glad you got it figured out. You probably just need to upgrade or reload your Windows Media PLayer. Yes, it can be finicky...afterall, it's a microsoft product! :)

I manage to give the illusion of being good at computers, the same goes with a few other things.

AAC, Ptolemy and Guy - computer update, was online last night when I got a 'ting' message in the middle of the screen advising me that a windows media player update was now available and did I want it? I clicked, it whirrred and now my CD's play just like they used to. Computer fairy rides again.

quick, shake your entroposcope...Microsoft did something that worked...there has to be some strange coalescence of coincidence there, don't you think?

I cant look at that word entroposcope without thinking of that thing hospitals do with a rubber tubey thing when they want to look at your digestive tract, from either end. Ooh matron.

Yes and funnily enough it's actuall called an endoscope. Maybe it should be renamed an eitherendoscope (but wash it first). ;)

As I've just been tired and emotional all over another thread I needed that, not the proceedure - just the laugh. There's nothing like the snap of a latex glove on a fine summers morning to stir your soul.

Well, I don't know whether the soul stirring still applies on a fine summers afternoon, but I'll be getting the old latex glove treatment at the hospital later. I hope they bring in some medical students again, their little embarassed faces are so cute!

I've had a couple of babies and I love it when they wheel in some med students, especially when they have those little face masks on. A few days later when you've made it down to the coffee lounge you never know if the young 'uns on the next table could draw you a map of your nether regions!

Holly, sorry to be late with the congrats but "hoorah" anyway, I'm really pleased for you! Off now to find the "other thread" you mention to see if I can offer any support there too (even if it is only to be a source of mirth, something I'm well used to by now!)

As someone who is no stranger to the GastroIntestinal dept at the General and the Centre for Liver and Digestive Disorders at the Infirmary, I wince in your general direction.

We regulars call it Bums and Tums.

And it is funny meeting your doctors in the hospital shop, except when they whip the chocolate bar from your hand and say "I know you shouldn't be eating that", and you reply, "Well I wouldn't want it now you've touched it, I know where your hands have been"
