Having played 10 or 12 matches now, I have now got bored with it. Good fun, but a bit repetative really. Glad I didn't pay for it...... Right - on to Silent Hunter 5.

They're all drunk, Scottish, heroin addicts with names like Spud and Begbie? (or sad gits in raincoats with cameras)

Watching the old 70s spy-type show, 'Callan' on DVD. Remember it vaguely from when I was a wee boy. Edward Woodwood in great form. Looks very dated, but strong scripts, some decent performances, fairly dark in nature, and overall very engaging. Thoroughy enjoyable.

I really am in love with this club again. Integrity, professionalism, ever increasing community-spirit, and finance to drive us forward. Optimisim is a thing we have rarely had the taste of over the past decade.

Relatively new - certainly last 4/5 months. I think it is on XBox too.

Hate to see it go, but needs must. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1978-LANCIA-BETA-MONTE-CARLO-/230473495185?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item35a94a7291

Can't disagree with that. I hope to hell he is staying; he may not be the best manager in the world, but he is pretty good: certainly capable of getting us out of L1, and we could do with keeping things on an even keel for a while. Rarely smoke without fire though.

Soap opera Saints again, eh? Oh for some stability. Hope you are wrong but I have a feeling......... So: better for him to go now or in December next season?

C'mon. More detail. Sitting here watching Se7en. I think the eighth deadly sin is posting rumours on internet boards! Tell us more good man!

Is a good laugh. I used to be a geeky spotty kid into D&D, wargames etc. Loved the original Blood Bowl board game. Basically American Football, played by fantasy races, with loads of fighting. I am now a geeky, spotty 30-something, and love computer games. Took a stroll down memory lane by getting hold of Blood Bowl. 'Turn based' mode replicates the board game, with decent graphics and amusing commentary. Simple, violent, sport based fun. And yes, I have called my team the Saints......

...which I think classes the dismissal as 'Automatically Unfair'. I might be wrong though; bet your lawyers will know!

How can a former professional athlete NOT have the self control and self respect to avoid looking like that? Christ!

He is? Always looked bigger to me. So, how big is 9 inches then.....?

How would you feel if we signed Lee Hughes? (Note - I am talking purely theoretically here - I have no evidence to suggest we might). 31 goals in 43 for Notts County. Big, strong target man type. Could be a decent shout as cover for Rickie next season. But.....the baggage. The type of guy you would want in a Saints shirt?

Stunning. I am not a huge fan of heights, and some of those gave me butterflies. There are some nutters in the world, but you have to take your hat off to them.

Saythe****what? Go on, enlighten us.......

Yep. Was my first choice. I looked at Said, Cass, and a couple of others. Best year of my life: seriously hard work, and would do it again tomorrow if I could.

Warwick Business School.

Some pretty conclusive advice here - many thanks. My gut feel was to stick as is, but thought it worth floating the question out there. I am very happy with my CV (thanks for the link Chrisobee), the only concern is the few short roles; perhaps this is more an issue for me than employers. Will put that out of my mind now. I do like the suggestion in the link about just putting the years of employment rather than years and months though....might give it a go. Cheers all.

So, I have recently been made redundant. Ah well, onwards and upwards etc. Most recently I was with company A for 2 years - left due to redundancy Prior to that with company B for 10 months - I was made redundant Prior to that I did a full time MBA (1 year) Prior to that with company C for 9 months - left to do the MBA (I was given a scholarship which halved the fees if I went in 2005, rather than 2006 as I had planned) Prior to that with company D for 6.5 years Prior to that with company E for 3 years I am a little uncomfortable about having a few short-term roles on the CV; although I can show some decent achievements in each role, and left for genuine reasons (redundancy and scholarship, rather than being crap). Hence in interviews I can address this with confidence. That said I am thinking about 'massaging' the time I was with company C, and making it 18-20 months. This would show slightly more stability, and not detract from other achievements. It is unlikely they would ever be used as a reference now: the company has changed hands and most of the old bosses have moved on. My aim in doing this is purely to help get more interviews; I have only just started my latest job search, so am unsure if I will struggle to secure interviews or not. I know there are some recruitment types who read the forum, and I wondered what your views on this would be? Clearly there are implications if an employer spotted my creative history making......but on the other hand it might be worth it. Advice welcome!

Watched 'Kick Ass' a few days ago, here in sunny Thailand. Luckily in English, unlike whne I watched Harry Potter out here...! Good film. Funny, and a little bit clever. My only issue is trying to understand how it was meant to be received: some LOL moments, some lighthearted stuff, some comic-book capers. Nicholas Cage does a fantastic ****-take accent. But some overly strong violence too.....who wants to see a grown man smash an 11 yr old girl in the face; repeatedly? Yes, he's a bad guy, but come on...... Funny, silly, enjoyable nonsense, with the odd uncomfortable moment. 8/10.

Bump for any advice. Really ****ing me off now!

Nothing unusual in Device Manager; no yellow circles, questions marks etc. Do you need more detail than that? I am guessing somne kind of driver issue; bt all drivers are up to date and direct from the Dell site.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop, with XP on it. All works fine. Have tried to install a webcam, but I cannot get the laptop to 'see' it. This happens: Install webcam software Webcam software tells me to plug in webcam, but then sits there without seeing the webcam. Meanwhile, a dialogue box opens telling me Windows is trying to install a new USB device, and do I want to do it automatically etc If I try installing the webcam via the windows dialogue box I get no joy....device not recognised or some such No matter which USB port I plug into, I get the same result; and other devices (already installed on the laptop) work in all USB ports. I have tried a new webcam, with same outcome. The webcam does install on other machines. I am now getting seriously ****ed off. Any advice welcomed.

He was superb. There was a moment half way through the first half when Robson had the ball, knocked it past Harding and tried to beat him for pace. Harding gave a 'you have to be kidding' look, beat him over 15ish yards, took the ball, turned inside and casually laid the ball off. Pure class, and got a deserved round of applause.
