RE: WHARFDALE 750

Well.... mine has been working fine since July 2001.

It should be able to play DVD (all regions). Maybe U need to hack it or what.

cheers....

RE: Anyone know any websites with Cheap N64 Games?

I have managed to get a copy of this N64 Perfect Dark (brand new, fully boxed & still sealed) from ebay for only £13.50. What a bargain!!!!!!

Sometimes, it is worth checking ebay. If U bid at the right time (where no one competes with U), U tend to get games at low price.

Upgrading Boyfriend To Husband !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Tech Support,

Last year i upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 & noticed that the new program began making unexpected changes to the accounting modules,limiting access to flower and jewelry applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0 In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as romance 9.9 but installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0 & NBA 3.0 .Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and HouseCleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I`ve tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

Dear Desperate Wife,

Keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while HUsband 1.0
is an operating system. Try to enter the command: C:/I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME ad install Tears 6.2

Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications: Guilty 3.0 and Flower 7.0

But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to GrumpySilence 2.5 and Happyhour 7.0

These are very bad program that will create "SnoringLoudly" wave files.

DO NOT install MotherInLaw 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program.These are not supported applications & will crash Husband 1.0

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does not have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. Consider buying additional software to improve performance. I personally recommend HotFood 3.0, Lingerie 5.3 and Keep-a-Nice-Body 10.1.

Upgrading Girlfriend to Wife !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear (IT) Technical Support:

I am desperate for some help. I recently upgraded
from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and found that the
new program began unexpected child processing
and also took up a lot of space and valuable
resources. This wasn`t mentioned in the product
brochure. In addition Wife 1.0 installs itself
into all other programs and launches during system
initialisation where it monitors all other system
activity. Applications such as Boys Night Out
2.5, and Golf 5.3 no longer run and crash the
system whenever selected.

Attempting to operate Saturday Rugby 6.3 always
fails but Saturday Shopping 7.1 runs instead. I
cannot seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background
whilst attempting to run any of my favourite
applications. I am thinking about going back to
Girlfriend 7.0 but uninstall doesn`t work on this
program.

Can you please help.

Dear ,

This is a very common problem resulting from a
basic misunderstanding. Many men upgrade from
Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 thinking that Wife 1.0
is merely a UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT program.
Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM designed by its
creator to run everything. You are unlikely to be
able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to
Girlfriend 7.0 as Wife 1.0 is not designed to do
this and it is impossible to uninstall, delete or
purge the program files from the system once
installed. Some people have tried to install
Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but have ended up with
even more problems. (See in manual under limony/Child Support and
SolicitorsFees).

Having Wife 1.0 installed myself I recommend you
keep it installed and deal with the difficulties
as best you can. When any faults or problems
occur, whatever you think has caused them, you
must run the C: I APOLOGISE program and avoid
attempting to use the *Esc-key. It may be
necessary to run C: I APOLOGISE a number of times
but hopefully eventually the operating system will
return to normal. Wife 1.0 although a very high
maintenance program can be very rewarding. To get
the most out of it consider buying additional
software such as Flowers 2.0 and Chocolates
5.0. Do not under any circumstances install
Secretary (Short Skirt version)as this is not a
supported application for Wife 1.0 and the
system will almost certainly crash.

Regards,
Technical support

RE: Arrgh,....ENGLAND was supposed to win the 1998 World Cup!!!!! & IRELAND will win the 3964 World

Well,.... I have said so. Can someone predict who is going to win the 2006 World Cup????

2002 World Cup Final: NIKE vs ADIDAS (again!!!!!)

Well, well, well,.... we r having another nike vs adidas final again.

So,... will adidas win again this time??? or U fancy nike???? & soory that umbro can`t be there. Sigh....

RE: Arrgh,....ENGLAND was supposed to win the 1998 World Cup!!!!! & IRELAND will win the 3964 World

Erm............... told U so.... don`t put so much hope on England.

RE: Arrgh,....ENGLAND was supposed to win the 1998 World Cup!!!!! & IRELAND will win the 3964 World

There is one thing which I never understand.

WHY when England went out of 1998 World Cup, the fans seem to put the blame on the Argies for geting Beckham sent off??? But no one is dare to admit that England SUCKS in penalty shoot out???

Come on, enough is enough. Stop blaming the Argies. U just have to admit that England SUCKS in penalty shoot out.

Cheers,...................

Arrgh,....ENGLAND was supposed to win the 1998 World Cup!!!!! & IRELAND will win the 3964 World Cup.

Hi.......

I just received this from a friend. What a interesting fact about the World Cup.

Going by the above `logic` again,... England last won the World Cup in 1966. If England is to win it again, it should be 3964 - 1966 = 1998 World Cup. Unfortunately, England missed it. So,...we can forget England in this 2002 World Cup.

Before I go,... this below one is for the Irish fans with NO OFFENCE :

RE: Argentina - vs England ****SPOILER****

70`s and 80`s heavy rock is very popular in Argentina and apparently a lot of them like to copy the haircuts of the time as a tribute.

COME ON !!!!!!!!,..we r in the 21st century now. Argentines,...sigh..

RE: Argentina - vs England ****SPOILER****

U know what,... my NUS is a lot better than England`s goal. It gives me 10% at Virgin.

RE: Argentina - vs England ****SPOILER****

Phew.....finally,...England has won. Well,...not a very exciting match, but who cares.

Can someone please ask those Argentines to get their hair cut? Really don`t know why they like to keep their hair long (unless they tidy it up like Seaman does).

Okie,...Ladbrokes,...please pay up whatever U owe me. Hehehehee....

RE: Argentina - vs England ****SPOILER****

Okie Okie...... everyone,...kindly get your pints ready....another 7 mins to go.......

RE: Argentina - vs England ****SPOILER****

COME ON............ENGLAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Argentina - vs England ****SPOILER****

Arrrgh............ U know what, I just realise that Beckham is not very good with his left foot. What a miss...sigh.

RE: Argentina - vs England ****SPOILER****

Oiiikk.............. The game is not over yet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine England without Owen, Gerrard & Beckham.........Arrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that Beckham is out, what if Owen & Gerrard are injured as well??? (I just have this feeling that somehow Owen or Gerrard will pull their hamstrings (what`s new??) in one of the remaining matches this season)

So,.. now imagine England play in this World Cup without Owen, Gerrard & Beckham........... Arrrgh!!!!!!! God, please save the three lions.

Cheers,........

GameCube at Toys R Us !!!!!!!!!

Went to my local Toys R Us store few days ago to try out the GameCube Demo unit there (yes, playable !!!). Frankly, I couldn`t get my hands of the controller when I was there. The controller handle was so smooth (a lot better than X-Box`s & PS2`s). Besides, the games are good too. Definitely getting one when it is out on 3rd of May.

Maybe U want to check it out yourself.

Cheers,...

RE: Xbox impressions and recomendations

HI,...

My best advice,... return the X-BOX ASAP, then save your money to buy the GambeCube on the 3rd of May.

Gamecube rules, okie????

RE: PS 2 - The Third Place..........WHY???

Hey,....

Still no one tell me what `The Third Place` means??????

PS 2 - The Third Place..........WHY???

Hi,.....

I wish to know a thing about the PS 2 adverts on TV.

U know.... these PS 2 advert always finish with `PS 2, The Third Place`. What does that suppose to mean??? I just never get it.

Can someone tell me plzzzzz???

I was told by someone that this is because Sony sees the PS 2 in the 3rd plce after Game Cube (1st) & X Box (2nd). How true is this???? If yes,...I agree.
