Am currently playing the tank game a lot from Wii Play

for some strange reason I'm addicted to it - much as I was playing, and completing, GoldenEye on the n64 just after Xmas (a top present from the mother-in-law - one that brought back the memories of youth

)

I've only seen the pilot, but am looking forward to the series - whenever it finally gets screened on ITV2 here in the UK...

have been told the Sarah Corvus character is pretty good to watch and one of the better things in the series - hope it's true

Hi shimy - good to see you back mate

I think the final cylon may well be Dualla - she is technically an 'Adama' by marriage to Lee (Leoban told Roslin the cylon is Adama), Dualla's first name means resurrection (Anastasia), and if you look back to certain episides early on you can see by here reactions to certain events that she may be hiding something (eg her reaction when the listening device is found in the CIC, listening in on conversations in S2 between Lee and Starbuck) - and as Ron Moore keeps on saying it's not Roslin, Bill or Starbuck it most likely has to be Dualla or Gaeta (can't be Helo - he's the father of the 1st human-cylon child - and everyone else is already a cylon

), so I'll go with Dualla.

(and am prepared to eat humble pie when the final cylon is exposed

)

Oojason! Good to hear from you mate.

Thanks to Moth3r too, for your kind comments.

I've just got a lead on another 'exclusive'. I really hope this comes off!!

Still nothing back from DWR though

Hopefully will be spending a bit more time here now (no - don't all run away

)

If you'd like a hand with PIFing your new creation on when the time comes let me know - only be too happy to help out mate.

^ Was it the screener version of Razor you saw mate?

Am interested in seeing what scenes they are adding back in for the final cut - and also what scenes make it for the 'unrated edition' - if there is indeed a difference between them?

I thoroughly enjoyed Razor (screener version), the FX were top quality for a tv show and it was a nice piece of nostalgia with the addition of the old style Cylons (more scenes to be added in later). The Kendra character was an interesting one - especially towards the end of Razor.

Certainly has kept me interested for the eventual 4th season (c'mon the UK - please screen it first from December/Jan

)

Should be interesting to see how the Flashback minisodes continue to play out too...

^ apparently a 700mb screener version of Razor had made it's way on to a few torrent sites.

A fair few people have seen it - and the reviews so far are quite good

on the Razor Flashback minisodes they are up to episode 5 now - most intriguing plotlines

Computers, eh?

Can I assume it's a single core 1.8 Intel? Like a Pentium 4? Or is it a Core 2 Duo? Also, I'll assume that your graphics chip isn't an ATI or Nvidia. In that case, you don't really hav 200 mb graphics ram. What you've got is an integrated POS graphics chip that's taking 200 mb of system RAM, leaving you with about 1.8 GB of system RAM. You could probably turn off Aero to get a speed boost.

The other question is, what do you consider poor performance? I've personally never seen bad performance from Vista outside of the initial user login (when it sets up the desktop).

apologies - I forgot about my post in this thread - aye it is a single core intel, but it has an ATI Radeon graphics card. The 'Aero' substitute I rarely use as I think it's just a nice gimmick - same as with the sidebar (which seems to be the main cause of the power hogging).

I put Win 2000 on on a dual boot - and that runs very smoothly (as it did on my old P3 2002/3 laptop) - I'll keep both on for now - but at the momoent I can't think of a reason why I'd use Vista over 2000 other than the gimmicks.

Jennifer Ellison can look fine when she doesn't pile on the make-up and over-do the airbrushing - though I don't think her acting ability has come on much since Brookside?

As the photos not showing - they do seem on the large size? - though if you 'right click' on the 'x' you can copy and paste the url onto a page - nice pics

^ I agree mate - I bought a very cheap Toshiba laptop from the US which has Vista Basic on. Rather than upgrade to Premium (about $100/£50) I found a Sidebar that works fine and use 'Visual Task Tips' to provide the 'Aero experience'.

To be honest I'm still tempted to put 2000 (my fave OS from my old P3 laptop) or XP on it and take the Vista off and see how it does. To me Vista is a very memory and processor hog - which is uneccesary as it does nothing special or breathtaking.

I saw the original pilot and wasn't blown away by the quality or plot - but did think it had promise and the deaf sister was interesting character. Am kind of curious to see how David Eick (BSG co-producer) does with the show too.

Haven't watched the re-tooled version of the pilot yet.

May well give the series a go to see how ex-EastEnders actress Michelle Ryan does in the lead role - IMHO she couldn't act for toffee in the BBC soap - though she did well in the BWpilot... hmmnn...

Some of the best sci-fi to appear on tv - really enjoyed watching the series when it was first run on BBC2.

Will make a note to catch it when I'm in - 3pm and 8pm weekdays, 3pm on a Sat and Sunday

Virgin 1 could well turn out to be a decent channel - Sarah Connor Chronicles, The Riches, Star Trek, That 70's Show, Boston Legal, The X Files, old BSG, Takeshi's Castle etc - certainly could be a more than a rival to the now-dreadful Sky 1 channel...

I wasn't too unhappy with getting a point at Portsmouth - a bit of a bogey side for us, and especially difficult playing away in the early kick off after the international break (feel sorry for the away lads who had to get leave Friday night to make it just because of tv times).

Thought we were quite lucky to get a draw vs Porto - still can't make up my mind if we underperformed - or Porto were really up for it and were on form. They had a lot of possession in dangerous places - but thankfully their final pass was off/poor.

The B'ham game for me is the 1st game where I tohught we'd let ourselves down - fair play to Blues for defending well and resolutely - yet even with Torres on the bench I thought that the XI sent out there by Rafa should have been good enough to beat them. Was surprised that Crouch didn't start - as thought he'd be more effective against a team defending their own 18 yard box and not letting any space behind them.

Thought Torres showed his class last night vs Reading - after getting kicked around the floor and no protection from yet another inane ref he really impressed. Think it's about time Finnan and Arbeloa are given a rest - they did lokk a bit heavy legged at stages. Leto looked promising - a nice pass on him, though tired towards the end. Lucas did look class - kept things simple alongside Momo, so some more promising stuff from the younger lads too

Hi Scout - poor Avram, am sure he's had a tough enough week without the ref adding to his woes. To be fair Chelsea did look to play some attacking/flair footy for a change until the unjust sending off and then conceding just before halftime. If, and it is a big if, Chelsea do play with the attacking play and gusto they once did a few years ago they may actually please their Russian owner!

If I were that ref in that game I'd holdfire on buying a lottery ticket at the moment - any decisions and he'd be bound to mess it up

ps - what did you think of our performance vs Brum on Satdee, and the 2 games vs Portsmouth and Porto?

Finally no more 'ghost' goals and him whinging on about how lucky Liverpool or whoever else beat them were

Was quality when he first came over here - though has lost his way perhaps in the way Chelsea have became over-dependent on the long ball to Drogba and Lampard running off him. For £300m no wonder Abramovich expected a little more flair and quality play...
