          Thanks Mick, sounds perfect for me - would you know if they open in the evenings or do they finish up at 6?

                    Are you still on course for the Berkeley move? That will be phenomenal if you can organise the funding for it!
                    Funding fell through last week. I'm gutted - quite fancied a two year stint in California.

                    My boss wants me to apply for the Marie Curie scheme next year, so still hoping to get to the States in the next few years. People in NYU, Georgetown and Berkeley are keen to have me over, so funding is the only obstacle.

                        Sorry I must have been late to the party, i got mine at 17.11pm and appears to have gone now.

                        Dispatch estimate for these items: 8 July 2011 - 18 July 2011
                        1 "Iomega eGo III 1TB Portable Compact USB 3.0 External Hard Drive with Belt - Silver"
                        Electronics; £36.09

                        Might be a misprice anyway.

                          Yeah these are more along the lines of what I was thinking, prob go to eatery120, like the look of the menu there.

                                  You probably cant uninstall it so do a system restore to before the IE9 install.

                                      IE9 is like a pisstake from Microsoft, to see how bad they can make something and yet the public will still use it.

                                      Installed the same IE9 update as you a few weeks ago, and its finally (about 5 years after people here said it) got me to use Firefox.

                                          Talking about PCs mine was running horridly slow for the last few nights and I noticed that explorer.exe (my desktop) was gradually robbing CPU until it was up to 70% preventing anything else running.

                                          Looked on the Internet for a few hours last night (most of which was spent rebooting as explorer.exe would freeze the machine after a few pages of reading).

                                          Seems its a known problem with Vista but no-one was clear on the solution and different things worked for different people.
                                          Suggested solutions ranged from the plausible (remove broken shortcuts from the desktop, remove indexed searching on the C:\) to the unlikely (change task bar setting from on-top to hidden) to the timeconsuming (install process monitor to find out which registry key is getting used, then use some other process to see program that registry key relates to) to the malevolent (remove all anti-vurus and download notatrojan.exe from my webpage).

                                          And the solution which finally worked for me was so bizarrely unlikely that I nearly didn't bother with it - I changed my desktop from Medium Icons to Large Icons, explorer.exe immediately went back to 0.01% and everything running fine since.

                                          Strange stuff, might make sense to zod or someone.

                                              Rapidshare links seem to be getting updated less than before. A lot of people are switching to fileserve from what I can see. I can't say for definite though and I still have a few months of RS left to use anyway so I'll be waiting until then before switching.

                                                  depends on what sites you're using, and if you're just looking for new stuff or browsing for old stuff also.

                                                  rapidshare for me anyway.

                                                  edit to add hotfile is dead now- not worth going there

The fact that my kid would have to sit exams at 11 to decide her whole future. The people themselves are great and I've been treated great there - objections are purely philosophical.
                                                        Where do kids decide their future at 11? surely not England. We all chose our subjects in 3rd year at school and sat exams in 4th year of high school. I can't imagine England being THAT different.

                                                                                The wind will be a factor obviously but ae Dublin goal early in the second half would kill it

There's no excusing that. People trying to get across to a shop on the other side of the street are an unfortunate reality of busy shopping centre/shopping street environments though.

                                                                                        they used to do the 11+ when my parents were at school but was scrapped. It just decided what school you went to. there were secondary schools and senior secondary schools. A bit like the drumcondra tests they do here except they don't do them every year.

                                                                                        The boys secondary school here St Eunans has an exam to get into it. I think its a horrible thing to do to children if all your friends get in and you don't

                                                                                        What don't you like about A levels? it's just taking the education a bit higher is it not? In Scotland they now have GCSE exams to bring them into line with England and they do Highers and sixth year studies. If you get good grades in your SYS exams you can enter Uni at the second year.

                                                                                        the Scottish system was too far ahead of the English that they changed our system to bring it into line. I would say that the fact that the exam results were higher and we could get into English Uni's ahead of the English would not have gone down well as the English couldn't do the same as they didn't have as high a standard of education.

                                                                                                                  2025: Sorry for blocking up your laptops or mobile screens there, but I just couldn't find the urge to edit out too much of what Jack Nicklaus was saying there. Stunning. Wisdom. A lesson for us all in anything we do in life - "Just believe in yourself, play within yourself, understand yourself, understand what you can do, and do what you can do." Sweetness.

                                                                                                                  2023: More words from Jack Nicklaus. "When I saw him at Muirfield Village (two weeks ago) I hadn't seen him since The Masters. I just said 'I'm sure that you learned from your mistakes and what happened. Don't worry about that. We all make mistakes'. All good players have to make mistakes before they can have successes. Sometimes it's better to have mistakes because if you only have success all of a sudden if you make mistakes you can't figure out why you made them. Pressure is what you live for - you want to have pressure on you. You don't want to come down to the last hole needing to make par to finish 20th. You want to come down to the last hole with pressure on you to win. Everyone is going to put pressure on you. If you are going to be successful you're going to have pressure, so you just have to learn to live with that, deal with that, and to handle it yourself. And we all handle it differently. I would hope he learned from his mistakes." And on mistakes he made in 1963 at the British Open when he lost by a shot after going in a bunker on the last: "I have kicked myself for almost 50 years for blowing that tournament, but I knew why I did it. That was my question to him. You made some mistakes and I hope you figured out why you made those mistakes, why you did something that didn't follow what you normally do."

                                                                                                                  2029: With McIlroy and Yang half an hour from teeing off, I'd like to offer you some sweet words from 18-major winner Jack Nicklaus talking about meeting Northern Ireland's star in the making. "I like his moxie - I suppose that is the right word. I like the way he carries himself. We talked about the things I did when I was playing. He was worried about that he couldn't finish and couldn't win. I said not to worry about it. Instead of shooting 36 or 37 the last nine holes one day you'll shoot 32 or 33 and win. Keep playing; keep your nose to the grindstone. You don't have to try to push something to happen. One day it will just happen, if you keep working at it and trying. Just believe in yourself, play within yourself, understand yourself, understand what you can do, and do what you can do. That was the basic message."A basic message? Brilliant. I'm sure those words are resonating right through his rumbling tummy right now.


                                                                                                                  Hopefully those words will just add to the pressure. I've nothing against Rory McIlroy except my money.
