We can have all the ratings systems in the world, but they're for nothing if the parents buy the games for their kids. A case in point: I was walking through the town centre the other day and saw a lad of around 11-12 years old with a copy of Clive Barker's Jericho. This is a VERY horrific game, and rightly deserves it's 18 Certificate. It was fairly obvious that his Dad had bought it for him, as 'It's only a game, innit?'
He's dropped the price to 1,500GBP now, and said that it's been sold outside of Ebay. He also says that he can't cancel the auction, so please don't bid and please don't call him!
I think Mr. Bevan could do well to take a leaf out of the book of an ex-colleague of mine who was from Wales. When confronted by the inevitable 'sheep shagger' comments, his only reply was 'We shag them and you eat them!' See, Mr Bevan, that is what is technically known as a JOKE, as is the original article.
Er, I don't know what sort of patio heater you've ever come across, but all the ones that I've ever come across are, without exception, gas powered. And they're extremely good at what they do as well.
I've just tried to download the new version, and the website absolutely refuses to recognise my serial number as a valid one. Time for an e-mail to o2 methinks....
Further to Simon's comment above, my Dad has a house in central Brittany, and everyone we know is amazingly friendly. It's possibly still the funniest thing ever hearing my Dad speak Breton-accented French.

One, amanfromMars post that is actually *comprehensible*? And two, that sub-heading sounds like a show from TvGoHome!

In Microsoft hawks Home Server
1. Find oldish, but still fairly decent machine.
2. Add Hard drives to suit
3. Install $FREEOS of choice with Samba
This would certainly be my preference, and it would probably be a lot more stable and reliable as well!
