Hopefully you have it sorted by now but I'm on my way home from town and will have a look when I get in.

Its Disk Utility Conor you should be able to see the drive in there and be able to mount it, I had some problems with my Windows formatted drive it would read it but I couldnt write to it.

Fingers crossed you get it sorted. Times like these when having The Wire on boxset would come in handy

[Trippie]

Live just across the road from Newbridge house and Demense. Bored senseless today so obviously put on the cowboy boots and went over and spent the afternoon there. Every inch of it untouched. Not any other footprints or tire marks anywhere for acre and acre. Built a 9 ft snowman right in the middle of the path for shits and giggles. Good times

This post about Samuel Eto'o from boards might be the worst thing I've ever read.

CHD put it best yesterday:

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur e Eto'o helped Inter to a domestic treble, including a first European Cup in 45 years, but could he do it week in, week out against the likes of stoke or blackburn? I'm not so sure.

[Raoul Duke III]

Hi lads,

the search for Blathnaid is ongoing and I've set up a Facebook group here (without really knowing what I'm doing, lol)

the focus is on finding a black Mercedes taxi which picked her up at 8pm on Tuesday last from Sir John Rogerson's Quay, you've probably seen the photo in the media. The viedo link is here.

If you know any taxi drivers who drive a black Merc, please ask them if they have any information. This is extremely urgent.

Thanks,

RDIII

p.s. any story that you read in the Evening Herald today is pure speculation and should be treated as such.

Andy Gray - It is borderline about the wee man. The boy can play but can he play in the Premier League?

Jamie Redknapp - He is literally a top, top player and kicks the ball in the net and thats how he gets his goals. Could do a job for Spurs.

Richard Keys - *smiles and stares at camera*

Fireworks And Fear Mar Independence Day Celebrations for "code-talking" Irish Brother and Sister
Fri Jul 5, 7:01 AM ET
By Sam Hudson

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Fear and fireworks marked the first U.S. Independence Day since Sept. 11, with military jets in the skies and anti-terrorism troops on the ground guarding Americans determined to celebrate the Fourth of July.

Despite government warnings of the potential for a new attack, millions of people overcame their nerves and congregated at massive, traditional fireworks displays in major cities on the most patriotic date in the U.S. calendar.

But, reflecting a sometimes schizophrenic way of life that has emerged since hijacked planes slammed into U.S. landmarks and killed thousands of people, the State Department had also urged Americans worldwide to avoid crowded places because of possible suicide strikes.

At one such fireworks display in Springfield, Illinois, a Gaelic-speaking brother and sister were detained by anti-terrorist police for apparently speaking in 'code'.

LIKE A MOVIE

Michael (20) and Sharon (23) O'Toole, of Cobh, in Cork County, Ireland, are fluent speakers of the Irish language. While on vacation from college in Ireland, they were attending the fireworks display in downtown Springfield. They were talking between themselves when FBI officials swooped.

"We were just commenting on the fireworks to each other when these guys in suits showed us their badges and swept us off in a large SUV. It was like something from a movie.", said Michael to reporters

FBI anti-terrorist agents became suspicious of the pair when they noticed them alternately speaking in fluent English and a "code" language not recognised to be of Eastern or European origin. Agents had been given special training in linguistics in the weeks running up to the holiday.

The pair were released, without charge, after Irish consulate officials confirmed their identities.

Oh all mighty BBV.

Is there such thing as "buying" a donation to a homeless charity.

For example I donate money, they give me a card saying a donation has been made in "girlfriends name" amd I give that to the girlfriend.

WTF? My laptop screen has just turned into a mess of high contrast colours. Neon greens and pinks instead of the normal stuff.

Lots of "fuzz" too where there should be flat matte colour.

Any idea what it is and what I can do to fix it? Renders poker pretty much impossible.

Could it be a graphics card issue?

Edit to say that it occurs even before Windows loads, BIOS screen all messed up too

[Raoul Duke III]

Glyn,

I think you should change the settings on the group. It would seem that when you ask to join the group you have to wait for approval from the administrator. This is not ideal for you as when say I join a group it will then immediately appear in my news feed on my facebook page. It will still appear once approved but I doubt you will be sittiing near a PC to approve requests as they come in. As people join the group you want it to appear on their news feed asap, ultimately this is what you want and you dont want a simple thing like group permissions standing between getting the group to spread across FB asap. It will also ease your workload as I am sure you have many other things to dedicate your time to.

I really hope this takes a turn for the better asap. I ask myself how difficult it could be to locate a taxi but I guess I now know. Fingers crossed for you and the family.

Noel.

Classic case of corrupted graphics card RAM. It can be caused by overheating. Leave it off for an hour or so and see if the problems goes away. Otherwise, I hope it's in warranty.

Cheers, kinda looking for the Philips one though.

Thats a pretty cool site though. You have any dealings with them?

yeah it is, all of 3 months old. In Scotland though, bleugh. Had planned to get some serious poker in on the snowy days here.

Guess I'll have to think of another money making scheme.

Its a HP laptop, and I thought when buying it "HP's are fairly unreliable, but I'll treat it well...".

So much for that.

On this note... I am extremely displeased with my HP laptop after less than 2 years (though I do leave it on for 16 or more hours a day).

Bought a pretend sword barbecue skewer thing off them for my dad last year.
