  1. McDs got sued in UK too some idiot bit into apple pie and the filling squirted out the other end onto his censor - reckoned he had to have plastic surgery
  2. The whole relaxed laid back feel to this forum makes it a lot easier to actually get on with the other people posting and not flaming or dissing just makes it even more laid back. So its like an (Un)vicious circle.
  3. Yeah Amithlon is great you get to run Amiga apps on PC Hardware without actually emulating Amiga hardware so its all nice and fast
  4. I had a Spectrum +3 when i was a kid but I wasnt interested then (too busy at arcades) so my first was really an Amiga600 but since the only way to speed up a 600 is to throw it off the roof of a tall building I quickly upgraded to 1200.
  5. For me its Man Utd, I played 6-a-side a little after leaving school but I wasnt good enough for organised football, and ive got a real quick temper - probly have made a good hockey player!
  6. http://www.lik-sang.com/ always appear to come highly recommended. (i wouldnt know myself)
  7. Hey Gamecop you use the same tactic as me, nothing better than seeing someones face when they think they bankrupted you. Still always gets a good arguement going over cheating!
  8. my best pressie was for my birthday. my mrs (then my gf) bought me my first inkjet printer and a scanner. I was gobsmacked - I didnt even know she knew what a scanner was!
  9. I used to work Flexishifts so the best answer is anything between 8-12 hrs after going to bed
  10. I prefer European Beers but then I got funny tastes, Im not overkeen on Alcohol as in beers. Id rather have a vodka or tequila. The best beer I ever had was from Europe, a Tennents in small yellow cans. Failing that its gotta be a Grolsch or Becks
  11. Yeah, Ive played older games than that - but having said that I had DOS installed as well as Win98
  12. Was a Binatone TVGame - came with 10 variations of pong - but first actual console was a megadrive
  13. News of the World - sport, especially in close season. Their transfer rumours are often great works of fiction.
  14. good old British Fish n Chips, cant beat the artery hardening niceness that is Haddock & Chips down the seafront (and a few quid in the arcades)
  15. Fixed - Incompatibilities between GeForce card Via (AMD) AGPSlot and MS WinXP means certain games have to be run in AGP X1 mode. Its the thing 'Cinder was talkin about - not strictly Vias prob but they (collectively) need to pull their finger out and sort it.
  16. Help please i keep getting dumped to the desktop while playing MOHAA and Spearhead with a popup stating Visual Basic Runtime Error MOHAA will now close. Tell me its something simple please.
  17. Help is available here http://www.filefetch.cjb.net/
  18. I take it your mobo supports 1800 so Is your mobo bios up to date - reason i ask is my Gigabyte board only supports athlon to 1800 without bios update
  19. you can share as long as you want. Though the figures ive seen recommend a share rating of 1.5 - 2, I usually make sure its 1.5 or that if i close there will still be a couple of seeds. On rare occasions you can actually finish a dl without seeds - check the also seeing "X" copies part.
  20. oh yeah another point to remember is your dl speed increases the longer youre connected apart from the last few percent as only the seeds can help you then.
  21. I find that the downloads go a lot quicker if you only do 1 at once as you gotta upload too(ie - if u dl 3 items then you get 3 uploads and 1 download - it seems to be the way it allocates the bandwidth),Also I dont know if its intentional in the prog or not but it also seems that if your share rating on your last download was high then you get a better dl rate with your next one (if that makes sense) Finally Torrent is the best way to get changed mame roms, you can download 1 file that contains all new and changed roms.
  22. Im down to two options so should I add the raw power and double my ram to 512mb (running XP pro on 1700xp) or should i go for the extreme cool and good looks of this case which includes 3 led fans and a blue cold cathode for £45 My heart goes with the case but do I need the extra Ram now?
  23. I saw something on the news about this one (MSBlast) it was estimated almost a million were infected during the first 24 hrs. Theres also another virus going around that actually cleans this up. Is this "anti-virus" a first or does anyone know if has this happened with other virus?
