Ta for the link. The Q website is shockingly out of date. I was getting 'win Patrick Wolf tickets for August' links!

Incidently, a thread over 10 pages long after a 12 hour shift is more than anyone should have to traul through for a link.

FD has always had a problem with people not referring to links properly, I don't know why.

it's more "the internet" has the problem, mate. part of life in the world of "i want it now, instantly", really. remember when we had to actually wait for a release date and further had to pay money to hear an album?

Those were the days! Hate all this electronic releasing of stuff now. Gives you the music instantly but lacks the excitement of waiting to get home to listen to something.

i could not agree more if i tried. it really is sad that people these days look forward to the date of the leak rather than the date you and your mates can hit the store and get it. oh well, different times - kids these days downloading mp3s is just their version of what we used to do, i.e. taping the Top 10 off the radio on a Sunday afternoon.

no! had no idea they were on there! quite good fun.

unfortunately James also found a game called "enter security code for screen lock" which looked tempting and so he played it. and couldn't remember the numbers.

reformatting it and putting most of the stuff back on only took a day or so
