  • i can't watch it on iplayer, it tells me it's not available in my area, waaah :( my computery OH says it's possible to fiddle stuff so it thinks i'm in the uk or something but that all sounds a bit much effort and i have enough patience to wait a few hours for youtube clips :) for some reason the iplayer won't let me watch it but we can still watch the "official" xfactor channel thingy on youtube.

    alternatively i.... *could* go and get a... life....? :grin:

    Christmas will give you opportunities in that area. Get you out the house, and out of the bus shelters with the White Lightning... ;)

    Once a proxy is set up, it's set up. Get him to do it if he knows about it...

    You do want to avoid watching stuff like that. It kills your brain cells you know...

    If you spill anything on the next one, turn it upside down instantly and pull the power and battery out. The quicker the better. None of this Shutdown Windows crap...

    Are these a good buy in general? my daughter needs a new laptop for uni - these seem to be reasonable prices - have you bought from them before?
