  1. I guess its only going to get worse for me, I have a 2 year old and in general she is great but she is now getting to a stage where it is Mummy, Mummy, Mummy so i go to give Mummy a break and i get the tears and tantrums and "dont like Daddy". I know she doesent mean it, and its only a phase but still not nice. However she does seem to be quite good at golf so i guess ill live with it and encourage her for my Pension
  2. Not been around for a couple of days, I find this thread interesting. I am against arming all police i dont think it would add any benefit, as has already been mentioned the majority if not all police in Europe are armed, I used to spend a lot of time in France and I can remember being shocked at first that every copper I saw was armed however you get used to it. not that I would want to over here. I have a few points though, here in the UK we are not open boarders like the rest of Europe so although possible traveling into the UK is harder than across the rest of europe, and security forces at ports are armed should anything happen. I notice someone said there was a survey done in the police force in the 80's and more recently and that the officers voted against it, good (this would actually make me feel better about them being armed) the main point around this though is I suspect the 80's survey was done becouse of the situation in Ireland. I was living in the Manchester area when the bomb went of there, there was never a suggestion of arming police. So the main question I have is, is this topic being raised now as we have a new generation coming through that dont remember the attacks and threat that we used to live under continuosly as a country, or is it that people see this threat as a more significant threat than the previous one? and as for the point about you cant kill an ideology, you are dead right the only way to beat this is through education and communication the unfortunate thing is that to start winnning that battle it is long term and you need to get there very early or just after a major event in someones life to change deep rooted beliefs. Sorry if that post is a bit wandering.
  3. I used to run my own business and have worked fairly high up in coorporate business as well. I am more than happy to help out if you like. There are business loans available for start up businesses if you google start up business loans you will find a government website that gives you all the info. A big part of it though is finding your USP (Unique selling point), which could be something you could do in peoples gardens over the winter, I dont could you start putting in rockeries or features in the garden ready for spring, or working on trees maybe? Also, could you offer a gutter cleaning service and or window cleaning service alongside the gardening? You need to be careful your message isnt lost by offering to many services but something to help out in the winter would be good.

    At least grandma has an excuse and i can accept that i used to help then neighbours out and mum and dad who were of the older generation, it was more mates that i have the issue with. Doesent everyone have a friend who is an IT genius that always needs help rebuilding stuff after they have improved it.

    It used to be that intel were better at work related topics so excel etc... and AMD were better for games etc... im a bit out of the loop these days, but from sounds of it AMD are going the way of the third player that used to exist was it cyris or something like that

    Back in the day I used to build my own machines, this is back when you really had to check all the parts were compatable before ordering. these days i just go online and find the best deal at the time, im currently using a dell all-in-one which is great and runs all the stuff i need it to. I have to many hobbies to get back into PC's at home like that again, and after spending all day at work doing IT stuff the last thing i want to do is start all over again at home. How many IT profesionals find that people are always asking them for help with their PC, i used to get this all the time, when I asked for help back with something especially of tradesmen they wanted to charge me, so I figured ok ill charge them for my help they then argued that IT wasnt a skilled job like theirs and i should help them for free. needless to say i dont see many of them any more.

  11. Just nearly fell of my chair reading that one. Well, I have been playing some of the At War games, which is ok. http://atwar-game.com/games/ but yes you are probably right, its also to reminiss about the good ol days and talk about games we have all played or want to play.

  13. Big Ooops, but I am sure he understood 9well hope so at least). the human brain is a strange thing, i am missing part of my right index finger, adults never notice even if it put up my two hands next to each other and say look. kids however notice pretty much straight away until they are about 8 or 9 years old.

    I'm "new" (Presuming you came from the GBB but I don't recognise the username!) I only started posting the other day. The fact i've had an account since 2011 is just a hoax! Nope, I just found the board via google a few days ago.
