  1. Really hope we get the fixed term parliaments act repealed. Snap elections seem much more fun than this eternal drag between elections. The idea of an election based on parliamentary maths appeals right now
  2. 5th of my lifetime. You must be in your late fifties
  3. Watching this Tory old duck on BBC news attempt to turn his phone off is the highlight of the cabinet reshuffle
  4. Never been a PM less than a quarter of a century in my life.
  5. You expecting a war or something? If I was the queen I'd refuse a new PM and pass a load of stupid decrees.
  6. Currently we have no prime minister
  7. Labour election rigging against Corbin. He might be on the ballot but the vast bulk of his supporters can't vote http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/new-labour-party-members-barred-8408288

    What interested in is her style. Cameron is well known for is autonomous departments approach - will she try and centralise?

    How much of a risk is adding a stick of ram manually? It's more of a question to ask is it worth it? Upgrading an old contraption in my view isn't really worth it. Games work best with a high speed processor, lots of RAM and a top notch graphics card. One out of three isn't really ideal. Beggars can't be picky.

    Totally agree . Unfortunately. The games 7 years old buts been updated to modern specs. Literally can't run it on the computer full stop. Time to raid the piggy bank

    You need a caddy.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-3-0-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure-HDD-2-5-inch-External-Case-Caddy-Black-UK-/112041275272?hash=item1a162e2f88:g:tkQAAOSwvg9XcmSA Just make sure you get the right size for your hard drive. Put the hard drive into the caddy and plug the caddy into the computer USB port. Simples. I thought caddies were to put your old internal hard drives in? Which is not what I intend to do. If it's in its own case then simply plug it into the PC's USB port. The drivers should automatically install. If you haven't got the cable to connect the two then you'll need to get one. Yeah I understand that for just using the drive to store things. But my understanding was you can't just run programmes such as games off an external hard drive - I thought you had to "convince" the external hard drive it was part of you're main computer. I've got a slighter bigger issue now in that the pc is actually only 2GB ram. If you install the game on the external hard drive then you can run it from there. You can create virtual RAM and there's a video showing you how to do this but of course we can't post videos and I cant post links. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk14nPuz4ns That doesn't improve performance though.

    Only potential challengers need to seek nominations.

    The thing is the Corbyn coup could go on over several years if they keep standing wet blankets like Angela Eagle. Maybe its a long game to make Corbyn look a strong leader in comparison to the rest of his party. I mean, its either that or they are all entirely inept... My guess is they'll throw Eagle in while the £3 members like myself can still vote, figure out we're so disgusted with the party we're not going to renew and then stand someone they actually want like Dan Jarvis, Owen Smith, Hilary Benn or Jo Cox's corpse.

    So what happens now. Does May become PM? If so I find it highly coincidental this is happening the day the Labour leader is challenged. Are the tories going to try and call an election while Labour has no leader?

    One for the techies. I've got an old pc that I'm using for day to day stuff. Only issue is it's poultry memory. Is there a way I can use a spare external hard drive I've got lying around with much higher memory as internal storage for the computer (i.e to hold steam games and my music and film files that aren't going to fit on the 15GB i've got left after windows and other system and program files?) I'd rather not pull both apart and replace the internal hard drive with the uncased external as I'm not confident about wiring it all up inside the tower.
