Trust me; nothing would give me more pleasure than to tell you exactly where to shove your 'strawman', but that kind of language is not tolerated on this forum. So I'll leave it to your imagination! My point remains, technical points should be made elsewhere. This forum is to discuss the story, so in the interest of everyone else’s sanity, I will refrain from continuing this discussion any further.

I've given it a chance and endured 3 days of mind numbing torture. If I watch anymore of this garbage I fear for my sanity!

Interesting. I always thought Sony had first choice. Guess it clears that up.

Yeah they are very good points, but in the last days of my last relationship we broke about 10 of those daily!

This game just gets weirder....but still not convinced!

As does your continuing petty dissection of every small detail. As has been stated already, there is a technical point’s forum where, if you must, you can air your ‘fascinating’ analysis of how historical figures spelt their surnames!

If you download SP2 for Vista it solves a lot of browser issues. IE & Opera run just fine now

It'll be interesting to see the real stats of browsers used, because I really thought IE would be streets ahead.

Huge congrats mate.

Oh FFS! Galahad offered some very good advice - Tech forum, try it out sometime. The rest of us are trying to enjoy the story. NOW, where was I? Great chapter Mark, as always. Indeed Captain Knight has had his nose well and truly put out of joint, I wonder if he'll try and blame Granger for his inevitable fall from grace. Quite why a he would go out of his way to make life difficult is anyone’s guess, maybe his ego took a battering and he sought some revenge. I feel it will backfire on him spectacularly. Still it was nice of Granger to go out of his way and do a favour for Carmody, since he probably didn't deserve it. Interesting plan to give the French some of the ships back, albeit disarmed. I'm intrigued I have to say behind the reasoning. I'll resist the temptation to look in the history books and await chapter 13.

Which Browser do you use and why? I just ask this question because I'm having so many problems with IE8 and have downloaded Opera to try it out. So far I'm impressed; it hasn't stuck once, it's easy to use and I'm not sure if it's my imagination, but it seems to load the pages a lot quicker! You can change the skins etc which is really cool. Firefox I've just about given up on, maybe it doesn't like Vista so much, but it keeps jamming with Java.

Nice one Benji.

I liked this one: There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats. ~Elton John Poor CJ!

I think that has to constitute as the longest week of my life! [sigh] Well, the deed is done and I’m now single. I’m not really sure how I feel about it to be honest, it’s been such a long time since I’ve been on my own...truly on my own. It feels liberating, but then the coin flips, and my mood darkens. I guess it'll take time for things to settle down to some semblance of normalcy. So anyway, the break up. I’m not going to go into great detail, because it’s still kinda raw. But I didn’t bother with any complex plan, so I just printed his profile page off, and put it in front of him. How could he argue with the evidence right in his face? He tried, trust me. Said he was only doing it for a laugh, that it meant nothing, that he meant for me to find it. The last one was a shocker, and a lie! But still, he reckoned I neglected him, that we didn't have sex that often! Yeah ok, four or five times a week. Not as much as we used to granted, but shit, my dick would have worn itself out by now if we f**ked two times a day like we used too. Can anybody honestly say, they still have sex as much now, as they did when they first started going out? As for neglecting him, I don’t think so. If anything he wanted too much of my time, so much so, I had all but ignored my friends. One of them did point out that little piece of information when I went round for dinner last week. He was quite blunt about it as well, and as much as I hate to admit it, he was right. It looks like I have some bridges to rebuild and a lot of grovelling to do. Anyway, we’re done; I just don’t need someone like him in my life anymore. I don’t know why I put up with his shit as long as I did; there is more to it, but that’s a tale for another day maybe. It was like having a leech sucking me dry, emotionally and mentally, and it’s only now that I can stand back and wonder why I never did anything before. Hindsight is a great tool don’t you think? It’s still awkward round the house, monosyllable answers going back and forth, but that suits me fine. I just have nothing to say to him at the minute. The fun part is going to come when we start separating all the stuff in the house. I already have my list, I wonder if he’s done the same? Apartment hunting is a pain in the ass, most of the time when you ring for a viewing it’s gone already. At this rate I’ll be back with my parents, and that’s a fate worse than death. Not that I don’t love them both you understand, but it would drive me totally nuts. I need my own space, and my mother would seriously invade it with all the fussing she does. She means well I know, but at the moment I can’t handle it. I feel my temper could let fly at any given moment with all the stress that’s building, and I don’t want her in the firing line. So anyway, I needed to get out Saturday night and let off some steam. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a gay club, but it didn’t seem to have changed that much. Hot shirtless guys grinding on the dance floor, just what I needed! It was really fun to let loose and dance most of the night away with one cute guy or another. This may seem strange, but it was nice to know that guys still found me attractive. I guess I haven’t been feeling that in a while. Anyway, I met this cutie, Steve I think his name was, and we clicked and went back to his. Jesus was he a live wire, but I was a happy boy in the morning. The dirty look I got from the ex when I got home was surprising, considering what he'd done; quite frankly I didn't give a toss. I’m going to have to take a break from writing, at the moment I’m forcing it, and it shows in the draft for chapter 5 of OLAD. I can probably get that chapter finished, but after that it could be a month or two before I post anything else. I just have so much crap going on I can’t concentrate, and the words struggle to make it to the screen. I will get back to it, but for now I need to sort myself out.

All hail Kylie.....and her hot boys! Red's a great colour, don't ya think? Ok, Madonna La Isla Bonita - Live Earth [Wembly Stadium, London 2007] - I have no idea where she got those Romany guys, they are mad as hatters...but it worked!

$88 Million....jeez I forgot you guys tax the lottery! I wonder how he'll manage with just 88 mill? [sigh] Just one would do me.

Couldn't agree more. I did that once, finished one relationship then jumped into another 3 weeks later. Huge mistake. Ended up hurting the guy, and that was never my intention. I really think you need a good period of months for the wounds to heal, before you even think about another relationship.

Best?? Had to laugh at that. He could have tried not to have an American accent!

And don't forget Honcho.

None of the above. Attitude is more my thing.

Just how gullible do you think I am?

Yeah, he is quite cute...but from what I can tell he never shuts up! Saying that, I can think of a few ways to keep him quiet.

Add to that it would've hurt like hell....so I'm pretty pleased too. You're a bad man.

Nail on the head....apparently not the viewing public. I really enjoyed BB when it first started, it was something different. But as it's gone on, the format I feel has got tired, and Channel 4 haven't helped themselves by making it more outrageous every year. The death knell, IMO, came on Celebrity BB 2 years ago with the race scandal. That, without doubt, was the beginning of the end.

Oops, amend that. Next year will be it's last. God, more torture! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...-next-year.html
