    OK, what type circuit board..? If it's 1982 it's probably a Valhalla. My Valhalla board went up the creek and I was able to get one on ebay for £70. Second hand, of course, but perfectly fine. the disassembly/reassembly is an absolute piece of... [ie it's dead easy].

    I'm from the LP12/Ittok/Troika era. Bags of stylus life left in the old red cartridge too. :cool:

    Poldark dull..? It's brilliant..! Can't make my mind up whether it is better than the 1970's adaptation though.

    Jimmy's done it! Anderson gets his 384th Test wicket to move ahead of Ian Botham as the most successful England bowler.

    England need 3 more wickets to win the 1st Test.

    Good spot, PL. I was aware that there are several female motorcyclists from Iran. They generally are normally [and especially only] allowed to ride on tracks and off-road courses, but are not allowed to compete in races or sporting events. They are also not allowed to ride on the road. Yet they still manage to ride their bikes because it gives them an immense sense of freedom. I bet it does. It's about time they had the same freedom as men. Isn't Islam fantastic..? [I'm being sarcastic btw]

    It's about putting oneself out. He realised he could do something really useful. Many people sleepwalk through their lives when they could make a difference without going near Comic Relief or Pudsey Bear, or other charities, for example.

    Of course he was a great person. It doesn't surprise me about him. He felt very deeply about things and he masked it in humour. It's one of the reasons why he suffered with depression despite appearing to have everything to live for.

    West Indies bat out the draw fairly easily in the end. Not sure how poor a performance that was from England. West Indies are pretty average but it sounds like the pitch was utterly dead.

    Thank you!

    I agree they should have the same freedom as men. I watched a film few years ago called Offside which is about an Iranian woman attempting to sneak into a World Cup 2006 qualifier by dressing up as a man, it's good that it now describes a situation which now is confined to the past where it belongs. And not to get into a whole religious debate, but Christianity's attitude to women wasn't a great deal different in the past. Obviously for the most part Christianity has moved on, and I'm sure given time Islam will too.

    Battlefront 2 was amazing. Though I never did complete the campaign, I got to just after Order 66 iirc. Great fun online though. Hope it's on Steam

    Didn't EA originally cancel Battlefront 3?

    I always liked the Tantive IV. The narrow corridors made for some good fights, particularly when you were armed with a lightsabre and everyone else just had blasters :cheesy:

    We may find that it takes a whole lot longer than we can hope for. But let's hope that a people will eventually see sense and not put ancient beliefs above innocent women.

    Don't confuse the Iranian Shia political state with your everyday Muslim all round nice guy. Iran will change when they are gone (or they get nukes...I guess).
