    The Red Arrows banned from the 2012 Olympics

    Just received a reply from Downing Street about this petition. Apparently the rumour was all bollocks: RedArrows2012 -epetition response

    Accessing BBC interactive channels on Dreambox?

    It's working a treat, and each channel is recordable. Loooovely. :cool:

    Accessing BBC interactive channels on Dreambox?

    You, sir, are a champion. I take back everything I've ever thought about analogue satellite lovers. :D

    Accessing BBC interactive channels on Dreambox?

    Hi all, I see on BBC's website that they have 2-3 'interactive' channels for the Olympics. I've done a search of the forum before posting and couldn't find anything, so excuse me if it's already been covered (and if it is, for some bizarre reason, considered a naughty topic). Many moons ago...

    Top Gear duo slammed by BBC Trust

    Maybe the BBC Trust should stop them from driving so fast, as everyone knows speed kills? How about those wacky, "anarchic" stunts with caravans and demolition balls, as surely some child might try it? And then watch the BBC whine about how nobody's watching the show anymore...

    Antarctica Frozen Wave Pixs - Nature is amazing!

    Beautiful images, but the description doesn't appear to be correct. See the _http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/antarcticwave.asp Snopes entry. I wasn't looking to debunk it, but rather the source so I could share the images without linking to the forum. :)

    Time to rethink my sat system

    I can confirm that everything Rolf's said about the Penta 85 on a scaffold pole is spot on. Solid as a rock; no problems with a motor.

    Spell Checker for Forum Posts

    For other users, I think Google Toolbar provides a spell-checker. Lots of options. :)

    Video Recording Format on DM 7020

    Just stumbled across this old thread... As you know, the Dreambox records transport stream (.ts) files. I use the excellent HDTVtoMPEG2 to both trim the file and convert it to an MPG file. The editing takes a couple of minutes (usually lopping off the start and end, plus any ads in the middle)...

    Jonathan Ross flashes his 'poo' at Gillian McKeith

    I watched that whole episode, and it was hilarious, and amusingly proves she really is a scatophiliac. Even when he'd made it clear there was none in the box, she kept on about how it looked and smelled awful, and how he must be not drinking enough water. She's one sick chick. As Wossy said...

    Wish I'd known that on Sunday afternoon... )(-red Thanks for posting it here, though - might save someone else a couple of hours of grief.

    You favourite PC platform Game/Obsession.

    PJ02 is spot on. I started playing EVE Online last Friday and am hooked. I've also got a number of my friends and family addicted, too. What a fantastic game! And unlike other MMOGs, everyone worldwide plays on the same server - so my uncle, brother and a mate in Oz can play alongside some mates...

    SMS opens toilet doors in bid to stop vandals

    That's because then they'd all be used for dogging. Humping :eek:

    SMS opens toilet doors in bid to stop vandals

    Nokia must be laughing all the way to the bank: "All your public facilities are belong to us!" If you're like me and are sick of carrying a phone all the time for work, and leave it at home whenever you can, you're screwed.

    Animal welfare - semi-abandoned cat...

    There's far too much of a tendency these days to "call the authorities" whenever something like this arises. Then the government legislates to prevent it happening (or just to punish/tax the evildoer), as they like to do now, and we whine about the nanny state and further deprivation of...
