Surely that should read "Me and Anne Widdicombe" Atila. If I were answering that question, I'd rule myself out first.

Apparently Tiger was always open about his flings - he often told his wife in advance when he off to play a round.

Like that goal against Argentina when 17.....poor in open play??? (albeit pre injuries). I do see Matt's point though, without his pace he now sits on the last defender. Not generally an all round player.

Honest.

As I say Quids, they structured it beautifully to minimise any financial exposure. But referring to it as a gamble is not just financial, if he had gotten injured again and never played, or played and done badly, it would have looked like a bad idea. And there was the local rival factor, there is a risk with how the fans react to buying an ex Liverpool player. Now MU however clearly have the bragging rights on this one.

i dont think anyone could argue owen was not a gamble in view of his recent injury record . But one where MU structured it to minimise the financial downside and it seems to have paid off for player and team.

Even men are now calling up to say that they have had sex with Tiger Woods. This is one example - just listen to this commentator towards the end of this clip, he's having some of tiger for sure. (For non golfers 1min20secs is the relevant part - "Here it comes...oh my goodness.....oh whaaoooo")

Snowy ones are nice - But if I had cricket out my window I'd draw the curtains.

I did look at your suggestion Mockney - the salt and pepper pots looked good but with wires and I'm going to experiment with the no wires version to see how it goes. Bobs wireless ones were good too but were ?44 each and tiny and when they start saying you can use up to 40 at once without interference I could see the cost mounting up.....

That's enough Rafa bashing Matthew - you know we don't like that on this forum.

Well I tracked them down to pixmania after about 30 sites that were out of stock. Pixmania I'll let you know if they 1) arrive and 2) work! Thanks for help.

Hal - do you queue up at William Rose for the steak and then go home and freeze it before you cook it? Or, do you go to Iceland.

You already have a cool hat Hal.

Quids pulls jersey over head and runs round front room..... Mrs Quids rolls eyes.

My recent discovery is to leave the steak out for a couple of hours to make sure it is room temp before you start cooking - that way you can cook it rare without it being cold in the middle. I use a hot griddle plate - sits on top of the gas burners, make sure its very hot before putting steak on. I still get it wrong quite a lot as the missus like hers more cooked than mine and it can be hard to get both right - obviously its most important to get her steak right than mine (otherwise I can't enjoy my own, even if its perfect)...

Thanks for all your "inputs". Will look at all suggestions later - unfortunatley the product I want seems to be out of stock everywhere. Mick.

Thanks Sean - but yes I was hoping to keep it cable free in the kitchen, but will revert to that if speakers don't operate properly. In any event an mp3 cable comes with the speakers for direct plug in if needed, and can do same for lap top if bluetooth does not work out. Thanks.

Amazingly we don't have a decent existing hi fi. My wife would like one for christmas, but even then it would be in a different room from where I normally use the computer (in the kitchen). Before I buy these speakers how would I know they produce decent volume - I guess I need to take it on trust?

I recently bought a new laptop - Dell Inspiron? I am very disappointed with both the sound quality and volume. Have played around with the internal settings to no avail. Someone suggested stand alone speakers and I have progressed to the concept of wireless speakers, that operate from a bluetooth dongle, which comes supplied with the speakers. My question is that when buying speakers I used to look for wattage as a guide to good sound quality being maintained at higher volumes - the speakers I am looking at are "active" speakers, is this the reason there is no wattage quoted? and could the poor volume level from my laptop be translated to the speakers, thus limiting their output? Reviews suggest these speakers produce good quailty sound, but want to be sure they produce decent volume, otherwise I'm back to square one. Words of wisdom would be helpful. Thanks.
