Good morning all
Another hot one today. I have all the windows and doors open to try and cool the house down, but there doesn't seem to be any cool breeze today.

Hi Bagel
hope all is well with you.

Hi Emptybox... I was fast asleep when you posted last night. Glad you managed to get plenty done in the nice weather yesterday. I used to quite like BBLB when Dermot did it, but thought it was awful last year. Will watch the launch on Thursday though.

Hicky... hope you enjoy your day off. Did you have a lie in? What are you up to today?

Not very warm and sunny here, I wouldn't say it's cold though, more refreshing.
Terminator 4 later.

Im feeling Rubbish here ...

I hope everyone else is ok ..

Good Morning Suzie, Bagel, Mollie, Kev & Mike.

Got my Remote TV set up now Mollie, I have the TV at the side of the monitor, my new Sky HD remote control works as well so I can watch my recordings without going down to the Sky system down stairs.

The Transmitter & Receiver was delivered at 11.30 and it's all up and running ready for BB10 launch.

What's up Mike?

A report from BB's last winner Rachel.
She is a supply teacher and so couldn't really go down the glamour modeling route.
Read Rachels Story Here (Click)
She's looking good anyway.

Good afteroon all

Hicky.. glad you are all set up for BB, now all we have to hope for is that we have some decent interesting HM's, and plenty of tasks. I'd like to see some enthusiastic ones willing to show enthusiasm in tasks, instead of the usual laziness we get. But of course we do need decent tasks too. Hope we get them. Enjoy the rest of your day off.

KingKev..
enjoy your Terminator 4.

Hicky.. thanks for the Rachel pic, I agree, she is looking very nice. And I think she is looking a lot more classy in those pics, than many of the other exHM's pics I have seen before now. Good for her, for refusing to strip off, because of her career. A sensible girl.

Aaaww Mike... sorry to hear that, hope you feel better soon.

Evening Peeps

Still going strong

Hope everyone is having a good day

Aaawwwww Mike Stay with us and you'll soon feel loads better You just need some TLC and a laugh

I'm back from watching Terminator: Salvation. It's a great terminator film, fantastic chase scene in it. Don't think they'll ever top the 2nd one though, I watched that aswell this morning. Sad geek aint I.
You have to watch this film at the pics though cos of the special effect, there's some massive machines. I almost expected Chris Barrie to pop out.

Hiya Kev

Glad it was a good film

How was the rest of the day for you

Hello.
All I've done Suzie since waking up is read for an hour, watch Terminator 2 (it's 2 and a half hours long), then go and watch Terminator 4.
Oh and I watched The Wright Stuff this morning.
How's your day been?
Getting any cravings yet or feeling any tension?
I hope not, some people find it really easy, maybe you are one of them. Don't let us down girl.
We'll still love you no matter what though.

Ooooo what are you reading That's alot of telly watching you'll end up with square eyes
My day was okay, It was absolutely sweltering at work so that was not good.
No cravings for ciggies but am having probs in knowing how to channel emotion. Will get there in the end Probably with a punch bag and a pair of boxing gloves

I know what you mean by the emotion thing, I have an active job so that quelled some of my, dare I say, RAGE. lol. Still got angry easy though, maybe cos I had a reason to be though sometimes, I never let my anger out on other people, fortunately...for them.

Suzie I forgot to tell you what I was reading.
It's this by Terry Brooks.
It's a very big book too, I bet I could kill someone with it.

Hiya Kev

I guess I just need to train my emotions into a different channel. It was probably not good jamming it all in a bottle anyway Could sometimes literally be explosive
Will soon bet things sorted

That book looks good will have to look it up on amazon

Hicky
Theres so much wrong with me , the best thing I can say about myself is that If I was a dog they would of put me down by now ...lol
Hey ho ....thats life ...lol

Kev
Going to Pictures in a bit to see Terminator looking foward to it ...
Im a sad geek so should love it ..lol

Mollie
thanks

Suzie
Really Pleased you still being a good girl with the No Smoking ....Well Done

Suzie you should start with the first and considered the best in the series...The Sword of Shannara
It's fantastic.

I used to be on C4 forum but rarely went into OT probably one of my mistakes
Will look forward to your code pictures

Evening . Did some Revision earlier for my exam next week, but glad it's been hot and cool again today here . Looking forward to watching the Apprentice semi final tonight, just waiting for my food too .

Here's one of the betting code sheets I did.
You can see who was Fave and who wasn't.
It was taken from one of the betting sites that do the BB each year.
You can do them yourself if you use 'Notepad', with the Font set to 'Courier' which is a standard width fixed Font.
The text have to be preceded by the word [code ] with [/code ] at the end, then it's just pasted into the post.

Hiya Darloboy

Is there alot to revise for the next exam ?
Work for me was stifling, I thought I was going to melt at one point
Hope your apprentice watching goes well and enjoy your meal

Hicky that betting sheet is really good. Just goes to show what a bit of easy programming can achieve

Soon as I got back home from College earlier, it was straight to revision before I even thought of coming on here . It's been busy here again, it always is because theres loads of us . Glad you had a good day .

Good evening all

Suzy..glad to hear you have still not succummed to the smoking. It can't be easy for you, but good luck with it all.
It has been sweltering too here today, will be glad for a bit of a cooldown that they are forecasting soonn.

Hicky...how lovely it is to see all your BB artwork stuff again. Glad to see it is all in good working order over here too. and I look forward to seeing it on the next BB.

Suzy... yes it is a shame you never made it to Off Topic, with us. But I am glad we found you over here, and I hope you stay around here posting with us.

Kingkev... glad to hear you have enjoyed your film viewings today.

Mike... enjoy your film tonight. Wonder if you get tempted by those hot dogs?

Darloboy...Good luck with the revising. I too am really looking forward to the Apprentice. I am watching the extra show about it now.
I heard Philip on This Morning saying he is still with Kate now.

Hi Mollie.
Hi darloboy.
I'm watching Springwatch.

Thanks

Hiya Mollie

I'm still doing well and not had any cravings yet. Will need to know what to do with stress and overflowing emotions though as I used to head straight for the ciggies to clamp it down. Haven't found any tai chi lessons yet maybe I should get a DVD and do it at home

I never thought about going into OT at the time but hey I'm in the lounge now and really settling in well I think

I'll try and do the artwork again this year.

Am watching the Apprentice Final five at the Mo, it's handy having it at the side of the Monitor.

The only problem so far is that when I change the channel on my Sky+ from the Puter room, it changes the Sky+ system the O/H is using in the Front room.

The Video side seems to be ok as I set up different channels for that, but I think the remote control radio signals are getting mixed.
I've just turned the Transmitter box that the O/H uses off for now.
