Hi, Western Digital have sent me a new drive to replace one that has got faulty sectors and I'm wondering whether it's worth trying to get a copy of Windows 7 to load instead of using XP again? I've never used Windows 7 and just see the adverts on TV for it, but is it worth installing over XP? Thanks Vijay

Dunno about you lot but I could not be less interested. So thought I'd start a thread with 101 things I'd rather do than watch the royal wedding...I'll start us off, over to you for other random stuff you'd rather do than watch 1. Straighten the blades of grass in the local park 2. Watch paint dry 3. Event time travel machine

Is anybody else worried that all their personal info including credit card and purchase details has been nicked by some hackers and probably sold to Nigeria? I'm not worried myself but it has pee'd me off, not to mention that the networks been down for ages.

I have huge respect for the Royal Wedding and A day for all the people of Britan to be proud. A great day for us and all the people who choosed to watch from all over the world. Plus a great day for our soliders in action and at home a day to be proud of being British.Wishing the happy couple all the best in there new lives together:clover::pint:

well....I`m amazed at what i found out today!!! I was cutting a tree down in my garden and as i was picking the branches up i noticed a birds nest on the floor and 3 chicks had fell out and also a little blue egg!!! I picked them all up and placed them back in the nest and put them back in the rest of the tree that was still up.... me being a big nature lover was worried that the parents would abandon them and my girlfriend was moaning that cause i`ve touched them the parents wont come back, well thats not true! i set my camcorder up in the tree and left it going for a few hours, i`ve just watched it and within 6 mins both the parents came back and started feeding…

Even better if you mute it !! [YOUTUBE]HkrmVhGq6vg[/YOUTUBE]

OMFG I had a tenant have a domestic two months back, Police smashed the door in. I had to pay £650 to put a new door in as they were both on the dole (both worked when they initially rented the place). Then she threw him out and then decided to move back in with her parents as she was worried about him coming back to the house. This was in the first week of March, the dole said they will not pay rent as no one was living there. They the tell her I have to evict her before they will re consider housing her. Can you believe that? She told me that she needed somewhere to keep her furniture so although she was not living there I would have to put up with it issue …

and she's sooooooo nearly finished! :clap: Thanks for all the help guys! :thumbup1:

Whilst looking at my Z the other day, a colleague at work asked me how much my private plate had cost me. At first I didn't know what he was talking about, but then I realised that the "L" reg standard number plate had confused him. I just smiled back and told him it cost me an arm and a leg! Obviously the rarity of L-reg cars and abundance of the new style plates has led some to forget what plates used to look like. A nice bonus!

I have to stay away one night a week with work so I don't have to relocate. I pay for a B&B each week and food, can I offset this against my tax? My wages are done via work so I don't do my own tax returns.

As some of you may know my car is currently in the body shop, whilst it is there I have decided to give me wheels a good cleaning. I have cleaned all the backs and have attempted to remove the pitting around the base of the spokes. They look a lot better but I am struggling to get the shine back to a mirror finnish, atm its a bit hazey... Cheers guys

Anyone who uses Kwik Fit be warned..... Dropped the Mazda 6 into a branch week last Sunday for 2 new front tyres, got there about 11am, the guy said it would be a 2 hour wait but as we were going to a show in town said it was no problem as we could collect the car about 3. He said that was ok and he would call me when ready so off we went, no calls so we headed back at 3 to get the car. Car was all done when we got there so he gave me keys and off home we went. The drive home is about 40 minutes and involves the A48/M48/M4 and another duel carriageway. I did my usual speed along these roads (70mph:sneaky2:) but just as we pulling off the warning light for tyre p…
