my laptop is running dead slow now. takes ages to start up and really struggles to do a few things at once. it aint high spec but the performance has definitely gone down hill probably because of a couple of years a downloading different programs and it has never had a proper clean up. I know a formatting it is a good way to clean it up but it cant be bothered with the hassle of saving all the files and programs i need esp now my DVD writer has kicked the bucket.

Maybe im looking for a clea…

BBQ RULES We are about to enter the summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the only type of cooking a 'real' man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved. When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion: Routine... (1) The woman buys the food. (2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert. (3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - drink …

Thought I'd share these with you ..... you never know when they will come in handy :) 1. IF YOU'RE CHOKING ON AN ICE CUBE, SIMPLY POUR A CUP OF BOILING WATER DOWN YOUR THROAT. PRESTO! THE BLOCKAGE WILL INSTANTLY REMOVE ITSELF. 2. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP. 3. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT - USE THE SINK. 4. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER. 5. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLI…

1st of all let me remind you of the differences between the three..... :D TEA Tea is an infusion made by steeping processed leaves, buds, or twigs of the tea bush, Camellia sinensis, in hot water for several minutes. Tea is one of the most widely-consumed beverages in the world DINNER Dinner is the main meal of the day, eaten at midday or in the evening. SUPPER Supper is the name for the evening meal in some dialects of English - ordinarily the last meal of the day. So why do the people of this grand nation call their evening meal TEA ..... Dinner or Supper will do! :slap:
