Know it well. Many a good time had there. I get your drift too.

Reminiscing I spose. Obviously alcohol induced...

How I miss the M.C. Motorcycles have been in my blood since age 7. Messing about on them when I lived on a farm in my yoof, to the time when I could afford a decent one in my teens. Then after the bug had bitten, onward to that hard graft , to satiate the hearts desire, those richer days when one could buy what ever mechanical two wheeled pice of art you could afford. Motorcycles were always at the forefront of my thinking, resulting in the gravitation to MC clubs and the bike culture. A motorcycle was the chosen form of transport. Why? The freedom, of being in the world and not looking out of an air conditioned box at it. Yes, I have one in the garage now. When you stamp MC on your cut, it shows you have commited to a different kind of Motorcycling. Marking of territory, parties, drugs and the violence that comes with it. Naturally, at no time did I ever partake in that, Phew! perish the thought. But what a life, 5 day parties, the excitement, pretty girls, sleep deprivation, which mostly made you sharp, ready for the next event. Age and family curtailed my progression into "the life", but my, how I miss it, and often reflect, but it was my choice. Do I regret it?................... Often! I have many real friends from the MC days and often see them, culminating in a few days away from home doing what I love. I know that there are quite a few motorcycling enthusiasts on PW. Did you too "live the Life" Were you ever MC? Should we start the PW. MC? I jest... But who knows?

I'm gobsmacked. Hope the old boy is ok. No value shown for human life shown by that woman. I hope she gets treated the same.

Very energetic young ladies. Nice selection of hats in the audience too. Just released stuff I meant, but that was good, from 2010 though.

Post 1980 I thought because that is around about when everything started becoming confusing and more electronic so youngsters were bought up with this kind of thing. I think you guys are right though because I got a squirt every time I moved. It even washed my hands, well hand, as I did the paper work. When I win the lottery I plan to buy a cliff side farm with one of those lovely beaches all to itself. I love Wales and actually volunteer to go and work there. Stopped at 2 services, they both had the same spray facility, on the M4 going to and coming from Haverfordwest. It was much warmer there too, than here in East Anglia.

Ok Logo, Yawn? Does that mean the end of the night for you then? how is life in Warwickshire? Check this out, "http://www.youtube.c...ed/93ASUImTedo" just found it, what do you think?

It seems to me that PW. shuts off at midnight. What I mean is, it appears that no one else is on line after this time. Where is everbody. Surely, they don't have a life!

I'll have to admit that I was bought up in a black and white world. Anyone born before 1980 will probably not be able to understand this forth coming gripe. The country is becoming too girly for my liking, it's going down the toilet and I think and hope that Cammeron will change it. My job sends me all over the country and these last few days it sent me to Wales. I love Wales and the people who live there, they are mostly Polish or Lithuanian. Having stopped in the services on the M4 in Welsh Wales I concluded that I needed a dump. Well, I'll have to admit that I have never been so intrigued or fascinated in a WC in all my life. Having sat down to make my deposit to the Welsh economy, I was unexpectedly awakened with a cold jet of water in my crack and on my sack. Now, under other circumstances this would have been a paid for pleasure. Though on this occassion, it was all for free. It seemed that every move I made, would give me a delightful squirt of freezing cold water onto my never exposed or played with parts, well, rarely. So I jiggled and I squirmed in that bog for maybe an hour, just for the hell of it, before the Pakistani attendant decided that, even after my pleas of constipation, I should get out. Now, I have been in these idiot proof dump and go bogs before, but never had the sack and crack cold wash, well, not in England any way. So, is this a Welsh thing? Is this some kind of a conspiracy, to get the UK visitors to return. What do you, the salt of the earth, PW members think?

My usual pint of 50% Russian Vodka, the other 50% being full fat coke. Flushes out the brain and the bladder for a miserly fiver a pint, and puts me in the mood to fight anyone, eat anything, and stuff anything, resulting in a very good nights sleep.

