  1. I've also been banging on about the Flashman books for years on here as has Blue Phil. Maybe we need a short list of recommended books we can post so people don't have to search for yonks. Other richly recommended books seem to include Curiuus Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, This Thing Called Darkness, Short History of Nearly Everything etc...we just need someone who can be bothered enough to go back and read through all the threads...

    Regarding the Flashman series it is worth noting that in the first book Flashman is a much nastier piece of work than in the rest and far more amoral. In the rest of the series his japes and cadly behaviour are generally amusing in tone but the first book is very dark and it is hard to sympathise with him at all at times.

    Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time and Short History of Nearly Everything: Read both and loved them. This Thing of Darkness: Reading now and loving it. This is a very good thread and the list (which Colin is making) is a good idea - I can just take the list to the library now!

  2. This OS has been out for long enough for people to decide how good it is. Does anyone else have it installed? If so, do you rate it?

    I absolutely hate it. To start with I quite liked it, but none of the problems I have with it have been addressed and I feel as if Microsoft don't care. Which they probably don't. My clock is always wrong no matter what I do with the BIOS or the update options, fies take much longer to transfer and inaccurate time remaining calculations are becoming very annoying ("twelve days remaining"!). User Account Control is ironically far too invasive, and still there are too many compatability issues. I also find that I have a big problem watching some videos, with VLC in particular struggling to display video at an acceptable frame rate. Oh, and every DVD video I have burned has been so poor I actually literally burned the DVD afterwards!.

    This is Vista Home Basic, so the more expensive versions may be better, but on this showing I certainly won't be upgrading. Now, how do I get XP installed instead?

  3. To the tune of 'Video Killed the Radio Star'

    We heard it on the wireless back in ninety-five,

    A nation watched us win the league on sky sports live,

    Now twelve years later Sparky keeps our dreams alive...

    We get no credit from the biased southern press,

    We are the cause of much of the FA's distress,

    While so called big clubs are jealous of our sucess...

    Can anyone add more? If it's worth it?

  4. For no good reason I updated the squads and have just finished. If anyone wants me to send it via ps3, let me know but be warned - it isn't 100% accurate. Similarly, if anyone out there does have an up to date squad list or will be able to download it and send it via ps3 when the new one comes out, please let me know!

  5. Yep. I have been getting more and more upset just thinking about it though. I paid £50 for this last monday and now what am I left with.

    I have been so angry with it I wanted to write to Ubisoft but cant even find a mail address for them

    If people want an excellent VERY SHORT shooter with a bad ending get this.

    Trade it in and get Oblivion. Still playing it now and have loads left to do... For longevity, it has been well worth the money!

  6. So thankfully, this saga can be put to bed. Bentley demonised and that's an end to it.

    Or is it?

    Dave is currently enjoying a desrved break from the heckling in Dubai and is said to be very much looking forward to stepping up a gear for Rovers next season and proving his doubters wrong.

    Don't be surprised if the full details of his absence from the Championships come out in a few weeks time - there is more to the situation. It won't be the best news for Psycho, but then again, that is if the press decide to report it properly...

  7. Bentley is staying.

    He wants to play football week in week out and he knows he will not get that anywhere. In fact, the prospect of him rejoining Arsenal makes him laugh. Why should he go to be a mediocre aspect of a 'big' club when he can stay at Rovers and be a big part of the team. As long as we are pushing for Europe places he will remain.
