It was a couple of years now when I last did it. I do remember it being a right royal PITA but it was worth it in the end. I can't even try it now cos my laptop would only show half a table. The only piece of advice I can give is that I recall most games have separate different versions of the same ...

Prime numbers and anonymous Star Wars actors seem to crop up a lot.

The latter I don't think I've ever got right. Although I do seem to have an "idiot savant" type ability to pick out the prime numbers every time.

Anyone remember William's "Medieval Madness" ?? Probably one of the greatest pinball games ever invented - genuinely funny and exciting. Hadn't seen it for about a decade then I stumbled (literally) into it in a bar in Amsterdam. Spent a helluva lot of money trying to complete it for the f...

Ridiculous really, but if I'm ever nudging to leave 2 of a kind on the winline for a let 'em spin, where possible, I always try to leave the fruits matching on reels 1 and 3. Not as ridiculous though, as the old bat I witnessed not only having a full-blown albeit one-sided discussion with a Rainbow ...

My Seat Leon (similar to VW Golf) is quite fun to drive, not bad MPG, not bad looking and reliable.

Looks like a mispelling but I'm sure it's not.

I'm guessing something American.

Here's an idea that I've been mulling awhile - the ethical side of it is pending. Advertise a pill on Ebay for £1,000 that will GUARANTEE the sex of your baby. Offer a full money back guarantee if they don't get the sex they want. They ask for a boy. Send them a blue sugar pill. For a girl, have a p...

Brilliant! Reminds me of the Glaswegian on Dragon's Den tonight trying to flog Mobility Scooters hooked up to a machine that wouldn't have looked out of place in the 70s.

Forgot to say, any virus or any other shite you have will disappear when you reinstall Windows. I'm no expert, but to my knowledge, there is no virus or any other nastiness that can damage the hardware. Therefore wiping it and starting from scratch will solve all your problems. All you need to do is...

If you still have your Windows installation disc, all you need to do is stick it in the drive and when your laptop fires up, press F8/F12/F10 (can't actually remember which one) - when a menu appears asking you what you want to do, go for the "boot disk" option or similar and it should be ...