Having recently posted a cool video/song good all round package..... In my view... Well here is another and I hope you like it.. I think it's cool and if you don't like it well.... show me something better. New artists being the theme, none of yer old snipe please. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.c...ed/93ASUImTedo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Pretty much Bry-M and that is the only reason I still have a partition with Windoze, the kids and their games. You can install Wine which is a Windoze layer for Linux, but I don't want Windoze anywhere near Linux as it has always proved to be the root of all my PC problems. I did try it and it did cock up, so I always install Windoze in a partition first, then Linux over the top which makes Linux the primary operating system. Better still give Windows it's own hard drive then if you have to do a reinstall, you can do so without altering the first boot or creating a small oppurtunity to mess up your Linux install. Now Rescutec and Grub Customizer come into play, both simple ways of re installing Grub and giving you the smart splash screen back with the boot options when you first switch on. Windows splash screen is black and white. Black and White? Come on Windoze, get with it, I can use my own photo's to greet me when I turn on my PC, or anything I want, which puts a smile on my face. Black and white is so dour, so last year.

Very talented lad. I wish him all the best...

You know Catweazle, I have a Mac G5 in my e bay watch list as we speak. Always fancied a play with one of those things, they also look really cool and futuristic, but don't they fetch good money still when second hand? It seems that most desktops are a bit like used cars, cost a fortune to buy but if you change your mind a year down the road and want something different, they sell at a fraction of the price. Seems like pimpkiller has sussed that one. I bought the XPS not only because I thought they looked cool when they first came out and had all the spec and some, for that time, but because of the ease of getting at everything, clip in hard drives, four of them, perfect if you like to try all the operating systems out there and I do so the XPS is perfect for multi booting. Alas I could not afford one 5 years ago. Compared to Windoze though, Linux has come on in leaps and bounds and has and does everything and so much easier to use too. I used to hate that pop up box saying I don't have access, on my PC, that I had bought and paid for, yeah right. I tried that Windoze 8 but was not impressed though it was the free trial version. It looked too much like an Iphone to me and it is geared the same, to take your hard earnt, for every app a price.

There are 6 computers in our household. 2 are Imacs, a desktop and a laptop. Another is an old Tesco jobbie, a Phillips, running Windoze xp. It's an oldie so xp is pretty much all it can handle, though it does have a 275mb graphics card installed for internet games, minecraft comes to mind which it handles superbly. On a seperate drive it has Linux Mint 12. a very pretty and easy to use Linux operating system. Gnome 3, luvvit. Another is the first laptop I ever bought, in 2000, an old dell which came with xp but is now running Xubuntu, which works fine on this old knacker, Windoze shagged it with all the updates, but it runs fine now, like a new computer, on Xubuntu. Then we have a Dell XPS 720, built 5 years ago, future proof was the claim then, and even today there is not an operating system that will make this beast hang or slow down, not even Windoze 7, the famous rescource drainer. About £1500 they were new, 4 gig of ram, dual core and this particular one has 3 terrabite of hard drive and raid, which I don't use or need in fact, and it's my main PC and I love it to bits, picked it up for under £200. It also has 4 terrabites of usb caddies hooked up to it, with most of my movies, photos and music and with it all powered up, it just will not protest or slow down. And a surround sound music system with sub woofer, my, how us rich live eh? I'm on a £1 an hour now you know. My how I love this coalition. Then we have an old Toshiba Tecra laptop which I am posting this on now. It runs on Fedora 17. Ferdora 17 is a super Linux operating system, try it. I love it. It has Open Suse and Windoze XP Black in a virtual box should we get bored. The piece of resistance is a real space ship of a beast. A gaming PC. Quad core with 16 gig of ram and 2 terrabites of hard drive. Ubuntu 12.04 is the main operating system with Ubuntu 11.04 in a partiton and Windoze 7 also in a partition. The plan in the future for this beast, is to run it on a 50" or so , plasma monitor, so if any of you have a reasonably priced one for sale, mail me. I always install Linux over Windoze, having had Windoze mess up so many times prior to discovering Linux, and I lost lots of important and valuable information that made my life difficult, so now if it cocks up, it's easy to delete and re install under Linux. Linux being the primary operating system on all my computers now, but not the Imacs, YET.. Hey, you noticed, no mention of the Imacs. Well, Imacs are cool, pretty much virus unavailable, a cool tool, and they belong to the wife and my son, who are caught up with that Apple worm, that burrows so deep into their pockets they daren't talk about it. Their Iphones and Ipads and whatever Apple thing they are hooked onto. Macs are good, but work on the money grabbing system that Windoze uses. Though Mac does not burrow as deep as the Windoze worm, and I know all you Windoze users are still handing over your sheckles too, to fuel the Bill Gates engine. Yer anti virus...... de fraggers... ......nope... I wont go on....... you made your choice..... So, are there any other multi boot users out there on Pigeon Watch? With a couple of Linux operating systems in a virtual box, ready to check out, mess with, change the code and play around in terminal, or are you all happy with your Windoze XP and happy to finance the Bill Gates empire with your anti virus purchase, defragger, etc, etc, and the like? PS. Anyone wishing to acquire my PC empire, be warned that I will execute my right to defend my property with reasonable force.. though I am a very unreasonable man.

