Too bad Harry wasn't around in the 60s and 70s. Those kids could of made spells to protect themselves from getting beaten, put into servitude and having their babies stolen off them by the nuns, and getting raped and molested by the priests. | |

I've had a great trip to New York. I would certainly go back at some stage but I also want to go motorcyling in Virginia. Mbaya, I would never have thought to stop outside the city. 15 minutes by bus sounds ok. T. | |

The underground extends beyond the commercial, entertainment and touristy parts of London, into the residential suburbs and estates, not all of which are particularly salubrious. That said, whilst there is a recent surge in pointless violent street crime in some outlying residential districts, I do not believe there are any particular ‘no go’ areas anywhere. Most random violence at the moment seems to be in the outer boroughs between kids and youths knifing each other over grievances – real or imagined – and on the street rather than on the underground. Obviously you should follow the usual rules – don’t flash money about and don’t act like a dick but other than that, the likelihood of encountering problems in the parts you are likely to get to are remote indeed. As with anyone and anywhere, it always feels a bit uncomfortable travelling really late at night alone so I would try and avoid it, but that is more just a general sensible precaution rather than out of any expectation of a problem. There may be groups of drunk revellers in the evening but so long as you just keep a bit of a distance all will be fine. Again – just common sense and as applicable in the street as on the underground. I am not as pessimistic as Shen in terms of finding your way around the underground. But travelling on it is an experience to be endured not savoured. It is for the most part fairly dingy. At the main stations at commuter times the build-up of bodies borders on the sort of thing you only thought happened in films – spilling off the platform, up the stairs and out into the concourse. Shutters get pulled across to prevent too many people getting down to the platform. But outside those times it isn’t too bad. It isn’t a social network on the underground. If someone talks to you, for the most part they will be after money, drunk, mad or a combination of all three. From time to time someone promotes the idea of wearing badges to indicate that one is a person happy to converse in the normal manner but it never gets off the ground. Overall you will find more signs of communication, good manners and civility in an ant colony. The guide books will tell you more than I ever could about the sights and museums etc. I think the only thing I might add is that if you have particular interests then most main centres are fairly accessible and not that far from London by train (albeit that the train is expensive). So, for example, Rochester at 50 mins to an hour by train might be a destination for folks interested in the life works of Charles Dickens. Pretty(ish) in the day but as rough as old boots at night – much like in Dickens’ own time I imagine. But you get the idea in terms of the concept of other destinations! T. | |

Hi Pinkerton, It is Icy Box IB-RD3620SU3. They have got one the same here: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/2-bay-ic...via-usb-30-esata?v=c It is a model that I have used successfully with other drives for sometime. The HDD is : Western Digital 2TB WD Blue Hard Disk Drive/HDD WD20EZRZ WD Blue, 3.5" HDD, SATA III - 6Gb/s, 5400 RPM, 64MB Cache, OEM of which one has initialize fine. The other, as I say, comes up in disk management at double the proper size. Hi Jade - manually backing up or other system doesn't work for me. it is this or nothing ! T. | |

Dear All, I ordered two matching 4TB drives to use as raid1. I inserted them into a new raid caddy. They did not show up in the windows directories (which I established was down to them not being initialized and no volume yet created). I then found the drives using the disk management button (windows 10). After a couple of dead ends trying to initialize them with both in the caddy I decided to initialize them one at a time. So I took one out and got on with it and it seems to have worked. It shows the correct storage size and I have initialized it and formatted it successfully. I have loaded a test file onto it and all is fine. The second drive when inserted on its own is showing in disk management as as 7451GB (i.e. double what it should). It then gives an I/O device error when I press the initialize button. I have looked up what I/O device error means but these seem to suggest faulty cables or sockets but clearly the raid caddy is fine as one has worked ok. The other solutions were far too complicated to understand and seemed design to solve other I/O problems anyway - not one where the disk shows as double capacity. Any ideas folks ? TIA. T. | |

