Excellent, it's not that he was hungover but rather a "confluence of events" that affected his interview

Cannot believe most of the Cork jazz festival events are on the two days before DCM and the day of DCM. Would happily spend the weekend drinking and listening to amazing music...

yeah it kinda sucks :-(

Does anyone know anything about digital pianos? When I used to play pianos came in two types: grand or upright.... Now I seem to need to be an electronic engineer to buy a piano. I'd love a "real" one but we just don't have the room.

robinph

We had an old upright one years ago, but then the parents got an early electronic one as it started to fall apart and they got annoyed with calling out the tuner all the time I think. I was only ickle myself at the time, but I suspect the upright one had taken quite a beating over the years with all of us kids learning on it.

No help really I guess, sorry.

Now that you say it, why is the picture so good? you wouldn't get good quality pic or sound from a camera phone. Thought I recognised that guy too. Damn it, I've been had!!

I think it was the sound quality that gave it away, they had to be miked up. Someone said it was going to be used in schools for an anti-litter campaign.

Guy I used to work with knew "Yu Ming"* and his family, being Chinese himself too. China was apparently somewhere around Moore Street I think.


*Apologies if my non-existent Irish has just called the character My Name rather than Aimn Dom.

I can't believe I just watched all 9 minutes of that.. You'd know I was off the drink.

When I was watching the first couple of minutes I thought that was going to be the reveal (or one of them anyway)

I guess he could be used to prove that Irish language teaching here isn't as bad as most Irish would like to claim.

These hikes on Ilha Grande are a serious workout. Plenty more to come in Argentina, Peru and New Zealand. I dont think I need to worry anymore about losing my fitness while travelling.

The new series of the Inbetweeners just gets better and better! Can't believe Simon has finally gotten a girlfriend...

I couldn't stop laughing after I saw the highlights of that match last night. I know it's the Carling Cup, but still... :pac:

Here, you're all computer geeks. Anyone any good with crappy PC's? My sisters computer is overridden with viruses, managed to get rid of some of them myself but there's still a load of trojans that I don't have a clue how to get rid of seen as she has no proper virus software...


It's times like these I really appreciate my macbook! :pac:

AVG Free

I've actually tried that but it keeps saying that the administrator access needed to delete files, even though I'm signed in as administrator.

Right click and select Run as Administrator.

I've used hijackthis a couple of times to get rid of nasty things, seem to work but usually would use this along with free avg.

Krusty_Clown

I've switched from AVG to Microsoft Security Essentials. AVG got a little annoying with their nag screens and upgrade paths.
