Finally managed to upgrade my laptop to a super speedy SSD and it is amazing. I feel like this:

No, i watch them while clutching a photo of Dannyboy.

I'll take it. Considering changing my name to 'Moustache Robin' though...

Unfortunately, a google search for 'bob the pony' brings up nothing but celebrity hairstyles....

You know what? Now that you mention it, i think you're right.

That's pretty much exactly what i was doing, only in long drawn out stages, as i needed to be able to work on the laptop in between stages. You were right about the double installs (or at least the problem hasn't persisted) nowhere could i find it said that you couldn't have a cloned version of windows. What i did today (after faffing about with it last night too) was to clone it all again using Clonezilla, which is a much better tool than EaseUS. The first time i did it, it tried to just clone the partition with Windows on it (my C: drive), but that wouldn't work; the cloned partition wouldn't boot. I reckon it was because it needed some files from a different (OEM) partition on the HDD. What i needed to do was clone the entire drive rather than just the partition with Windows on it. So i had to delete more stuff, and tell the Clonezilla program to ignore the fact that the clonee drive was bigger than the cloner drive, and this morning I had two identical drives. Too identical, it turned out, as they had the same drive ID, and one of them wouldn't come online. Doh! However, with some faffing they eventually sorted themselves out, and had different ID's. Anyway, i am now writing this on my laptop with my old HDD sat beside me disconnected. Success! /thread.

What if they get promoted?! (It's a real possibility in the lower league....)

You'll be a dude with large earlobes and a funky robe?

I liked Mario Mart Wii...

I didn't mean it was lucky that he came out of his mother's womb rather than slipping out of some random African's vagina purely by accident. How horrible would it be if that were possible? 'Sorry ma'am we're afraid that your baby appears to have been born on the other side of the world. Bad luck. '

Well you get bonus points for knowing the patron saint of Nigeria. Is it St Kanu?

Yeah clearly Dannyboy looks more like Christian Bale midway between The Machinist and Batman Begins.

I guessed the jury one, but how can you not know the Saint of Scotland!? Even by a process of elimination it's pretty obvious isn't it?

I came on at about 10:30pm but I think it over by then. Sadface. Not sure if I will be on tonight.

Or chuck a smoke grenade into his office. The bugger has to come out and see you then.

I think he means being born a white guy in the UK (presumably?) rather than in Sudan or India. That's luck.

So they're changing the citizenship test to be allowed to stay in the UK again. You can try out some of the questions here. I passed with flying colours (minus just the one flying colour), and got 9/10 It's definitely easier than the outgoing one i think, but i'm not entriely sure that knowing these sort of things are entirely necessary to live here. I've always thought it weird that people need to know patriotic tidbits in order to be a citizen, and think that it would be more useful for them to know more day to day things that would help in everyday life. What do you peoples think? Can anyone beat my level of Britishness?

It seems to just point out celebrities who have their face at the same angle rather than ones who actually look like you.

Yes but you get 1 internet point from me, so it's probably all worth it.

These website are clearly a load of rubbish.....oooooooh the Hoff.

Yeah i think i may have to do that, although i'll have to start from scratch. I'm not sure if it is impossible to clone a windows partition, and have it on both drives, without it blocking one of them. I've googled around, and no-one seems to mention that you can't do it, so i might have another go at that first. Nothing with computers ever works first time does it?

Oh something's gone terribly wrong now.... So i swapped the two drives round, and for a brief moment, it was all working. However, i wanted to somehow change the new dtive letter to C: so that i wouldn't have to manually change my whole system so redirect to the E: drive to work....however, that isn't possible, since you can't change the drive letter for a partition that you are booting off. So i thought i would be clever, and change my current C: drive (the old HDD) to G:, boot into the HDD, change the E: to C: and switch back again. Nope. I have no idea if that would have worked or not, because halfway through i booted into my new SSD partition, only to find that it was telling me that that copy of Windows wasn't genuine and i could do nothing but log off. Lame. Not sure what to do now. It seems i can't have two copies of Windows running at the same time (since i technically only have one license) so i'm not sure what to do now.

Sounds to me like she was Being A Woman. Source: I live with one.

They will no doubt tell you that it is the HDMI cables fault/you're using it wrong/blame Google.
