Masters in mathematics; stand out in the crowd - Is it the tank top and trousers that don't quite cover your socks? :lol: :lol: :lol: I disagree wholeheartedly. The point is that while you may be cabin crew you have the option to be doing something else. Whereas if you start out being cabin...

I think what most people believe when they begin to study at undergrad level is that the course they are pursuing will form their career. As LD and others have stated they are no longer following that path but they are still employed at degree level salaries. The title of degree implies a level...

Hi all, I know this may be dead and buried by now but there is this http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=38343&C=Newsletter&U=08P11-2&T=12779530 on the Maplin site at the moment and it is dirt cheap. Hope it's of some use. Cheers, Tim

Trouble with that answer is that if you apply it to a heater it tells you that a 100w heater uses 2.4kw/hrs per day - which is blatantly untrue (unless you keep your tank in a fridge :? ) So unless you're looking at worst case it would be difficult to form an accurate answer. :D Incidentally...

Hi Aaron, Your electricity supplier will quote a price per unit of electricity which take the form of price per kilowatt hour. This means the cost of running a 1 kilowatt appliance for one hour e.g. a 2kilowatt fire would consume two units of electricity in one hour (2 x 1kw/hr) - if your...

If you dream about public liability insurance I recommend a long, long holiday - somewhere warm and possibly padded. :lol: I should imagine with water, electricity and heavy weights you are looking at quite a hefty bill with public liability. But, I believe it will be worth every penny for...

I think this is exactly what the artist is trying to do - create debate. I don't think anyone on the forum is trying to say that the "idea" of this is informed and acceptable. I can't comment on others but my comments were made with tongue firmly in cheek. The idea is well formed though...

Oh rats!! I've just bought two on eBay. :(

I like the fact that we are arguing the exact date when summer finishes. I know the answer to this - Aug 2006. :lol: :lol: :lol: Stay where you are SuperColey1 - it's grim in the UK :(

Nice one SteveUK some nice shots. :D I like the shots of Vyrnwy - flat calm, like a millpond - that doesn't happen all the time. Hope the weather hasn't put you off Wales. I think it would have been the same result all over the UK. :wink:

Somewhere in the distance the sound of a banjo being tuned. :lol:

You're just up the road from me. Quick warning - don't go into Welshpool for a drink - full of banjo players. :lol: Not really - it's not too bad. Nice garden centre there though - Coed-Y-Dinas. Father-in law works there and they have a small fish section, but it's worth "grockling" around and...

Oh rats! youtube blocked in work @*$£ :(

I take it you mean China "Town" aaronnorth. You won't find any londoners "up west" - far too mean. :lol: Too busy at home polishing their sense of self-importance. :lol:

Saw this....http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7584321.stm It just so happens that I now live in the happiest place in Britain. :? But yesterday there was a survey saying that there is a worryingly high incidence of obesity. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7584191.stm By my reckoning that...

Well, it seems that everyone else is either very careful or lying. :lol: I could probably fill a book with my (bad) experiences. Here's another. :oops: To anyone who has ever done any domestic electrics on more than one house it quickly becomes apparent that each electrician has different...

I can see where you are coming from and would proffer the explanantion that the whole freecycle thing is fairly new in my area, based over a larger geographical area (low population density) and is a real solution to the 50 mile round trip to the municipal dump. Quite frankly I don't care where...

I'm with bugs on this - the freecycle route is the way to go, and it is gathering momentum. Remember you can always choose who the item is going to and if they seem disingenuous when they turn up you can always make up some excuse about not wanting to let the item go. You can usually tell the...

The British olympic equestrian team are in Hong Kong and they've got stuff all to do at the mo'. Tell them you'll buy them a Pimms and they'll be round there like a shot. (sorry - bolshie left wing politics showing again!!) :wink:

Been "raddled" once or twice on eBay. Only way I ever got anything back was by getting onto my credit card company. Don't know about paypal but generally ebay are S**TE at getting you either the item or your money back. They have made a lot of changes recently so this may no longer be the case -...

Once again words of wisdom from a master of blagging - great stuff! :D Anyway, refreshed after a bat free night I have been moving stuff out of the dining room in preparation for work to begin. My quest now is wisdom in relation to fitted tank or standalone tank and stand. I am in favour of...

Brilliant blagging there. The dining room it is. The problem now is I have a 2ft tank but there will be a 5 1/2 ft platform. Do I get another 2ft or 3ft tank , or do I get a 5 footer? I've just spent this afternoon repairing a bit of ceiling inside a built-in wardrobe because bats keep...

Well people, I am now nearing the end of my last nighshift before a two week break. I am staying at home, Wife and Sproglet are off to Disney Paris leaving myself and spotty teenage son at home. We have freezer full of pizza and chips. Slabs of beer will be purchased (drink in moderation - it...

Somewhat boringly I'm an Electronics Test Engineer? Permanent nightshift with internet access though (which is nice) and explains why some of my posting times are bizarely early in the morning :twisted: Also do loads of building work having been in the construction industry previously and...
