Well the wages are certainly appealing, where do I sign? <g>

Oh no...SIMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can you DO this to me? <g>

A sad day for Top Gear. Get well soon Richard!

PS: As I have been likened to Mr. Hammond on many occasions by other UKCT members, I would like to apply for the position of temporary Hamster replacement!

AFAIK formatting your OS partition will mean you DO need to unlock LFS again, despite the fact that LFS isn't actually residing on it. I THINK it checks the time that Windows was installed, and if it doesn't match, it will require another unlock. Every time I have formatted Windows LFS has needed unlocking again.

Considering I can run BF2 on a GeForce 6200 (very much a budget card) at medium detail a Radeon x1300 shouldn't have any problems with it at all.

Back onto topic: I had LFS running on 192MB RAM at one point, was slow as hell though. I reckon that was more to do with the CPU than anything else though, was on an Athlon 1300MHz

There were a couple of 747's that came over, I think there was one on each day. To see 747's going into such a small airport was a bit of a shock...I thought the place couldn't deal with them, but it ends up it can (well I didn't see any fireball)

I didn't see any Scawen lookalikes there...there might have been one, but not where I was on either day. Not that I was looking, I was too fixated with the racing

Oh, I forgot to mention the fact I was very disappointed by the two "simulation" stands. To see such a nice rig as the Michelin one get wasted running F1 2002 is a shock. And the food prices too! £1.50 for a 500ml bottle of coke! Should have taken a supply with me

1. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit

First racing game I ever got my hands on. I remember many a race in the Schigera...damn that car rocked! Was on a keyboard at the time though, being 9 I couldn't really afford a wheel or gamepad ;-)

2. Gran Turismo 2

First PS1 driving game I had played. I remember loading up Virtual GameStation JUST to play this thing...ran like a bag of sh*te too...but it was all good...really enjoyed driving the GT40 on GT2...was a blast!

3. Screamer Rally

This was fun too...a lot of stages to play on, it was a mighty shame that I couldn't get my Voodoo Banshee working with it but It still ran ok. Plenty of stages made it a keeper with me too

A thouroughly enjoyable weekend that! On the Saturday I was sat near Starkey's bridge, up on the hill, and on the Sunday I was right at the front next to Foggy's. Some fantastic action to be had on both days, saw a lot of people go off at the Old Hairpin, especially the Meganes and the Formula Renault cars. I think the spot that I was at on Sunday was better though, saw a lot of overtaking, especially in the Clio Cup race. That battle was fantastic!

The F1 car was brilliant, but I wish that a couple of things would have happened. First, I wish the bloody commentator wouldn't have said "Johnathon Cochet!" about 10,000 times, and I also wish the car was completely floored, which I have the feeling it wasn't.

PS: Did anyone else get into an argument about whether the Formula Renault cars look like FOX's? I did with SamH, and came to the conclusion that they're remarkably similar, but not exactly alike. The World Series cars are definitely F08's though, pretty much the same power, but they only have 6 cylinders.

I wouldn't say shite, more inexperienced. Give it time, you'll get better

Well I can't comment at that, my connection is too rubbish to listen at the moment, but I'm sure Murray's mother won't do that

Oh well...since I can't listen...*shoves music back on* *gets on with packing bedroom up ready for move*

Yeah it has done here too

Oh wait, it's buffering again, let's see...

[EDIT]Wait, who put it up to 64kbps? I can't listen now :'([/EDIT]

Calm down young one, there's no need to get so annoyed at your connection, trust me, mine's worse <g>

[EDIT]You could try LFS Spectator, It tolerates bad connections more than LFS itself[/EDIT]

I think that the commentary is a little...rusty <g>
Anyone got Murray Walker's number? Could do with a bit of experience, show the new one how to commentate

ROFL! "They're a bit too far away, for the names above the cars to work, which sucks"
I think the commentator needs to learn the art of the tab key

My condolences go to his family. May he rest in peace

Re-extracting LFS did the trick, but I still don't know what caused the original problem...d'oh!

Hehehe, nice one Kev! The thoughts of a nation encapsulated into one avatar...

Apologies, I'm talking rubbish...Schumacher = cheating b******d, Avatar = to the point, nice work

Strangely that doesn't solve the problem at all...same thing, gets to lighting info then dies completely

[EDIT] I'll just completely re-extract LFS and unlock again in...about 15 minutes time, when I get another unlock [/EDIT]

Demonstrated the will to edit a post so as not to pee people off :-D

[EDIT]You're free to join Becky, but there are a few team members that wreck without knowing it, you just need to watch out for them ;-)[/EDIT]

I reckon it is a file issue, as it happens in all lighting conditions, and yet it is very much restricted to Fern Bay. I will wait till tomorrow to reinstall LFS, as I am completely out of unlocks. If it works I'll post back
Thanks

Not when it takes over an hour to give up trying to get flippin FERN BAY working!

Anyway, back onto the topic of the thread ;-)
My day so far :P
Got up
