A testament to our American Friends, that they can also laugh at themselves!.....I salute you gents!

*PLEASE NOTE...THIS IS JUST A BIT OF FUN...DON@T TAKE IT PERSONALY* Dear Citizens of America, In view of your failure to elect a competent President and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. Her Sovereign Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy), as from Monday next. Your new prime minister, David Cameron, will appoint a governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: 1. You should look up “revocation” in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up “aluminium,” and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. 2. The letter ‘U’ will be reinstated in words such as ‘colour’, ‘favour’ and ‘neighbour.’ Likewise, you will learn to spell ‘doughnut’ without skipping half the letters, and the suffix “ize” will be replaced by the suffix “ise.” 3. You will learn that the suffix ‘burgh’ is pronounced ‘burra’; you may elect to spell Pittsburgh as ‘Pittsberg’ if you find you simply can’t cope with correct pronunciation. 4. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels (look up “vocabulary”). Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as “like” and “you know” is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. 5. There is no such thing as “US English.” We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter ‘u’ and the elimination of “-ize.” 6. You will relearn your original national anthem, “God Save The Queen”, but only after fully carrying out Task #1 (see above). 7. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday, but to be celebrated only in England. It will be called “Come-Uppance Day.” 8. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you’re not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you’re not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you’re not grown up enough to handle a gun. 9. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. 10. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. 11. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric immediately and without the benefit of conversion tables… Both roundabouts and metrification will help you understand the British sense of humour. 12. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling “gasoline”) – roughly $8/US per gallon. Get used to it. 13. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call french fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called “crisps.” Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with malt vinegar. 14. Waiters and waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers. 15. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as “beer,” and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as “Lager.” American brands will be referred to as “Near-Frozen Gnat’s Urine,” so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion. 16. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors as English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialogue in “Four Weddings and a Funeral” was an experience akin to having one’s ear removed with a cheese grater. 17. You will cease playing American “football.” There is only one kind of proper football; you call it “soccer”. Those of you brave enough, in time, will be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American “football”, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of Jessies – English slang for “Big Girls Blouse”). 18. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the “World Series” for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable and forgiven. 19. You must tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us mad. 20. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty’s Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due, backdated to 1776. Thank you for your co-operation John Cleese Read more: Letter To United States Of America http://www.neforum2.co.uk/smf/humour-and-funny-jokes/letter-to-united-states-of-america/#ixzz1Lqo2Yd1u Under Creative Commons License: Attribution Non-Commercial

I had an Acer laptop brought to me, after the customer had spilled a glass of Red Wine over the keyboard. I'm usually quite nervous of Laptops...damn fiddly things...but I got to work, stripped it down completely to it's component parts...and had a sh*tload of screws carefully placed in a little pot! The HDD was totally screwed...the wine having clogged it up completely (especially as the customer had held off bringing it for 4 weeks!!!) So, I put a new HDD in....re-assembled it all...and Bingo...it actually worked!....and not even one screw left over! Have to say...I'm pretty chuffed...and so is the customer. (not sure if it woulda been a happy ending, if it had been a sugery cup of tea however!) Give me a Desktop anyday!!!!

I saw a funny one...it was a Goldfish Food box, with a pic of OBL on the front. The writing on the box read: "Fish Food....WARNING...May contain traces of Lead"

superb App, I use nothing else

me too!..hahaha

Good advice from Olham...unless you are doing a complete reskin, PS is a bit overkill!...certainly try paintnet as advised by Lou too

Downloading now!...really hope they've improved the view on this patch...the glare is unbearable

CS3 works for me

no, it's pretty self reliant!...there's a gaming bolt on, that I'm looking into too!...worked well with Oblivion on my W7 machine using it!...shuts down all the unnecessary windows crap

I was a big fan of XP Manager...and I was going to buy the Windows 7 version. Until I found this! http://download.cnet.com/Advanced-SystemCare-Free/3000-2086_4-10407614.html There is a payware version..but the free one is all you really need

Absolutely!...I decided to veto all Sony Products years ago
