Chris, let's hope that these forums that you were on and that have gone down is no reflection on you or CC stands no chance. ;)

That's a bugger Hinfrance - I've been using Syncback pro for years and it is spot on. Though if you get the config wrong it will do some damage.

It's not the first time I've had issues. It seems that long file names can cause problems. I've decided to give the backup utility from EaseUS a go. Their partition manager is amazingly good, and so far so is their backup application. Fingers crossed!

I`m in a bad place and everything is annoying me today.
The media re: Alan Pardew - for god`s sake chill. No-one died, a brus of the head and they want him sacked. Touchline ban for 5 games and the fines and move on for God`s sake

Wedding edit from last week. What do you do when the people attending don`t seem to want to be there and the dress style for half the 13 people is hoodies. 8.5 month pregnant bride in a a red and black dress and no make up on their acne. Countless extra processing time... I could go on.

Still ill with cough and fevers after a week

Now the worst my mother in law was taken into hospital whilst we were in Cuba and we rushed straight there on our return. I`m afraid she has terminal cancer of pancreas / liver secoindary and the outlook is glum. Lots of tears about not living to see my eldest daughter married next March. Life can be so cruel.

So what finishes me off?
1. I put £15 into a hospital TV card system to enable her to watch a little TV in her sideward room with nothing else and make the odd exhorbitantly priced call to find that it does not work. No-one in the hospital has a number for them and I have to call a 10p per minute helpline who we watch try to fix it remotely for half an hour with no success before they inform me it is broken and no refunds available. I don`t think so!

2. We had a murder mystery weekend booked through Living Social on Sunday which we cancelled in due time to be told there were no other dates available until Dec 14th when the voucher expires so we either transfer it to friends  (Friday night for a Sunday booking) or lose the money. Again I don`t think so though Living Social have initially stated no refund.

When things go wrong life really does kick you in the teeth.

Sorry to bring everyone down :(

Jinky, sounds like you're having a bad time indeed.
I hope things pick up where they can.
All the best to you and your family.
May the Force be with you.

If there was a managers' team playing, Pardew would play Joey Barton's role. The man's a nutter, in more ways than one.

Heartfelt sympathy for you family problems, not a nice situation.

Sorry to hear of your multiple woes Paul. Hope that you climb out of the hole really soon.

Very sad news. So sorry.  :'(

Write to the MD of the company telling them you will taken them to court, using the small claims court option, unless you get a full refund. These companies featured on WatchDog a few years ago.  >:(

Thunderstorm + rural France = no electricity. Probably for hours, if not days. Worst so far was four and  half days. Eek.

Surely a thunderstorm equals lighting therefore, plenty of electricity. Just hold up a copper rod into the air!  :uglystupid2: :legit:

No more candid shots for you, as they will smell you a mile away!  :o :P

Glad you are OK. All the rain we have had over the last three months has caused the ground to be super muddy and slippy. Instead of look around for wildlife you have to keep checking where you are putting your feet.  :(

I cant find a pop up screen shade to fit my screen...grrrrr all very well Samsung giving us a bigger screen but life would have been easier with a size that fitted accessories

All the wool that the politicians try to pull over my eyes. At 76 don't they know I've been there and seen all of it before. Lies and excuses. And as always.....blame the other side.
