MORE GEEKERY ! _and_ delivery* news.
I bought a "copposite av cable" for my iPhone. In my bedroom, I have a telly, but I couldn't watch anything like Freeview on there, because of the shit reception.

Now, I can stream movies from my Laptop, watch iPlayer, 4od (via YouTube), Movies I've actually downloaded to my iphone, music and radio.... all through the TV !... Plus it charges at the same time.

I no longer have to take my laptop to bed with me to do the same job, which I'm trying my best not to do any more as I get distracted and find it hard to get back to sleep. The cable was a lot cheaper than getting any other kind of Media Streamer thing, and a lot more conveniant, as I can put it in my bag when I go somewhere, like my mums, and want to watch something on the big telly there that I've downloaded.

Plus I finally bit the bullet and got Windows 7, as my version runs out in a few days.

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY ! GEEK WIN !

* What was wrong with the last thread? Nothing, I just missed it and wanted ATTENCHUN !

There is a sushi'n'bento shop opening near me soon, did you hear about that?

AND there is a shop down the road having a "Closing Down" sale, a different one.

Seeing as how I've had a 100% success rate on my Open Letters, I'm not sure what to ask for to open up, maybe a Burger King?

Hello Gonz
In spite of only understanding every other word in your post, here is the attention you need.

Tell us about the latest retail opportunities in Southgate, I can understand that.

Where do you get your limitless enthusiasm from? Can I have some please?

I think it comes from being a right sicko and emo in real life, gonz is my alter ego, for the most part.

I guess I'm more like a dog that's been locked indoors all day with nobody to throw it a bone, and then I come online and there are loads of people who throw me bones of attention.

Windows 7 huh?
i've tried the beta versions on old crappy laptops, and when it comes to upgrading the company computers in a few months the W7 will most definitely be the OS of choice.

i'd ask if you were my brother, but last I checked he wasn't living in London - you do share the same nickname though (his is Gonz IRL)

I'm going to have to rip and re-build the CD hacking the built in files to allow 'upgrade' of my RC1 copy.
I'll have to do a big back'n'upgrade over the weekend as my copy runs out any day now.

My flatmate had a go at me because I spent my last few bob on these gadgets (not that I ever borrow money from him), 'cus he's got a cracked copy, but I don't want a cracked copy of my OS, as if MS decided to be bastards (and they can, and have, in the past) they could cripple my computer.

a later-expiry enterprise version available for demo - i'm running that on the computer my teachers use for making materials for classes. i plan on getting the cheap upgrade eventually though

I went for the OEM version, it doesn't come with microsoft support, but I've never used that before anyway, and can't see me ever useing it.

then when I'm all weepy on the phone like "why don't you want to come to my house" and she didn't say anything and then later she's all "what time do I need to come for dinner" and I was all like why you wanna come over now and then she showed up with three brownies and a rose and skank wine
