I got a job as a waiter in a hotel when I was 16, now two years later I've been promoted to food and beverage supervisor and am quite sure that I want to stay in the hotel industry. I have my doubts sometimes, like that's all I've known in terms of jobs but yeah for now that's what I'm aiming to...

Well I went to the Richer Sounds store in Romford today, really nice shop with friendly staff. I bought the floorstanding Cambridge Audio speakers along with a Teac amplifier and iPod dock. I just set the system up and am really happy with it! The sound is brilliant. Thanks to everyone who...

I may be using the speakers for TV etc in the future but not for a while so I see your point. :) The KEF speakers look great. So do you think the amplifier above with the KEF speakers would work well together?

Okay, thanks for the advice guys. :) This is what I'm thinking of getting, would this setup work? Amplifier - http://www.richersounds.com/product/amp ... az-am1-blk Bookshelf speakers - http://www.richersounds.com/product/boo ... mb-s20-blk Floorstanding -...

Wow, thanks that's a great website! So basically, if I bought an amplifier, an iPod dock and four speakers, I could connect all the speakers to the amplifier, put them around the room and play music from my iPod? I think that's right...?

I want to buy a new hi-fi/speaker system. Basically, what I want to have is a good quality hi-fi unit and multiple speakers (like four seperate speakers around the room). I've seen this done in other people's houses etc but how is it done? I'm guessing it's pretty easy - just need it explained...

I downloaded 'Angry Birds' and true to the reviews, it's quite addictive! :lol:

When I was looking for a summer job just about all of them had gone by this time of year. I went around literally every local shop handing out CV's and applying online etc, even went to job centres but had nothing - this was right in the middle of the credit crunch though. The best way from...

I am personally really happy with the iPhone. The reason I got an iPhone over other handsets is because I was going to get an IPod Touch anyway, and when I got a call saying it was time for an upgrade it seemed the logical thing to do. The only (quite major) downside I've found so far is the...

I recently got an iPhone and am quite new to the whole iPhone thing - I'm still learning how to use it! :lol: I've currently got the Facebook, Spotify and Shazam apps but would like some suggestions on cool apps? I'm not after anythin in particular really, just any recommendations? Thanks :)

Thanks for the suggestions guys :) I've never heard of those places, are they in Spain, Garuf? I think Spain is probably the best option but am considering other places too which is why I posted here for alternative ideas. I also didn't know you could just upgrade once at the hotel, that's a...

I'm already going to Cyprus this summer with a few friends but am looking to go on a cheap holiday with the girlfriend sometime late summer, early winter or early next year. In the last few years I've been to Cyprus, Egypt and Rhodes. I would prefer some sort of hotel deal, say all inclusive...

Wow, good to see they're going up in the world! It looks like quite a tacky advert though.

I've been weaing glasses for years now, but always loose them, forget them etc and am really lazy with them. I only really wear them for reading from the board at school because they only help with long distance. At the moment I only wear them about once a week. Anyway, I'm fine with putting...

That's the thing I don't wear my glasses that often, probably not as much as I should do. The only time I wear them is at school to read off the board occasionally and that's it. That's why I think I noticed the difference so much. I also love the fact you don't have to physically wear anything...

I don't know why I fainted really, I've only ever fainted once before. I was pretty nervous about it and could just feel myself heating up and my vision went blurry and before I knew it I was waking up again. As I said, I really want to give them another go. My eye is really bloodshot at the...

I'm totally up for giving them anoter go, they're much better than glasses in my opinion but just don't like the idea of thinking they're still in/trying to get them out etc etc. I'm definately goin to try them again anyway.

I just thought I'd share this, no point to it really but it's quite stupid and funny. I'm actually visually impared but that's a whole other story. I've got glasses that I wear sometimes and have always been against contact lenses because I never liked the idea of just sticking them in my eye...

I've also heard that Firefox now uses a lot of RAM. I have no idea how to check this and don't really care to be honest, because it works and causes no problems for me. I like it. As Steve said, the plugins probably just aren't compatible with the new version. Have you tried disabling them all...

I'm really feeling Kings Of Leon recently, they're actually amazing.

th I was gonna be one of those people who had their first driving lesson on their 17th birthday - not someone who still hasn't sent off for their provisional five months later! :lol: Soon, soon... Well done anyway great stuff! :D

Wow, great stuff! That was unexpected... All the best. ;)

I posted on that forum, but not much luck... I'm thinking of maybe getting a slightly larger laptop. They're not as small, lightweight or flash as the smaller ones but more value for money. Just one more question: What's the difference between Celeron and Pendium processors? I've always had...

Cheers guys, I have to say I'm also very impressed with the Toshiba laptop that I currently have. It's still going strong (well, apart from a great big crack across the screen that you can't even notice, and dirt everywhere :lol: ) after a year and a half. Had a few minor problems when first...

No, cheers James I value your opinion and everyone elses! I'd rather people told me their experiences to help me choose the best option, especially when they're as experienced as you. I understand about what you're saying about 'lemons' but too many lemons and it's too sour. :P I'll keep...

Really? I looked at a few websites and spoke to a few people I know with Dell laptops and got quite good feedback. LIke I said, we used to have a Dell PC that was absoloute crap but since then I thought they seemed to have cleaned up their act. Thanks for letting me know anyway James, I'll...

I've decided this is the laptop I'm gonna get: http://www.euro.dell.com/uk/en/home/Lap ... &cs=ukdhs1 I'm gonna wait until next month's pay day though, and then maybe get Windows 7 on it too!