Hi, My view is get a new machine. I started upgrades on a 6 year old machine and thought I was being quite clever and getting a better machine for not a lot more cash. If I was an expert at it then it might have gone a bit better. But by the time you sort out RAM, then a new screen card thing to cope with Windows 10 was needed, then this that and the other. Well there you go. Mine was a pretty decent machine when I got it but after finding one issue after another with my upgrade project in end I spent £300 (down from £450 as it was about to be superceded) and got a new desk top base unit. I kept the existing screen. By the time I made this decision I had spent about £150 on the old machine. Technically what I bought is a bit lower down the price point than my last one was at the time, but it still performs better than the old one plus upgrades. As it happens I wasn't really out of pocket as if I had decided to replace the machine at the outset it would have been 6 months earlier I would have probably bought the same machine at its peak price of £450 anyway ! But it was a valuable lesson that DIYing on upgrades doesn't work for me. Tweaks on previous machines have always been pretty disappointing in the long run as well. You could pay someone that knows what they are doing and avoid some of the basic mistakes I made but then you have got their cost on top. When I bought it, £300 was relatively not a huge amount compared to what else was on offer from the chain store. I do not need the best machine. I just use for internet and a bit of word processing and scanning of mags to digital but not at expert level. T. Edited on Feb 05, 2018, 04:12am | |

I won't do a full list or we'll be here all day but even just recent BB King, Lemmy, Chris Squire, Lou Reed. Even if you don't think they were all awesomely skilled they were all important in terms of their contributions to their genres. And it isn't going to get any better. The musicians that formed a huge part for lots of us are going to leave soon. Lou Reed has gone but of those left, for me Leonard Cohen is going to be the hardest hit. And we don't even know these people. Edited on Jan 13, 2016, 01:40pm | |

I can't reply in technical detail but for what it is worth I found the difference is noticeable and worth while on a 24inch pc monitor. Obviously you sit closer to that though. I just went to check the difference on the main tv but the file format isn't supported. Which is interesting as the monitor is not particularly new but the tv is. T. | |

JD1961 has pretty much summed up what is bad about it these days and there is so much stuff that the good bits get lost in it all. But there is still lots of new stuff that is very sparkly if you find it. I would say sparkly in a different way to the older films like from Alpha France, but sparkly none-the-less. The price is now much fairer than the old days so there is a bit of scope to take a chance every now and then. Edited on Jun 04, 2015, 01:38pm | |

I fantasised a while ago about making one of them raid things where you dump a bunch of drives into a case, with one on off switch and the data duplicates itself as a mirror automatically. But my computer knowledge, and time available to work it all, out meant that each time I just to the easy option and each time added another external 2TB drive ona usb lead. So I am now on three 2 TB drives, replicated for back up on another three 2 TB drives plus a couple of 1 TBs plugged onto the motherboard flopping about inside the pc case. It is a pain to duplicate everything and I have run out of usb ports to plug them all in at once as it is and I need another 2TB of space at least. So that means another x2 2TB drives. Plus there are power leads everywhere. I gather there are ways to make XP work with 3TB and 4 TB drives but again I am not sure I can be arsed because it seems looking at it today that you can get a pc base running windows 8 with a decent spec for 400 GBP that will read 4 tb drives. 4tb drives cost about 20GBP more to buy than a 2tb i.e. negligible so I figure what I save on the first set of drives will contribute 100GBP or thereabouts towards the new machine plus I won't have to upgrade XP seperately (not that I ever actually would have done I suppose). So apart from the obvious issue of losing a whopping 4tb of data when a drive goes down (which really is no different to losing a 2tb drive if it is backed up), are there any obvious flaws in this plan and the bigger drives ?!!

