That is the link in the first post; just click on it.

Why what's the problem?

By doing it this way it's quicker & saves page space on the forum, but if there is a good reason for copying & pasting, I will do.

Please advise.

My PC is steam powered and it takes a little while to open the link, obviously if you and other members wish to send a kind and generous donation to improve my IT learning, then go ahead.

But the forum is free and the guy who runs it has more money than me and you in our poor deregulated areas could dream of, so if he needs to increase his bandwidth (ohh missus) I am certain he has the finances to cope :D

That aside, clicking the link is IMO a pain in the arse...but I might be alone in this and whatever you do...dont be offended by MY laziness...coz in general even when we disagree I enjoy your posts.

I don't think it's your computer, because mine is 17 years old & it's pretty quick.

But then we in Brum are blessed with Virgin Media fibre optic Broadband & it makes a world of difference. It's absolutely brilliant & whenever we have visitors from far & wide who ocassionally ask to check their emails, they invariably comment how fast it is.

And we only have the 4MG option.

Those scousers are nice people...they do a damned good line in chimpanzees (and seaside towns)....no wonder the missus loved it.....and if you want a pet...you can have ASBO 1 or 2 :wink:

Does NVQ really stand for Not Very Quick ?

Judging by the initiation tests I took for the NVQ (basic maths & English comprehension) that is 100% right.

There were loads in the classroom who just could not understand the questions & others that could not read.

It was appalling.

Mind you they would have been good at digging holes & filling them back up again.

Innit moit!

Errm being a mere baby with 20 years PH and HC I dont really appreciate the thought of some tw*t telling me how to drive a cab....especially when the person (was gonna type t*at again) aint driven a cab in his life.

Good use of * eh?
