Had same here when moving from one provider to another. I'd been with Plusnet for a good few years with no problems. The last year I was with them I was paying over £35 for the fastest line i could get (run many consoles and computers in doors) My average speed was 6mb with them. I then deside to buy Sky for the house. Got Sky+ with the 4 mix channels and unlimited broadband. All been fine and now have broadband speed of 13mb costing me just £29 a month. So one happy chappy Seems it's always good to have a little shop around. Jim

The fact that I've still got a picture up of my old Supra in my office, tells me I'm still way to attached to the girl. The guy that bought it from me searched high and low to get one as good a condition as mine - so god help him if it's now in a sorry state. (If i'm honest, I think I'd rather not know or see how it looks now). To me your thread say's; I'm a massive car inthusiast is that a problem... Jim

Ouch!!! Guess you'll be spending some more time on the Supra Forum for next few days lol. Take it easy.

Watching Overhaulin' and Wrecks to Riches most nights, I find the Chop Shop series a right joke. I understand what Chop Shop are trying to do, but you really wouldn't see me in one of there motors after watching what they do to it, brings a shiver to my spine every time

Sell my crappy A2 and get myself a Supra again Sod being practical . . . . . Oh, and go down the gym more. Jim

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7776059.stm Don't know about you guys, but after reading this: "I see her as a new icon of popular culture for the 21st Century, a beacon of light in these bleak times. I do think the artist has been sniffing way to much paint or something else.. Really, please, what is the world coming to?? or am I missing something? Jim

Good price's on there, cheers for that Jim

Big fan of Prodigy so looking forward to the new album, liking the new single at the mo. Do agree that this single would be great in a car game

Messing around for 15mins, I managed 4.8 metres running on my knees . . . . Most of my time 0.3metres on my head The cricket game is a little easier.

Been a very interesting thread reading up on this tilt-shift photography. Might have a little go when I get some time. Cheers. Anyway, while looking on one of the sites posted at the beginning of this thread (on high-speed photography), I had to post this link to a slow mo slap (made me laugh )...... Jim

You're so right on every point

I said to her years ago not to use them, but at the time she said she had no problems. Now after being in a binding contract (that is, over the phone) she's has nothing but problems I'm not really sure if she can get out of this contract, so she can then go with another ISP?

I'll let her know, cheers Ivan. Anyone else have much problems with AOL when going on contract with them?

Had my mother on the phone earlier ranting about AOHELL. I'm not really sure what to advise, so wondering if any of you know what she could do (asked her to email me of what she said on the phone earlier) Cheers, Jim p.s Sorry it's a little long Hi James, you said to email you with the problems I'm having with aol. Right where do I start. As you know I've been with aol since 1999 and had no problems up till recently. Back in about June (maybe slightly earlier this year) I had a phone call from aol saying that as I was a value customer (load of old bollocks I know), I could upgrade from bronze to gold and maintain the same price. I think that meant going from around 4meg speed to 8meg speed, all I would need to do was to agree to an 18month contract. Bare in mind that because I'd been with them for so long I had no existing contract with them before this so could have left them at any time. As I say, I was happy with the service that I'd had with them over the years, no particular problems to speak of. I agreed to take out the contract over the phone so didn't sign anything but was told it was a verbal contract. About a week after the change I noticed if anything my speeds were slower. I did contact aol pointing this out but they just blamed my system, which I pointed out it had never been a problem before, then told me that at certain times of the day when it was busy it would be slower. I still find this hard to believe, as on the previous tariff I was quite happy so a supposedly faster tariff should have been better not worse. I decided to live with this irritating little problem and made mental note to change the minute the contract was up. But then I had another problem. Trying to log on one day it kept timing out, then saying it could not conect. I phoned aol, went through the usual half an hour jargon, what system, what processor, what version of aol am I using etc etc etc. After a prolonged conversation and me yelling down the phone at the bloke that it most definitely was not my system and yes I had bloodywell reinstalled aol he talked me through a process that I haven't got a clue how to do again, but ended up with an icon on my desktop which I have attached. So now I have to double click on this, click connect, double click on the aol icon, put in my username and password then if I'm really lucky I can be on line in 5 minutes, woopee doo (sorry about sarcasm). This does seem to work, but now I want to install my new computer, have installed aol on it, and it won't connect, so I suppose I need the other icon to be able to log on. I've just about had a gutfull of aol, would never ever recommend anyone to go on it unless they have the patience of a saint which you know I most definitely haven't. Hopefully someone somewhere on one of your forums can help your poor frustrated mother out. Please let me know if anyone comes up with any ideas. Especially if I can get out of this contract.

Bet the 360 looks the nuts on that thing, grrr Well done on the bargain ya lucky git Jim
