yeah and I hope his cat dies 🙂
I’d take both. Your decision does not alter what’s in the boxes as the decision has already been made. Of course that means that it’s almost certainly going to be empty because it’s illogical to miss out on a certain gain for a possible one. So that means that a logical decision can never yield the full reward and oh my god my eyes have gone crossed. Happy now Doc? /me takes a swing at the Doc and punches out the window he’s standing next to.
granted but it’s brought about by wiping out the human race.
I was I could punch people in the face via the internet.Nearly drowned in the Pacific on Maui.
Was out swimming in big surf like a load of other folk, we were staying out letting the waves lift and drop us and then going back to shore when the waves weren’t too bad. Me and the mrs got a bit close to shore and I a ten foot or so wave picked us up and deposited us on the beach (Mrs Stan being 7 stone lighter than me was taken much further in). I looked up to check she was alright even though I know you *never* turn your back on surf like that she was wrestling her bikini top back down but other than a few blushes unharmed.
So I turn back and see that the wave that picked us up was only the opening act for a f*cking monster that was blotting out the sun and breaking a couple of steps away from me. Figured that it was going to be like being hit by a speeding car so I’d try my luck at diving into it and hopefully get taken up away from the seabed. It was like running full tilt into a wall. Pile-drivered me into the seabed luckily I had my head tucked in so it was my shoulder that took the main hit (ended up bruised but no lasting damage). Now I’m underwater that’s filled with sand so I can’t see and I’ve no reference of up or down and the initial hit has taken the wind out of me. No idea how long I was under but it was long enough to stop panicking and become strangely relaxed even though I thought that it was certainly all over, then I caught a handful of seabed and figured I go for broke, dug my feet in and pushed. Broke the surface and got some air and realised that I’d been dragged back out to sea put I was behind where the waves were breaking. Started looking for Mrs Stan how was miles away having been hit by the same wave and taken further up the beach and had her knees knocked into her face and nursing a fat lip.
Got a lot of looks from the other people on the beach as I staggered out of the sea covered in sand, cuts and big sodding red patches where I’d been sand blasted. Took a couple of days to get back in the water too 🙂
P.S Glad you aren’t dead Doc.

I would have read 1984, but I’m not really into historical dramas.
It started out as sci-fi, does that help? 😀
Top book.
I had to temp at MBNA for a couple of months once, the training room there was room 101, nobody else got the reference.
I’ve had a wave for a few years now, with the screwdriver attachment deely. Easier that draggin a load of tools about although I do find I end up making do with whatever the leatherman’s got instead of going and getting the proper tool.
Tried using it for hunting but hoying it at an elk just resulted in in a severe goring (I wee in a bag now)
Tess,
Do you have access to another PC as well, you can run a Linux Live distribution to check your HD. Download Knoppix:
Write the file to a CD, if you haven’t got a anything that will write an ISO then download:
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
Which is a tiny iso burning program with no nasties in it.
Once you made the CD boot the laptop from it, usually you can do this by just having the cd in the drive when the machine is switched on or you might have to go into the boot setup and tell it to boot from the CD. Let me know if you have problems with it.
Knoppix runs entirely from the CD so you can run it on a machine with a duff Hard Drive, if it can read the hard drive you’ll see it as an icon on the desktop and you should be able to copy files you want to keep onto a USB key. If knoppix doesn’t boot it may be that it’s not a duff hard drive but something else wrong.
There is a sort of windows live cd at:
But I’ve never used it.
HTH
