Me and the lads at work think we have discovered the ultimate Cooplands sandwich!

Its a chicken mayo salad ploughmans and costs less than £3
Keeps you stuffed all afternoon

Marco can be seen modelling it in the attached photo

After a long wait.. and suffering royal mails stupid tracking system (which is still telling me the parcel hasn’t even gone through their warehouse!).. GTA4 special edition is on my desk

I’ve been reading all the reviews for quite a while and needless to say I’m rather excited

Tonight is going to be a late one, and I’m hoping finally that Call Of Duty 4 will have some serious competition for my attention!

So ever since installing my new webcam, my vista SP1 machine (installed from MSDN disc) has been blue screening 18 times a day with a “USB_BUGCODE_DRIVER” error – even after removing all webcam drivers etc.. etc..

So today I figured I’d reinstall vista with my original genuine ultimate x64 disc – then let windows update install SP1 for me

But no… apparently there are “No new important updates” for my computer

Now I know this is bullsh*t because my machine uses 1.2gb of ram just to run on base vista – and takes 20minutes to move/delete or copy any file even if its only 1kb in size. However with SP1 it uses half the ram and everything is really quite useable (I daren’t use the word good )

So I check a few blog sites and find there is a list of hardware drivers not compatible with SP1 so it refuses to show. Wouldn’t it make more sense to show a message “There is a massively important full blown service pack you need – but theres a small chance your soundcard will implode if you install it – so be a good chap and update your drivers”

*sigh*

So I update my soundcard (Audigy 4) drivers so im no longer at risk – but no… Im still not allowed SP1

I’m now sat staring at a 750mb download for the network install version because Windows Update is the single most retarded piece of sh*t that microsoft ever released!
