  1. Tonights offering is the second of two programmes screened on the 15th September (Battle of Britain Day - as if you weren't aware). Entitled 'Aftermath', two historians and AVM Greg Bagwell discuss various aspects of the battle from personal and professional viewpoints. Screened by the BBC as part of the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, and posted here for the benefit of those without access to iPlayer. Jabo P.S. Four down, five to go! (Plus one which isn't about the Battle of Britain, but about the Dambusters, so it's sort of relevant.) Still to come The Real Story - Tells the story of the battle from the Luftwaffe point of view The South Coast Trail - A journey along the South Coast looking for evidence of the batttle still visible today Spitfire Women - Looks at the work of the female pilots delivering unarmed aircraft to fighter bases during the battle The Battle of Britain - Ewan and Colin MacGregor examine the history of the battle. Battle of Britain Sunday - The remembrance service from Westminster Abbey including the flypast. Dambusters Declassified - Actor Martin Shaw goes in search of the real story of the Dams raids.
  2. Sorry to hear about your problem Jim, but I'm glad you're on the mend. Catch up with you soon ~S~ Jabo

  4. Doesn't look to good to me Snacko m8, but I know a lot of the laptops we sell are going that way. not tried an eSATA connection with any of them yet, but I'll have a check at work tomorrow and report back
  5. Well, I've had a very unproductive conversation with the management at the Red Lion this afternoon. Despite our reputation (lol) they are charging the full £140 rate for Legends weekend (this is in the Holiday Inn). They won't know if rooms will be available in the old buildings until next year and in any case they will be similar to the costs for the Holiday Inn. This is daylight robbery - it was cheaper to stay in London this year for chrissakes. Screw 'em, I'm off to buy a tent, unless JPs excellent suggestion bears fruit(bat). Jabo
  6. I too am bedless, not paying what TRL are demanding - pity. Anyhoo, I'll be there Friday and Saturday Jabo

    ouch, that sounds bad. Have you tried disconnecting everything apart from the power to see you can get the board to post? It won't obviously, but you should hear an error beep code. Have you got another rig you can check the processor in? It's a long shot but I'd want to have that checked before bouncing the mobo back to the supplier. Hope you get it sorted soon m8. Jabo
