Ok, I admit I am totally stumped on the following. Where on earth is it?

I think the original poster misses the point that average 'J Public' does not have knowledge or technical ability to lock down their own home network, or use any of the clever techniques available to those with such knowledge, and are wholly dependent on PC-Universe staff promising them that their l...

Wait, he hit you? Why would you need to avoid using your insurance when your insurance dosnt need to be informed? Check the small print, I think you'll more than likely find you are required to inform your insurer of any events, whether or not you make a claim. They also exchange claim information....

Wonder why 'dependable' Charles Kennedy would have voted for an outright smoking ban, he would have been the first to break it: Former Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy has been "spoken to" by police for smoking on a train. Police said a man had been advised of the no smoking policy ...

Scottish Water bills have trebled in the last two years while gas prices have risen by 66% in the last 12 months. The company says the costs are unlikely to come down in the short term. Don't know about water, but aren't their energy prices coming down along with everyone else's at this time? Maybe...

Names with associations: Taggart's Or TBAM for those that like acronyms Especially if there were many patrons 'passing through'. Quincy's For the American tourists market. Shameless clone of the above: Mort's dB's Club 'X' (as in exsanguine) Vamp's (after vampire, rather than the proper vamp)

Ya don't see Buckfast because... It's all going into the local ice-cream now. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/6248702.stm 'Crass' Buckfast sorbet shelved Buckfast has been made by monks at Buckfast Abbey since 1880 An award-winning ice cream parlour in East Lothian has stopped...

"We are looking to come up with a name to exploit its past, and are open to suggestions."

Seems obvious:

The Dead Centre

or

Night of the Living Dead



Or even:

Pure Dead Brilliant

Without picking on any specific items, it's also worth bearing in mind that despite vetting and checking of backgrounds, those given the power to challenge, inspect and question are, at the end of the day, just privileged members of the public like you and I, or more importantly, certain members of ...

With the cost of a Maglev track, which is a technology more suited to a short, circular route, surely they would only be able to afford ONE train, which would just shuttle endlessly back and forth along the the same track :wink: Alternatively, they could build two tracks, and make the system one-way...

I'm sure that 1 Luv was previously on a BMW. As well as being on double yellow lines (probably the head of Parking Fines' car anyway, could afford it), the number plate is also committing an offence as as the spacing/grouping of the characters is incorrect for the registration mark 11 UV . Also an ...

Virtual Earth now has Brighton Pier in Bird's Eye view, so you can pick an oblique view: http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=sg284vgznqsh&style=o&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=4352909&encType=1 I'm sure Google had it in super-zoom a while back (level 21 fo...

They're back again, and will presumably taking more "Review" trips abroad (again) to see how Maglev trains work. You'd think they'd have at least an inkling by now, the number of times they've 'studied' them. Study into 300mph city rail link A feasibility study into a high-speed rail link ...

Thanks for that link, great to see the craft in motion with sound. If the truth were to be told, the sound was actually dubbed on that clip before being uploaded to Youtube. Its amazing what sound effects you can come across on an old BBC LP you've had on a shelf for 20 years. The clockwork (yes cl...

It's funny what seeing a photie can make you think of...

That sign's pretty mean...