Wow, never thought of that! Cheers Dan ;)

Thanks once again Mortis, much appreciated - you definatly are the computer whiz! :) I'm going to wait a while anyway, so see what's going on at the time of purchase but chances are I'll get Windows 7. I went to PC World after work today and had a look at the netbooks. I don't know what I was...

Thanks Clark and Binky for the info, I'll check them out! Mortis, many thanks again for your helpful advice. I understand what you're saying about windows 7, and I don't necessarily need to get a new laptop too soon but am reluctant to hold off just to wait for Windows 7. After all, Vista is...

Hi Mortis, thanks for clearing that up. Since my last post I realised that the Sony was slightly overpriced for what it is. From looking at other netbooks, I've seen that literally all of them come with 1gb memory, Atom processor, 160gb hard drive, webcam, Windows XP and 10.1" screen - just...

Haha, my parents basically use their laptop as a desktop - it's never moved since they bought it! I couldn't cope with the Windows 95 style! :sick: Ah right, so if the laptop came with XP - I could just buy the £80 upgrade and upgrade the OS easily enough then? Sounds good to me! So...

Cheers Clark, I've had a Dell PC before and don't have such great stuff to say about it, but that was a few years ago now and since have heard good feedback about Dell. I've found a laptop with similar specs but £100 cheaper, slightly more ugly but cheaper nonetheless. Andy, having a laptop is...

Ah I just noticed something after reading saintly's post again. What's the difference between the processors? Like, an Intel Atom which the Sony has to say a Duo Core or whatever it's called that my current Toshiba has?

Eh, no worries. :) I just prefer Vista because that's what I've got on my Toshiba laptop now and really like the design of it. To me, it isn't much different to XP apart from the fact that I think it looks nicer. I think going back to XP would seem like a downgrade. It's like having the...

Thanks guys :) looking at it now, the advent probably is too overpriced for what it is. I think the Sony is great value but I'm just so dissapointed it comes with XP rather than Vista! Mark - I would spend a bit more on the laptop but I think every system has it's lifespan and there's no point...

I'm going to be buying a new laptop soon and can't choose which to go for! I was originally going to get a MacBook but am a couldn't go without Windows. I could just imagine myself hating it after a while, despite their sexyness. Still, works out cheaper anyway! I want something, small and...

I agree with what Ed said. I bet it doesn't hurt half as much as it would if you got the disease though, remember that. ;)

I just understood the topic title after reading this whole thread! :lol: Good one... Congratulations! :D

Another student... ;) But I work at a hotel too doing mainly waitering and stuff. Georges job looks way too exciting!

Happy birthday to George for (what is now) yesterday and John for today! :D

I knew you couldn't last long... :lol: Great to see you back!

Wow, that's a great offer! Very generous... Is this for a limited time? I'll definately sign up when my current hosting runs out.

Just an update on the idiots that I seem to attract on eBay... I relisted the item for £50. I log on to my account tonight to see that it has been bought. I then see that I have a message from the buyer saying 'do it for £45 mate and its a deal'. Erm.. no mate! The price was £50! If I...

WHAT?! I've noticed you have't been that active lately... (y'know, with me being your number one fan and everything). :lol: But seriously, I hope you don't leave. I don't want to repeat what the people above have said but you really are an invaluable member of this forum and one of the best...

Thanks a lot for the tips guys, especially the block list! That should come in handy... I remember there used to be some kind of 'report unpaid item' link and I always see 'report' buttons when browsing eBay but when you actually need to use them I can't find them!

I'm selling an old phone for my dad on eBay. Someone obviously clicked the 'buy it now' button but didn't pay. They were a new user with 0 feedback and I messaged them several times, first telling them that I had sent an invoice, then warning them that I would relist the item if they didn't...

What is plantswap? :?

Haha, yup and that means two presents then I guess! :P Thanks guys :D

I thought you was a computer whiz - can't you just get past the system? :P Shame...but that's life eh. :roll:

Happy Birthday guys! Hope you're having a good'un.

Hope you're having/had a good'un mate! ;)

Have a good'un lads. ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY :D

I spy a fish tank. 8)

I think photography is more appealing, with this being more niche. It would be a great small business though.

Oh yeah, and the Sims! :P

Web design and.. music? That's about it, I'm not very exciting to be honest!

Haha, that's pretty amazing. ;)

Nice photoshop work there Dan. :P No seriously, you're a legend!

All of my friends have been getting tattoos lately and I really want to get one! I really don't know what to get though...it needs to be super cool. And knowing me, I'll probably end up hating it anyway! :P

I suprisingly never had any embarassing tanks! I used to have small tanks with goldfish when I was younger but that's it. Although when I started out with tropicals I did have plastic plants...it didn't look that bad though! :lol: I'm probably gonna get slated for this but I kinda like the pots. :P

! I'm also one of those people who likes literally all kinds of music (within reason) and listens to everything! :P I pretty much just listen to mainsteam stuff though. My most listened track on iTunes is ''I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You" by Black Kids.

Haha, that's a classic - made me chuckle. :lol:

Sorry for the lateness, but happy birthday for yesterday!

Ah yeah, sorry if that came out a bit aggressive or whatever... :) There's so many cool names out there!

It doesn't have to be a girls name does it...Gumi is actually a nice name!

:lol: Or Takeshi? :P Congratulations! :D

Haha, yeah new account! I wish I wouldn't have changed my account now but oh well... :roll:

Good to see you back! ;) You can usually click 'mark as read' at the top right of each forum.

Good luck mate. ;)

It's quite simple to get the source code and stylesheet of a website, that's all you need.

You should contact them about it mate. ;)