I am not a fan of fox hunting but objected strongly to the labour government banning it with no real mandate. I'm not a smoker but I oppose the idea of banning it in outside or in your own car, which could happen under a conservative government.Again with no real mandate from the public. Greed and selfishness know no political boundaries and my view was that if they can cull these things that have been done for hundreds of years in one fell swoop with no consultation then sooner or later it would be something I liked that got it. As I say, I'm not a great fan of the items in the list about but it's quite wrong. | |

Not that those are my bag but how is, for example, female ejaculation (if such as thing exists) extreme. Does no humiliation mean an end to CFNM sites or does it depend on the gender of the person in charge in the scene. Will the same rules apply to hollywood films ? They will have to ban the railway children. | |

In the UK old paper vouchers used to last indefinately but a lot of the new plastic loadable cards seem to have fairly short lifetime now of a year. That is not long and I have a couple that have pretty much gone out of date as I just don't use those stores. I would rather have 50% of something than 100% of nothing so personally I think that this is a good option to have. Not sure if it works in the UK though but a positive vote from me for the concept. | |

Messmer, it seems you did. The films are in slightly higher screen quality now but they are still not the best definition by today's standards. But I can forgive this due to the style of content. Have a look at Fucking Gamble. I have never joined this site but got a free trial video which was quite fun. There's lot of players in the scenes so if there's someone in it you don't like it could spoil the scene a bit. It also strikes me it could get a bit monotonous after a while but it looks like its worth a month at least and there's enough scenes I imagine that there would be a few keepers in there. They do high definition too. There's a bit of an orgymxxx feel about it and also there's Russian sites of a similar style but since I don't speak Russian this one would be better as its in English lol. I have just had a quick look at the tour and they still do the free trial which lets you download about 3GB but you have to give an email address - not a big deal and I have not seen any spam that seems to have come as a result of it (but that could have changed as I must have signed up well over a year ago).

Maybe have a look at the guest section at suburban amateurs. This is a uk site with solo girls site where in the majority of the films they talk to the viewer describing this and that. A few of them encourage you to do your thing. If you like this type of thing then is definately a site to look at. If not, you'll want to avoid it lol. There's lots of nice lingerie and photo sets as well. I keep meaning to do a review but can't find the time. | |

I am with Squirrel on a lot of this, although I tend not to over worry about the 3+1 point even if it is a bit of a nuisance. I would add point 6 though : Nowadays if you get ripped off on a site there is at least some chance you can get your money back off the billing company. I have read posts where that happened. Also, once I thought my subscription ended at 12pm UK time and intended to get some scenes later that night but I got shut out before 12. So I emailed to complain and they gave me 2 extra days. When I thought about it, it may have been 12pm euro time so perhaps I didn't get screwed at all. But they still had given me the extra days. And now we can get the word out on forums and what not if we do get genuinely ripped. In the old days I heard that if you went back to soho to complain that the Private video you paid £50 for (probably about 75USD) was a blank tape you'd probably just get kicked in the side of the head.

I agree with rear admiral and luv lickn clit on this one. I also agree with the posters above who have said that the quality of the albeit cheap to buy material is oftentimes pretty poor. Not in technical super duper hi res quality but that same old do it by numbers stuff performed by people who look disinterested and filmed by people with no technical skills whatsoever with no sets and no build up. A good episode of Fawlty Towers with lots of scenes with Polly in is more erotic than a lot of it. It doesn't matter if its super hi res because if the content is crap you just get to see more clearly how bad it really is ! But there are some good modern type scenes to be had, some sites do at least attempt a build up and at the price there is still a good return on investment to be had. The Squirrel has descried the biggest downside which is the amount of hours you have to spend trawling for the good scenes so nowadays it is time issue versus a money issue. He has said it better in his new thread on the story so far. But to fill the gap you can also elect to drop some bucks and treat yourself to an alphafrance dvd. So there is the best of both worlds really. And when you buy the alpha france film it will remind you just how expensive it used to be. Thomas Edited on Jan 14, 2013, 01:16pm | |

