I'm not having much luck in Manila with a super typhoon lingering & Domestic flights cancelled. :-|

Well from what I hear MNL is not in it's path, so I guess that is a bit of luck in itself. Keep safe!

Not having much luck at all on this trip are you?

Good luck and I hope you have some good travel insurance that covers these events.

I have good travel insurance as default.. I just seem to be in the right place at the wrong time of late..
I'm supposed to go home for a wedding tomorrow.. though I should be excused.. hopefully.. :mrgreen:

Is it safe to come back in here?

You'll be fine!

Not often do I get that feeling of the wind flowing through my hair but I did earlier this afternoon.

Have just finished the end of a week of early morning swim squad.
Daughter no 3 ( aged 10) has just been promoted. She's ecstatic, me not so as it means 6 sessions a week and several 0430 for 0445 starts.
The only upside is the opportunity to head to bed early :shock:
Think this might be the end of the midweek glass of wine

For a medico, I thought early starts were next to not a problem.

Sorry, just my (perhaps warped and stereotyped) perception.

I'm guessing it would depend on the type of medicoing we are talking about. Clearly someone who works on a rotating roster in an ED (that's what we are calling them this week, right?) would have different issues to someone who only works during the day.

When daughter 3 is breaking world records the Payback comes into play. Seriously, a big Commitment on your part, and serious kudos are in order .

When we went away our kids used taxis to get to their training sessions seeing they were too young to drive to the training pool that was on the other side of the river in Perth. It used to cost $1100 a week just for the taxis if we were both away.
Sport kept them drug free and they were tested plus the best result was they had to be absolutely organized with their lives and school homework. All of those organization skills are helpful in life.

Might as well jump in and knock off some laps yourself.......that's how I started swimming - got bored watching.

Feels good to knock out a couple of K's a day.

Can someone please help me connect the Samsung Galaxy S to Windows 7. Everything I have tried has not worked. It does not recognise the mobile.

P.S I am not interested in DriverManager, DriverTuner etc. These drivers should be free. I just want to connect the Samsung Galaxy S to the laptop and copy the photos. Samsung is not selling the drivers but is selling the service to keep drivers up to date. But I can't install the drivers without the service? I managed to connect the phone to this laptop a couple of years ago before the hard disk died but I am struggling now.

Are you blushing? :mrgreen:

Maybe just a little!

JohnK. Try the driver install from here http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
it isn't the latest but should.be a clean install.

I hope you got the CC points for that ?

Whereas now they help you buy the drugs or at least introduce you to the drug resellers.

These days we seem to see way too many self righteous brats who believe the world owes them a living coming out of the elite sporting academies.

Was a great image for QF this morning when the Crew luggage came out 1st on the carousel trumping all the First/Business & priority tagged ones..

I am pretty sure USB plug-and-play support was included from the outset for XP and later.


- Disconnect the USB cable

- Go into Settings/Wireless&network/USB utilities...

- Select "Connect USB Storage to PC"

- Connect Cable

- Select "Connect USB Storage"


When finished make sure you "Unmount/Eject" the "drive" before disconnecting the USB.
