  1. I am using the full version of Nero 7 but there is no option to ''Make DVD'' in Vision (as per the picture)? Is this version outdated, I tried Nero 2015 but found it too complex. Edit- solved (for anyone that cares)- the external hard drive unit needs to be plugged in first
  2. Two more, but a v.small percentage out of the hundreds of soap actors?
  3. Outside of Soaps, do most regular character actors and actresses survive the initial novelty factor of their immediate TV fame? I think very few? I don't mean the likes of major actors such as Sir Ian McKellen, who featured in Corrie for a short while, or others who guest starred/cameo'd over the years in soaps for a few episodes, but regular actors such as Angela Griffin, Susan Tully, Claire King and Adam Woodyatt? Amongst the few major soap regular characters, I can think of only Barbara Windsor (Carry On films) and John Savident aka Fred Elliott (Battle of Britain, Waterloo and Sharpe) who had major non-soap careers? Are they seen as a joke in the industry on the whole?
  4. The five biggest arms dealers on Earth are the US, Russia, China, France and the UK- also the only five permanent members of the UN Security Council! Lol
  5. My laptop ran fine until a recent power cut (coincidence?), now it is much slower and struggles to bring pages up, one of a few working normally is Google? Should I just refresh the wifi box? Or call Sky?
  6. Any update? I used to live in a flat at the nearby Royal Exchange Flats on Lady's bridge, and never heard about trouble from it. The only noise that irritated me was sirens in the early hours (no traffic?) from 999 services?
  7. Stupid girly show, scared of their own worthless shadows.
  8. Oh yeah, Major's early 90's "Back to Basics" ideal was never put to the test, was it? Lots of pervy, slimy or corrupt MP's fell or died if I remember correctly. Bless their leather socks...
  9. Alfred and Canute weren't in the 'Dark' Ages, far from it? Their eras were well documented? I'd say Gildas or Bede
  10. Yeah, Sean's great. Typical mardy and depressive Sheffielders...
  11. Being a thick and ignorant whinger that hasn't the intelligence to collate a reasonable debate or conversation with more than two syllables? At least that's what I see when looking on this forum.
  12. Or even, MI5 would upload kiddie porn onto the PC's of potentially successful rising nationalists to prevent their votes (which we know won't ever happen anyway)?
  13. He seemed like a nice guy, of US Indian heritage, I believe?
  14. I manage to use the s3 panorama picture mode horizontally, but apparently it can be used vertically? I have tried this, but no matter what I click on, or even shake the phone, nothing? Google yields nothing either.
  15. Thanks, I can easily get to device manager, but not find a way to activate the cam when i find it there?
  16. Ah, I now have windows 7 now, maybe that's the problem? Thanks though.
  17. Thanks, but that doesn't show in my start>search?
  18. I have a HP Pavillion sleekbook and cannot find how to turn the in-built webcam on or off? I have lost my manual. I have found it in Device manager, which shows it as working? But I can't right click on it or anything?
  19. Haven't we already done that with the American grey squirrell?
  20. This ^ and that devoid of face-to-face contact, where they are almost bound to tone it down, people become whingeing keyboard warriors and brave bigots after dark.
  21. Reading Boy Friday's interesting post about the inadequacies about the hypocritical and rather stupid British extremist trying to pop a leaflet through his door (and the inability of the 'campaigner' to explain his party's ''policies''), I thought about what 'foreign' is (surely not alien in concept given Britain's diverse history?)? Or what 'English' is? UKIP have 'foreign' candidates, don't they? Surely the famously multiracial British Royal family (and entire British nobility) are foreign? Norman descendants, also Germans, Danes, French, Spanish, Portugese, etc etc? The Duke of Wellington was born in Ireland to Anglo-Irish nobility? By 1840 the British army was c.40% Irish, and many 'English' people today have Irish ancestors (Rooney, McCartney, Lennon, Milligan, etc)? Winston Churchill was half-American, a legacy of the ailing fortunes of the British upper classes in the late 19thC which sought to marry wealthy American heiresses to boost their almost-bankrupt estates? People from the West Indies (aside from black people in the Roman army here)were only invited to move to Britain because the country was so depleted and ravaged by WW2 and the weary people wouldn't perform some of the most mundane jobs? When we want good cars, we look to Germany. High fashion we look to the Italians. Decent TV's and smartphones we look to Japan? When we want to sound posh we try to sound French? So we are not hypocrites? So before we get on our xenophobic high horses about 'foreign', shouldn't we remember that without 'foreign' anything, there might not even have been a 'once great' Britain?
  22. I'm after a cable which will connect my aunty's bluray player to an older [box] TV scart, as in this pic- http://www.okylink.com/uploadfiles/CAH1SC_01_HDMI_to_Scart_Cable.jpg I've tried to find one online at a reasonable price, but either they're discontinued on the European sites I found, or seem overpriced? EDIT- never mind, one reviewer said they don't work and the ones online are fake?
  23. The contract for those drones at the Napier St hub was extended until October 2014, no idea what's going on at the centre near the law courts- they got rid of loads of agency staff there recently. I think it's a case of [seasonal] numbers, expendable ones.
