Aye, I've found Playtime know their onions. Worth a rummage in their DS cartridge display, there're some bargains in there.

Are you still doing these in October?

I wouldn't worry about extra charges with Vidahost; I'm a little puzzled how they'd get in through a contact form, but there're some clever folk about. I do know Vidahost accounts come with Fantastico, which will actually install Wordpress for you. It'll overwrite the pages you have though, and you'd have to put the content in again so, y'know, take backups if you go down that route.

In general, be very, very careful when "cleaning" caches. Make sure you've got backups of everything. If you're looking to restore your computer to freshly-bought speediness then frankly you're better backing up all your stuff and reinstalling Windows once a year or so.

I don't think I've ever taken a shower like that before, but you have exciting new ideas and I respect that.

Hi! This sounds interesting, but the ticket booking is passworded?

This sounds fun. Stupid question, I'm sure, but we're talking about October 31st, right? What age suitability are we talking?

Assuming there's no problem with the actual hardware for now, the problem is probably either a) your router isn't offering a WiFi connection, or b) your laptop isn't trying to make one. Checking the laptop first, because it's easier... On Windows 7, and I think also on Vista, there should be an icon that looks like a series of white or grey vertical bars somewhere near the clock in the bottom right, making a right angled triangle. There might be an orange splodge on top of it. If it isn't there, your WiFi is disabled for some reason. If it is, click on it. See here for an image of the icon (the one with the bit of orange on it) and the box that should pop up. http://www.icts.canterbury.ac.nz/web/wireless/7_clip_image002.jpg Hopefully, it says "not connected" right at the top of the box that pops up. If it doesn't, tell us what it does say. Again, hopefully, it should say "Connections are available". The list following it is of all the wireless networks that it can see. If you're sat right next to your router, there should be one with all, or lots of, green bars next to it. Double click on it. If it asks you for a password then it should be written on the bottom of your router if it's a Home Hub from BT or something. Now, you should be connected to your router. If you run into problems, let us know what, and we can help you more; to help you enable your router's WiFi (if it's switched off) we're going to need more details about what make and model it is.

We're finally kicking off a new monthly cinema night tonight at the South Sea Club in Broomhill with a screening of Pulp Fiction on the 8' screen, with a licensed bar. Come and see Samuel L Jackson's scary face the way it was meant to be seen; considerably larger than on your television, and over a pint of beer. £3 on the door, which, come on, you could probably find in the street on the way there. On that note, I've asked this before, but what films would you like us to show? Pulp Fiction was a pretty popular suggestion, but we're not glued to sweary monologuing villains. Labyrinth? North by Northwest? You can get the the South Sea from town centre by taking the number 52 bus to Fulwood Road and walking up Crookes Road next to Costa Coffee, then the club's on the left after the Kebab shop.

Tonight, for one night only we're playing Pulp Fiction on an 8' screen at the South Sea club in Broomhill; come and watch one of Tarantino's best and most iconic movies with a licensed bar and plenty of legroom for adult sized humans. That's right, Cineworld, I went there. We're trying to make it a regular thing, but we've no idea what kind of attendance we'll get. So if you like the idea of films that aren't on at the cinema - Dark Crystal, Blade Runner and Blues Brothers are all on the list that we want to show - come and join us, numbers are a big factor in whether we get to keep doing it, and it's cheap as chips. On which topic, what films would you like us to show? What films do you love but have never been able to see at the cinema? To get to the South Sea, you'll probably want to take the number 52 bus that goes to Broomhill and walk up Crookes road next to Costa Coffee and the club's on the left after the kebab shop.

I think it's a great idea. There are loads of older films that I'd like to see on a big(ish) screen. I'll take a look into venues...

I'm looking forward to it, but I think I'm going to wait for a PC version to come out. It's just a pain in the neck unpacking the Xbox and it's not going to look anywhere near as good as the trailers.

DHS has a very good point. Some people may say "I don't mind floating ideas for a local business, and I don't want remuneration for saying that word that my gran used to say instead of swearing". Those people are taking the money from the pockets of professional People Who Say Words for T-Shirts But Don't Do The Designs. Those people have gone through university and received their BA in Words That Might Look Good On Clothes. Maybe they've even got their MA in Not Doing The Design Work. Think about their children. thebiz, if you do any shirts featuring the phrase "reet good" or that "I love you will u marry me" from Parkhill Flats then I will see you in court sir.

Because famously, 80% of new businesses fail in their first year. It's not always the fault of the entrepreneur - although I'm making any judgement in foul or favour of Fancie, I don't know enough. But if you prevented owners of failed businesses from trying again then you'd cripple business in the UK - you'd just have megalithic corporations. Starbucks as far as the eye could see. Bear in mind also that Fancie hasn't fired anyone. That's a two edged sword; on one hand looking after employees is a real credit to a business owner. On the other hand if you're closing shops... I'd think you'd have more people than you need. I was always told the last bill you would ever pay late would be your employees' wages, but you've always got a responsibility to keep your business afloat and paying bills above all. Basically... I think we're probably all making a few more judgments than we're qualified to.

In fairness, they were the darling of the local media for a while; local success story, inspiring in the recession and all that. Some people even seem to really like their cakes, although personally I think it tastes like the marshmallow man threw up in my mouth. But the prices are mad; if you're charging £2.50 for a cake then it's an exclusivity thing; like Rolex or Cristal, you're selling at a stupid price because it's seen as the best, it's a treat, and the whole damn population of Sheffield doesn't treat hard enough to support half a dozen shops.
