Most, if not all dealership garages are complete rip-offs; they assume the majority of customers won't question the prices they pull out of their asses. The Ford garage wanted me to pay £14.10 for them to replace a brake light and £83.73 to replace a broken spring in the gear lever on my Focus when ...

Re: "Pirated Set Top Boxes"
There is an advert on TV at the moment which tells of the worries of buying a "pirated set top box". "They are often unreliable" the voice-over man chimes. I've not seen the ad, but the one I got from a friend's friend a few weeks ago worked perfectly at his house (I'm waiting f...

BE WARNED: I have just downloaded the file and it's packed with spyware. If you delete the spyware using SpyBot AND MS AntiSpyware it still runs ok. That's a damn good to steer well clear of it then. IMO, any software developer that bundles spyware or any other type of unwanted malware with their s...

Does anyone know if the black start bar style (as seen in the screenshot above) is available as a theme for download in the same way as Royale was (i.e. without a skinning program)? In short, no. Your best option is probably softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Longhorn-Transformation-Pack-To-t...

You might want to delete that link to stop people clicking on it - the page it takes you to has a Java trojan embedded in it, Trojan.ByteVerify, which will install automatically if you don't have antivirus software installed. As Mark's said, forward it to Paypal with full email headers so they can i...

(imagine you're 18 and get ID's buying alcohol. The only ID at present which you know will be accepted is a photocard driving licence or a passport. What if you don't have either?) Photocard driving licenses cost under £40; less than half of even the Government's prediction for ID cards, and about ...

This made me laugh, perhaps the fire alarms are faulty so everyone in the building piles out, and guess who's in the car park waiting for them! Mr Whippy! :lol: Haha. There's one that *always* waits outside school: he's up at the top to catch all the junior school coming out, and then whisks around...

I think the latest version of MSN Messenger (7.0.0777) blocks some files by default, including MP3s. Did it start happing after you upgraded your version of MSN?
ISTR finding a patch for it on http://www.mess.be at the time, it should still be there.

This cap (from the Six IIRC) of the Screws managing editor made me laugh more. http://stevelowry.co.uk/files/tvf/notwed.jpg He looks the complete opposite of what you'd imagine a hack from such a shitty far-right rag to look like. You can just imagine the dirty old pervert wanking over the filth in ...
