    Moving into People Management

    I take your points but don't think it has to be this way. Sure, you have to lead by example, but the best workers would be doing that whether they are managing or admins. Also, I can't see a need to distance yourself just because you're a manager. When you are hard at work trying to sort an...

    Significant Increase in Salary – What to do?

    Thanks for all the comments guys. To clear a few things up: It wouldn't be a brand new car, purely for the reason of losing circa half the money immediately. I've gone from 23 to 50. As mentioned, pennies to what I've seen people on here earn, but significant for myself. We have around 10k...

    Significant Increase in Salary – What to do?

    Hi All, I’ve been lucky enough to land a job which has more than doubled my current salary. We have our own home (mortgaged) and have no intention of moving anytime in the near future. My partner also works, we are by no means well off but have a nice home, OK cars, and slightly more disposable...

    Matched betting - who's done it and who's good at it? (No Referrals)

    Thanks guys, and particularly Royal Fleet for your explanation. The each way perhaps sounds a bit over my head! Think I’ll just stick to normal free bets if there is enough of them about and the acca insurance bets. Thanks!

    Matched betting - who's done it and who's good at it? (No Referrals)

    Thanks! Understood, will give this a go later. Would you mind explaining the each way bets? As from what I read these are the way to go if looking for daily easy bets?

    Matched betting - who's done it and who's good at it? (No Referrals)

    Thanks. When you say first race, do you mean first race of any given event? So is this offer available multiple times daily? Sorry for ignorance. I do understand matched betting, I made a decent amount through sign ups its just an ongoing offers that are profitable but not majorly time...

    Matched betting - who's done it and who's good at it? (No Referrals)

    Do you mind me asking which offers you are using at these? And are they daily/regular?

    Quote Comparison Similar to GoCompare etc?

    Thanks for your suggestion. I had experimented with and 90% there but fell over when the price may change because of X input from the user. The best example I could give is car insurance price may change depending on the users age. Custom fields works fine when the price never changes and you...

    Matched betting - who's done it and who's good at it? (No Referrals)

    Quick questions for the regulars – the daily/weekly reloads that are offered by bookies (Skybet: Bet 25, get 5. Coral: Bet £25 get £10 (£5 in store, £5 online). Paddy: Bet 5x£10, get £10. (mentioned by @Diddums in another thread) do you actually do these? I did MB a few years ago and made good...

    Quote Comparison Similar to GoCompare etc?

    Understood, however my dataset that I want to compare doesn't yet exist. It's a new idea. So either way, I would still need a system ready made (due to limit of my coding skills) that can accept data manually entered or gathered from an API or other source.

    Quote Comparison Similar to GoCompare etc?

    Thanks for your reply, however this site won’t be comparing insurance. These insurance sites were just examples, the data will be new, it doesn’t exist elsewhere yet. What I was asking for is if anyone was aware of a system that exists that can allow me to input the data and has the...

    Quote Comparison Similar to GoCompare etc?

    I fear the TV advert that would produce! But the principle is the same. Unless I have the wrong understanding of Web Scraping, which is more than possible, that is a method of 'getting' data, not so much a system for building functionality?

    Quote Comparison Similar to GoCompare etc?

    Looking for people’s advice please. Is anyone aware of a piece of web software/plugin for any of the main CMS’s that would be able to deliver instant quote comparisons in the same way as GoCompare etc? I can do a bit of coding but nothing on this scale. Ideally looking for something pre-built...

    Human v Chimp fight

    I think it’s fair to say that anyone who thinks a man (be it an MMA Athlete, Worlds Strongest Man or any other type you care to mention) could cause any more than a momentary annoyance to a chimpanzee deserves to be put in a locked cage with said chimp.

    Possible upgrade to AMD Phenom II XT 1090t

    Hi All, Could someone who is much more knowledgeable than me advise of any possible upgrade to my CPU please. I currently have an AMD Phenom II XT 1090t (I know AMD, but money….). I’ve had this for at least 8 years. I only use my PC for iRacing and a bit of web design so don’t need anything...

    Looking for some interview advice please

    Thanks. Problem is I just don’t! The best thing I can think of is buying/moving house. When it came to renovating, there was aspects of organinsgin whose doing what, loosely project managing contractors making sure they have done their bit before the next etc. My worry is that sounds a bit like...

    Looking for some interview advice please

    Thanks for replying. I hadn't considered they may give a scenario so that's certainly one to think about! Thanks

    Looking for some interview advice please

    Hi Everyone, Looking for some advice please. I’m currently in what is pretty much an admin based role with little to no overall responsibility and no direct reports. I’ve applied for a supervisor level role in the same company although in a very different area and environment and been fortunate...

    Horse poop

    No one has suggested the animal is the one that should get punished here. It's the ignorant owner/rider.
