Wonder how that'll play with the awful food porn adverts?
"This is not just food, or even M&S food, this is Kelloggs food."
Yeah. That should work. ...

OT: Switchover probs
Wed, 4 Nov 2009 12:00:18 +0000
I've got a Thompson DTI 2300 STB and a (newer) Samsung DVDR with
built-in Freeview.
I did the obligatory re-set this morning on both and the DVDR is fine,
but the STB (after re-setting twice) says No Signal for both BBC1 and
BBC2.
As both are connected to the same aerial (communal thingy for all our

Ask UMRA - Freya
Tue, 3 Nov 2009 19:11:53 -0000
As the administrator of a database full of children's details one of the
ways I add a bit of non-work interest is by looking at the slowly changing
distribution of forenames. Over the last few years Freya has come from
nowhere to being a significant, if small, proportion of new names. And I'm
trying to work ou ...

Ask EU: Ubuntu
Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:25:12 +0000
OK, so we're thinking of starting our friend off with Ubuntu as
suggested. Ordering a CD takes 10 weeks, apparently. Is it possible to
download Ubuntu as a self-contained copiable package? What I mean is,

Rickrolling

Could some brainyrat please answer a couple of Nervous Numpty Questions?
I got Rickrolled this morning. I tried to go to SnipURL via my bookmark and
Firefox shrunk to a pop-up sized window that jumped about all over the
screen and wouldn't close once it had settled. I had to Ctrl+Alt+Delete it.
Twice, becau ...

OT - C of E pensions
Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:48:36 +0000
An item in the business news today was about the C of E making very
bad investments with their pension funds. Ones unlike those of any
other pension fund and so bizzare as to be akin to reckless gambling.
And this apparently means clergy under 30 will have much worse
pensions.
Alan is over 30 so he'll be ok. ...
