Congratulations on getting the writing gig for Mr McIntyre, DM! :)

How much does it pay?

Wee (skipping with my arms flailing up and down) Wee and so on.

I download to hard drive then backup to data DVDs. Having had a hdd recently die (clicking) I wouldn't want to lose all my files (again). As it is I've only lost a minimal amount of stuff.

Aye. Painful. A few years ago I plugged my laptop power supply into an external HDD by mistake, and fried it. Amongst some miscellaneous (and thankfully not really needed) crap, I lost about 60 gigs of music.

Luckily I had, for reasons I don't actually remember, backed it all up to DVDs a few months before. So I copied them over to a new HDD and had only lost the handful of tracks I'd downloaded in the few months between.

Now, I download everything to my normal 'working' HDDs. It then gets burnt to DVD, logged, and the DVDs stored away in nice, neat, numbered cases. Once on DVD, I copy it across to one of my archive hard drives - currently into the third TB. Easy, and very safe.

When you use telephone banking and and the recorded voice asks "please enter your date of birth in 6 digits using the phone keypad" ......................"For example if you were born on the 5th of August 1978 you would enter 050878 so please enter your date of birth in a 6 digit format now"

It helps burn through your mobile minutes. I read that the phone companies make almost a billion dollars a year in airtime fees for having that annoying message that tells you how to leave a voice message if the called party doesn't answer.

The little twats who used to play various techo bollocks from their cars at high volume now playing Michael Jackson's Bad. "Yes thankyou, I have heard that before."

Good man!
It's the heavy bass that's always the killer though. Of the thousands of laws New Labout have brought in since they came to power, why couldn't have one been to legally limit the maximum sub-woofer wattage (technically I may be talking bollocks here) allowed in cars, or something?

No, that makes perfect sense.

Destroy all humans.

Destroy all Speed cameras

Is that the game or just a statement of intent?

Well now you've changed it that makes no sense.
