    Anti virus software

    That's interesting, because I downloaded it and it only found genuine malware (and nothing else), and I then recommended it to a friend on whose PC it found nothing whatsoever and just yesterday my girlfriend downloaded it and it found two malicious programs immediately. In all cases, nothing...

    Anti virus software

    I've used McAfee, Norton, AVG and Zone Alarm on various systems and of them all, McAfee has been consistently the most problematic (once fatally so :( ). Norton is okay, although certainly nothing special, as is AVG. Zone Alarm is very impressive - my ex has it on both her laptop and desktop...

    driving slower

    Yeah, I agree with you. In the CLS I sort of waft around, and even on the motorway I generally stick to 85mph or so. In the TVR, on the bike and even in the missus' Golf GTi, my driving style is far less relaxed and usually significantly faster. This is possibly why I tend to prefer using the...

    F1 2006 World Champion

    Gutted............ :( In all fairness to Alonso, he drove a clean race and his engine didn't go "pop", so it'd be pointless to claim that Schuey was en route to a pretty easy win, even if that appeared to be the case. As with Alonso's Renault in Monza, Schuey's car let him down and there's...

    F1 2006 World Champion

    Schumacher has what appears to be the best package for Suzuka and more critically, a far more level head than Alonso, who for me is far too easily intimidated and distracted by the mind games played by his rivals. In the third qualifying (only during fuel-burn, where times are not critical)...

    Favourite\Best Formula 1 driver and why

    It was a public poll. How does bias manifest in public polls..? :confused:

    Lets Have A Laugh

    One guy asks the other, "Hey, have you ever gone to bed with an ugly woman?" The second guy says, "No, but I've woken up with a few..." A bloke arrives at a nightclub door and the bouncers say he can't come in without a tie, so he goes to the boot of his car and gets a pair of jump leads...

    Any Bikers Here

    The old Urban Tiger 'Blade was brilliant - mine was an 11,000 mile, 93 K-reg (back in 1996) and it's probably still my favourite bike ever. I've got a blue 2004 Kawasaki ZX12R / Ninja now, but I'm getting tired of the riding postion - it's not a comfy bike at all... My heart's set on a...

    Richard Hammond critical

    Damn, that's a shock. Hopefully he'll make a full recovery - he's a good bloke.

    Landrover is to buy the trademark name 'Rover'!

    The "rumour" that Ford is looking for buyers for Jaguar, LR and Aston Martin has been doing the rounds for a while now. It's considered likely that a large financial institution or a conglomorate such as Alchemy will probably take Jaguar and Land-Rover together, with Ford retaining a minority...

    Help - Noob has questions.

    This is what Mercedes Benz says it is... Many owners might beg to differ :D

    Bank charges are illegal !!

    Yes, because I was still in full-time employment and earning a regular salary. My business was more of a sideline at that stage, and despite my own transgressions, the bank charged me for each and every letter to let me know I'd gone past my overdraft by a few quid. In fact, on checking this...

    Following Machasm's lead....defecting too!

    Nice choice. In my motor retailing days (pre 1998), I was the general manager of several multi-franchise dealer groups, the most recent of which included Land Rover. One of the perks of the job was a company car of choice from the various franchises, so I often smoked around in a Range...

    Bank charges are illegal !!

    It's a lot of 30 quids, isn't it? :o Before I set up my current commercial photography business - which was about eight years ago - I managed a group of car dealerships (not MB...) and had my salary paid into a private current account. However I was also starting out as a commercial...

    Bank charges are illegal !!

    That's great news. My girlfriend and I recently wrote to our bank using a standard letter provided by a website dedicated to helping and advising people on how to recover such charges. We'd accrued well over £2000 in charges on our private account and they immediately offered us £1200. We...

    Alonso penalised

    Well said. Every genius is flawed in some way, and Schuey's ruthless streak occasionally made him look stupid. What it didn't do was take away the fact that he was (and still is) utterly brilliant at what he did (and still does). Yeah, he'll be the only true talent left after Schuey's...
