dump the lot
every last stadium
every last track
every last training facility
every last 'hospitality' facility
nothing in all that Government spending that will benefit any child / athlete north of Milton Keynes
. . . and let's face it, would be worth doing to hear that whining fool Coe's reaction <evil grin>
zip code approximation? since I live in the UK that's approximate in the sense of the correct flippin' hemisphere ?
as I run NoScript I had to allow it to run in the first place, & then it could only locate sites that I trust (e.g. Reg) and then only the top page
it couldn't even list my bank (a very big one) and I visit that pretty much every day
this site is a waste of electricity
as a dedicated 100% non-PB user all of this is noise in the system, I'd simply say let's face the REAL basic truth here . . . (these are UK scenarios, OK?)
CD revenue has tanked because ;
1) the supermarkets have driven the retail price down from £16 - £18 per unit to £7 - £9 each
2) the labels went to sleep & let Apple steal their revenue stream
DVD revenue has tanked because;
3) retail price point is no longer >£25 each (see #1 above idiots)
4) rentals are cheap, real cheap (BTW are you awake yet Sky? no?? thought not!)
simple basic economics, ignore the market trends and your balls get crushed
but at the end of the day they must be immensely profitable to waste millions on lawyers, so do I worry about the poor darlings? nah
do buy their 'products'? nup"
am I interested in their latest 'pop sensation'? PMSL not really
that having been said - please keep going PB, I do need something to watch with my beer & popcorn and you provide GREAT soap opera :)
and some good user scripts sorts this (plus all the usual FF protections)
PS "Farm Town developer SlashKey warned users to ignore the ads but failed to suspend third-party adverts"
and do you REALLY think that the developers give a flying f**k about this? robbing sc*m bags the lots of 'em
> and businesses still can't guarantee all their business critical applications will run perfectly in Windows 7 due to the large changes in technology between the two versions
that will be a business with out any sort of BC or DR plan then?
those sort of f**k wit run businesses deserve to fail
(and that's not just the small / medium sized ones either, just ones without any kind of effective audit oversight board = so most banks then!)
> DOS based accounts system than 2K did.
Jesus mate, sounds like you're letting the bloody bean counters decide IT strategy, get another job quick would be my advice !
I say this as a qualified accountant (originally)
PS i think Win7 rocks, just wait until you try XP on new HW where the XP drivers are written by the new PFY - let's check back then as to how you think that is still a good idea ;)
ah Mr Gordon INAM,
well it is because we are all TOTALLY sick of being referred to "climate change denyers" . . we just want science not spin, so yes we are highly sceptical that we are having the wool pulled <again> but what is _wrong_ with that?
If you think I'm wrong, ask anyone seeking research funding . . . and ask them how they have to add a climate change angle to any research to get funding . . . and if they go for the contrary view they'll get b*gger all
it is about time someone applied the brakes to the massive Climate Change Industry
"Climate change sceptic" . . why are they "sceptics", why not "scientists"?
. . . are you a paid employee of the "climate change industry" - ah yes that will be it (see scarastic name calling works both ways)
P.S. before making smart ass comments I suggest you go look at the data which bit by bit is being reluctantly squeezed out of these b*ggers - do you know how FEW carefully selected samples this is all based on? thought not . .
I listened to a senior director on the Jeremy Vine show yesterday (yes, I'm sorry, I know that JV is a right PIA) . . this bloke spouted the most unbelievable bullshit.
The show had several calls from people who were stuck on these trains, this director dismissed these as 'hearsay'.
The show's resident lawyer rang in to point out that these were 'eye witness accounts' not hearsay and as such were permissible as evidence in a normal court of law.
All in all I don't think Eurostar or Eurotunnel give a flying whatsit about their passengers. I know myself and the family suffered from the second major lorry fire closure about 3 years ago. This was after the 1st and would 'never happen again due to improved incident handling procedures'.
All in all a right set of twunts.
let me just say that I always believed him - common sense really to me, as a 25 year qualified accountant, 10 serving CFO & cynical Yorkshireman to boot
I hope he hangs everyone of these twunts out to dry
for all the reasons involving journalists (note the lack of 'profession' here) may I say that I NEVER EVER buy a newspaper, sorry Sarah but your fellow journos are a bunch of right &$%@s and should be on the dole & some in prison meeting a nice man in the showers who has has own bar of soap :)
