Roco

Well Bro. it was all looking good till Shugs threw a strop , For 2 pins I am of a good mind to come over and give him a good slap , just 2 things against doing that #1 , he probably would enjoy it , ( I don't think he sees a lot of action poor boy ) #2 the Brit saying "for 2 pins" would start another WHAA ? posting spree oh and a third reason #3 he's much bigger than me ,

Re: Anyone else feel sometimes that people feel we are to obsessed with are speeds ................... Hell no , just food apparently , by the look of the posts , Who has the fastest connection to McDonald's , the famous Scottish restaurant ?

Hi Tommie thanks for the info in post #12 I think your Thanksgiving day , is more in line with our August bank holiday , know as "thank goodness they have gone day" maybe we can now get a bit of peace and quiet , Holidays in UK , we get the lowest amount in the world, My Gov.says any more and we would loose our competitive edge , IMHO that went blunt about 100 years ago when we banned children under 10y being used as chimney sweep brushes, the UK has just fallen out with the European Union , as we refused to give more holidays and put a limit on the total working hours in a week , as (Gov.quote) I it would reduce or competitive edge etc , 300miles and 2 months , how long did it take before the Revenue cutter arrived , ? Happy Thanksgiving day to the Turkeys also ,

I aint no fool Ryan thats alpha. listed, I like to keep my options open

Hi just ,the distance was no problem , as long as you were paying ,

Feb 07 is my guess , maybe the memory stick thingy isn't going to swing it , maybe a date with Tdawnaz,Water might just do it , sorry Girls but sacrafices must be made Regards cable ............er , Roco UK

It's OK for you youngsters Ryan , but me arthur rightus sets in , and I get chilled to the bone , Christmas !,Bah Humbug P.s. yeah, I love Christmas , it's special , a time to reflect on the year gone , new friends made ,and a time for old friendships renewed ,

Oh I like small children , perferable roasted hey lighten up this UK member , Thanks giving ? is that like the UK harvest festival ? long gone by , Walter, Turkey tastes like chicken !, girl give up that frozen stuff You eat midgets in the states Oh lol this is a bad trip, ENJOY Roco UK

At the cost of a double post , as there are no takers , and trying to get near back on Topic, living in solitude for 6 months , that I could handle that , but only if food was supplied , Water I could find , I guess I am a wimp, I eat meat , but I could not Kill and cook a living creature , unless maybe it was trying to kill me , not much chance of that in the UK, so maybe I would last 3 weeks before I dinned on poison ivy , hunting is a skill I have lost ,but my ancestors had , could I re-learn it before I staved ?, at what point did I finally change my outlook as a ex city boy into small comunity ways, I guess it was the time I went to the pub (5 regulars ) the topic of discusion was farmer Jenkinks wife had run off with the baker from town , the general view was he had a good farm, SWTF,the merriment went on, on my next visit the regulars had solemn faces , the local Shepard 's dog had been killed in a accident , yeah, he was going to be hard to replace, thats reality IMHO, P.s. Stank_ ho ,you really planning skinning Shugs to make a canoe , maybe TMN could rent it for our deluxe cruise ship, it should seat at least 50

Thanks Ryan, but between you and me , I dread Christmas , my busy time of the year , and what with the Elves forming a union and constantly bitching about a shorter working week, + the cost of feed for the reindeer going up and up , also the vets. bill for treating Rudolf's nose again , I guess I will be glad when it's spring

Hi Tommie me best friend , Bro, relative from way back , mate ,Pal ,Sir, me old mucker have you collected that $5.5 Mil. yet ? NO ,....................... ...........Duh , sorry what was your name again ,

Thanks again Paladin , checked it out on several forums and it seems OK, not that I doubt your sugestion , I am very cautious on any prog I run , , I first time run new programs on my spare computer Yeah, I wear a belt and braces regards Roco UK

only for the first 2 weeks, then you would get tired chasing rabbits for dinner , and then the would start , WE need a better cave, cant YOU make some shelves and tidy this place up before MY mother visits , from then on it's a small step onto the evolutionary chaingang , interesting link about people that choose to live in isolation , http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/03/0310_030310_invisible1.html

thanks paladin , some nice wallpaper on there, not sure about the themes with music though , just not my cup of tea, but some good senic pics.