Definately loving seeing girls dancing. You can get some scenes like this on Student Sex Parties. Not sure if this is quite what you had in mind but it's got a bit of an amateur feel to it in places. Also Drunk Sex Orgy had lots of nice ones on the old orgymaxx site. Not sure I'd go back there myself since it got taken over by that other outfit and they wrecked it but it may still be worth a look if you have not seen it before. Edited on Dec 03, 2012, 02:36pm | |

Thanks GPL for your thread idea and your story. Also Cybertoads story. They make brilliant reading. I especially relate to the general order of things in GPL's story as I am in the UK and not a lot older. Obviously for me at least though GPL there were girls in the magazines ! Sadly my first magazine I bought was loaned out never to be seen again, although we did a swap so I have still got his one but its not quite the same as still having the very original one I bought.

I don't think your going to have a lot of luck in finding sites with genuinely random girls being filmed who decided to get shagged for the internet instead of going to the shops after all. Red Light Sex Trips however is a prostitute themed site (although they don't get picked up off the street) but they might be real working girls and, if they are, I suppose that's a close match to reality of girls being paid to have sex with random people that might fit the bill. | |

If they are old favourites that you can't get on a dvd to buy then I think it is worth making a modern copy. If you can get a dvd recorder/vhs unit in one use that, it will be less hassle than getting the kit to plug the vcr into the computer (albeit more expensive at about £250 for a new one when I looked last about a year ago although you might be able to get a secondhand one for less from someone who has already done their conversions). Whichever way you do it all depends how much time you want to devote to it compared to the outlay. Having said that, I have not used the pc convertor kit so it may be that it is not that much trouble after all. With a pc kit you may also find you can edit the videos better with hand chosen chapter stops, edit out the crap bits and what not. Personally, unless you've got loads of free time on your hands I don't think its worth the extra time to mess about with editing even a favorite old adult flick; a dvd recorder will do auto chapter stops every 8 mins or whatever which is a fair compromise and the way I see it, that it 100 times better than what you had with the VHS ! Most people probably wouldn't care less, but personally I would then chuck out the tapes - ethically I think if you have made a copy for yourself then the original shouldn't be recycled to a new viewer. Just cut the tape in half, and if you don't want to put them in the household waste then just drop them in at the council tip. Edited on Sep 20, 2012, 12:31pm | |

If the limitation wasn't clear to you, even on a second look, maybe that's because it's not very clear ! It's totally bogus to threaten a lawsuit - as has been said, it's the limitation that will cost business not your opinion of the way the terms are written ! | |

Dude 400 bucks !! That's a salutary lesson for us all lol ! I also read your comments on the comments board about the site on the site which appear to give the lie to the notion that producers have to make more and more extreme stuff to sell lots of it. You don't. What you have to do is engage with the consumer better. | |

Louis Theroux was following up on a BBC documentary he made 15 years ago. I said in the 'sameness' discussion that since I'm not in the business I couldn't say with any authority that tubes are killing the business. But my instinct is that it isn't, any more than 'home taping' in the 80s didn't kill music. It's all relative and it required no more technical skill to queue up a record player or double tape deck back then than it does to download a pirate vid does now. In both cases you end up with a poor copy of the original. In fact, copied tapes were probably a better replicant than sub standard grainy vids are today but they still didn't kill the music biz despite the skulls and crossbones on the paper sleeves that you slide the record into. Developing a theme already mentioned above, for every copy of a 1980s record that got circulated that was an advert that probably caused people that heard it to go out a follow those bands buying records, then cds then dvds and concert tickets for the next 30 years. Also as observed above people that want grainy vids probably weren't ever going to pay to get decent ones anyway. The trend for declining sales is more likely surely to be increased competition which, over a prolonged period, is going to face most professions sooner or later. The thing to do is stop moaning and producing lousy output, re-invent what you are doing and the business model if need be, and produce decent product that people want to buy.

