Re: I got scammed

not anti-virus but worth installing, if only to see who is trying to put cookies on your computer (though you can tell it to block them), os Ghostery. You'd be amazed how much 3rd party shite is put on your computer, even from 'reputable' websites. Happily TW doesn't put loads of cookies on your PC :D

Re: E-Readers

I recommend the Kindle too. The missus and I have one each and we keep them registered to the same Amazon account. This means we can both read the same books, even at the same time (syncing wouldn't work properly if both reading at same time I think, but I don't bother with those features anyway). I...

Re: Papering over the cracks?

I think once the emotions of yesterday settle it wont seem quite so bad. A little perspective... 1. Whatever happens, this season is an improvement over the last few. 2. This season we have had some hope, a possibility of better things to come, a reason to smile. 3. Coyle took on a huge job and hasn...

To be honest, AT, I've never heard of this Android jobbie. However, I do know that our phone contract's up for grabs soon. Is that my turn coat I see hanging by the door? :wink: Certainly worth checking out as a serious iPhone alternative. Android is Google's open source mobile OS. It has been arou...

I'm not sure why there seems to be some sort of competitiveness here. When people make threads about computer games and suchlike I just dip out as they're of no interest to me, but fair play to those to which they are - knock yourselves out. Perhaps those of you that don't have iPhones can possibly...

A word of caution on the 'official unemployed figures'. I suspect both parties have been guilty of this but Labour have been particularly adept at masking the true number. With their myriad of status and benefits/credits etc there is a significant number that are unemployed but don't figure in the o...

Pretty sure I heard of a scam along these lines a while back. I rented in and around London for 15 years or so and was never asked to do the western union thing. That was both private and estate agent lets.

I'd stay well clear of it mate
