Best song,artist ever. Brilliant!!

Brilliant version of Hallelujah by the pentatonics. They do loads more,such as Bohemium rapsody No instuments,just voice.

ATTENTION 🚫 *If I get vaccinated*:/ Treatment 1.- Can I stop wearing the mask? - No 2.- Can they reopen restaurants etc and everyone work normally? - No 3.- Will I be resistant to covid? - *May be*, but we don't know exactly, it probably won't stop you getting it 4.- At least I won't be contagious to others anymore? - *No you can still pass it on*, possibly, nobody knows. 5.- If we vaccinate all children, will school resume normally? - No 6.- If I am vaccinated, can I stop social distancing? - No 7.- If I am vaccinated, can I stop disinfecting my hands? - No 8.- If I vaccinate myself and my grand parents , can we hug each other/say goodbye before they die. - No 9.- Will cinemas, theatres and stadiums be reopened as normal, after vaccines? - No 10.- Will the vaccinated be able to gather the community closer? - No 11.- What is the real benefit of vaccination? - *The virus may not kill you*. 12.- Are you sure it won't kill me? - No 13.- If statistically the virus didn't kill me anyway ... Why would I get vaccinated?" - To protect others. 14.- So if I get vaccinated, the others are 100% sure I'm not infecting them? - No 15.- is there liability if I get seriously injured or die? -NO 💥 So it is true that the shot does not give immunity. Does not eliminate the virus. Does not prevent death. Does not guarantee you won’t get it. Does not prevent you from getting Covid.. Does not stop you passing it on Does not eliminate the need for travel bans. Does not eliminate the need for business closures. Does not eliminate the need for lockdowns. Does not eliminate the need for masking. So...Why the hell am I getting vaccinated.... To keep running the pharmaceutical BUSINESS? to help bring in the "Great reset". Something more nefarious? 🤔 End the lockdowns and restrictions NOW 🚫🚫🚫

Made me laugh...To think i voted for this stooge?

How to make your bike go faster

Wow was a good advisor on many things years ago R.I.P.

Goodbye old friend. Gone but never forgotten.

Spoke to Bod today for the first time in years, stil his old self, he's married now, but to be honest i had not heard from him in so long i didn't even know if he was alive or not, it's good to know he's doing ok All1

Thanks Gazza and great to see it continuing. Jamerspad will outlive facebook.

Indeed massive thanks Gazza 👏

I have upgraded the forum today to the very latest version.

Nice one James, you have the heart of a lion to keep the site going. I have been here from the start and am just as guilty as all the other members by not posting as much as I should even have Jamers is set as my home page Regards mate

The easiest way to get past this is to use a VPN but the are some free tricks like NOT using Google for search results. I've being using alternative search engines and all the big ones are a no go if your trying to get past Online Safety Act but some of the less known search engines are very promising and the one I'm using the most at the moment is gigablast and this is one for the bookmark and what makes it stand out is you can use it the same way as google but you get two links per result "standard" and "Anonymous Proxy" if you click on standard you will hit UK censorship but click on Anonymous Proxy and it will open that link over the Tor network you even have a Share Tor link button so you can share a weblink uncensored this is good for sending links to people you know don't have a VPN or if you don't know if they have one or not. https://gigablast.org/

Happy new year 😀

Okay I'll have a look but think I'lll end up with a second line on 02

I heard just now that an English pub has just intrduced a new beer at 3.9% which compared to the beers of old is rather weak but appropriate name. "Harry' Bitter"

Happy new year everyone 😀

i moved to a bungalow 6 years ago as stairs was an issue for me too

I have this evening upgraded to the latest version 4.5.4, you may see a few additional features..

I have started the forum upgrade process, so you may see some odd colouring etc in the themes but we should be all good within a few days.

my thought will be with him on that morning, thank you for letting us know. my sincere condolences to his family and friends, rest in peace Morgan

Absolutely gutted to hear this news, I really thought he was coming to terms with things. Great guy and he will be sadly missed RIP Morgan, one of our original members!

RIP dude, not spoken in a few years. Missed but not forgotten

Sad day,you will be sorely missed m8.

I have never met any pad members in real life but have known some of you on here in some shape or form going all the way back to the end of the 90s (I think it was 97/98 when i become a member) I remember A1W going back 20 years ago now we chatted on and off for 20 years So I can say for one he will be missed. R.I.P A1W

Yea he was a super mod on the GSM forum but had a row with someone and got banned, that's my Dave speaks his mind, just pleased he's happy

I would personally like to say a massive THANK YOU to Gazza!! Not only has Gazza provided JamersPad with hosting he has even done all the hard work for me, like backing up the database then transferring everything across to his server. I am more than grateful. During this process we have had no disruption to our forums at all. I have also now made Gazza admin along with myself as this makes sense. Once again Thanks Gazza you are a top man!! JamersPad continues with his generous help and hosting!

