    Batch resizing for Flickr using Paint shop pro?

    Liam, I've been using XnView for years, m8. It's a free download and I use the Batch Convert option quite a lot when I upload pics. It allows you to choose a size as well. Certainly recommended..... http://pagesperso-orange.fr/pierre.g/xnview/enxnview.html D.

    Virgin MAC code...

    LOL - so true. They normally biatch like a good 'un in giving you that information. Just ignore them and demand it. They have to give that info. D.

    Does anyone remember...

    I threw out my old 3Dfx card just after Christmas during a tidy-out. An Orchid Righteous 3D - cost me fecking £245 back in '97 as well! The best add-on card I ever bought was a Gravis Ultrasound when I was in Seattle. Totally pissed on the SoundBlaster 16ASP I had at the time. :) D.

    Timesonline 197 Cup Review

    I really need to see one in the flesh for me to like the looks of it more. All the promo shots I've seen of it (including the one on this review) look sh1t, imo. Like some rounded Korean fart-box motor. .....and I'm Mr. White Car + Black Alloys = Heaven..... <--- ;) D.

    Downloading Illegal Material

    I seriously think that the levels of choice these days, dictate the main driving force behind piracy. Think about it. Few people would pay, I don't know, say £60 on a box set of Lost DVDs - but if their mate said I'll rip you a copy on six DVD-Rs for a fiver (or even free?) - then they'll have...

    CAM BELT ??

    I thought the 172 Cup didn't have an aux belt? Could be wrong though.... D.

    Clio 182 running costs....

    Steve - in all honesty, the 182 isn't too bad on running costs. I'm currently sat on 33.9mpg and a tankful usually lasts me a week. Servicing costs are reasonable - and typically should be done at every 12k. The 36k service usually would be a good time for the auxiliary belt to be changed as...

    Not really. I know they are only jealous, anyway!.... :clown: D.

    Today's mooch out. Out-numbered by Vees again!

    Fancied a quick drive out (despite the crap weather) - so with a quick round up of the usual suspects, we met up at Lymm services. Then headed out to Jodrell Bank Jainy passing the ever important chocolate through.... ;) Clearly the dish was being used to collect water today...

    Leeds - the haven for black 197's.....

    Spotted three of them today while I've been at the Leeds depot. Two at the White Rose shopping centre and another on the M62. Didn't spot any stickers on any of them, though. Anyone? D.

    Vista 32 Bit & 64 Bit

    Fair point David. I'd love to sell my Retail copy of Vista Ultimate, say for around £30. But MSoft market forces mean that it worth a damn lot more than that. And guess what. I can't sell it for the going rate! :D D.

    Vista 32 Bit & 64 Bit

    You'll be music to the ears of Microsoft's accountants with that... "Charge them more Bill - they don't mind at all!" ;) Have you actually read the limitations of OEM? Have you changed your hardware much? That £60 you paid won't mean sh1t after a while. ....I'm not disputing that. But to be...

    Hehehe! Quality! :D Any chance of a Glanza reunion, now that the missus is an ex? ;) D.

    R27 wins Trackday car of the Year.....

    Good comments. Certainly looks like the R27 came out on top. I'd be mortified though if I owned an Astra VXR and it was slower around that track than a bloody 207 GTi! D.

    Black V6 Walton motors petrol station Chesterfield 6pm tonight

    I thought Chesterfield was only big enough for one Vee, Mossy? ;) Just a shame they've got the slower colour, eh?! D.

    Getting a starlet gt turbo, anyone persuade me not too?

    You need to PM TomSX - isn't the Glanza pretty much the same car? Think he had one for a while... D.

    Gearbox/Driveshaft Noise.

    That sounds promising! I bet it was still a big wedge of money though - even for the 40% left over? D.

    Vista 32 Bit & 64 Bit

    That's why I think the whole OEM stuff is just total b****cks. It shouldn't even need to get that far where you're phoning bloody Bangalore. :mad: Microsoft should just get of their fat arses and charge sensible rates for their O/S software. WTF can't XP Home or Vista Home Basic be on the...

    Contact number for dicky Sky box?

    Hi chaps, Has anyone got a contact number for Sky to speak to them about our dodgy Sky box? It's a standard one - not Sky Plus or HD or anything. Just one minute it receives certain channels, then the next minute it says "No satellite signal is being received" No. 28 appears on-screen too...
