Cool, thanks NickOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostLobby Lud.
It was a newspaper promotion - the paper would print a photo of a chap who would visit seaside resorts and if you recognised him and challenged him with the words "You are Lobby Lud and I claim my five pounds", you won the prize. The idea was used by Graham Greene in his novel Brighton Roock, later filmed by John Boulting and starring a young Richard Attenborough.

Gah - stop it!Originally posted by zeitghostI'm back...
Did one download but it booted me off after 10M of the other one...

Why they've disabled resume on the servers is beyond me... at least with that it would pick up where it left off.
I had a chance to catch up while you were away, and you've come back

They're not bad for what they are designed for.Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostCool, they're on offer in Maplins for £259, I'm sorely tempted...
Some things are a little frustrating - you can't change the screen resolution. Yahoo mail kept telling me to change it and I'd get a better experience, which is the most annoying thing.Comment