could be a number of things, you just have to start from basics, what speed are you getting at the moment? how are you connecting NAS, cable to your router or to pc ? or wifi. where are you transferring the files to, from NAS to PC if connected to your router by Ethernet cable, first put it direct to your pc by Ethernet cable and check you can get a good speed there first. Could be your router slowing the speed, check port speeds on router. ideally you need Gigabit ports for full speed if by wifi what band you using 2.4 or 5 GHZ see if you can connect using the 5GHZ as its faster with new devices, also try a different channel. You can get a phone app to scan and see what devices are using what channel so you can use a channel that's free. I had a sinology and if I remember right when I had one you have to change or check that your running file transfer in SMB3 protocol a quick google on what I had originally came up with the issue and fix on my unit https://bobmckay.com/i-t-support-networking/nas-media-servers/solved-slow-transfer-speeds-synology-nas/

Looks cool Jamer i have emailed them and hopefully get a reply soon, will let you know what goes one All1

Thanks Gazza,Much appreciated by all.

Cheers Gazza!

Thank you for the lifeline Gazza. Maybe I should bequeath you my title. Sir Gazza has a nice ring to it.

I think the idea behind staying is to ease the pressure on the NHS so 10,000 don't turn up in one week better to have 2,500 a week for 4 weeks rather than 10k in a single goal but if that is the case then certain parts of the uk will be on lockdown for some considerable time. stormbringer Christ man so sorry to hear this news, i hope everything goes ok for your buddy in ICU Eddie Large from "Little & Large" has died off COVID as well today ? All1

Yea sod the humans save the fluffy animals..... No not being funny with you but agree i have sent a donation to help the wildlife, my father lives in Adelaide and they had some fires in the hills but nothing near him directly, but i do follow some folks on the gram who live in sydney and they were on the 10th floor of the office and they could not see out the windows due to smoke, very sad, and then comes the floods and hail the size of golf balls, i was joking to my dad on the phone all we need was a plague of locusts and low and behold 2 days later there was a story on the news about a plague of locusts somewhere, not in Aus but just ironic.

Watch and listen Allone - It is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward

Please DON'T DO IT Al1 So sorry to hear about the loss of your wife, and all the really shit things that happened to you both. I can understand how events have driven you to the depths of despair, but there has to be a better solution other than ending it all. I'm at a loss as to what to type. I've never met you but have had you help me out many times and for that I'm truly grateful. I'm getting emotional typing this and all I can do is reiterate. Please DON'T DO IT Al1

I originally set up JamersPad back in 1997, during this time we have seen many changes to the forum, I have tried to keep up with the latest software and I think we have managed it all okay. Where has this 20 years gone? Thank you to all our members who have remained loyal. We have seen many website come and go and we are still here. We are a little quieter these days but we still have many members, keep them topics coming! Happy birthday JamersPad Thank you Jamer

Thank you, we ll we have been here since 1997, so 22 years not many sites can say that although I have just paid for another years hosting I am finding it more difficult to justify the constant updates and costs with the lack of use, maybe I need to start looking at new idea's. I am an avid watch enthusiast, also into Apple devices, Sonos so could look at setting up a few forums, not sure open to ideas.

All the latest features can be found here, lots of new things much faster too.

Can always stick pins in you to see if you bounce right up and say owieee! LOL ...hi hi!

Right now........... it's bloody raining

Check out Stanford university. Thanks have quite e few online and free courses.

Welcome back "old timer" <LOL>

I had PPI on my mortgage with a building society that did not exist anymore. The PPI people called and wanted my case NO wonder at 30% of anything they get You might have been happy Macs with someone taking your dosh for doing 2 hours work (in your case you must have been due over 12K) I was not and told em to do one. In all honesty - I would rather get nothing than fill their pockets with my actual money. A bit of research (not hard) I found that the original building society had been bought out by the Halifax I went on the Halifax site and they had a section that just deals with PPI. I had long lost the paying in book - no online banking in those days and no idea what the account number was. All I could supply was my name and the address of the property. They had to physically go through old paperwork (from the old society) but they found it and I was paid a decent lump (with no 30% taken of) 6 months after I had been paid out, I received another cheque for £122.30 and a letter explaining that I had left £14 in an account and it had accrued interest. :) MY advice - do your own digging before letting the leeches have a go. They have no more resources than you do.

Think I have been here for almost the 20 too. Been banned a couple of times so a different name these days. (Got threat of violence from an old admin - so I wound him up and he banned me lol - came back under a different name, told him who I really was - banned me again haha) When software and 'stuff was hard to get hold of - Jamers could usually come up trumps

If i remember right it was linked very closely to another site that is no longer around and i found Jamers via that other website and as they say the rest is history. All1

Same as jasram. Not been here for a while but wanted to wish everyone happy 20th Birthday

Not yet but i'm off to a place next week called Clerkenwell Screws and these are the people a few model railway and model racing car shops have told me to try they do all those micro kind of screws, so hopefully next week will give a result. All1
