'Tis 1.8 Intel, with 2gb ram (uupgraded) and 200mb integrated graphics - which 'should' handle Vista Basic easily. For the speed and user friendliness of Vista I shall be going back to previous OS quite soon.

For some reason I did find Vista Premium runs quicker than Basic - though as I couldn't find a permanant (cough) way of upgrading the OS I reverted back to Basic.

Computers, eh?

^ 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...

One night, after a couple had retired for the night, the woman became aware that her husband was touching her in a most unusual manner.

He started by running his hand across her shoulders and the small of her back He ran his hand over her breasts, touching them very lightly.


Then, he proceeded to run his hand gently down her side, sliding his hand over her stomach, and then down the other side to a point below her waist.

He continued on, gently feeling her hips, first one side and the other. His hand ran further down the outside of her thighs.


His gentle probing then started up the inside of her left thigh, stopped and the returned to do the same to her right thigh.

By this time the woman was becoming aroused and she squirmed a little to better position herself.
The man stopped abruptly and rolled over to his side of the bed.


"Why are you stopping darling?" she whispered.


He whispered back, "I found the remote."

An Al Qaeda guerrilla, desperate for water, was plodding through the desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he walked toward the object, only to find a little old Jewish man at a small stand selling neckties.

The Arab asked, 'Do you have water?'

The Jewish man replied, 'I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5.'

The Arab shouted, 'Idiot Jew! Israel should not exist! I do not need an overpriced tie. I need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first.'

'OK,' said the old Jew, 'it does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the water you need. Shalom.'

Muttering, the Arab staggered away over the hill.

Several hours later he staggered back, near collapse.


'Your brother won't let me in without a tie.

cheers for the heads-up JarJead - am going to try and get hold of the book.

I thought the film was very engaging - a vision of England not too off in the future that you could easily envisage - given the way politics and liberties in this is country has been going over the few years.

Tis certainly a film I'll be watching again tp ick up on any subtleties I may have may missed on the 1st viewing...

Apparently there is a 'sneak preview' for it on July 10 during something called 'Eureka' on Sc-Fi, whilst the actual Razor tv-movie will be aired sometime in November...


Am eagerly looking forward to the 4th and final season of BSG - such a long way off though

The UK have been used as targets for terrorists for 30+ years - so it's not a new thing for us living here.

Not sure we have been hit hard - yes, it is pretty worrying that these people have come close to their aims - but they have fecked it up so far...


TheCassidy - what do you mean by remove their base from underneath them? (I am a bit lost on this)

Arnie.D - seems one of the people arrested is from Iran, have no details of nationalites of any others arrested at the mo.

Weshallpreserve - what do you mean by 'just show what needs to be done.' - be more vigilant?

Could it have been Michael in the coffin? (Walt would pretty much have to be still on the island for him not to come to the funeral - yet I imagine no-one would be rushing to go to Michael's funeral after his actions...)

^ Gaillard has since distanced himself from saying that we are the worst fans in Europe - he's just realised that stealing flags from lamposts is not quite up there with killing a policeman, stabbing rival fans, throwing motorcycles off the top tier of a stadium, being thrown out of the UEFA Cup, throwing flares and lighters at players and refs, racist chanting, charging riot police etc.


Incidentally AC Milan fans have a couple of those banners he is on about being stolen too, as do people selling them on ebay in Greece. Gaillard also failed to mention that Police also fired tear gas the Milan end of things as well. No mention of the security failing to stop that nutter who ran the length of the pitch to confront Reina in the Final - wtf were the stewards and security doing? just watching it seems?


Unfortunately mud sticks - and Gaillard - hiding behind this unpublished 25-incident dossier has thrown so much it is obvious he is using it to detract from UEFA's organisational failings. Yet the damage is done - unfortunately people still believe what is written and jumped upon by the tabloid press - and once again Liverpool fans are painted as thugs and hoodlums...

^ 'tis a tough one - I thought she was referring to getting back to Sawyer too - though I couldn't come up with another character that no-one would attend the funeral of (maybe Sayeed as a long shot - though he'd have been buried in Iraq?)


Anyone on ideas on who was in the coffin?

I think Charlie didn't escape from the the water 'rushing in' as it would only be a matter of time before one of Des vision's would not be able to save him. This way, he would die with everyone thinking he was a hero (something which had a profound meaning to him when he confronted the mugger in his flashback) - and also that he thought everyone would be saved - inc Claire and Arron - if he did die this time around. If he hadn't died would his actions have someohow prevented everyone else from leaving?

Very Spock-like death for Charlie - the needs of many outweighed the needs of the one.


I thnk it was Sawyer in the coffin - no-one came to the funeral - probably because no-one knew his name? Would explain why Jack thought Kate may have gone to it too?


Very interesting and entertaining few hours of tv - if only more shows could muster up this quality...
