Mr Darn

i know what you mean...i been on the sick for 6 months now with a cracked flask...

no, i doubt it. the lad i knew once upon a time was origionally from bedlington.

we used to be able to hang from our legs, no arms, from them, and release our legs and twisting in such a way we landed on our feet. it looked well impressive! also there was the red ring swing, where you'd get as high as you could and jump off, trying to reach the monkey bars without touching the floor. i only ever seen anyone do it once! lol the only other thing i remember was hangman... you had to hang from the middle bar, and one by one people would hang off you till you fell...the winner, obviously, was the one who had the most people hanging when they finally let go. i think my record was 3! lol

its not a vivid memory, but yeah, i remember the building, and i remember being stuck up there on that roof as a wee'un. Or perhaps i remember someone else being stuck, and the memory has morphed into me being up there, i dont know. i do remember a lad called barry jones, on a sledge, on the roof, into a pile of leaves tho... That was some funny stuff! lol

But, on the huge grand scale of things, if my intention was as you say, and the only stumbling block was a 'hello', then i'd say hello and do it anyways! just like you have to become a member to view the forum, this one extra thing isn't gonna stop anyone who's set to do what you think they will... however, we have most areas covered by moderators now, so a 5 post 'moderator approval' bond might not be a bad plan... and may be a better way to check out the person and stop the viagra sales before they hit the board (with us imposing permanant mod approval on the account at the first viagra related offence) . You can do that with this forum software right? I think this could be a good debate! what exactly do you think these 'non posters' are intending to do? and how does saying hello change that fact? I'm not trying to be awkward, just wanna see it from your point of view...

the big square climbing frame has gone now too. i liked that climbing frame!

any memories of what it was used for? or why it was knocked down?

Hear Hear! Whats the harm in some members just having a read of whats going on to keep up? If they aind doing any harm.... can you imagine if sites like Wiki said you had to contribute to use the service? Plus...some peoples opinions are best kept to themselves! and more power to them for keeping quiet

the tavern had the keys for a while, but good sources say the owners of the Windmill in Blyth have it now...

I was having a chat today that stirred some old memories..... Can anyone else remember a small church like building at the entrance to West Lea cemetary? and if so, anyone got pictures? i seem to remember climbing on the roof of this building as a young'un to get a better shot with my 'conker stick'! anyone got any info?

well, looking at the dates on the tomato's today, there'll be plenty to throw tommorrow!

Finally! something a little concrete! one thing i do notice is, the sun is named, and the tavern building is there, but just named as a PH? (public house?) i wonder if the lack of detail on the name means something...... dont see a petrol station there as rumoured either...

What a crock! i mean, come on...how long has vista been out now? vista will become the same as the old windows milenium, and all those i told to upgrade will be saying 'see? told ya!' lets hope they release the OS to the likes of NVidia so some decent drivers can be developed before the release this time! time to buy another new printer! (linux here i come!)

i did before i realised.... yeah! Its got me bad! you see, when i make diluted orange, i put the orange in first, and in the stream of the water its almost unnoticable. it wasnt till i filled the bath the "wtf???" sprang up.

Back to the topic, i see there's more works going on down Ridge Terrace... ...and i still have the trotts!

i'm sorry to hear that jorga should you fancy another crack at it, let me know and i'll do a step by step guide of the way i do it, see if its something simple were overlooking.

lol, the green thing and the red thing?

she tried to give em away as cleaning cloths, but i hear there wasnt enough material! lol

why? its not a case of accessing any pc anywhere, i have to be physically at the slave pc in the first instance to add the software to the administrator account, and encrypt it to only allow myself access, but once its installed, its a simple enough process to access it after that. of course, the utility can be turned off at the slave pc with a simple mouse click, if required, disabling my access until it is re-enabled. As for the home thing, i had to be corrected too, as i had a xp pro laptop to begin with, and couldnt understand why i couldnt get it to work on the new one! lol

and its a great utility... if you have anything but the home version. unfortunatly you need a Win XP Pro computer to initiate the connection at minimum (i believe) and something higher than vista home basic. LogMeIn is web based, with only a small file upload needed, and does what i need, for free! if you know of a way i can access other pc's with no user interaction from the slave pc, even from the windows login page, without a 3rd party utility, on XP home, i'll be keen to hear it

After a bad case of the trollops today, i noticed my afternoon bathwater is brown! anyone know whats going on? same anywhere else? Bleargh!

Yeah, i have several computers i maintain on a regular basis. for this i use a utility called "LogMeIn" which allows me to take control of the other computer as tho i was sat infront of it. it always amazes the other party to see their computer apparently 'fixing itsself'! also a very good way of demonstrating how to do something to someone by 'show and tell' rather than by written directions. Very handy! Pleased you got sorted tho

so there is a good chance the tavern is safe?? i still cant open that other page!

I'll assume with so much excelent advice kicking about in this thread (i especially liked the 'uninstall mcnaffy- sorted!' comment!) i think we can safely assume this is solved. As a footnote, NEVER access the internet without an Antivirus installed. If need be, download one from another computer and install to the new machine via flashdrive or cd. Too many nasties out there these days to be going unprotected! (unless you dont use M$ of course )
