There is a guy I know on the Wolves LUG who has a load of Linux
magazines (not necesarily 'Linux Magazine') to give away. Somebody
was going to have them on the Wolves LUG but they now can't. He may
still have them so if anybody is interested I can put you in touch. I
cannot guarantee that he still has them though and you would have to
journey into Wolverhampton to pick them up. It would be worth it
though to boost you Linux knowledge.
Let me know if you are interested and I'll contact him.

Is there a copy of "How to treat members properly" in amongst the mags? ;-)

Ha, ha, ha......well they didn't read it if there is. Mind you, the

mine...AS.

He's a really cool guy, sort of bloke I'd happily drive through this
snow for if he asked.

I've given blokes the shirt off my back before now then had them moan
that a button is missing and then just to add insult to injury they
team up with one or two others like the sheep they are and openly
flame/insult me totally forgetting how sickeningly they had groveled
for whatever it was they was getting from me for free.

TBH IMO its not the snow but the drivers that cause the problems, when
I drove home yesterday at 4.00pm the A34 Cannock-Walsall had slushy
black stuff on it sure the paths had two or three inches of snow but
we don't drive on them. This complete tosser in front of me had no
other cars in front of him and yet insisted on driving at between
20-25 mile an hour for 6 miles!!
I nearly did road rage and he nearly had no back window screen.

I don't actually miss my Discovery in this weather - it was a mad
birthday present to myself back in 1996, brand new it was, never again
though. The bonus of having 4 wheel drive got negated by the sheer
weight of the vehicle. However, I do miss it when I go fishing. I
sued to be able to get into some fantastic fishing spots that the
Astra will curl up and die just looking at.

Like Clarkson once said " you've got to be a martyr to the british

S :))
For once I agree with the obnoxious twit :-) I bought that vehicle
brand new, paid cash and it was terrible. I ended up having to have
both sunrooves replaced because they leaked..badly. Leather trim was
ripped and the engine made a horrible whining noise that really
aggravated while I was driving - not good for road safety. The glove
box also rattled and squeeked like mad and what the did the guy from
Bushbury Land Rover do? Put some of his spit round the edge and said
"there, sorted"...WHAT!!!!! That vehicle certainly was not worth the
£30,000 I paid for it. If it had been a Defender I might have
accepted some of this but not on a top of the range luxury model.

For more than twenty years I bought only american cars. Always a station wagon for towing
and general use and a muscle car for playing. Mostly Chevy and Pontiac. They were
wonderful. When petrol prices became obscene in the 90's (and I became too idle to
earn all that petrol cash) I bought a turbo diesel range rover. What a bag of s**t that
was. Towing a large caravan on extended trips around europe, even allowing for the fact
that I was used towing with a 300hp 2,5 ton car, the range rover was pathetic. And I had
to fix something on it every week!
I just stick to the boat now!

I actually came close to buying a Range Rover myself. But it was just
at the time when they were bringing in the new shape ones. I
preferred the look of the older one so went for the Discovery ES.
