I guess you don't believe the newspapers, then? Britain's winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives. Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain's culture, as warmer winters -- which scientists are attributing to global climate change -- produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries. - Independent, 20 March 2000 .

You're sure that it's the love of the dog she doesn't want to do you, right? .

They could make a movie out of this. Oh, wait, they already did: Danny O'Shea: Well, wait a second, guys. Who said you had to be good to play football? You play football because you want to. You play football because it's fun. You play football so you could pretend you're Joe Montana throwing a touchdown pass, or Emmitt Smith going for a long run. And even if those Cowboys are better than you guys, even if they beat you 99 times out of 100, that still leaves... Tad: One time. Rudy Zolteck: One time. Junior Floyd: [smiles] Yeah... one time! - Little Giants .

That's not fair. He's trying. .

Stand by for this important development: One lucky poster will soon send this conversation to Page 100. MM, is it true that the person who sends a convo onto Page 100 gets the FLB Limo and driver for an entire weekend? .

Assuming it is a Windows computer, the high chances are it is a very poor update by Microsoft, or malware (something like a virus, say). But without knowing what kind of computer it is, there are hundreds of possibilities. Google Is Your Friend, if you're willing to give Google the information. .

I thought it was absolutely hilarious, and I understand completely how it got so far. .

Not only you. Here's another sordid tale.

doolish, you can have a retirement extension on a per-month-income basis as well.

Interesting views, and thanks for them. At least no one is defending the English FA, so that's slight progress. Just curious - have the other three nati.... er, somethings in Britain heard of North-South Korea? I s'pose not, it being pretty isolated and communications-free north of Glasgow, west of Cardiff, etc. Sorry, but to me this just sounds more stick-in-the-mud, stubborn nonsense, INCLUDING the two-year-old decision on English-only. Two years ago, lots of promises were made. Things change, what's the problem to change with them? What's the problem to change PERIOD? Sounds to me you're saying there is to be no GB team ONLY in soccer ONLY because some old men say "no". Sounds exactly like Fifa (IOC, etc) to me. Why should soccer be different? Why should the London organisers put up with that? Because nine corrupt old Welshman say "No"??? .

Er, yes, that's what I said. Bladder rules and everyone especially (in this case) the English FA is afraid to stand up. Don't misunderstand. I think the whole idea of Britain having four football teams and one luge team is totally and stupidly ridiculous. But it is not as stupid or ridiculous (or shameful) as the FAs, starting with England (it is the London Olympics after all) telling Mr Bladder to be more gay and stick it. It is not as stupid or ridiculous (or shameful) as kowtowing and fearfully cavilling to FIFA -- the very WEEK after FIFA told the English FA to bend over and take it like a little girl and they did. .

I'm pretty sure they have football in the Olympics. It was in the newspaper recently. The only thing that's surprising here is that the English FA is so strongly dedicated to kissing Mr Bladder's lower backside and feet after their very recent treatment. THAT is about as pusillanimous as a football association of any nation could ever get (I hope). .

Uh huh. How about the track and field (athletics) team? English only? And how about the synchronised swimming team (singles event)? How about the gymnasts? "No Welsh wanted", is it? The only thing that's surprising here is that the English FA is so strongly dedicated to kissing Mr Bladder's lower backside and feet after their very recent treatment. THAT is about as pusillanimous as a football association of any nation could ever get (I hope). .

Interesting response by business, i.e. that there is no agreement on this... this thing at all. .

Heh. That's the way Pattaya bars "market" too. All their girls have two arms, too boobs, one pussy, and yet they'll charge more than twice as much for one as the other - even though they have the same DNA! .

Yes, er, um. How weird. Your passport is "registered" with the government when you get it. .

The drive has to run, or at least limp -- and then it will probably read and recover the data. But software can't beat hardware. If the drive is totally farkled and won't spin in any computer you have, you'll need a hardware solution, i.e. really expensive data recovery professionals with specialist equipment to MAKE it spin. .

Exactly. And anyway, any teenager from the day knows that the original Four Seasons are Frankie Valli, Nick and Tommy DeVito and Hank Majewski. .

What they said about hockey. But sure enough, they close down the pro leagues worldwide to play the Olympics. The sheeple have become conditioned to it. It's accepted. It seems to work. .

It is excellent recovery software. I tested it fairly extensively on deleted files and formatted disks the last time it was free, last March. I'm never comfortable with "the best" description for anything, it depends on you. But you can do one heck of a lot worse than this one. "Free forever" means until you try to reinstall it on a new computer or change your operating system, but it's a very good deal unless you are hugely satisified by another, particular recovery program. And you should always have one of these installed, or have one that runs off a thumb drive. The reason is that if you accidentally delete stuff and have to recover it, you MIGHT well make recovery impossible by installing recovery software then. .

You ain't whistlin', Dixie, you're clutching at straws. You figure the action of the ball should decide this stuff? "The ball". If there is one thing that is not tradition, here you go. You should get me started on the ball. Different every four years, RADICALLY different from the one four years before. And not leather, not laced for one hell of a long time. Answer: The ball will react any way the boffins who make it want it to act, no matter what the players or the fans say about it. During The England World Cup at Qatar, the ball will, however, act the same way for all players on both teams of each match. .

Wouldn't the room be in the spa?? I thought a spa was a resort with all types of yuppie food, massages, beautiful scents, backrubs by damsels??? .

It will be 27 degrees. Exactly. .

Of course they are, dear. You simply forgot to give the origin of the test and the 16-year-olds, and you'll do that as soon as you see this post. Right? Nah. You won't do that because you can't. This hoary old British joke is one I first saw in the early 1990s. It's quite funny, but not as hilarious as people who are so unthinking that they actually believe it. I can't post more. I'm off to a rally to force the Oxford people to put "gullible" back in their dictionary. .
