it also depends on what route the lines take from the exchange to your house, plus noise on the line, etc.

You may think that sounds stupid - but from what I've seen this year, it wont be long before people start putting their Christmas lights up in April.

Was Bruce Springsteen not just a rumour? I'm sure Emily Eavis said on the radio he wouldn't be appearing... sadly!

But exactly how often does the boat not get into Aberdeen harbour due to the weather? Not often. The odd day here and there v the hassle of having to arrive in Peterhead? I'd go with Aberdeen.

Copenhagen & Stockholm, Tallinn & Helsinki an Reykjavik - Three trips I'd love to do. Probably the most expensive ones too (in regards to living costs while there).

Or the Orca Hotel as it is now known... My home will always be Sandwick Social Club. I've yet to find a pub in Aberdeen where you could just walk in, stick on a Father Ted DVD without asking and no one even batters an eye lid.

There is the South Shetland Islands near the Falklands isn't there? I quite fancy visiting.

What's more shocking is that it took £123,000 to make that. I'm not even an artist (in fact I cant draw full stop) and even I could make something as good.

Haha. I'll have to try that one sometime.

Paul makes the show! Although saying that, there tends to be a really good Karl moment every couple of weeks. The letter stealing incident being the greatest of the past few weeks.

Who else watched this amazing bit of telly that makes the licence fee seem so worth while?!

Its really cold down here in Aberdeen. There was almost a point today when it was snowing.

Im guessing they are going to up peoples bandwidth limits when all this IPTV stuff comes out?

Clocks was by far their most annoying song. I'm not a massive Coldplay fan, but they have done some nice songs. The Scientist is a really nice song.

Always get a really nice 8mb in Sandwick.

I got a K800i yesterday and so far am very impressed with it. It's a little bit bigger than my old phone, but the camera on it seems excellent and the music features seem rather good. I have also got a months free tv trial on it, so I can watch CNN and SKY news, not that I actually see any reason for it, but its a novelty feature.

3 days to move money between banks, and yes while this may be the case, it happens with every bank so you just have to work around it... I have 3 different accounts (at one time over 2 different banks), several direct debits, an overdraft etc etc and I've never once been charged by the bank as I always keep an eye on how much money I have in each account and when the direct debits are coming off. Why are you still with the RBS Ally if your having that many problems?

Surely banks have to make money too? They are just a business afterall.

If you wanna listen to music put a CD or SIBC on. As for Moyles, it's nice to hear someone that will speak their mind about the amount of rubbish music thats out at the moment rather than suck up to it like all other presenters.

I actually like some of her songs, but her attitude is either going to make or break her. She was on the Chris Moyles show the other day and that didn't go too well either. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/chrismoyles/2006/09/moyles_v_allen.html

Ah good lord. I stand corrected. When did they sneak that in then? Paint.NET is still worth a look though if you want to do more than the basic bits and bobs that Paint lets you do. Not sure - very rarely have to use paint, but i'm sure that feature has been there for a couple of years.

my version of paint can save as jpeg, or gif, or tiff, or various other bmp's. and its def the version of paint that came with windows!

If it werent for religion, the world would be a much happier place. I watched a bit of that programme, lots of contrived bits - and who would ever belief Kofi Annan would be the anti-christ!

Quite impressive. It's something I'd like to do, but I'd lose interest after a week!

Time Trumpet is excellent. Just been searching You Tube for some videos of it... Tesco declare war on Denmark: The Polish Soap Opera: http://youtube.com/watch?v=0Gx6bCREhz4 Huw Edwards Hyrdolic Desk: http://youtube.com/watch?v=fQGG6KqMOvw All quality.
