I wish Microsoft would feck off with the free windows 10 upgrade

I have tried and get an error message so I can't upgrade to it ??

A pain in the Arse. I relented, and tried to install. It then spent 4 hours looking for updates. I gave up in the end

I've downloading the iso image and burning it to a disc. Hoping it will work that way

scanned my PC with the tweaking.com windows repair tool (took 11 hours) and updated perfectly to Windows 10 from an iso image

Yeah just updated to windows 10 myself, it had really started to p!ss me off how it was suddenly asking me to update several times a day so why not. Doesn't seem that much has changed really although I haven't done much with it yet

I'm getting messages telling me to upgrade as well. How long did it take to set up? I've read a few horror stories of people waiting 4 hours plus which sounds a right headache.

I let it do all the prep work in the background (downloading whatever it needed to do the job) then clicked install now as I went out for a run, about 1.5hrs later I got back and it was around 80% so after showering and a few other things it was done although it still took 5/10 m to fully set up then.

Guess I'm saying it might take a few hours so schedule to do it while your busy offline doing something (watching a movie or whatever) and it won't be so annoying.

Took me about 30 minutes maybe less. Key is to keep your pc consistently updated, so you're better off updating it as soon as you can. If you don't then you're basically telling your system to find the updates to make itself compatible, then finding a base update and then eventually searching for upgrades and updating itself again.

Amber Heard filing a domestic abuse restraining order against Johnny Depp that won't go down well with his main employer Disney I'm guessing with a couple of big Disney films coming out in the next few years with Johnny as the selling point for them.

She released a picture of a black eye.

Fúckin hell, I never thought Johnny would be that way. Amber is seriously gorgeous too.

There's never an excuse for hitting a woman though, he should face charges if true

The domestic abuse restraining order being brought against Johnny Depp, not only will it be problematic for Disney, but it could also be the end of him in Hollywood Vampires to boot.. Hitting a woman, that's just stooping to the lowest of lows..

The Boss rocked Croker earlier. Bruce not Sasha btw.. Have seen some complaining about the sound and it did start off a little muffled but by halfway through he was rocking it loud and clear. I can't believe his energy for a 66 year old man. Going again Sunday night!

Hopefully Sasha joins him on Sunday. Heading down for it as well

And yet, when you see some of the accusations the likes of Elijah Wood and Corey Haim are throwing about in the last few weeks, it makes you realise it's nothing compared to some of the seediness that infests Hollywood

Town was crazy I had to walk from Drumcondra to past Christchurch before I could get one. Normally you'd get a taxi any time you want.

You look at how Woody Allen and Polanski are still revered in Hollywood, its a very sleazy industry.

Send the wrong tweet or post the wrong thing on Facebook and your career is over abuse somebody in anyway and it's all brushed under the carpet and everything continues as normal.

Guess when it comes to Hollywood, money talks, bull**** walks rings true..

Depp

I think you're able to reschedule it to a few days in advance as that's what I've been doing. As far as I know the offer to update ends in July.

In other news, I turned 30 today. Not long now til the mid-life crisis kicks in.

I felt there was a lot of that through the show (feeling I've seen certain tricks or variations of tricks before). The nail in a bag, for instance, I'm fairly certain I saw Penn and Teller explain the trick. The "skeptic reading" trick was on America's Got Talent a few years back.

But it was really enjoyable, and I loved it. Seeing the tricks live, watching the crowd reaction, really funny.

Did you have a

big, bruised entry?

:P
