Its not overkill, but it does not guarantee that the problem will go away, for it easy just to stick another sim card in and call you again or use another phone.

It may be wise to record this, so that if it occurs again you then have a clear record of it and it may be worthwhile then to ask your provider to change your number.

Yes, its a bit of a hassle in having to tell all your new number, but its 100% in stopping the calls, (though be wary of giving it to your ex, he may just give it to her, though this pure speculation here and he may be a good bloke)...

Hope the nuisance calls stop..

I tend to forget jokes, especially the very funny ones

However, here is a link to Russel Howard's Good News on youtube, Enjoy..

Looks like you have integrated graphics, so I'd recommend researching one to fit as you have a slot for one, according to the specs listed on the following link, though do check what your own hp states in device manager..

I'm not much of a gamer, but looking online there seems to be different versions of this, from i3 to i7 processors, though most reviews accept that its video card is its weakest part.

See what specs the game recommends and also try setting it up for medium detail on your HP.

Check the spec of your pc as it may be possible to increase RAM, (not sure how much this would help), and even add or upgrade the video card. For more details look at the link below which seems to be a good review, though he seems to have a top-end spec machine.

Another option is to maybe see about investing in a game console, like xbox or ps3, easier said than done these days though...

Great, wise words Napodan and Mended and I hope you and your family/friends are safe as I've just heard of the terrible plane crash in Lagos..

Sorry for your loss Boone and you will always have the great memories with you

I'd check the bank account, clear the shared account and then confront them!! (not forgetting the spending spree on their cc )..

Truthfully, I'd be pretty shocked and hoped that they would have raised any concerns regarding the relationship with me and therfore act in a positive way to get things back to what they were.. its all about communication...

Also, along with others who remain in sites due to making great friends, there are those in 'open' relationships and its not an issue for them.. (though I'll never understand it myself)..

Another option is took look for a complete replacement as, especially with desktops, they can be had for very low prices as more people use laptops these days, and you may pickup a machine around 3/4yrs old and has higher spec than you currently have

You could also see if anyone is giving one away for free, even some friends/family may have a machine they no longer use..

One day, it will all make sense...

Many thanks Wux and I'll look out for that book on ebay.. :)

Though some forms of nature are purely there to deceive so that their own personal goal is reached as shown in this clip with the wonderful David Attenborough on Orchids..

Here Comes the Rain Again..

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

I've no real favourite shape, just as long as I find it aesthetically pleasing, and those produced by nature can be some of the most stunning of all.. :)