This complaint that you have messmer is quite a fair criticism. The theory at the moment is that free download pirate sites are killing the biz. Since I'm not in the biz I can't comment on how true that is. However, I do think the producers could do their bit and at least try to make a product people will want to buy. I have joined several sites recently, all that would be described as niche, so its not as if they don't have some idea of the concept that if you make the right product it will sell. But even then they seem almost invariably incapable of understanding what people want and what they need to do to set themselves apart. On the subject of sameness, surely they could afford to buy more than a dozen nice lingerie outfits to use. You can buy these lingerie sets, good ones, in the sales for 15 uk pounds if you time it right. And if you are in business there is no reason you couldn't time it right. Yet, literally 18 months after joining a certain site, they are still putting up new sets in the same gear they have when the site started 3 years ago. Then they wonder why maybe a person wouldn't be rushing to re-join. Er, maybe because all the lingerie sets we'd like to see the girls in that have been in the shops of the last year that you could've bought never appear on the site. (This view is based on UK sites with material that can be dated as being shot fairly recently). What better way to keep the content up to date and relevant to the people that want to subscribe ?

Claypaws’ comments on the applicable of tax are incontrovertible. Equally Reveen’s research is illuminating. The truth probably lies somewhere in between. For a third thing to throw in the mix – some countries have lower net incomes which will alter the affordability of the product being sold. It is not unreasonable in my view to offer to sell your product to those people for a lower price even if the cost of the supply is the same. Which is not to say I think that precision could be achieved or that this could ever justify a difference between UK and US or across the Eurozone (although Greece may soon be an exception). I am not sure between which two countries it would be justifiable as I have not researched it, but I think the principle is sound. On the tv we are faced with continual adverts from ASDA (part of Walmart), Tescos and all the big supermarkets about how they are ‘rolling back’ their prices and are cheaper than everyone else. The price in ASDA for 7 pack club biscuits this week was £1.79 and for fairy liquid washing up was about £1.50. In the pound shop I could buy each of the items for….£1. We are being ripped off left, right and centre. Keeping up with it all is exhausting. I don’t think subscribers to adult films are being singled out for special treatment. I like that after lost of posts expressing different views no-one has found it necessary to start slagging anyone else off. There aren't many forums where that could be said. | |

It's a nice scenario but I think there's maybe not enough detail in it and it gets to the end too quick. I'd like to know what's the shop like, if I was there what would I see if I looked about; what does her outfit actually look like and what's under it; what's on the rails you mention that are near where he's standing; what do they go past on the way to the changing cubicle; could they see anything to distract them on the way there and what might it be etc. ? I obviously know what a dept store looks like lol and maybe I want to do a bit of thinking but only around the scene that you create. At the moment it is necessary to have to fill in too many of the blanks. Even for a short story I would aim to make it x3 the length. If you were prepared to alter slightly the time imperative then there's more scope to do all sorts of things on the way to the changing cubicle  ! Edited on Apr 29, 2012, 04:09am | |

I like reading them but mostly its a girl thing. So if you want to sell lots you have to have that in mind. | |

Thanks everyone - I don't fully understand all the technical bits, but the good news is that I can now see my drive and get access to the data  | |

I can't see any yellow triangles but when I go to the screen you mention and click on 'disk drives' a list drops down and the new drive is on the list. That's good news isn't it ? It does'nt show up in 'my computer' though so I can't see how to actually get at the data  Update : There it is ! I can access it as a stand alone drive and the data is all there  Thanks all for your ideas Edited on Apr 14, 2012, 02:59pm | |

I have gone into the bios thingy and told it that there is not a drive on that sata port but when I come out of bios and the computer starts to wind itself up ready to go it tells me that it cannot detect the drive on the port . The disc has definately got power on it. | |

Hi Wittyguy/Micha - you make fair points but I wanted to try and use those spare sata ports at some stage anyway so now is a good a time as any to sort the technical bit. RagingBhuddist - thanks - the drive doesn't show up there - just the C drive.... Edited on Apr 12, 2012, 10:15am | |

