    Derby Dead Pool 2014

    I bought it in February 2009 so I got 5 years out of it. I can't afford a new one yet so I'm going to see if it can be patched up in the meantime...

    Derby Dead Pool 2014

    Bought a new wireless adapter, still no use. There's a connection but no internet! Rang BT WiFi and was answered by a woman who sounded identical to that bitch I briefly worked with? Who gave every answer as a question? Which is really annoying? So, maybe its a Windows issue, so I'm going to side step them altogether by uploading another operating system, namely Linux...

    Football

    I would have thought all Scots would have tried to forget the 1978 World Cup, apart from Archie Gemmell's goal of course!

    Derby Dead Pool 2014

    The problem's not so much with the hard drive but with the internet connection. My fault, I decided to reinstall my OS as the old thing was running a bit slow. Since then I find it difficult connecting to the internet through my wireless adapter. Keeps saying the DNS is not responding. Switched suppliers (3 mobile to BT WiFi) and it worked for a week until the same DNS server problem came up again. I'm only communicating now through my tablet...

    You might need to change the password on your email as I received spam a couple of weeks ago but you may have already done that... So, in contention an incredible 15 years after your last win!

    That's probably be me cutting and pasting the wrong amount of points on the scorecard. That can be fixed...

    Got a bit of a title race going on here. Three changes in the lead in the last couple of weeks or so. Having troubles with my computer at the moment so I'm not sure exactly when the next update will be...

    Missing In Action

    And yet because of an online campaign, we've pissed half the RAF budget up the wall for nothing. If just one of the crew had a touch of the tarbrush there'd had been no search...

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2015

    Mild salivation at best, he walked to the ambulance with "minimal assistance." Heard a bloke interviewed about this and it seems they've been scapegoated in the machinations of a family business in the US where the various members fall in and out of speaking to each other. Er... what's your beef with this guy? Did he defraud you or sumfink? No beef, just looks a bad dead pool bet. Yeah I was just asking why he would say one for you in particular to salivate over that's all..... Mild salivation at best, he walked to the ambulance with "minimal assistance."

    1. That's the usual grammatical error that can be corrected. 2. Whoever did the celeb description probably didn't know or care about that fact. 3. Choosing celeb pictures is at the discretion of whoever has the responsibility of doing it. There's no set rule to how young or old or how recent the picture is. There are other teams who pick celebs and would be content with how they are represented or don't care. 4. Of course there are more obscure picks of which pics are hard to come by. Any alternatives that are significantly better are to be welcomed...

    Political Frailty

    To true. Very confusing, to those easily confused. What makes matters worse is that the top entry on the ballot reads "An Independence from Europe" with an EU flag that has been crossed through. Now I'm fairly sure that most people know about UKIP and those who wish to vote for them can do so in the alphabetically ordered list in the lowest position. But for those not fully "compost-mental" then this will wick away vital votes and depress the UKIP vote. Big question is (beyond the little know mad folk down at the English Democrats). Who put up these other mavericks? I think the Tories themselves have most to gain in acting to depress the UKIP vote. Crafty. I remember a trick from the Euro elections in 1994 when a "Literal Democrat" down in the south west got 10,000 votes and denied the Lib Dems a seat or two under the proportional representation system...

    Probably because he worked at the BBC for a while. You might as well be a member of the Taliban as far the Telegraph are concerned...
