    Desert Island Discs

    Ok Zone Castaways, now is your opportunity to share the stuff that the castaways on Desert Island Discs do each week. Pretty simple really, you have to choose eight recordings (usually, but not always, music), a book and a luxury item that you would take if you were to be cast away on a desert...

    Question Anybody used Music Magpie?

    Well have you? Wondered about people's opinions on the prices they offer. I know I'd get more for my cds on ebay, but we don't have the internet at home at the moment. Would I get more by taking them into somewhere like Golden Discs in Southend? I put in about 33 cds into MusicMagpie and...

    Sir Clive Woodward

    What's people opinions on the fella? To me he screams WINNER. I listened to him on Desert Island Discs this week and thought he came across as hugely impressive. He discussed some of his motivation tactics on route to winning the World Cup and how he could have taken England on to further...

    SZ Desert Island Discs

    Not sure if this has been done before on here. Same principle as the Radio 4 show, you get to pick 8 tracks, one book and a luxury item; as well as having The Bible and The Complete Works Of Shakespeare. I'll start: Pie Jesu - Andrew Llloyd Webber Raining In Baltimore - Counting Crows...

    Ps3

    Guys and girls, Last weekend I was playing pro evo on the PS3, editing kits for a Master League team to fill the time. Now I'm doing this when the whole thing freezes up. I press every button, nothing happens. I press the "p" button in the middle of the controller, nothing happens. In the end I...
  7. Computer Backup Software

    Having had my laptop hard drive die spectacularly last week, I have been patting myself on the back for having it safely backed up to an external Hdd - but of course, having used the Toshiba Recovery discs to restore the laptop to its original software status, the Windows-created back up files...

    What have you done with your vinyl?

    Now this forum has officially become a Nick Hornby novel, it's got me reminiscing about all my old vinyl. There were some real classics in there: Transvision Vamp - Pop Art LP (signed pre-release version) Zodiac Mindwarp - Prime Mover (blood red vinyl 12") Loads of picture discs - Madonna...

    Just one letter of the alphabet....

    Bit of a twist on Desert Island Discs here. You're stuck on the proverbial desert island, but can only take music by artists all beginning with the same letter. So if you go for 'Q' that'd be, for example, Queen, Queens of the Stone Age, Queensryche and, erm, Eoghan Quigg. You're also limited...
  10. Acer Recovery Discs

    Firstly, for the mods, I am not asking for anything illegal - I have the licence for the disks I need and all the software on them. I have an Acer Aspire laptop, 7520 series, and the hard drive has crashed. It is supposed to be possible to recover from this using the "hidden" recovery...

    Is This Laptop Spec any good?????

    Not really much of a PC buff and wondered is the below worth getting? MESH 15 inch Powerview; Pentium 4 3.4GHz processor; 1GB RAM; 80GB HD; CD/DVD R/W drive; will take wireless card (not included). HD has been wiped and cleaned to DoD standard and Windows XP Pro re-installed from the recovery...
  12. Computer Help Needed

    2 Weeks ago I tried to set up a network using an ethernet cable, connecting my laptop to my mates computer in order to copy over all my music on to his computer. I gave up half way through and simply burned it all onto 10 DVD discs. Now though, when i'm connected to my wireless internet I get a...

    Any computer experts online?

    I've just got a new iPod, but all my music is on my old battered laptop that can't connect to the internet, and can't read discs. When I put my ipod in the old laptop, it says I need a new version of iTunes, but obviously I can't connect to the internet to get it. My question is, is there anyway...
  15. Just got back...

    Well not really, about midday but I was SERIOUSLY unwell :hilarious: A few things; 1) Firstly I apologise for not popping into The Spread to meet up with a few of you: I didn't get down to The Hall until 12.30 and after I had to tie up with my 15yr old Nephew to watch the England match. Next...

    4 week hangover

    From AFP (it wasn't me before anybody says!!!) It may be the longest hangover in the history of binge beer drinking. When a 37-year old man walked into a hospital emergency room in Glasgow, Scotland last October complaining of "wavy" vision and a non-stop headache that had lasted four weeks...

    Postman/postwomen bycycles!

    Please, someone tell me what the f**Ks are they all about, I mean they look like something out of the fifties. Today I saw a rather rotund postie on his bike and I clearly remember my grandmother riding a bike very similar in 1969. How comes you see these police officers on 50 gear mounting...

    MP3's Buying and selling

    have noticed on Ebay that you can buy e.g. All the Rolling Stones album on DVD for backup pruposes. Now the seller declares that he is charging only for the services of creating the backup disc, and that it is the responsibility of the buyer to buy knowing that he actually has the original...
