What kind of Advent Calendars do you have in Somerset The ones I know count from 1 to 24

You might need to go into your 'My Controls' then 'Board Settings' and make sure the Auto Daylight Saving Time box is checked. Maybe thats a good idea about a JJA Calendar!?! We should have done a JJA Advent Calendar

Am I going mad? Didn't there used to be a calendar on here where you could look up other people's birthdays? Who stole it

Not all gambling is for mugs. Gamess that are biased towards the house are :thumbsup:

Thanks Chrissie. Isn't yours around this time of year too? Sorry I missed it, but belated greetings I hope you had a good break.

Christmas seems to get closer to my birthday as I get older

Belated Happy Birthday Aza. And to Chrissie too, I'm sure she's a November birthday too.

Congratulations Simon! Welcome to the Passed-First-Time-Club Although I was very lucky as I mounted a kerb on a left turn. However, after that I assumed I'd failed and settled into it and he passed me. I was soo pleased as I'd had more than enough lessons as my instructor insisted on theory lessons rather than letting me practice DRIVING.

What a tree! If I never see another tree in my life, I'm happy I've seen this one - I'll cherish it til the day I die I fear an outbreak of tree photos over the next few weeks

Glad to hear you're enjoying it N2F. Do I enjoy mine? Well, I'm going back tomorrow after a week off, so 'no', I hate it!! Seriously though, it is the best job I've ever had and I do find it interesting, but there's always so much to do at home that work gets in the way. Got to pay the bills somehow.

Yep, spot on, Quaders. That was truly awful a well.

I'll get over it

I've had a quick listen and found them both irritating with the looping effects going on. Sorry Simon & Rob, but its a case of another classic thats been meddled with for no reason. However, I firmly belong in the 'old guard' and you may find a younger audience appreciate it a lot more than I do. Its hard to appreciate a remix of classic tune if you've heard it in its original form for so long.

When I first heard Obama's victory speech, I thought exactly the same thing!

Hahaha, thanks Quadders It wouldn't be a birthday without one of your homemade cakes

Thanks everyone - another year onto the totaliser.

Thanks guys! If only I was 8 again, the things I'd do differently I'd like to say I've had a great day, but for the third day running I've had a BT engineer here. And despite having a new line and socket installed to the house, we still are only getting 200kbps connection speed I won't bore you with the things that they've said is wrong, but I am seriously thinking about a career change and going freelance on broadband solving as I have more idea than the muppets that have been here.

You're reading their spammings a little too closely

...which will no doubt show incorrect timings

I had problems with mine a while back too. Tim uploaded it onto the site and it now links though there. Maybe give him a PM?

The BT guy this morning and carried out various tests and he was getting variable readings. We did an elimination process and it seems its a combination and the phone lead extension to the PC (which he advised me to change to a data lead extension) and a dodgy Sky+ box. I will get those things changed, but at the moment I'm getting a 3MB connection, without changing those things. I bet in a few days it will drop to 100kbps again. Very frustrating.

She's probably tried that, but her spelling has let her down

Fuzzy is an Audio Mod and he has moved topics, etc in the past. KR also pops up now and again sorts things out. I'm sure if anything really serious kicked off (highly unlikely though), someone would contact Tim by PM, email or text and he would be on to sort it out. This really is a pleasant place and I don't think any more mods are needed.

I'm liking the flyer and the publication of set times.

If it aint broke...
