Abu I love the giant rabbit !!!!!! it looks like it has crash landed !!! F

The thing was Hazel,the background sound was like an office,he offered to bring his supervisor over and gave me his employee number ! But yes I like to do the same and i did give him a hard time,thats why when i put the phone down,i did wonder for just one minute ! because i thought a scammer would have given up earlier..

Had a phone call yesterday caller knew my name and said as I had used my credit card recently I had been put into a free draw and had won a holiday,the caller was a verification officer and wanted to verify who i was before sending out the prize info,A trip to Florida yippeee !! When i told him to tell me the card details he had and i would tell him if it was correct he wouldn`t.After along conversation and him not getting my verification number off the back of the card,I forfeited my free holiday.... I emailed Visa and got this reply.... Please be informed that Visa Europe is not contacting cardholders offering all expenses paid holidays to Florida or anywhere else for that matter. This is an attempt to obtain your personal account information and you were wise not to provide your card details. Please be aware that Visa never contacts cardholders directly by phone or e-mail requesting personal information relating to your Visa card. Just be safe,on line and on the telephone!!!! Fluff

Your band is banned ... Good one Hazelnut !!!!

Yes his glass was full as well as his life! and he was`nt very PC( pun intended !)but a great character,

Will this be better than their free edition ?

Well its been a while but i`ve tried everything and i`m still having failure in this update, I seem to be in a loop between error codes 0x80246007 and 0x80070663 i get the first one fixed then back to the other I appreciate Chr0nic and Andavari `s help I,ve tried what you have suggested to the best of my ability but old bill gates doesn`t seem to want to let me have this update ! I have emailed microsoft and they just email you back to say have a look at the web page you just got the email address off ! There was an option to ring a number but i`m dubious as to what my telephone bill will be at the end of it ! I`m at about the stage of sod it i`ll have to live without it...but then...i`m not one for giving up.......

Keith Flloyd died Monday as well,for those who have never heard of him he was an English celebrity TV chef,who lived his life to the full..

Just my tuppence( 2cents in US) You have to register that your a home user then you they email you a registrtaion number I think you have to register once a year,but it is free for home users.. register@avast.com <register@avast.com> Fluffy

But here`s some great new changes to Microsoft !!!

Mbam thankyou m`aam !! Just updated !

Augeas I`m with you on that..if they allowed you to make a change if you wanted too OK(like you need a bigger font for poor eyesight etc.,) but it`s when they do something and then tell you it`s for your benefit because they want to improve customer service,aarrggh !!! Ebay have done that with your summary page "Let us know what you think " well I did and I do`nt think they liked it Its like someone using your computer and changing the home page,wallpaper and desk top !!! Moan over thankyou !!! F

Now that his cover has been blown..i.e Chris Park..surely he will just use another name.. Malcolm Ware for instance.. should we just watch out for noobies offering links.. I know Hazelnut has spotted a few and dealt with them swiflty !!! Fluff

some more !! Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about." Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't." Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
