Ok so I go to , and nothing happens when i click the video, of course, however....at the very end when a flash kind of ad comes up, and I clicked, my CD drive opens and my monitor shuts off. Whats going on? How can a flash application do that?! Please Reply, maybe i can use the code in some of my applications



idk if it works with Mozilla, I was using Internet Explorer (With flash player installed, of course), on a Microsoft Windows XP CPU



Does it work better if you drink real ale instea dof that hooch you've been drinking to post developer questions in a real ale newsgroup ?

;-)

Poll: how much trust would you put in code obtained from a beer newsgroup?

a) Wouldn't touch code from any newsgroup b) Wouldn't tough code from a non-computer group c) Could let it settle, soft spile it and see what happens.

LOLOL ! (c) for sure ;-)

Windows or RISC OS ?

Tut, proper mixed use of hard and soft please. Just like using the right code in the right place.

Tut & indeed shive, lock (in), stock (ale) & barrel.

Hi again Steve, what did you make of the Spitting Feathers fest(*)? (twas you, wasn't it?) - I thought it was a cracking day - only curtailed by my having a farmers' market the following day, harumph.

For those of you that missed it, It was a 'West Cheshire beers' fest held on the farm that houses the Spitting Feathers brewery near Chester a cople of weekends ago - good bands, great weather (that must have had divine or devilish intervention!) excellent beer-soused pork- ribs & sausages from pigs reared on site, & 25 decent cool local & (all-) handpulled beers. Brewer Terry even brewed a batch of beer on the day. cheers, MikeMcG. (*) I was trying to get Matthew from SpittingFeathers to call it 'Spit- stock' or 'Spit-Fest' but he declined, can't think why.

Err no... Barely had a drink anywhere outside the hospital social club for months. The pub round the corner and a "small" selection of bottles (and the odd malt scotch) kept in the house have sort of sufficed.

In an alternate health reality it all works out where I drink at the Great British Beer Festival (mostly in neighbouring pubs) and spend the rest of the year in relative abstinence and the gods say I am good and reward me with extra years of life. Back here, it's a binge, I'm an unfit person and the cats are without a proper carer.

BTW. Cheshire is an area far too close to being the stamping grounds of someone I have taken a dislike to.

Can't see the problem, you see the townies appreciate the country folk (translation: cider drinking bumpkins) may not be totally with it until the first drink kicks in. :-)

hah! oh well, apologies. I've got the real chaps business card here somewhere. My main mitigation is that there had been beer & it had been drunken.

it's quite a big place, you know :~)

I normally have no problem with farmers' markets, only when I have the urge to carry on drinking decent beer with decent folks long into the night, but realise that I shouldn't, as I have to drive my beer to a farmers' market at some unGodly hour. Ho hum. cheers MikeMcG
