A good song, but I always found it tremendously ironic that such an idealist couldn't keep the Beetles together.

an idealist, sure, but he was still human. and the Beatles were going to break up with or without an idealist as a member. their original manager died and they couldn't agree on a new manager; George was upset about his role (only 2 songs per record and no singles) and had started working outside the Beatles; Apple records was a mess; they all wanted to take the band in different directions; nobody else wanted anything to do with John's ideals at the time, etc..

and listen to one of the greatest songs ever made: Imagine by John Lennon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj8LR25HeJA[^] Here is the lyrics: Imagine there's no Heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one Enjoy.:)
Don't listen to the detractors link. The world needs people like you. Normal folk can wake up each morning, look at themselves in the mirror and think - "it could be worse, I could be like Link2006."

Yeah for me it's not that I don't like him. We just know nothing about him. He's like a bot. - Links to google video on commercials or other stuff. - Random links. - Posts about women and one mainly. That's about it. We know nothing else about him. He's made no real effort to fit in or make himself more well known. I have no idea what even one of his interests are except for "Gold-Digger" and I'm assuming he likes commercials especially those about cars. Again I have to infer most of this. I just get annoyed at being the outlet for his thoughts, moods and discoveries. It's like the lounge is his conscience (SP?) and that's it. We really don't know anything else about him. I don't even really know if he's a programmer. I've seen 2 posts from him briefly about C++ and that's it. Both in the lounge. I mean off the top of my head here goes: Jeffry - Photography and 3d programming. Jeremy - OGL, nutrition, sports and pondering real estate. Maunder - Bikes that would make Trump flinch at signing the check. CP. Australia. Nish - C++/CLI, chest pain. Driving...fast...really Fast...FAST. Ravi - Ham sandwiches but not so much anymore yet a true love for coding. Enjoys it a lot. Shog - Cphog but I'd love to let him cook a meal for me. I bet the man can make some tasty food. Dismantling laptops. Paul Watson - Photography, sometimes cricket, sometimes rugby and feeding edmund or ... well it's feeding something. Colin - He's recently got a new phone. I mean I could go down the list of people here and keep posting things about all of them. From broken PC's, Joan's Linux experiements pick just about any memember and you know something about their lives and their interests. With link all you are left is to conclude that car commercials and "Gold Digger" are his life. Both of those are now old subjects. Very old.

Unless this is another Colin, it was a few months ago now. :-D Currently I'm in the process of buying a new house. And (breaking news) I'll be in the market for a new laptop in a couple of months.

Meh. It's an ok song, but i wouldn't rate it among the "greatest ever made". 'Bout on par with Kermit the Frog's "Rainbow song"...

Like taking some shots with your Air Arms? :-D
Actually no, tried to find someone who wants to buy it. Going to upgrade to an FAC version so I'm thinking of selling it and then buying an FAC Classic version which will have a few more shots per charge (and the length is slightly longer but preferable for me). Hopefully I can make enough on the sale to cover the cost of the rifle itself and then I'll only have to pay for scope / silencer / charging bottle etc.
As of how to accomplish this I wouldn't have a clue at the moment and I'm too lazy to google it

Hope I'm making sense. Do you get what I'm trying to say or am I just a raving looney? Even if you do get my point I'm probably still a raving looney. No I don't take notes on people either. I just can memorize stuff very easily. Microsoft product keys? Read it twice and I've got it memorized for good. My brain just works that way.:-D So when people post (like you did when you were looking for a place to live and when you pointed out that good ASP developers don't just live in the U.S.) comments and such I'm able to remember it... I can remember *everything* unless, UNLESS it's something really important and my wife asked me to do it.:doh: For some reason I cannot remember those things and she knows how good my memory *is* so she really :suss: with me.

Havn't tried a local gun show (not many in Wales) and I'd get a better price selling it privately. I'm trying to see if my Godfather wants it, he was very interested when he visited a fortnight ago.
Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9 Ed
