Woe unto her who relies on a dialup connection and a free download manager (and doesn't regularly back up her files because lame pathetic Vista won't resize the backup partition), for she shall find that the stupid FDM has decided that it can't restart the download which has already taken a month to get to 60% and overwritten the file starting at ... 0%.
If I hadn't recently paid a dentist a lot of money to tell me to stop grinding my teeth I would be ... oh, what's the use!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR writ large.
And may Bill Gates spend eternity in a room with lots of Windows and a beautiful Vista.
Kitty, I've had a similar problem with my iPod - it refused to connect so i reset it and then it crashed half way through reinstalling all the music! Trouble is it had over 100 GB on it so it takes hours. I'm going to leave it running all day, i think and see how far it gets this time. |

Hi BBM, It's a 160GB Classic (how appropriate!) - I had about 10,500 pieces on it, it's gone up slghtly as i've ripped a few more CDs recently - probably about 11,000...This is, of course, when it actually updates properly!  |

It should do. I have the Apple Classic. Not sure on the GBs though but it holds 20000 songs. I have just over 4000 on it at the moment. Steadily choosing whoch cds to upload. Great when we went on holiday recently. Had Mahler, Brahms, an assortment of light music and brass ofcourse! |

I've just discovered that Heroes - Oxford's best sandwich shop - is under new management. Worse, all my favourite specials are gone and I'm not sure how I can reconstruct them à la carte. This chicken and mozzarella thing is bland-o-rama. A long period of experimentation lies ahead.
Change is confusing and upsetting.

I have stopped buying readymade sandwiches as they have increased so much in price one is often more than I spend on my evening meal. I have just had a freshly baked pain rustique (.45p), with a piece of strong cheddar (.60p) and an apple (.18). Grand total = £1.23

My hot chicken and swiss ciabatta used to be a bit more than that, Anty, but it was my one weekly luxury. Now I'm paying the same for less luxury  |

There comes a point when pizzas are too big. I tried (and moreover failed ) to eat one today that was almost the size of the country from whence it came! Barely fitted on the plate.. Nice though  |

I tried (and moreover failed ) to eat one today I always look at a pizza and think "I'll never eat all that" but I do  As witnessed last night (and Martle knows the size of the particular one I had) but I only ever have ones with thin bases, I think a thick based one would defeat me. I like your new avatar btw. |

I like your new avatar btw. I finally gave up on pizza some years ago. Two slices of even a thin base and I'm full. They look tempting, smell tempting but I guess I've got a pizza cut-off point And I loved the American Hot <sigh> |

Nevermind the countryside Now Mort has made me feel a glutton for scoffing a pizza last night which was too big to fit inside my 12" pizza pan. Yes, I ate last night a 14" round pizza! All by myself. Marty, I just knew. I just knew. |

I feel better for sharing that But remember Mort, I stride the fields, dodging 350kg Limousins, Herefords and Continental Crosses and Belgian Blues (which are now to be called British Blues would you believe?) in me smock and trousers held up with baler twine, every minute I could be tossed into the river by mad cattle. I have to keep my energy levels up in case I may have to leg it, that is where Pizza comes in handy. I do always have a spare slice in me hessian smock me dear, the Pepperoni do stain somethink dreadful. |