Itunes is rubbish compared to Ubuntu's Rhythmbox or any of the other Itunes type applications Linux use. You don't have to use your mp3 player on the one pc like you do with itunes. You can add just a couple of files without doing the whole re sync thing if say you go round your mates, also running linux, and you want a couple of files from his music collection. Also good if you have a couple of computers in the house running Linux and want to do the same. Rhythmbox also has a duplicate file remover too, that is simple and easy to use, unlike Itunes. So when you want to add a song to your mp3, you don't get 4 pages of the same song showing up. Rhythmbox does not hang, anything like Itunes does, which I found along with the duplicate files thingy, which I never sorted in Itunes, to be hammer throwing annoying. If you want to convert to Linux, but fear the change, try Mint 13, as it looks a bit like Windoze, and run it in a virtual box or create a partition for it, then you can keep yer rubbish Windoze while you gradually make the transition. All this may sound difficult perhaps but is as easy as pie. Once you get a grasp, Windoze will soon be deleted from your PC and you will wonder why you never did it earlier. Remember, you need Windoze to get a virus.

I was surfing and just thought the whole package was good. I'm glad to see it enlightened some of you, an open mind can only be a good thing. Now, back to chasing this Mosquito round the office that is the size of a blackbirds egg, why? Because it just drank my blood without my consent and I want it back.

You must have the attention span of a cricket bat jasper3.....

Is this a cool video? Is the song really good? Is it the totty in it that makes it good? Is it the girl with her bum poking out of her dress? Is it the woman in the picture who has a face like the mother in law? Could it be the blonde? Am I menopausal? Am I surfing too much? Am I in need of more male company? Why do I like it so? Check out this link and then advise me....

I listened to the show on and off while it was live and got the jist of it. If anything is corrupting our children more, it has to be xbox games and the like. Chopping Zombies up, running round with the pick of all the best weapons and killing people as you choose, after you have smashed up that expensive car you just stole. Xbox is where the feral kids with no respect for other peoples property, or life, future serial killers and the like, are being groomed, not shooting magazines, if of course you wish to believe in that kind of rhetoric. Typical remark made by that veggie, but us carnivores can make an equally good argument why we eat meat, after all, as has been said many times, if we weren't meant to eat meat, then God would not have made it taste so good. But personally I am not into banning ANYTHING, not unless there is irrefutable evidence to do so, and the court case takes as long as it does to convict a corrupt politician. Then after all those years we can be sure we did the right thing.

Fantastic idea. How about this. I have a bit of amber with a Mosquito in it. Hows about we get the DNA from the blood inside the Mosquito and mix it with ................. you know the story........lets get some REAL predators reintroduced onto this tiny island of ours. There's plenty of food here for them.. Then the rest of the World.. Just watch those petrol prices tumble when that happens..

I go every year with another member from here. Great show, kids love it, but take some sarnies, you may be glad you did. Oz and I will be the two fat lardy old grey haired bloaters wobbling at the bar and whistling at all the porky grey haired women eating chips they don't need.

This format is new?

Well, the cost of fuel to go to work, now takes half of my take home pay, so it is, as said by others on here, becoming too cost ineffective to go to work. I have for a year or so now, been turning down those jobs that are more than an hour and a half drive from my house. The new increase will close that circle further. However, I have now discovered "tax credits". This will enable me to go to work off the backs of you lot and others like you, who are on higher earnings and have not yet felt the pinch yet. This goes totally against the grain but I have a young family, work long hours, and have to do something. For what it's worth, I think we are slipping further down the toilet and I really can not see a way back up again. Well I can, but it's not politically or morally correct.

Well I thought it was a brilliant movie...
