Fantastic mate.

Thanks for that. Can't do any harm.

Currently stealing, like.

[JPaul]

Feedback on whether it be any good would be appreciated.

This is like a hybrid bastard son of hard-on world and soft-gay world

Watch this space, like. Will let you know.

Nah, looks like the old drive is comprehensively knackered to the max.

XP makes that ding dong sound when I put the USB in and the drive tries to power up but then it just dies again so XP doesn't recognise it as another drive.

Which means I can't install Spinrite onto the drive so it can do it's thang, like. Well and truly banjaxed. Time to give up, I think.

Cheers anyway for the effort. I'll just have to re-steal all my orsum stuffs, I suppose.

That hard drive in the freezer trick is officially a pile of wank. Don't do it, kids.

[JPaul]

Sorry to hear that mate.

[chalice]

That's the way the crumble cookies mate.

Hey ho.

[JPaul]

How very philosophical of you.

Wopped at all.

[chalice]

Completely sober for a change. True story.

Am gonna get stuck into a big plate of Speg Bog wot I prepared earlier.

Good livin' kinda guy, that's me.
