Ok, its my turn to have problems on the boats for sail section! Can pick it up fine at work, but can't on my home PC. Any ideas out there - I only ask cause I want to put a boat on there!!

Your anti-virus software has an anti-advert setting which is hiding the link as it contains the word "advert". Click the setting to "trust this site" or whatever, and it ought to appear.

Millennium Falcon unfortunately - I have to accept that I am going to have to skip another season because of the knees, and it seems a waste having a boat like her sitting in the garage unused.

I'd rather have a virus than Norton.

Re Virus's if you have a sensible ISN like BT Internet or NTL (Broadband of course!) then you really do not need any system killing viral protection at all. WE gave them up a few years back at work and we've never had a problem. Nor have I at home!
Re the knees I got two new ones just a month back and they've changed my life. Go for it. Mr Vickers or the fair Sarah (Was George!)are the two experts kept the Queem Mum on the road for 30 years beyong sell by date.

Very unwise to rely on your ISP to filter out viruses, particularly if you spend a lot of time on the internet. If you don't have any virus software you may be blissfully unaware your computer is infected. You should also make sure you have a good spyware remover / filter such as Spybot or Adaware. You can also download a free virus package at Grisoft which works very well.

Good old Mr Vickers.  I have the pleasure of being taught by him from time to time.  Are you intimating you're 30yrs past sell by, or merely aiming for that?