I will have to come back on this one ( 1 am and I have to go to work today, (another 4 letter word ) but at the time I choose , (there is the strength coming out ) , did my time out , change me , yeah , I do now like some solitude, and friends know when to give me that , well they don't have much choice , they know I will walk otherwise , same for my boss , I don't like large crowds much anymore , and maybe I spend to much time wondering why people are in such a hurry to go nowhere, and I guess I am a saleman's nightmare Good night from Roco UK, P.S. America is a big place ,( lol look at Britain on the map) , some of our members must live in some isolated places , it would be good to get their views !

Yeah great topic , and already opposing views , I guess a lot would depend on your location and life style, For me having lived some years in a small (lol I mean small comunity)with no TV or newspapers , never had any health problems , now as a city dweller (still no TV LOL ) you try getting to sleep , stay calm in the rush hour etc I look around and see Hypertension behind the wheel of every car , and No drama queens on your trip shugs , they lighten ever day for me , without the stimulus of modern life you kind of learn to think laterally , something people have lost the art of today , imho Hi Water I wasn't born into the wildness and it did take a lot of adjusting for me at the time , around 3 years , so I guess 6 months would be too short a time to fully adjust, Yeah I got homesick for a while , would I go back , I guess not , but glad I did it at the time , kinda made a man out of a boy , I hope !

Personally I think you would realize the wood was the reality , the reality you returned to is only perceived and clouded by comforming to the social system , providing you can re-adapt on your return , you will have gained a inner strength and tranquility , that can be and often is mistaken as a aloofness , and it makes you realize how crazy modern society and it's values are , and one thing, nobody will be able to manipulate you again , there is much written records of people undergoing this situation , by choice or accident , most seem to come out of it stronger , I guess it would be the true test of the survival of the most adaptable , the city dweller would probably not survive , but say a Aborigine, just part of his way of life , just my random thoughts Roco

scam ?, Kill your mother and molest the dog, what you do in your families in the states is another mater , but spare the dog please , BTW I think kicking ass is cruel also , over here in the UK we love our asses , yeah I guess you could get the gift but at what price, apart from a dead Mom and a dog that walks funny, <---Shugs dog

apart from the dress code (orange boilersuit with matching blindfold )

Nice one Ryan , it wouldn't except any of my fake email addresses , lol, I was using fake USA ones,

Wow, try navigating there site, and read the terms and conditions , about 100 pages long , mostly giving reasons why you did not qualify ,it appears you have to sign up at their sponsors links , and use your credit card for transactions ,collect enough and you may get the same chance as a snowball in the Sahara desert of getting the FREE GIFT, IMHO parent company http://www.cymediagroup.com/, looks ligit ,

My finger is poised on the button , Mem40KUK , has a nice ring to it and this impoverished Brit needs the all expenses paid trip to camp TMN, Oh, it's a thumb drive , well as above , just forget the camp bit , seroiusly 40 k members , wow , maybe, we just have something good going on here , Rergards to all Roco UK

agreed Dlewis 23 but for a newbie maybe a non invasive prog maybe the easiest way to go, most people I know don't know what msconfig and services does. or have even heard of it , for me I can just master playing with the reg. most family puter users just think computers are clever TV, maybe they are right in thinking that way, is it all too complex for the average user ? I can remember when cars had to be serviced every 3000 miles that would be laughed at today ,for me ,totally self taught , no schooling or help apart from TMN and other Tech forums, it has been a long road , but one I am glad I have taken, Regards Roco UK

Hi Shugs the clean install s spot on, BUT their puter came with no disk (PC world ) the puter is a wreck , ( bloody better spec than mine ) I try and give support by email or phone , mostly by phone for free ) if I was charging by the hour I would be retired in the Bahamas by now , , I am trying to get my Gov. to declare it a disaster zone yeah it sounds good to me , I will try it on mine first , as the pressure of 2 teenagers who know nothing both talking to me at once , while I try to sort out the mess, makes concentration a little difficult , yeah, at times I am tempted
