Mr Goose

Has anybody used the computer repair/sales shop in Woodseats? The one opposite the photoplace. Whats it like? Please PM if comments are potential to be liable Ta

"I feel you may be underestimating the depth of bad feeling with how the GlibDims have abandoned thier principles & become Tories v1.5." "GlibDems" is a term I like. "ConDems" is another

I did deliver leaflets for the LibDems.... now I am going to join the labour party. This thread has prompted me to act, not bleat. Moralty is more important to me than the sectoral hang ups of the Lib Dems.

Is there evidence for this?I think you are correct, but the first by-election fro the ConDems should be amusing

Thanks for the feedback on the Laptop - I think the 3 gig/250 HD may be enough for my basic needs!

Leopard is the Mac OS, hence is uber stable and pretty much virus proof (without using a blocker etc). People may disagree with the above, but I have run Macs since 1999 and never installed any protection etc, just kept the free Apple Updates, up to date (if you follow my logic). I also feel "more in control" with a Mac OS, and the painful side of life: work with Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc is the same.

..and could you get it to run OSX 10.5

This is for context I suppose- what looks like an OK machine at miserable Argos http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5083345.htm?tag=ar:cat:opp:laptop:wow

PS I live near Woodseats...any warnings or recomendations about retailers, please PM me! TA

Greetings There is a huge range of choice on cheapish laptops at the moment. But- I would like to give a sheffield business my trade if possible. So - can anybody recommend a spec/retailer of cheap laptops (ie less than £450 ish), that have a good build quality, offer good aftersales service and are jolly folk? I do not need a monster in terms of "2011 gaming" performance, just a good, all round workhorse. Thanks MG PS I would buy a Macbook, but Goosebudgets prohibit

The mixed fish starter thing for two is sublime

I have heard its v hard - but the current trend is to make them too easy!

Chums After reading the 100's of "10 out 10" reviews for the PS3 game "Demons Souls" I have mail ordered it (now it is finally out in Europe) Have any SF'rs played it - I hear it just about the most difficult console game for many a year

Balti Ghar in Totley - tops for veggie food or Kashmiri Aroma - a new one in Woodseats that does TAs

Hi After eating curries "out" since the early 1980's, I must say that the new curry hous in Woodseats is double plus ace Great food, good selection and v jolly staff. Well worth a visit Goose review - ***** Honks

Hello everybody I seem to remeber that one or more SFrs were able to carry out (or knew somebody who could) minor iMac repairs.... Well, the video card on my G5 1.8 iMac (the one without the webcam) has blown - and I need it replacing. Problem is that I took it to the Apple Store - they confirmed the problem, but said that as it is now offically a "vintage" model, they could'nt get a new v card. They did say it is quite a straight forward job to replace, but that I would have to source a 2nd hand card or find a supplier with old stock. So - any suggestions on both who could do this repair, or anybody got access to a old G5 imac for spares? I seem to think Ghozer had some sort of contacts.. Thanks

No, didnt think we would get a proper response

OK - after about 3 seconds surfing http://thelambethwalk.blogspot.com/2009/08/muslim-jailed-for-racially-aggravated.html What are you going to say now? I assume you will ignore this.

"Personal stereo" what do you call a CD player; a "Grammophone" ??

and it wont be nice and shiny with a picture of an apple on it...

I was on the bus, going along Queens Road, when I saw the "South Yorkshire Road Safety Partnership" van crash into the back of a car in front because the driver was going too fast/not concentrating..

You cant be a real human being - the material you post is either a joke or...

Huge numbers of people driving uninsured vehicles out there http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8272054.stm are there SF's who think it is excusabe, or should we be burning the offenders in power stations?

I thought it ace last night - did anybody else go?

I often wonder what the UK obsession with ghosts is… There is trouble and problems in the world enough, without people inventing homeopathy, the MMR scare, eternal punishment, ghosts and the like. MG PS As I get older, I find it hardest to believe that (out the list above) that homeopathy still even talked about - at least the rest have a socio cultural issue :( :(
