Thanks for all the help. Will give this one on Ebay a try, trying to give myself the best chance of getting my deposit back when I move out!

Thanks for the reply. They're definitely not painted. I'm not sure how to describe it, probably more like a plastic 'layer' over the chipboard. I found some on Ebay, £65 for a 50x72cm door seems a heck of a lot. I should have taken more care!

Sort of - the building was converted from offices into flats around 5 years ago. It wasn't one of the big national developers though.

Slightly unusual request, but I'm hoping someone can identify the name of these kitchen cupboard doors. They are definitely Howdens (their label is inside the cupboard). I think they're similar to 'Shaker' but I'm not 100%. I've gone through the current Howdens brochure, these would have fitted...

There's a thread running on Pprune, where some posters suggest there was CB/thunderstorm activity in the area at the time. Recovering from an upset could have led to structural failure (snapped the tail off or similar) which caused the high rate of descent...

If you're stressed you're doing it wrong! :p Pressured is how I'd describe it. Good money awaits if you can get through the training process. I'm in my second year of being fully valid now and I'll reach the high-70s after 5 years. Potential for £100k+ if I worked for NATS.

Sorry if this has been suggested already, haven't read all 95 pages - but you could become an air traffic controller. Several ways to get into it, I self-sponsored my training but I believe NATS are recruiting currently which minimise financial outlay on your part.

That's what puts me off going skiing there!! A Skyscanner search with Gatwick -> Anywhere is a great idea and may well be what I end up doing :D

Thanks for all the replies, given me loads of ideas for future trips!

Sure do.

Haha! Dating one but we aren't at the 'going away together' stage yet :p

Planning to book some time off work during September. Thinking of taking myself away for 3 or 4 days for a city break but looking for inspiration where to go. I like the idea of going to Edinburgh, but is there enough to do (on my own) for several days? May just do a search on Skyscanner for...

I must admit I've ordered a few different things recently and groaned when I saw Yodel were the courier. But, I have been pleasantly surprised. The website tracking shows the number of deliveries before mine, the driver was cheerful, my parcels were intact. Quite satisfactory really.

Looks nice snowdog, what size engine does it have?

Fairly sure I read somewhere that sticker means the BIOS has been updated already. No harm in checking with the retailer though. My boot kit is scheduled for delivery on Monday. Pleasantly surprised at how quick the process is.

I think I will keep mine for a long time. It's enough bike to have fun on, but not ridiculously quick. Great looks. And the big one for me as a brand new rider - a complete and utter bargain to insure!

My request for a boot kit has been approved. As I'm going to have to take my CPU out of the socket to use the one they send, will I need to buy more thermal paste? As I'll have to take the cooler off to release the CPU.

It's in incredible condition for the age. Mostly standard too, except for the hugger and an MTC can. This is great as I wanted a bike I could tinker with and do little customisations. I've since added a Zero Gravity tinted screen and LED indicators. Paid £2400 last November.

Been away from the forums for a few years, getting involved again now. Did a Direct Access course and bought this beauty last year, 2007 SV650S with 12,000 miles :)

Ah, I hadn't thought about that! I'm fairly new to riding, this being my first ever bike. I think both tyres are Dunlop, can't recall any more detail than that though.
