(I think this is true). you have to burn the discs at speed lower that your readers maximum reading speed. i.e if u burn at 52 and ur cd player can only read at 4. then i dont think it will work. Is this true??? cos i heard it somewhere. maybe its not.

we need to refine that collection. get rid of the useless ones . and introduce so really useful ones

i havent read the article. so i will say nothing except that xbox is overhyped. it may have the lead in processing power against PS2 but it still doesnt have the userbase and the wide spread of games available as there is for PS2. i personally dont own any game consoles. prefer my computer for FPS as i find the keyboard mouse combo much more preferable than a gamepad. was playing halo on my mates xbox and was completely useless at it.

hang on. what about cauchy, the man who put calculus on firm grounds.... (thats what i read), hes also has the highest number of published papers. second only to (i think) euler. but maybe him being french will have something to do with ur preferences. hehe

i am not sure. commentators and presenters use it quite frequently, it was probably used to emphasise the closeness of our alliance.

Billion - Amazing isn't it. We have the same word for almost the same thing. In fact a billion in American is a thousand million but in English it is a million million, though recently we have started to use your version so as to avoid over generous tips. Best of British - If someone says "The best of British to you" when you are visiting the UK, it simply means good luck. It is short for "best of British luck". Bob's your uncle - This is a well used phrase. It is added to the end of sentences a bit like and that's it! For example if you are telling someone how to make that fabulous banoffee pie you just served them, you would tell them to boil the condensed milk for three hours, spread it onto a basic cheesecake base, slice bananas on top, add some whipped double cream, another layer of banana and Bob's your uncle! Fanny - This is the word for a woman's front bits! One doesn't normally talk about anyone's fanny as it is a bit rude. You certainly don't have a fanny pack, or smack people on their fannys - you would get arrested for that! Careful use of this word in the UK is advised! Her Majesty's pleasure - When visiting England, try to avoid being detained at Her Majesty's pleasure. This means being put in prison with no release date! How's your father? - This is a very old term for sex which plays on our apparent British sensitivity. Rather than saying the actual "sex" word you could refer to having a bit of How's your Father, instead - nudge, nudge, wink, wink. The sort of old fashioned saying dragged up by Austin Powers. Spend a penny - To spend a penny is to go to the bathroom. It is a very old fashioned expression that still exists today. It comes from the fact that in ladies loos you used to operate the door by inserting an old penny go have a look round that site. theres plenty

quoted from the site Bollocks - This is a great English word with many excellent uses. Technically speaking it means testicles but is typically used to describe something that is no good (that's bollocks) or that someone is talking rubbish (he's talking bollocks). Surprisingly it is also used in a positive manner to describe something that is the best, in which case you would describe it as being "the dog's bollocks". Englishmen who live in America take great delight in ordering specialised registration plates for their cars using the letters B.O.L.L.O.X. Good eh?

dude. bush is a frickin president of USA. I except someone of this stature to make very little mistakes. Consider Blair for example. he makes tons of speeches and gives loads of press conferences but i have never heard him make a slip up.
