where are you now?

Re: Wifi router

Colin

I bought a Netgear wireless router from dabs.com, for about 70quid I think. It included a free wireless card which works well fine, too.

I could find you the details if you have any probs.

What a wonderful thread, Powerskipper! Wish I'd seen it last evening. Currently in the office at New Milton, Hampshire, Great Britain, on Braodband & desk-top, having realized it's too late to get down to the yacht club (on Beaulieu River) for a mite luncheon, so will probably cut along and see how the new engine instalation in the M.G is fairing (original block just been rebored to 1980cc by Oseli of Whitney - v. exciting). On the other hand - I suppose I could get on with some work. Ahem !

In the office in London eating a vile sandwich at my desk and getting crumbs in my laptop keyboard. (Clive - shouldn't you be getting back to your eco-solids? Some of them appear to have found their way into my lunch).

Didn't see this post last night, as I only have crappy dialup ISP access at home and can't often be bothered with the hassle, but was in Hampshire, putting the kids to bed and then cooking supper, 'cos I'm a new man (SWMBO was out with friends on the razzle). Didn't watch Jimmy Nesbit and Billie Piper, having seen it before, but will re-watch the Wife of Bath's Tale when they repeat it, because anything Julie Waters appears in is brilliant, and this was particularly good.

Maybe some boating at the weekend; nearly our last chance this year, as she's coming out on 28th. /forums/images/icons/frown.gif

Yea - should be really but it's all such a load of ess aitch one tee . . .
Who or what is/are Jimmy Nesbit and Billie Piper? Am I out of touch or somfink?
Peter Day on "In Business" on the Home Service was good though - all about Dubaii and it's potential. Listened to it in bed whilst going through a license agreement for ess aitch one tee processing while SWMBO was at pantomime rehearsals - she's playing Dracula's Grandmother in Frankenstein the Pantomime, type-cast again . . .
Must try to get a life sometime, really.

Re: Wifi router

This is the package I bought.

Apols, it was a bit more than I had remembered. However, you can buy the two items seperately if you don't need both.

It was relatively simple to set up, with an hour of quiet time to spare.

Hope this helps.

My sandwich

It was paste-like.......... but I really don't want to think about it any further!

Jimmy Nesbit is an extremely talented and versatile Irish actor, who plays anything from light comedy to very serious drama. I don't think I have ever seen him turn in a duff performance.

Billie Piper was a teenage pop star who married Chris Evans (a popular music radio announcer twice her age, M'Lud, and between you and me, a bit of a tosser). She has now taken up acting and, though I'd like to be bitchy about her, she's actually shown quite a lot of promise in the things she has appeared in, so far. She was cast opposite Nesbit in the Miller's Tale, one of a series of modern reworkings of The Canterbury Tales, which was repeated on telly last night. As one of our more cultured contributors has noted, there was a fair bit of on-screen intimacy taking place, but, although the series was rather patchy, both this and the Wife of Bath's Tale (passim, above) were really rather good.

But you won't have seen it if you were listening to the Steam Radio /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

About as far as you can get from the sea in the UK, ie Leeds, West Yorks. Sat at the desktop trying to persuade myself to get on with the work I'm supposed to have done by tonight and failin miserbly. Can't get images of Loch Torridon and my little boat out of my head.

Re: My sandwich

Sorry about the sarnie - do try lime in it next time.

Thanks too for the culture lesson. I did see the Miller's Tale in the programme listings but failed to note the cast and probably quite wrongly , nay sadly, was put off by its being a repeat. I was also put off by the write-up of chanel 4's latest dose of sexual gratification so decided on the steam wireless. Very good it was too, especially with my mug of instant Horlicks (Light of course). SHMBO nagged me into getting my first televisor (with DVD and other appendages) two Christmases ago and to be blunt, I rather resent its intrusion.

Anything worth viewing over the coming week-end? Boat still out of the water.

I assume this was aimed at the comment I made in my post. I suppose I could have put it slightly more tastefully......

Re: My sandwich

Tee hee!

To be honest, I seem to remember turning to SWMBO when we first saw the programme and saying something along the lines of "Blimey! There was an awful lot of sh@gging in that"!

But I'm always on my best behaviour on bulletin boards. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

In response to Clive's question about whether there will be anything decent on telly this weekend, the answer is "no" - with the possible exception of the return of "Have I got news for you" on the Beeb tonight.

The News Quiz

Me too.... especially the dulcet tones of Charlotte Green. I was at university with her, so can lay claim to have been listening to said tones (and on occasion, in the same studio, because she started out on the Campus Radio Station) for longer than anyone else on these boards.

Dubious claim to fame, really /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Re: The News Quiz

Oh James - my hero!

I should love to be shipwrecked on a desert island with that lady. If ever you're having drinkspotty and she's going to be there, DO let me have an invite, please!

I know what, perhaps I should arrange for her to come to the R.S.Y.C. and give readings from the Shipping Forecast - ooooh, the very thought . . .
