    Spie, please don't outsource anything to india...

    I wasn't really complaining, but when it got to comment he made about only having screens measured in inches I decided it was so funny it was worth sharing.

    Spie, please don't outsource anything to india...

    Not that you would, but seriously: (I'd like to add that until he made a random comment about not being able to give me a discount I was making a serious enquiry, then I decided to wind him up a little) *11:00:50*** *System* You are now being connected to an agent. Thank you for using Dell...

    Spec me a laptop :)

    Hi, I seem to remember that the ACER laptop that I had 5 or 6 years ago the battery would last about 6 hours. On my Sony Vaio that I have atm the battery life is quite poor, maybe 2 hours even with all the power saving stuff switched on. I am guessing this is becase the Core2Duo CPU is...

    Hayfever sufferers - pollen filters

    Wasn't sure that we were allowed to talk about drug names on here? But yeah I take Fexofenadine or Levocetirizine and both are great, pretty much no side-effects at all.

    Hayfever sufferers - pollen filters

    TBH the only solution is to go to your GP and ask advice on antihistamines. The OTC ones that claim to be 'non-drowsy' are generally telling fibs. 3rd generation ones don't cross the blood-brain barrier at all and so are massively more effective and don't interfere with your brain - which is...

    Graduation ceremonies

    Not really. I've done an extra year due to switching course and so most of my friends graduated last summer. My friends this year are mostly people I know through the ski club who were younger and only about half of them are graduating, none of them who are graduating are going to graduate on...

    Graduation ceremonies

    Well I think my mother was quite keen to go to it, my father muttered something about it being a 'significant point' to look back on but I don't feel university has been that significant for me. When/if I graduate from Dartmouth - that I'll be proud of. They can come and cheer at that. (EDIT>...

    Graduation ceremonies

    I don't really know why I feel like this, but I honestly can't be bothered to go to my graduation. I can't be bothered to trek all the way back to Scotland. Most of my friends are graduating on a different day anyway. Did anyone else graduate 'in absentia'?

    Just ordered a Sonim XP 3

    It's meant to be virtually unbreakable, perfect for an active lifestyle! Neither salt water nor snow should be problematic for this one: I'll let you know if it is any good once it comes. Should be here Wednesday I think.

    Headunit with ipod connection at the FRONT

    Are there any headunits that have a USB port at the front that supports ipod and will charge the ipod? I found this, http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=KDPDR61 but it looks more like the ipod lead goes around the back and the USB port is just for flash drives. Sam

    Are itrips better in the US?

    I know that they were illegal over here for a while. I could be imagining this, but I swear that every itrip I've heard that has either been in America or has been brought into the UK by one of my American friends has sounded much better than the UK supplied ones. Are the UK ones required...

    What a stupid idea:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7994449.stm Mobile phones - kind of fair enough. But fining people for playing with the radio? Or as she says in the video 'with hands in their hair'. That woman also annoys me. She's obese and her accent makes my ears twitch.

    What happens if you fail a fitness test at basic training?

    Are you going in as a rating or an officer? For an officer in the navy you have to the BPFA when you go through AIB, and I'd assume that if you didn't meet the time it would count against your selection as an officer. The fact is though that unless you have a medical condition not being able...

    RED DWARF

    Yeah that was awful. I remember watching an extended 'unedited' episode of 'Tikka to Ride' that I got from somewhere and that didn't have a laughter track and without it the material just wasn't funny at all. I've since paid lots of attention to shows with/without laughter. Peep Show and...

    q's about ford focus mk 2 2006

    I have an 07 Zetec climate and find the ride fine. The sports suspension will do the opposite to what you suggested there - it makes it slightly less smooth but there is less bodyroll. How much are you paying with what kind of mileage out of interest?

    Removal of bumper...how hard can it be?

    Make VW fix it for free. It's either a design defect or they didn't fix it right the first time.
