Hi I got the BSOD yesterday when booting up, i think it's the g/card because the pc will boot in safe mode ok but not normally. Also if I then disable the card, and re-boot it will boot up normally (albeit in low res) Windows then finds the driver and asks me to re-boot, but if I do I get the BSOD again. So I think the g/card is knackered and I've ordered a new 'un I hope (please) this fixes it. JT

I truly am sorry to hear this news. I haven't been able to visit the site (apart from briefly logging on) or play much for the last few months myself, so I only stumbled across this sad news today. When I first started to play on the idiots servers years ago, Johnny, along with a few others was the first clan mate that I talked to, being at first very 'mike shy'. I used to be pleased as punch if he saw me in game and called out 'hi Johnny Tams!......believe me I felt as though I was accepted...and it meant a lot. Although I never met Johnny, I felt I knew him and I mourn his passing. Sleep well my cyber friend. Your friend John Tams-Chris Casson.

Don't know if you will see this post BIG RED, but glad your back, we used to have a laugh! if you remember me yours John Tams

Hi all, J t here again Just to update everybody after fettling my older (preferred) P.C with a new (well, new to me!) graphics card and with everything running tickity-boo, I accidently left a book pressing down on the space bar as it was booting up, and guess what? the damm thing then refused to boot up...it said quote, 'please put a boot disc in your preferred boot up device' un-quote and it wouldn't go any further, after an hour or so of buggering about, I had to switch it off because I was gonna put a boot up somewhere it wouldn't prefer!...... Anyway the day after, I was telling my next door neighbour about it and he said I'll have a quick look, go and make a brew (we British, in times of disaster tend to think that a cup of tea will fix anything) when I got back it WAS FIXED!....apparently if you keep pressing F8 as it's booting, it takes you to a screen and you select 'boot from last good point'................ So, I'm sorted again! and my neighbour bless him, wouldn't take any reward, I was so chuffed, I offered him money, beer, cigarettes, an hour with the wife,...but no nothing!.. Now that's a mate! Cheers

I know I don't like win 10 either I prefer 7, I'm looking into changing to 7 but I have been told it may cause problems? I don't know if this pc had win 7 originally or was built with win 10 from the get go.

Hi all I came home from 2 weeks holiday (Morocco) last Wednesday, turned on me pc and after 2 mins the display went all weird, and went to a resolution of 360! after much swearing, wailing and gnashing of teeth, I guessed the graphics card went tits up....so I sent for a new one. In the meantime I bought a second hand pc from a shop, and here are the specs. Windows 10 pro. Intel core i5-357ok cpu @3.40ghz 16gb Kingston hyper beast ram GeForce gtx 980ti zozac graphics card azroc -z770c formula motherboard falcon atx gaming case 2tb h/drive thermal take water cooling corsair gaming mouse gaming keyboard I don't know much about computers so did I do ok? I paid £600 for it. also I managed (with a lot of swearing!) to fit the replacement graphics card to my old pc....and it works! regards a (very stressed out) John tams

Loco I did it 'an it WORKS! (And for a computer klutz like me - that's an ACHIEVEMENT) 'cos normally when I click on something 'an it don't work, I default to the_'WHY won't you WORK!' mode followed by a period of sulking, (No sympathy from the wife AT ALL) many, many thanks bro you saved my life!. Also thanks to RobMc who also responded to help me, I truly am gratefull (And so's the wife incidently) Regards JT

Hi all Is there a way I can log into the ace mod server via the XI website?...just a thought as still can't find/log into via the game. Regards JT

Found the XI ace mod server, but it just keeps timing out when I try to get into the game......HELP!

Hi RobMc Ill give it a go mate, but you are talking to a computer dummy here! many thanks.JT

Ahh well...that's a pisser innit? Can I get into the COD ace mod server via the web site then? or are we using another 'game-tracker' type programme. Regards JT

Hi I normally log into the COD 4 ace mod server using Game tracker lite, but for the past few days I get an error message 'gt lite is unable to connect with servers' any body else getting the same?........or is it just me John Tams >XI<

Well,...I finally turned 65!...and was automatically enrolled into the O.F.A....(Old Fart's Army) funny,..but I don't FEEL like an old fart!...oh well the extra pension money will come in handy I suppose....

Cleavage.........Is something I never get tired of looking into...(thankfully)

I'm off to PC World...been looking for a bigger monitor.

Hi all Sorry Rugger, for not logging into the website, but I have a couple of issues which are taking all my attention at the moment. Basically my wife is unwell and will need all my support for the next few weeks/months. I honestly didn't realise I had not visited the website for so long. I will log in as often as I can in future. Regards JT/Chris.

Merry Christmas to everybody!!!.

Hi Johnny The firm I work for produces cardboard cartons for the food industry, (we make the outer box that the boxes we take home come in). In fact this factory was set up to produce cartons for mainly two customers namely Kellogg's and Heinz. The Kellogg's order was for years our no1 core business, I have worked in this factory for over 40 years..and we were producing cartons for them when I started in 1973. Last year we lost half of the Kellogg's, order approx. 35% of our total factory output. I wonder if that's gone to China as well??. Makes you think............. Regards Chris/JT

I mighta done this somewhere before in another thread, but heho. I picked JOHN TAMS who is an actor/folk artist from my part of Lancashire. As an actor he played Dan the marksman ex poacher who never missed,in the TV series "Sharpe" with Sean Bean, an action drama set during the Napoleonic Wars of the early 1800's. Good Series.

My Grandfather served in the British army during the First World War, He was gassed, but survived the Somme massacre. After he came out of the army, He went to work down the mines and ended up getting crippled in an accident, which left him unable to work for the rest of his life. During the great influenza epidemic of the 1930s his wife (my Grandmother) died (age 34) leaving him with 8 kids to bring up, on a pit pension of £1-7s-11d in old money (£1-40p / or approx. $3 dollars todays money) a week. When WW2 broke out his eldest son my uncle William was one of the soldiers in the B.E.F who were eventually rescued from the Dunkirk beaches. After a spot of survivors leave he went back to war and fought in the western desert with the 8th army (desert rats) with General Montgomery. He was Killed in 1942. His name is on the El Alamein memorial as he has no known grave. My uncle was one of those who.... "Gave their tomorrows so we could have our todays" R.I.P uncle Bill.

Loved the vid Johnny, And there are people who still INSIST that WE are ALONE in this universe. Just one question....... ....How did you get all them Stars and Planets to line up in order of size for you? ...Just askin' lol ! Greets John Tams/Chris.

As an animal lover/owner (Chocolate lunatic Labrador) I say well done mate!

I seem to recall a few years ago, a certain town council making someone remove a Union Flag from the front of his house (NOT a Union Jack, you will note, as a Union Flag is only called a Union Jack when it is being flown from the Jackstay of a ship). Apparently the councillor's told him -- quote, "It may offend the immigrant element of the local population" unquote. --You know what I reckon?---FUCK 'EM--- Period.

Welcome!
