    Subway (food) Pricing

    I remember eating their Marinara at least once a week when I was young and stupid - 30 grams of HFCS in a "9 Grain Wheat bread" - I used to think it was an almost healthy meat sandwich. I think they have switched from HFCS now (due to the bad press) and it's plain old Sugar and honey in it.

    Gas Barbecue

    Have a Weber Q200 portable gas BBQ (not sure if they still make them) - have used it hundreds of times now and would be devastated if it broke or got stolen. As lomg as you change the lava rocks every year, gas is a million times better than normal BBQs. I have also converted it to take...

    Sandisk Customer service.

    You do know that Sandisk are now Western Digital. Possibly why their response time / warranty turnaround was so professional.

    Mid life crisis or no!?

    So let me get this straight. You think possibly giving up every Friday or Saturday night a month for "possibly" an extra £1000 is worth it. Going to work at say 8pm and lugging equipment home at 3/4am. Bear in mind you will be self employed and have to have the devotion to stick at it and...

    ‘Back to the Future’ ride about to be axed

    Think this tread just went back to the future. I was thinking when I read the OP - Where is the Back to the Future Ride in Universal - I only ever new Spiderman, Transformers and The Simpsons - and I went 3 times since 2008.

    Found some premium bonds from the 1980s

    I know someone that has 50,000. He wins every month (usually twice a month) He originally bought 45000 worth and setup the account to reinvest any winnings - wasn't too long before he had the 50000. Just a bit strange that he gets a couple of £25 cheques through the post every month and...

    Crystal Travel - Scam...?

    Wouldnt touch them to be honest. Had a major balls up with a similar company called Travelup (via Skyscanner) with 4 flights to New York.....and will not make that mistake again. Lost about 120 pound due to cancellation due to them quoting a price and not actually purchasing the seats after...

    3 Months Working Abroad Without My Family .....

    Thats' exactly what I thought - if you don't have serious doubts about it - or your wife - then do you really/truly have a good relationship with your wife ???? I have done similar in the past (before I was married with kids) and even though I had a ball each time..... I would not do it now...

    Tonsils should they stay or should they go.

    Just out of curiosity...do u have a cat or dog ? I had tonsilitis for 17 years...4,5 even 10 times a year. Specialist wouldnt remove them as i was so small...and i was eventually sent to a "real" specialist who actually realised what was causing it. He asked me about diet, did we live in...

    Anyone feeling cold?

    -38C in Minnesota. Dec '94 - Feb '95. Sent with work and temperature just got continually colder from when we arrived. Luckily we missed loads of days of work as we were holed up in a hotel with the roads blocked and snow ploughs not moving. I do not want to experience the temps again ...

    Airport Meet & Greet - damaged my car

    I had a friend who used them and when he returned and drove away he noticed his right indicator was flashing faster than usual. Thinking one of the bulbs had blown ...he checked it.....and found it hadnt in fact blown...it had been removed :eek:

    "Fake Duracell Industrial batteries"

    Send them to Duracell to see if thwy are genuine. Pretty sure they are fakes along with 98% of the ones on fakebay and fakazon. Same as memory cards and even Lego now. I have stopped all my friends buying lego off both sites after seeing some of the bad copies they bought on there. But its...

    This is why i dislike social media

    Couldnt agree more with you. I fail to see how people think this is normal. I have 2 cousins who I have completely changed my opinion about as they are constantly posting photos of my last living Aunt (who is basically dying in hospital and weighing less than 5 stone) Its just not right...

    House mate situation

    As was said above. How do you "know" he has cancer ? Was he getting treatment for it (Radiotherapy/Chemo) ? Are you sure it wasn't just a bowel condition (Chrons/IBS/etc) which he was playing up on. The reason I ask is I know someone who made up a shedload of lies about having cancer, to...

    Investing millions

    If you have that much you probably won't mind losing a few million on risky investments. There was a program on last night about the worlds most expensive foods (and a guy that had 20,000 or so wines (none for drinking) - he went to a wine dealer in London and bought a case of wines where...

    Man flu

    Funnily enough - every year people in the UK seem to get even more infections (be it Flu, colds or Norovirus/tummy bugs) usually starting end of Nov - Mid Jan. From what I can remember - there wasn't that many Viruses or Bacterial Infections around Christmas 15-20 years ago. And strangely...

    Do you buy less from ocuk now?

    This was exactly what I said in the original post asking for feedback on the new site. If I were a new customer after a specific piece of hardware and found OCUK via a search engine, I would probably look at the homepage and just scroll for a few seconds then go elsewhere. It just seems...

    NYC Hotels

    Ameritania at Times Square. You should get 2 nights for a little over £200 in Jan. We stayed there in August for 3 nights and it was perfect for what we needed - with two kids who loved it also. View wasn't particularly good, just skyscrapers everywhere - but it was 5 mins to Times Square...

    New Site Feedback

    Me no-likey. As above - why the brash/bold/garish colours. It's very cluttered - especially with all the page space devoted to external links. It's a shop after all, selling hardware - yet the core component subsections are the smallest areas of the screen space ? And the dimensions...

    Midlife Crisis, am I having one?...

    I'm 43 in December. This summer I started Wado-Ryu Karate again (having last done it in 1987) My wife/mates/parents all think I am bonkers. my wife said 'it's a strange way to have a mid-life crisis.... but a lot safer than a motorcycle'. My coaches think I am an Inspiration apparently -...
