RE: [ql-users] George Best (OT)
Yes, indeed. My Mum dated George Best for several months in Belfast (prior to him being a Man Utd player I think) - Pity, could've been my Dad if it had worked out!! There is another great story. He was in a hotel suite, the morning after winning the European cup for United. He'd spent all night in the casino, and woke up hung-over as usual and ordered breakfast from room service. The young waiter pushed the room service trolley into the room and seen the place - He had a former miss world in the bed beside him, the cup was on the dressing table filled with ice and empty champagne bottles, and a ton of cash was strewn about the floor. The waiter looked at George and said Oh, George - where did it all go wrong? ;-)) Darren. -Original Message- From: Malcolm Cadman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 April 2005 19:22 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ql-users] QStarter, QFiles In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Darren Branagh [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes It reminds me of a famous quote by George Best :- 90% of my money I spent on booze, birds and gambling - the rest I wasted.

[ql-users] Just an idea for a new Product.....
I touted this idea before in QUANTA, but got no feedback at all. I, in my guise as Q-CELT, produce CD-ROMs for the QL. I was wondering if there would be any demand (Hah!) for a DVD version - i.e. All of the CD-ROMs I produce would easily fit on one 4.7GB DVD-R. It has got cheaper to buy DVD-R's, so the overall price would be quite reasonable (a fraction of what it would cost to buy all the CD's separately - probably about the same as one CD). Anyone interested, or would I just be wasting my time? Cheers, Darren. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Funny you should ask that as I have already put all Dilwyn's (and yours) CDs in a dual layer DVD :-) It is EXTREMELY helpful, and you do not have to look everywhere as everything is under one roof. The only problem is that a good front end system is needed... (The info is just too much) Ffibys ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
