the winners were a dance group...hardly something you can market a music CD on. & look what happened with that George kid from the previous BGT - also a dance act....but managed to come up with an album with him rapping/singing/whatever, complete with music video. :confused:

haha...awesome!!! :D it's SO bordering on hentai...especially how you switch the Chobits on. :wink3: i'm currently reading The Long Way Down by Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman. more of a travelogue than serious fiction writing. but i thought their 1st book/adventure was pretty interesting to read. else i'm waiting for Terry Pratchett's Unseen Academicals to be out in paperback (i.e. cheaper & more portable) form. :D

*sigh* have to agree with you there, Anna! :bigcry: i don't really have any other SP gigs to compare with, but i'd say that the songs played on this tour, particularly the reworkings of the old/familiar songs are just something else heard live & loud... :wacky:

oops! didn't realise they were that inefficient (then again....Malaysian forum lah...it's not run by Singaporeans :P) i signed up aaaaaages ago so i can't really remember if i had to go thru some confirmation thing. i'm usually in either the gamers section or sometimes in the music/guitar section. ;) *drools at Maggi Mi* i only have 1 precious pack of 5 with me here...my precioussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

that's an example of what happens when techies geek out on the non-techies... :P but that's good that you're more/less up & running now...aside from getting your sis to test the wireless. :D you should be good if the Wireless LED is already lighting up normally...i don't think you need to worry about the WAN not lighting up seeing as you didn't plug anything in anyway.

haha....not really. it'd be better if i actually could remember more clearly how to do the stuff i was trying to tell you to do. have a look around the Lowyat.net forums anyway. since it's a local forum you might just find the answer or detailed steps to your problem more easily there. ;)

Up To Now limited edition box set @ 100 quid!!! rip off!!! :inquisitive: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SNOW-PATROL-UP-TO-NOW-SEALED-NOD-BOX-SET-CD-DVD-LP_W0QQitemZ130345681606QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CDsDVDs_CDs_CDs_GL?hash=item1e593542c6 haha...yeah, seems that way! she's found my Bristol pix too...tho i kinda knew that since someone in SP.com mentioned wanting to post Bristol pix on the site. i'm following updates on their little project so i was checking on the site... ;) & great to see Nathan really letting loose in that video!!! :lol:

& so you shall! since Button's now Hamilton's teammate...wonder if they'll at least get along better than when Alonso was around to bicker with the Hamster. :P

*lol* rudy!!! i think we've spammed Twitter with modem/router talk these past 2 days! :laugh2:

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.... :D

since it wasn't working when it was on the Dynamic IP (DHCP) option, i'd suggest to give it a try on PPPoE this time.

*lol* wonder how his "missus" feels about all that loving he gets from Serge... :P

same... :cool: rather blue-ish pix, but here's some screencaps i took from the Up To Now DVD...if only for the bromance-y moment. ...cos i'm trying to get my mind off my binary tree assignment right now...it's giving me a frigging headache. :P & Anna, i do believe that that's your name that's been mentioned on TheThirdBar.com!!! :D

in other words, they missed out playing anything from Joshua Tree...tsk. :inquisitive:

& i think DHCP should be enabled on the D-Link router only (i.e. disabled on the Billion modem). the router should also be the one handling the PPPoE stuff for going online on Streamyx.

agreed. netbooks are also great if you like to bring a laptop out with you to surf the Internet at school, cafes, buses, etc. your shoulders will thank you for giving up that 13" Macbook for a lighter load. mine did. ;)

i think i heard someone doing an MJ-ish yelp there? :laugh3: haha...someone yelled very loudly "It's Bristol!" when Gary mentioned Brighton at Colston Hall. he told the person to "chill your ham" (or something weird like that...it's apparently an Irish saying) after saying that he did know they're in Bristol...he was just trying to say something about the Brighton gig. now that's embarassing! :P

yay for you!!! :D & yeah, loadsa goodies in there...btw what picture's your lithograph print? i'm curious if there is indeed more than 1 picture given out. heh...turkeys, eh? well, Happy Slapsgiving....ermmm...i mean, Thanksgiving to you over there!!! :D

Tom, Tom...always shooting his mouth off: "Coldplay are probably good blokes, it's just that they're, well, fannies" :P ...tho that frilly shirt of his in the 2nd pic isn't making him look all macho anyway. :lol:

yeah, that's the one i saw. :) look forward to your own vids! & at least you got to meet the others...even if it took 3hrs in all (i know i wouldn't last that long)! hope it was nowhere as cold for you in London as it was in Bristol for me then. :\

my fave is U2 performing I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For with Bruce 'The Boss' Springsteen at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! :D (despite how dodgy looking Bono's hair was looking then :P) [ame= ] [/ame] i loved No Line On The Horizon on first listen...especially the title track. but i didn't really get into How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb...still haven't really. so i guess i'm the other way round of you...hah

yummmmm......hungry.............. i'm trying to make my own teriyaki tuna tonite...the marinade tastes nice...just hope i don't screw up the cooking part. :P i'm not a fan either. but i tend to listen to all sorts of music. so i've got some of his songs that i actually like...'An Jing' is one, the others are 1 song from the Initial D movie & one called 'Common Jasmine Orange' (no idea what the Mandarin title is...found an English title for it & stuck to it).

you're tempting me there.... :escaping:

hmmm...i may be wrong on this...but i think your DHCP Server shouldn't be the same as your Default Gateway if everything was set up fine. btw, it's just a hunce of mine that it might be the modem's just not set to the right mode cos i had a similar problem in Singapore when i connected a router to my existing ADSL modem. anyway, in order to change the modem to bridge mode, you need to be connected directly to the modem 1st & access the modem setup page, which you can access by just typing "192.168.0.1" (or something similar...it should be mentioned with your modem documentations in any case) into your browser's address bar, if you've never done it before. these settings pages tend to differ between modems/companies, so i can't really guide you. but if you can click around on it, you should find 1 particular section/link/page that will let you change the mode (i think the choice is between "modem" or "bridge" modes). hope this works for you...or maybe winnie might have a better solution for you.

fair enough. but if you see most of the interviews for/about Up To Now lately, the guys generally emphasise that it isn't meant to be a "Best Of" compilation...especially when the stuff from their early years don't quite qualify as hits in the first place & neither are the Reindeer Section stuff, tbh. so it's not really a run off the mill thing... & i think right now the only other band that can do something like what SP have done is Elbow (then again, it seems like they are already doing something like that). it's a bit harder for Coldplay to do a similar type of "looking back at our career" thing when their debut album already was their breakthrough hit album. thank you again for the fingers crossing, Jen!!! :D i'll return the favour one day for you too, for sure. ;) & i know i've already said it, but i really love the new versions of those 2 songs too! that chant-y bit for Chasing Cars...*sigh* :wacky: saw your video of One Day Like This...brilliant stuff! :D & yay for you & Anna!!! your effort paid off!!! :dance: was there a lot of people waiting also, like you were expecting? a shame that you didn't get to meet Gary tho....guess it looks like we each missed out on 1 of the SP guys...he didn't come out at all?
