(this is doing the rounds on the net) LMAO What I did on my summer holiday By Theo Walcott Esq aged 8 1/2 I went to a place called Germany with my Uncle Sven and some other grown up's. It is a country in Europe where a bad man called Adolf used to live with his nazties, he does not live there anymore, Uncle Owen does live there, and the grown up's say I cant talk about the bad man as it will make Uncle Owen cry if I do. In Germany there are lots of castles and some mountains. We are staying in a place called Baden Baden that's a silly name, Uncle Frank has the same name as his dad, that's silly too, his mum must get their underpants mixed up all the time. On the aeroplane Uncle Sol sat next to me, he got me some toffee and wants to be my friend, he works at the place where I do my YTS, so does Uncle Freddy but him and Uncle Sol are not best friends anymore. Uncle Owen met us at the airport, he talks foreign, Uncle Wayne, Uncle Steven and Uncle David also talk funny, my mum says Uncle David talks like Orville, he is a duck, Uncle Sol say's uncle David wears dresses and knickers, and asked me if I had ever worn them. Uncle Sol got me some pop. In Germany the grown ups are going to play football, my grandad says we beat them in the olden days before my mum was born. That is a long time ago. While the grown up's went to play football so I went shopping with Auntie Vicky and some other girls she bought me a big ice cream and got herself a little one but she said she was full before she had eaten any and threw it away. She bought lots of shoes and handbags and let me play with Brooklyn. She say's she used to be in a pop band and sang me one of her songs, I think she was telling fibs. I told Uncle Sol about my day out with Vicky and he sulked, then he bought me an even bigger ice cream with lots of hundred's & thousands on it. All the other grown up's have a girlfriend except Uncle Sol so he plays with me while they go out. Uncle Sven says I must keep Uncle Sol happy, that's why I got taken on holiday. The grown up's went to play Football against somebody called Sweden, Uncle Sol was crying as Uncle Freddy played for them and would not talk to him. Uncle Sol bought me lots of toffee today and some crisps. Uncle Sven is from Sweden and I heard him on the phone to their boss last night. Uncle Michael hurt his knee and had to go home to his mum for a plaster. Uncle Peter is a giant, a proper giant like you see in books, he is rubbish at football though. Uncle Wayne had a sore toe at the start of out holiday but it got better so they let him play football. Uncle Sol got me a present but I do not like it. He says all Germans wear leather underpants and I should while we are here, they are too tight for me. All the grown up's started to call Uncle Wayne a potato head who stood on somebodys spuds. He got shouted at by the referee. They are all saying that we have to go home now. Uncle Sol was crying again and I had to sit on his knee to make him stop. He had his mobile phone in his pocket, I think.

Happy b-day, hope you carry it on into weekend and have a few beers

some of my world cup pics... http://www.tugteam.com/gallery/browseimages.php?do=member&imageuser=216

just saw an argie get sparked out by a Italian, and then when the T&T game was on this english lad ran over some tables to smack this German lad, apart from that everything was okay all different types of fans mixing nicely.. fuel was about 5 tanks so between 40-50 quid a go, but its was spilt between 4 of us.. the flights were over priced when we started looking (about Novemeber last year) but when we got talking to peeps in Germany loads got cheap last minute flights for 90quid doesn't matter now thou, at least I can say I was there

Just got back from Germany on Friday, been to Frankfurt and Nuremburg to watch both the England games, didn?t have tickets so watched the games at the ?fan fests? they put on in each city.. had an awesome time loved every minute of it We drove there so covered just under 2000 miles in all, with a blow out on the autobahn at 90mph there saw nothing left of the tyre.. I?ll try and post some pics when I get chance..

you can get a ATI Radeon X800 GTO 256MB for around 100quid.. if not go for a good old 9800 but dunno if that will run the game..

Bugger if it won't work for u G, I've got no chance oh well

I've got the same card but ya never know we might get away with it, just have to set everything to low maybe.. I'm total skint at the mo.. Mr Taxman has been so I won't be getting a new PC for sometime now so you guys will just have to play on with out me

is this the game that uses the same principles as GR? or was that another steam game coming out soon?

well done guys

Yeah was gonna go PCI-e but been thinking about it and I can really justify spending ?800+ for a PC just to play GR3 that's one expensive game.. cos I don't use my PC for anything else but gaming. So just gonna keep chucking upgraded parts at my old crappy compaq evo.. just order some faster memory (did have 133mhz) and a 6200 GFX card.. that will do be for another year I reckon..

Thanks Tant for the info (good stuff as always) Cheers dave..

Well at least this will give me more time to sort myself out a decent PC..

Hi Tant.. hope all is well I need a fave, and as you know and have everything to do with PC's I think your the man for the job I need a program to convert and AVI file to a MPEG, VCD or something so it'll play in a DVD player, I'm told Cucusoft is the tool for the job? many thanks in advance..

Ohh look at you getting all upgraded for GR AW... lol.. you do know it will never come out for the PC ya got your GFX card yet?

thanks bond, been looking for that everywhere humm guess my current PC won't stand a chance to run it... but I'll buy it anyway and just turn all the graphic details down and hope it will run.. New PC on the way but looking at around the summer now till I get it..

Welcome bud.. hope to see you around..

thanks again Tant the mesh computer sites look good and cheap, I'll still try and price one up using aria.co.uk then compair the costs..

Cool thanks for the info guys... I've tired all the adware, spyware stuff last night and nothing has come up I'll try tant's vuirs software tonight if I get chance but PC Cilln hasn't pick up owt either.. I've only got my games on my PC so I might just start a fresh and get a new PC and bin this one.. hard drive is very small and crap anyway. Any1 recommed any pre-build PC's just for gaming or do peeps think I should just build my own up? I'm just after the PC and a mointor, probably around ?800 to 1k max..

one more thing how do I download and install a .rar file? sorry for being thick

thanks tant I'll do as you advised something funny happened tonight I've connected as usual (steam didn't connect thou) and on its own accord my windows fonts changed?? the main windows bar at the bottom changed from blue to cream and the fonts changed too? is this a sign of a virus never had one so dunno?

My PC is running very slow connection wise.. So I've tried my internet provider (NTL) and they say my connection is fine when I have my firewall turned off but they can see my PC dropping on and off the network when its turn on, also I've tried different speed test and I'm getting less than 300k each time (should be 1mb) NTL say I either have a virus or my firewall is playing up... So I've installed Trend Mirco PC-cillin internet security 2006 to sort my firewall and virus protection out, but I'm still getting slow down?? when I'm playing CSS my ping is everywhere 300+ somtimes so I can't play any1 got any ideas?? NB- when I installed PC-cillin it did find a few virus but nothing major. thanks

Welcome aboard..
