  1. Do this and there will be no problem. I've had the odd issue with NTFS drives. Oh, and just to be blindingly obvious, make sure there isn't a lock on it.
  2. No it's from Viz, if I remember rightly.
  3. And just to add my two cents... Windows 8 sucks cock.
  4. You should be able to drag and drop them out of Outlook Express, but you're correct to say that file format would be an issue with other email clients. They're even different from Outlook Express and paid-for Outlook (.eml and .msg if i remember rightly). You MIGHT be able to 'Save As' the format you'll be using in future, but that'll be as much of a hassle as emailing them to yourself. Another option is (obviously I don't know the details) if you're talking about a gmail/hotmail/whatever account that you've added to Express; go to the web-based client and see if it's an IMAP email protocol. If it is, then you can just add the account on the new lappy and your emails will sync anyway.
  5. I've thought about it... but orange isn't really my colour.
  6. The 2 things I really dislike cause me no end of bother when eating out. Onion. Garlic. Can't fucking stand them, and they're the main ingredient in EVERYTHING ON A FUCKING MENU. It is a real pain in the neck, especially when you order something that shouldn't have onion in but it turns out that does. Like the burger I ordered recently. Looked lovely, and it was 'topped' with onion which is fine because I can just scrape that shit off. What it didn't say on the menu is that there are at least 4 whole onions, chopped and pressed to form. More onion than beef, I kid you not. The problem with either of these staple ingredients is that I CAN eat them but they repeat on me for hours after. Horrible.
  7. They're good at keeping their catalogue quiet unless you subscribe. It's good for TV shows, not so good for films. They're always doing 30 day free trials so go for that and find out for yourself. I you can masquerade as an American ISP then you'll love it. Their library is so much better than the UK's.
  8. Only experienced it once. It was very real.
  9. I'm up to the letter G in the urban dictionary. It's hard finding volunteers for some of it.
  10. I'm aware that the above tale doesn't involve clones. In my opinion it's a pretty gay idea.
  11. A lad I know was in Thailand with a bunch of mates and they were in a bar playing pool with a ladyboy. She still had a cock but this fella said that she was possibly the most gorgeous woman he'd ever seen. Anyway, she/he offered to shag them all in a big gang-bang for however much... and they were just about to go ahead with it before one of them pointed out the reality of the situation was that they were considering paying money to have a 5 man group shag without a vagina in sight. He told me they backed out. He told me that.
  12. I won't go into the details of why it may be, but you'll probably find you're best off converting it to MP4 and trying that. Use Handbrake. I'm assuming, of course, that the audio plays on a computer.
  13. They'll just look in the electricity tank and see how much you've used. Should be in the loft. That's why things turn on quicker downstairs... cos of the gravity.
  14. Try to start in safe mode, which usually involves tapping F8 (or Fsomthing) as it boots up. If that works then it's usually a driver for new software or hardware that's stopping it boot up correctly. If there is anything new, remove it and try again.
  15. Well my update fucked it and I lost all push notifications as well as FaceTime and iMessage. Perfect really. Having been on various forums I've now sorted it but had to reluctantly restore to factory settings. Not a massive deal, but adding all the music and vids back on is a bit of a shit. Anyhoo... Liking the new design and that.
  16. February... and as it happens I'm fucking excellent at stuff.
  17. BT. I don't understand how this fucking shambles of a company manages to stay in business. I moved house and needed a new phone line and broadband put in. I was given an appointment and both were being done on the same day. In the morning the phone line goes in, and in the afternoon Mr Internet is due to turn up. I took a day off work. First thing in the morning the fella turns up for the phone line. No problems there. I ask him if the b/band will be going in and he tells me that yes, an engineer is booked. Lovely. Well time starts ticking on so I call up, just to make sure that the engineer is coming. I'm told, again, that an engineer is booked. Didn't turn up, obviously. So I call in the next day and have a little rant, and they tell me that the next appointment is 2 weeks down the line so I go up and up the chain of command until I reach someone who handles the complaint and says they'll try to get an engineer out in the next few days but can't make any promises. A few days later, I get a call on my mobile from another mobile number I don't know. It's the OpenReach engineer who's just letting me know he'll be at my house in 10 minutes. I had no idea they were coming so I rushed home (after attempting to get friends or relatives there to no avail). I work an hour away from home, and my wife and kid work and go to nursery nearby. So I drive back, get the broadband installed, and then have to drive into work again. Amounting to basically another half-day off work. My boss is loving me. Finally, to rub salt into the wounds, a few days I'm using the phone at home on a conference call and the phone line goes dead. And stays dead. I report the fault which is fixed 4 days later. My attempts at getting compensation for time off work, petrol, and losing touch with a client during a conference call largely fell on deaf ears. The offered me 2, then 3 months free broadband. I finally got 3 months plus 3 month line rental. Shambles.
