Cheers glad someone knew what I was going on about! I think it is router related, will try your fix as resetting and fiddling with router settings has done nothing. The laptop is about 2 feet from the router and I have a cable but it is the principle lol also can't get Ubuntu to recognise my external HD but I'm guessing that's a formatting problem... If it wasn't such a great OS I would give up plus I like to be different

The Brera is beautiful best looking hatchback by a mile, I was looking at them when I bought my Leon, I was looking at the Diesel model but the whole range is as you say a bit of an underperformer... But then you could say the same about a Zed, it lookszquicker than it actually is. The Alfa would certainly be a lovely place to be, but would you be sat waiting for tha AA man...

Unfortunately it doesn't mean a thing though really does it, as you know my Daughter did the whole thing properly... I was married with 2 kids at 21, that didn't pan out but I have never been happier than I am now Now Dave thats the kind of attitude that makes marriage not mean anything! If it wasn't for marriage you wouldn't get a certificate to prove who holds the keys to your testicle handcuffs. I'm sure the wedding night voucher Dave gave her for '2 hours of Dave lurrrving' made up for the lack of proposal effort 2 HOURS!!!! I'm not Superman

You wish

Nice one, that seems pretty reasonable to me

Just change it for this one

Not at all, would love a mac but a bit ott for what I need it for... Running Linux is best of both worlds, cheap laptop + free O/S that runs everything I want quicker than a £2,000 laptop Just need to get my head back into it all

You can stick them on eBay and post a link, don't think that breaks any rules...

Easy to miss as it is quite small and discreet...

I didn't have to remember as I never put any up in the first place

In a rare moment of romance the conversation with the now future Mrs SpursMadDave went like this... "Do you think we will ever get married" "Not really too bothered..." "Well I would like to get engaged at least, even if we don't get married" "Ok then" "So are you going to buy me a ring" "I guess so" "Well I have seen one I like..." "Ok well you get it and give me the Bill" Ok not a dry eye on the Forum now... Love is a wonderful thing

Cheers fella I have dipped a toe into some forums but it is mind numbing even for a nerd like me I want to keep Ubuntu as it is super duper quick and does everything I want except pick up my wireless signal Might be a router issue though as my Windows 7 PC won't pick up the wireless signal either now... but my iPhone does Bizarre

Kind of off topic but how come you never see white dog poo anymore...

And before you ask it is not a refreshing fruit drink... That's Umbongo

Was it Black or a Black edition Grey one

Ian you should post more btw I got over 30mpg for 2 reasons - 1. the weather was awful, very very wet 2. i currently have no ABS and no traction control

It's the old farts on the road that are the dangerous ones so I think anyone over say 35 should have yearly reviews I'll be doing a 3 day advanced driving course at work next month which should be good, apparently you get some kind of certificate at the end but I don't know if it's IAM or something different. FIGHT! vs

Just wondered if there are any Ubuntu users on here. I used Linux a fair bit at Uni / College back in the day and thought I would try Ubuntu on my laptop, really impressed so far but before I plunge myself into the myriad of Forums... has anybody had this problem - Installed it and it picked up my wifi router no problem, but switched it on this morning and got wireless is disabled, ticked enable wireless and now I get device not ready... it does however appear in Network Connections I really don't want to have to go back to Windows, please don't make me... please

Very true, you can't polish a turd

Hmmm well anything that improves your driving skills is ok with me, shame there isn't more of this kind of stuff in the actual Driving Test I think all drivers under say 25 should have yearly reviews Oh the abuse I will get for that I'm sure all the under 25's on here are GREAT drivers

Bit early to tell as I only had the upRev lunchtime but on my 25 miles trip home mixture of A/B roads and M25 I got just over 30mpg

Like Geoff I was wondering about Insurance... Most don't even give discounts for off road parking etc nowadays the sheisters

You could make a few quid sure, but one wrong un and you would loose all you made on the last 10

Sounds about right to me and shows why you should never take your first quote
