Over here, debts must be collected via the courts if all other means fail. A previous resident here has obviously run up an undischarged debt as, one day, a bailiff appeared on the doorstep. He was surprised to learn that we'd been here three years - the claimant had not checked the register of electors and neither had the court granting the warrant! However, minus a power of entry, and provided with a reasonable explanation, he departed and and has not returned. One alarming point of law is that, if one leaves ones home insecure (e.g. a window open), a bailiff may enter and seize property and it is then up to the rightful owner to prove ownership. This is rather like legalised burglary!

Really happy for you, Dean! At long last you will have the essentials of life and a little gaming as a bonus!

NoScript is very effective but, in these days when so many legit sites run them, it can be a real PITA!

I reckon you must be "fearless" to play among people who sometimes forget to take their medication... Welcome to the forums and expect we'll meet in BF3 sometime (if you have COD5, hop over to DM and Freezetag for a giggle if you have a mic'!).

They're trying to hype this up with a "World Reveal" on 1 May. RIP COD - it's a dead format after the last two awful games.

Video showing building and launch. Shame the American reporter couldn't get the nature of the jubilee right... It's diamond not silver!

I checked and your name is still there. I have a present for you next time you're in game...

If we all laid down on our bellies on mountain tops at the edges of the maps, it wouldn't make for much of a game, would it? There's always a need for medics and, in the maps that are the best fun, the engineers (my favourite class). My kdr must be below 0.4 now but, to be honest, I haven't checked in a long while as it doesn't matter to me.

As I have even had fellow Englishmen asking this today, I thought I'd post his brief bio. It comes from the ucatholic.com website as he is the "saint of the day" but, if you look at any Church of England church throughout the year, you'll see the Cross of St George flying outside it. People often wonder how it is that a Middle Eastern martyr, revered even by Muslims, came to be the patron saint of England. It appears his story was brought back home by returning crusaders and he was adopted. So, I introduce you to our patron saint, St George... Pictures of St. George usually show him killing a dragon to rescue a beautiful lady. The dragon stands for wickedness. The lady stands for God’s holy truth. St. George was a brave martyr who was victorious over the devil. Born, in Syria Palaestina, he was a soldier in the army of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, and he was one of the Emperor’s favorite soldiers. Now Diocletian was a pagan and a bitter enemy to the Christians. He put to death every Christian he could find. St. George was a brave Christian, a real soldier of Christ. Without fear, he went to the Emperor and sternly scolded him for being so cruel. Then he gave up his position in the Roman army. For this he was tortured in many terrible ways and finally beheaded. So boldly daring and so cheerful was St. George in declaring his Faith and in dying for it that Christians felt courage when they heard about it. Many songs and poems were written about this martyr. Soldiers, especially, have always been devoted to him. He is the patron of many countries including, England, Palestine, Portugal, Malta, and more. He is a patron of Soldiers and one the 14 Holy Helpers.

To all those around the world to whom St George is their patron saint, to all English members and players and those who love our green and pleasant land, I wish a Happy St George's Day! http://youtu.be/88XZMiCT9Cg

100F = 37C. That is cool for a graphics card.

Sorry, old boy, I don't understand your banter...

Better to post in Appeals and describe what happened. An Admin will then respond.

I blame the ignorance of those polled, personally. The flag has been displayed at far right demos but that does not make it an exclusive emblem of the far right! The flag will never be racist but that doesn't mean a moron will never display it...

A common sound card/chip-related problem. Solved simply by some by merely plugging in a headset/mic. Guess you are using Realtek onboard sound? I solved all my problems by using a Steelseries USB external soundcard. Loads on Google about this.

24% of those surveyed for a YouGov poll considered the English flag "racist", reports The Daily Telegraph. As a proud Englishman, my response, in the vernacular is...bollocks! The Cross of St George is special to me and all true English men and women! Tomorrow is our patron saint's day - St George's Day - and it is a scandal that it is not a public holiday and celebrated as other patron saints' of these isles are e.g. St Patrick's Day. I shall do so! Those of like mind are invited to enjoy this stirring patriotic hymn - Jerusalem - and to wave the red cross on white tomorrow! And did those feet in ancient time. Walk upon England's mountains green: And was the holy Lamb of God, On England's pleasant pastures seen! And did the Countenance Divine, Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here, Among these dark Satanic Mills? Bring me my Bow of burning gold; Bring me my Arrows of desire: Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold! Bring me my Chariot of fire! I will not cease from Mental Fight, Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand: Till we have built Jerusalem, In England's green & pleasant Land

Yes, I saw that. Excellent news.

DJ's correct, it's impossible to reduce your ping, unless you are the owner of an ISP who change which route it takes to reduce the number of hops. I did manage a small improvement by taking up the offer from my ISP of an "optimised" service so that my gaming traffic is prioritised when playing supported games. The reduction I saw was in the order of 10-22ms at best, is greatly variable and costs me an extra £5 per month. Whether it is worth the outlay is debatable. The best ping I have seen when playing a non-XI, UK-based server, has been 25ms.

Wonderful news! You have real talent and it is great to see it rewarded in these ways!

Sometimes, we try too hard to get to the greener grass. In the process, we end up in trouble. And when you find yourself in trouble and you're stuck in a situation that you can't get out of, there is one thing you should always remember: Not everyone who shows up...Is there to help you!!!!
