^ what pt said, but i'll add that i have usb 1.1 devices that came with a cmc on it. one of them was my scanner so i presume it is to ensure the scan isn't interfered with as it goes to the comp.

my mobi goes on vibrate or off and calls are not answered. if they're that important they can wait until i get out of the restaurant or cinema. i'll admit i get narky with people who do leave theirs on, but more tolerant of it than i was a few years ago. cinema's here have ads (usually...

the missus was on the pill for about 5 years but stress and elevated blood pressure put paid to that, so it's back to rubbers for us, with a preference for condomi because they are biodegradable and therefore better for our landfill-conscience. at least they aren't busting like they used to...

the bit i though was most interesting was this:

damn mathemetician ;) you need to drive at 30mph to get to 70mph. 30mph is therefore an active part of achieving 70mph. therefore 30mph = 70mph. i'll try it in court when i done for speeding, or mowing down some poor old dear, in a 30mph zone. :nuts2:

bristol is the balloon capital of the uk, if not europe. we've got one of the major manufacturers based in the city and so every year there is a mundo balloon festival in august. my other half is a born and bred bristolian for whom bristolian means balloon-festivals at stupid times of the...

language barriers are easily solved with the well tested british (nee english) in europe technique. shout very slowly in english until you get what you want. ;) or for the full technique follow it up by drinking too much lager, destroy three cafe's, two bars and a taxi and call it...

pulse, no breathing.

with the pissy summer we've had you must be wishing you'd stayed in the philipines with tb :D

i did some uni project work in the less than fair city of swansea, and during one of the research wanders discovered a particularly dodgy looking lane called 'salubrious passage'. very apt. by way of note, whenever i see this thread i am reminded to think of th fine chat up line - 'the word...

perhaps there lies the part the other allies have the problem with, the arrogance of stature that serves to belittle the coalition of armies into 'we did more than you did and you should be damn well grateful until we say otherwise'. the usa provided vital arms, support, troops and knowhow...

an mp select commitee in the uk said the same thing before troops entered iraq - that action there would act as a casting call for extremists. sadly now iraq and terrorism will be forever linked in a way that they weren't before.

i'm a semi-qualified architect for a company in bath. hopefully in a years time i'll have my riba pt 3 anmd can call myself an architect and attract all the wonderous respect and other liabilities that come with the job. 9-6 i design stuff, at the moment its a swimming pool for the local...

sommet like that, i sure ain't a regular here no more. it's nice to see yourself, na and greenie around a little bit, mind, sort of reminds me of why i came here in the first place. i'll try to make an effort...

i lurk a little.

congrats prof

in a manner of speaking yes. fury and a few others set this place up a couple of years after ot was closed at hwc, and not long before the eleventy billionth question at hwc as to where was the ot forum, was it coming back, why wasn't it coming back, it was better when it was there can we have...

i joined in april 2002. i finished a masters, went looking for work abroad. failed in that so came home and got a job at home. moved house, moved house again. i think the only constant is the missus :)

that goal of campbell's should never have been disallowed, bloody ref must have been promised a top villa in the algarve to throw that one... bastard hell maybe in a few days i'll feel more like admitting we deserved it for having the world's most talented midfeild - all of whom were utterly...

spaced is splendid. and now that simon pegg has finished 'shaun of the dead' he is apparently going to be working on a third series. little britain is a radio show that has done well in its recent first series over here. v funny sketch-type-character show, especially vicky pollard the gert...
