Just checking everybody is still alive! I was about 10 versions out of date so I thought I better upgrade Glad to see the old place is still going. Keep up the good work LUK. Jack

Thanks boss.

Hope it was a good one mate.

Happy Birthday joe, hope it was a good one. Im always late for everything as you know

Dont worry about being late guys because im even later! haha! =)) Thanks for all your messages. Jack

This kind of stuff is the main reason I have stayed away from this board for a while. I hoped things may have changed, seems not. If I want political rants I will go to one of the huge amount of boards that are set up for that kind of crap.

Didnt see much of Torchwood this time round for a number of reasons, will have to get it when it's released on DVD. Saw the first episode of Dr Who this weekend and wasnt over impressed to be honest. Wasnt a big fan of Donna and can see me getting very fed up by the end of the series. With Martha and Rose making an apearance the Tardis could be getting a little crowded again, it use to be common for the Dr to have 2,3 or even 4 companions but i'm not keen on it. One fit woman is all he needs!

Thanks from me as well LUK.

Happy birthday LUK! Havent been around much lately and missed lots of birthdays but i'm only a little bit late for the most important one!! Hope you had a good one

Billie's back! Fresh from waving her baps about in The secret diary of a callgirl Billie Piper is to return in series 4!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/n.../27/51031.shtml

They are usually to be found running for president.........

Hah! It was shit this year! Had a great season last year, scored a shitload of runs and i've been just shit this year! Been too busy coaching the kids to practice so my form was rubbish. Won the league though and got promoted. Glad you are both ok.

Nah, we dont work that hard!!

Alright Blu, yeah no probs with the rugger. We got closer than you bloody convicts anyway!! How are you mate? Fiery still giving you hell?? I have a new job now as an Ambulance driver and the hours are bloody long so i'm hardly at the keyboard at all these days. Good fun though, most of the time you get paid to sit round and drink tea and read the paper!!

i remember a particular time when you invented an ingenious way to get rid of crc errors That sounds like a load of crap to me......................

You could also use Micheal Caines from Zulu: "Dont point that bloody spear at me!"(Mind you, I think I may have made that one up!! ) Ah right, sounds like it could be fun. How about something from Marvin the paranoid android? "Why stop now just when i'm hating it?" "Incredible... it's even worse than I thought it would be." " Freeze? I'm a robot. I'm not a refrigerator." "Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to take you to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction, 'cause I don't." Trillian: Marvin... you saved our lives! Marvin: I know. Wretched, isn't it? And a classic from Arthur Dent:"It must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays." I feel the same you know................

Now are these going to be used as error messages or warnings? If they are then theres no one better than HAL 9000 from 2001, he has some great lines in the context of a computer program: "Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye." "Everything's running smoothly." "I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this before." "I think you've improved a great deal." "Just a moment. Just a moment." "It can only be attributable to human error." Theres a load of them HERE in audio form. And another classic: “Good. For a moment there, I thought we were in trouble.” Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Maybe Obi-Wan: "Use the force Luke!" "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" is my favourite but how you would find a use for that I dont know!!!

I see no reason why you shouldnt carry on playing, I find it only mildly intresting as I gave up chess a long time ago as i'm crap at it but I would much rather read this than some of the narrow minded political rants that we have had on here. keep playing guys, I want to see the Aussie lose!!

More news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/ I kind of like the thought of Dr Who winning a Hugo award, that ranks it alongside Dune, Ringworld, Stranger in a Strange land and most of Arthur C. Clarke's stuff. Nice!
