has anyone got any knowledge of how enforceable parking tickets are when issued by private companies on private land for private landlords? I got a ticket on Friday night on a large plot for a block of flats says that if payment (£100, £60 within 14 days) is not received within 28 days then...

hi, I've kept a very basic nokia mobile on contract for many years - I've never been keen to learn how to use a new one & not really needed anything different (but getting on board with 'apps' would have been nice). Anyway the phone has finally konked out and I have to get a new one. Orange...

I'm throwing myself upon the mercy of TB folk who know a hell of a lot more about computers than I do. My computer (pc, not laptop) is conking out - It's a cheap and ancient one. I do not need a fancy or particularly high spec replacement. I do NOT play computer games or download films or music...

I think I need to delete some programmes that are on my computer; unused prog are slowing it down I think. Here are some suspects that I think could be removed, can anyone confirm its ok to do so and won't harm computer. It's a very basic XP pc. Only used for basic website internet use & email...

Monitor keeps going off; thus bought a 2nd hand one off a trusted source, worked fine then a couple of days later the problem has returned. The monitor does come back on if you swith everything off at the mains & switch back on after a couple of minutes. This is irritating of course but worse...

I've got an email from "window live team" saying "Verify Your Accounts Now To Avoid Closure !!!!"‏ if you click 'reply' the reply adderss is "[email protected]" Its asking for lots of personal data, passowords, dob etc, but not bank details scam or genuine?

My little boy has got about 90 Panini World Cup stickers to swap and still needs about 200 to fill his book. Anyone got any spares they'd like to swap? Can inform you of the number of each individual player for swap by PM's. Hopefully you're in LE1/LE2/LE3 post codes as prefer to meet nearby &...

Is it possible after someone has recorded something for you on a disk to split the recording they give you into chapters yourself on your own dvd machine afterwards? If so does the disk have to be recorded on a particular type of disk? If so what is it called? Thanks.

Hello all, I'm getting messages purporting to be from hotmail who they say due to problems are re-registering people and deleting dormant accounts and thus they ask for my login, pass, country and dob. Have you had one of these? Scam or genuine. They don't ask for my bank details, but the...

AS title of thread indicates, I've done something that may have wiped out the sound capacity of my computer. My computer was running nearly out of memory, so I thought I'd try and find some programmes that aren't used much and deleted them. I think I deleted whatever it is that delivers sound...

Anyone ever been to above? I have to fly out due to a family emergency tomorrow. There is a train (change at new st). Flight is at terminal 1. I have no idea of how easy/difficult it is via train for terminal 1. Anyone know?

Every website on my screen is constricted onto the left hand 2/3 of screen - the right hand 1/3 edge is empty. Everything is shrunk and hard to read. I've accidentally clicked something from my bt home page this morning that has done this I think - it was ok at first. One remedy is not...

I tend to listen to youtube quite a lot. The sound on my computer has gone strange, it's as if it is playing too fast. You can still hear the words being spoken but its 'squeeky' sounding like helium. Not quite as bad as I'm making it sound, but almost. If you've any ideas, you'll have to let...

Long title I know! Whilst stability is something to aspire for at some point, there are a couple of facts of life that will happen in the short term that will produce turbulance rather than stability in the immediate future. After this turbulance & it's attendant changes are over with, this...

from mercury "...boost ahead of the clash with Hull at the Walkers Stadium on Saturday with the news that captain Stephen Clemence and experienced defender Jamie Clapham were today due to return to training." For the team to continue the momentum of the last win I am convinced of a couple of...

I know there is a 'moan-in' thread but it has a number of pre-phone in posts and quite a number of complaints at the quality of the people who phoned in, so it's quite hard to decern what were the main things IH was saying. So if the mods don't mind I'd like 'cut to the chase' and start a thread...

"chop off their goolies". Discuss.

More attacking strength needed, today's game really showed that.

Having trouble copying and pasting the link (see below, not sure if it will come out correctly) but Preston are said to be interested. Presumably assistant Rob Kelly has recommended him to their boss. Kelly clearly showing yet again that he knows a thing or two about football... Preston in...

YES: Odhiambo Gradel Cox King Mattock MAYBE: Sheehan (just being good at dead-balls isn't enough. Bit like Paddy McCarty is some ways in that he is a gritty, big-hearted player who gives his all... but maybe not enough ability.) NO: Stearman. Sorry, seen enough to be pretty sure...

I'm after the above item for christmas (f there's already a thread, please point out). Anyway, Criteria are 1. Large screen, easy to use & set up 2. Audio - tells you where to turn etc, not just visual 3. Under £200 4. Points out speed cameras & (don't know if poss) mobile cameras 5. Only...

who are yours? dead ones please. In no great order: Karl Marx (cologne striker, 1950's) Che Geuverra (1960's fashion designer) Jean Paul Sartre (Michelle Platini's coach & mentor) The Clash/Jo Strummer (white rioter) John Fowles (a wise magus) Ghandi (even though "he's made one...

On the 'is bruce rioch anygood??' thread Dour said in response to criticism (towards Lozhogan ): "Don't be so mean. Yesterday was a bad day in that there wasn't a new name in the ring. Lozhogan has done good work here." In keeping with this I would like to throw some new names into the pot to...

Dear all, (I am aware of the Lazzers thread which is restaurant orientated -this thread is about bars...) 4 work colleagues (all guys, so we can be spared the tedium of politically correct talk in front of others) are going for a post work drink TODAY with food - we'll get there about...

Everyone is crystal ball gazing at the moment. Here's my attempt. I am looking into the near future and I predicit that for the home game against Burnley, Kaebi will be brought on, to great effect. Here's how it will go. Trust me. The new manager of LCFC, responding to Milan Mandaric's hints...

Last 2 days I'm having difficulty opening hotmail. It just won't. Is there a trick I am missing to get in? Is it just my computer?

I was appalled by the counter thread to this one ('MM out'). MM is the owner and the club stand well-placed just a couple of games into the season with a significantly improved squad thanks to the owner. Moreover he is also quoted as saying he will back any manager with more new players if...

Has anyone else noticed this very direct shift in terminology MM has used in recent days? In referring to the departure of MA he has said LCFC must get on with achieving promotion this season thus there has been a shift from saying "within 3 years"... to promotion "THIS season?" It's not just a...

I'm aware that there is an anti-Warnock thread, but to my mind the two gentlemen above are far inferior managers who failed miserably in their last jobs. Roeder had a team full of quality players at West Ham (incl lampard, Ferdinand etc) and got them relegated!!! Megson was a failure who...

Bit quiet on the boards so for a bit of light relief, seeings we can't get rid of our rubbish I've picked out the 3 worst (ok should be 4 with Hammond in but 3 reads better on the title)... it's your task to think of creative things to do with them. They need to keep busy whilst we are paying...

someone on another forum has posted the following: "karl duguid and jamie cureton will sign from colchester, trevor sinclair looks set to join city after he and izale mcleod were seen leaving the city ground yesterday, and de zueew n kris commons will sign when MA returns from his break"...

On 'football rumours' today, which I know is about as reliable as Adi Akinbye & Elvis Hammond combined on an off-day in front of goal, these two guys have been linked with us. Here's the info in summary: 1. Shane Long (from Reading) on a seasons long loan (what position is he?) 2. Lee Bowyer -...
