I have just finished watching the Man Utd v Liverpool match on Sky Sports... I am very pleased to say that Manchester won 2 - 0, Paul Scoles scored the 1st on his 500th appearance for the club, and Rio scored the 2nd ( A contender for goal of the month)

Running with Vista RC2
I downloaded and installed RC2 of Windows Vista two weeks ago, installed Office 2007 (Beta 2, Technical Refresh 2) and a number of other 'Must have' applications, and found that it ran rather well, and I am getting to quite like using it.
One problem, however, was that I was not happy to use it too much without any Anti Virus software installed. That was cured e when I installed Live OneCare 1.5 on a 180 day trial. This supplies AV, Spyware, backup, Tuning tools etc. and is compatible with Vista.
I am now a converted VISTA user, and have not needed to switch back to XP all week. That was until now...
1st: I recieved my BT Homehub, and found the software will not install under Vista, initially I thought it may be an IE7 thing, but it worked OK under IE7 in XP...
2nd: I have tried several times to use w.blogger v4 in Vista, and whist it runs fine, it fails to upload... hence the 20 day gap since the last posting!!
3rd: I have a web based training course to attend on Monday/Tuesday and that too will not work in Vista
So for now, it's back to XP - for a couple of days at least

2nd Round in a week!
With a few hours to spare again this morning, and the prospect of improving weather. I decided to go back to Warley Woods and give the new fairway wood a go.
The results were promising, my overall score was still not great for 9 holes (54), but it was 9 shots better than last Thursday, and it was mainly my putting that cost me - 3 and 4 putting was common place this morning. I also found three bunkers today, which obviously had an impact on the final score.
The Fairway wood is spectaular, I can hit it straight, and get about the same distance as the 3 wood. The biggest problem I had with this club was using it too oten, and overshooting the green a couple of times!!
6(4), 5(3), 7(4), 5(3), 6(3), 5(4), 8(4), 6(4), 6(4)
Total 54
