No adverts. BTW I really, really can't be bothered doing all as described above. Especially now as my USB ports aren't working and I can't get an external hard drive on the go. If someone wants to do it for me I'll give them lunch and a bottle of wine. EDIT: or money

I hardly ever see any, don't know what you lot are on about. T'was much, much worse in the Elephant when I lived there and Jeez, you ever been to France?

Oh Well, shows how much I know. Thanks for checking. Just googled it myself and apparently it was said as far back as 1639, before Swift, according to dictionary of proverbs. Poss came from the big man himself!

As an added bonus, I've just tried to plug in a memory stick and not one of my four USB ports is working, what the fuck has happened. It's obviously connected.

Having just checked said well known site myself, nobody has mentioned the fact that it (a peck) is a dry weight measurement. When I think of litres I think of liquids. I only know about a peck as for some reason some geezer called Jesus said 'we will all eat a peck of dirt before we die' and it really stuck in my head as a child and I'm sure at the time I was told it was 15 grammes hey ho, and no I didn't have a religious upbringing so I've no dea why that was significant to me.

Hisar?

I was under the impression that a peck was 15grammes, perfectly metric.

When I first looked this morning there was nothing there. I then logged into facebook, came off FB and back to Forum (exciting life I lead) Lo, a pic of me in the OP.

It's great I can now say I'm 170cm tall and 60kgs and none of you will have a clue what that means.

I'm not sure it's just Dulwich, doggy doo doos are a problem everywhere.

sounds like hard work

PC is about 2 yrs old. I think they come with winword if you don't have office installed. If I format, then does everything comes off, all the programs etc?

googletalk / winword / DSAgnt / WLTRAY / All above 10,000k, Firefox is 61,000k, McSheild (McAfee) is 84,000k. I've been running McAfee since I got the machine though.

Is that where you keep yours?

sorry for hijacking your thread Bon

Only going on what Mr. Asset tells me!

Japanese/Sushi/Fish please, enough already with the steaks - go to Franklins or Palmerston if you want a decent slab of meat.

d'you think I need to run it again in safe mode or do I need to uninstall and reinstall the program in safe mode? Shall I uninstall the a-squared program and install AVG instead? I've rebooted since quarantining, text still lagging behind my typing. It's infuriating.

3rd or 10th good for me.

Thank you Sean, The virus scan I ran is McAfee. I downloaded and ran the software (a-squared, AVG no longer free) from the link on the thread you provided. It detected 1 high risk item which I've quarantined. Just waffling at the moment to test the typing. The cursor is still lagging but it does seem marginally better. I'll have to see how often it freezes now. Thanks.

What the heck is wrong with my computer? For no reason it has started freezing all the time when I'm on either Firefox, IE, and Outlook. Ctrl, Alt Del doesn't 'end task' and I have to switch off manually and reboot. As I type the cursor is not keeping up with me, lagging behind and then spurting the text out. I've tried deleting Firefox and reloading it, I've done a disk cleanup, I've done a virus scan. Help boffins.

Never had a problem with Silvester Rd, parcels always there when card left and the delivery woman on our round is fabulously cheery and always rings the bell.

those ghou Much better when it was just dead bodies and a couple of trees......
