to an ad-click site, and preventing surfing to certain (antivirus) sites both with IE and Firefox. So I would say that it was a bit of malware that has been developed and 'improved' over a long period of time. (And neither Defender nor AVG antivirus picked it up.)
