OK. I've fixed the hard disk and it boots Windows happily and all 3 partitions on it are OK.

But now I have a USB dongle with Ubuntu on it that will not boot because the boot tool is pants.

I can boot from the Ubuntu CD so I thought I'd try to make the USB bootable in some way...

May I suggest ditching linux and using XP? After 2 service packs it's really quite good.

At the end of the universe, or when the oil runs out.

I suspect the mods will get bored of it and just delete it one day and probably reset all post counts to zero like they do on other bulletin boards.

Working on the assumption that she has:

a) gone to bed
and
b) does not catch up on old posts

it goes back to when I first posted on TPD.

I foolishly joined in with the flirting. It did not go down very well.

Then there was the 60-odd questions that everyone had a go at answering where one was "were you adopted?" and my answer caused offence. The last straw for her was my using the expression "are you fishing?" (i.e. for complements) without appreciating it might not be a commonly known expression and so was misunderstood.

I got a torrent of abuse, I tried explaining, got more abuse, tried apologising, got nowhere and thought "I don't need this fertiliser" and dumped her on my ignore list. Where she has remained.

The one exception was one night when she was posting profusely one night. I undid the ignore and it appeared to have been a fairly heavy night out. I decided the sensible thing to do was put the ignore back.

Ah - I remember it well.

Not quite sure I remember it happening in that way, but there you go.

Each to their own, I guess, but does it not go against the TPD rule of being nice to people here? I'd say that it was a while back, and you are missing out on a lot by ignoring CM (plus it must make following some of the conversations difficult).

I finished the XMAS port last night - will be teetotal for a few months now.

My Missus treated herself to a bottle of Taylors for Xmas.

She's really been hammering it (by her standards). The neck has gone and the fluid level is now half way down to the top of the label.

Outrageous behaviour!

Needless to say ... she doesn't drink much.

You are AtW and I claim my 5 squirrel pies.
