Continuing the theme of big numbers, UPS has almost 100,000 vehicles. 400,000 staff, delivers 15 million parcels per day, & operates in 175 countries. Unless you are Alex or Stato, I doubt you could even NAME 175 countries. With so many vehicles, detail is important. In 2004 UPS announced that it would save fuel (in the USA) by minimizing left turns. Because drivers are idle at intersections while waiting to make left turns, UPS developed software that routes the day's packages with preference to right turns.Thery never sell their used vehicles, either, they maintain them scrupulously, run them for 25 years, & then insist they are scrapped. You cannot buy an ex-UPS van. The Brand is all brown, "Pullman Brown", and their vehicles have iconic status the world over. Love it, absolutely love it. I feel vindicated by this. I tell my wife every day that the best way to get somewhere here is by minimising the number of left turns but she won't have it. You have made my day, I can't wait to point this out when she gets back from church. Now I only have to deal with the churchgoing....... Mythbusters tried this as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppCz4f1L9iU

You could try going into program files/pokerstars /snd and try to find the file which is the sound and replace it with something else (or an empty file)
Dunno if it is there tho
No need to do that,in sound options they let you enter a new wav sound for a lot of the actions. It just means finding a wav file you like. Edit: but of course it does not include the deal sound

Is it just me who wants to know what question Graham C is too polite to ask?
He is too polite to ask if the cd is a ripped off copy or with the serials a genuine disc.

I've paused after 10 seconds and I'm guessing Triumph Dolomite. Pressing play again now... Excellent video, Triumph Spitfire i would say. Looking again, I think Spitfire is the most likely. I went for Dolomite because most of them had that twin choke Webber carburettor. 2 single SU carburetors .

Was reading a book last night, it was Business stuff, but it quoted this expression, which really struck a chord. It sounds almost Biblical.
The exalted will be humbled, & the humble will be exalted
It is biblical, Mathew 23:12
