    Qucik one on the pc - a quick and cheap solution might be to find out the make and model of motherboard you have and eBay for a second hand replacement then just swap over all the bits - may sound tricky if you have never taken one to bits before but it is basically just a couple of screws and plug out and back in all the other bits.
    I think....

    I kept my old HDs, I threw them out last year ... and only recently remembered that they contained all the photos I'd taken on my early digital camera from 1997-2003 :(

    How many kids have you got, GDB?

    We have:
    Simon Joel
    Richard Joshua
    Anna Judith
    Asher Benjamin
    Adam Raphael

    With the benefit of hindsight, I suggest not giving them the same initial. When something arrives for Mr A, the two youngest ones are in competition to open it.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Slightly less keen on Simon (must be a generation/personal aquaintance thing) but otherwise I love all those names :)

    I love the name Raphael. I know a few Itallian women with the feminine but no men that ip can think of. Its such a beautiful name, and I think its a good one because its quite fluid. My sibling in law was living in Paris during a short outburst a few years ago of quite nasty anti semitism. I think cultural choice is something DH would feel very strongly about for his kids. (His branch of family are quite sensitive about it, his mother was down right odd about it, and tried to pretend she wasn't Jewish, and his sister does the same now)


    All your names, GDb, are nice.

    Morning nice peeps.
    Hope those affected by the storm could keep their houses and drumkits dry....
    Strange storm, seeing overturned lorries up north and aircraft abandoning landing in Birmingham, while here (SW London/Surrey), it was just a bit breezy.
    I got it.... it's these country folk..... they're a bit slow :)

    Even I got it and I'm .

    Yodel tracking shows me my parcel has been collected from the delivery Hub very near my house where it was yesterday ......and taken to the city some distance away today to be couriered here tomorrow.

    Hmmm.

    I wish there was a collect from distribution centre option. What happens next is they leave it with my neighbour, who, because its heavy, brings it round next week on the front loader on his tractor. I'd rather just have picked it up yesterday.