Can anyone advise please : I have an external drive that I want to add to the inside of my pc. It is a 1.5TB external drive that has failed. I am suspicious it is just the pcb that controls the power to the drive and that the drive is ok. I could simply buy a standalone kit that you can use to convert a naked drive to usb and if my suspicion that the drive is still good is right then I am back to where I started. However, my main aim is not really to salvage the data on the drive (everything is duplicated onto TWO externals ). Instead, if the drive is still good, I want to reuse it in the neatest way, hence my question below. My PC has 4 sata ports on the motherboard. The two hard drives it was shipped with occupy two of ports such that there are two physical hard drives but they both make up the c drive that is visible in the list of drives. So far so normal. I thought you could add an extra drive, either (1) so that it appears as part of the overall c drive or (2) so that the third drive is a stand alone drive simply plugged into one of the spare ports on the motherboard so it shows up as it's own drive letter in the menu (so that if the whole machine fails I can just lift the drive out and plug it in somewhere else). I have taken the hard drive out the external case and connected it to a spare power cable in the pc. The good news is that the subject drive is spinning which it did not do before so my feeling is that the drive is still good. However, I have connected it via the sata cable to one of the spare ports but when I look in the windows start 'explore' button to see what drives there are it does not appear. I have tried the system properties 'find hardware' etc. and buttons on windows control panel but suspect something more technical is needed and that, whilst I cannot see any obvious way of doing it, it can be done. Can anyone help please ? | |

Hello everyone, I love 70s era ones : 1. Mostly they are feature films with plots. I skip a lot of the plot part but with plots you get to see the girls in different outfits in everyday settings. I like seeing them in those settings in the shops or the street and in everyday outfits knowing that more likely than not later on you'll get to see more. It builds up lots of anticipation. 2. The story does always require you see all the girls do all the sex positions and routines. I like that it's not so predictable and routine. 3. The girls seem to be more into the scenes; there is more chemistry between the models. The scenes almost invariably are very sexy. There seems to be an element of fun and lightness about it all. 4. The stories often do not require that the girls get push round like bits of meat. Some films involve a story where that happens a bit, like if it's a hostage scenario, but then it's more part of the story rather than some bloke treating them shit for the hell of it. Personally I'm not that keen on them hostage type ones. 5. The lingerie is generally really really nice. And often they don't take it all off in 30 seconds flat. 6. I found that I actually really like all the pubic hair. 7. They seem to find proper sexy women and don't feel the need to pretend that they are all 'teens'. 8. When it comes to filming the sex bits somehow they just do it better. I think the photographers were technically more proficient. 9. I find it fascinating to see the older cars, street scenes and inside the house the bookcases and furnishings. The quality of the picture tends to be a bit variable. With modern stuff I expect and demand the best resolution but I am quite forgiving with the older films. If I had to choose one or the other I would take the older films with less than stunning picture over the newer stuff. I like the French ones best especially Alpha France. The US ones I'm not too keen on and they don't so much fit the description I have given above. I'd sooner watch the French ones where I don't understand much of the words than the US ones. You can find summaries of lots of the popular films anyway. So if you read that you can get the gist of what the story is and what they are going on about. Thomas. | |

4 reasons not to delete stuff : 1. It’s fun to go back over older stuff and re-discover old scenes you forgot about and ones you weren’t that keen on then, you might like better now because tastes change. 2. You’ll find another model you really like and one day, in amongst the junk, you’ll find some scenes of her you never realised you had and be very pleased and which otherwise you might have deleted. 3. There are plenty of external drives 1 to 1.5 TB on Currys digital right now for about £80 which is hardly more than they normally are. 4. Just accept you’ll end up with lots of drives under the desk. It's not worth worrying about. Unless you run your own business just remember to unplug them and throw them in a cupboard when people come round cos no-one has half a dozen drives under the desk unless its for a business or smut. | |
