It has to be a fix.
It's a fix.
You know it's a fix as well as I do.
Everyone knows it's a fix.
And I used to think that Wrestling was fixed!!!!!!!

I shall assume that just because you type like an AR**HOLE does'nt necessarily mean that you are one.
How many times can the"Draw" throw up the exact match that everyone predicts before we lose interest, or at the very least demand an independent observer?

Where did anyone predict the draw? I did it once on the board. It was uncanny. Must look at that post again.
Being right once in 12147 posts is better than most here I suppose.

I have 12148 posts.
That's twice in 12148 posts.
Not when I posted so its once in 12149 now, sorry. :'(
Still better than Ziggy.

My 12148th post was "I have 12148 posts". Surely that's another post where I was right?
But when I read it you had 12149 so it was wrong. Sorry no appeal (unless you are related to Frank Murphy).

I'm the only one that predicted Antrim would beat Donegal and one of the select few that predicted they'd get pass Cavan :P
What about your fight to retain broadband is it proving to be successful
You don't miss a beat KIDDO :D It's a work in progress.... ;)
Hopefully success can be achieved in this project ,also watch out for this weeks Ulster Herald big feature on the Greencastle club .
Are you an UH employee?

Not wanting to pry into your business too much here but why would you be losing your broadband. I can safely say I would die if someone took away my internet access that was slower than 20megs.

I live in a rural area, which is too far from the local telephone exchange to get broadband. You have to be within 5 miles and I live 7 miles from it. BT was contracted by the British Government to explore ways to bring broadband to a wider population, that wouldn't normally get it. Greencastle was selected for a Fibre Optic trail to see if it would be successful. Now that BT know it's possible, they are pulling the fibre optic broadband out of Greencastle and leaving us with a 24.5k dial up internet connection.

Are you lobbying anybody about it. Access to at least 2megs is essential and from what I can gather is a goal of the Britisg Government. What sort of speed are you on at the moment?? I couldn't stomach going back to dial up.

Yeah, we've got a few people on the case. On 24.4k at the moment. Heart breaking stuff.
As for the 2megs, BT were only contracted to see if it was possible. Now that it they discovered it is, they've pulled the plug. They aren't obligated to keep it.

Zigy what about satellite broadband? At home we're too far from the exchange to get cable broadband but have satellite instead.
Getting satellite in next month. I've used Satellite broadband elsewhere for other things in the past and found it to be quite unstable, depending on the weather. Plus, been told the maximum speed we can expect is 0.5meg. Better than dial up, but not great either.

I've found it pretty reliable. Not as fast as cable broadband right enough but its in a different league to dial up.
I'll see how it goes, but for the next 4 weeks or so I'll be on the slow life.
Is satellite the same thing as those little dongle usb things you can get??

Na the USB things are mobile broadband and will work anywhere you have get the relevant reception. Satellite broadband involved installing a satellite dish on your house.

Ok now I am going to look really stupid here, why not use one of the usb broadband things then, installing a satellite seems like a lot of effort for such a small bit of bandwidth.
I spent roughly three weeks there not long ago atempting to get broadband going in the womens auntieshouse over in maryville, ended up getting vodafone mobile broadband, seems to be going ok. Not sure how great the bandwidth is but I'm assuming itd be better than the dial up! By the way seen niall In the paper there ziggy, what's he up to these days? Was in his class at drumragh

Ah you know him. You'll have to PM me your name. He wouldn't be happy if he found out I was talking about him here :D
Broadband is back in Greencastle since yesterday, thanks to this crowd :)
