    Looking for some cheap accommodation in Brussels

    The youth hostel in Brussels is one of the nicest I've stayed in. We got a twin room there which was nice and spacious, and had a huge terrace with sliding doors. It's not that far from the centre (we managed to walk it, although it is a little far. Regular buses nearby if you're feeling lazy!)...

    Claiming off the council for damage?

    Local councils spend more on paying compensation claims than actually repairing roads these days...

    Irrational hatreds

    Omg I thought that was only me. Some ppl just really annoy me for no reason. As they haven't done anything I can't bring myself to be nasty to them, they just make my skin crawl... Only ever happened with maybe 4 ppl in my entire life :confused: And yes, I am a girl... :o

    Flying to Australia?

    Try Expedia and Opodo for flight deals, they're usually cheaper than the airlines direct. As for airlines, the only one I know a lot about (having worked for them) is Emirates who do flights via Dubai first, then either Singapore or Bangkok. Also some flights go direct from Dubai with no...

    weight restrictions on baggage help needed

    Airlines do vary, but generally to the USA you get to take 2 pieces of luggage, each weighing no more than 32kg. Yes that's a lot, but it's the norm. I guess Americans take a lot of junk with them when they travel...

    Freezing orange juice

    These cartons are usually ok to keep for months at room temperature, as long as you don't open them. Only the ones from the chiller cabinet need using up quick. Having said that a GIANT orange lolly does sound good.....

    DELETED_5350

    Resume and CV are used pretty much synonymously, don't worry too much about that. By the sounds of it they're after a CV and covering letter, the letter saying why you want the job, what you're looking for career/job-wise and what you can offer, and the CV showing what you've done in terms...

    Where to go for winter sun?

    Go to Dubai! I was there in January a couple of years ago and it was well warm enough to go to the beach. Started to get a little chilly at 5pm ish, but still fine for sitting outside etc.

    Project Management Career advice

    I work in recruitment and deal with lots of this kind of thing. In this sort of job experience really is the most important factor in getting a job. I'd suggest you take whatever they're willing to pay you (and even if they're not do it anyway) and make the most of it. Try to use/display...

    Where is hot in late November?

    Dubai! November is a pretty low travel period so might be able to get a good deal. Temperatures likely to be mid-late 20s during the day I think :cool:

    How to get an upgrade?

    As someone's already mentioned, most airlines only upgrade people if the economy's overbooked but there are free seats in business or first. This does happen, although rest assured you won't be the only one asking for an upgrade, and I will guarantee that the check-in staff will be sick to death...

    UK Holiday Suggestions

    Me and my other half went camping for a weekend in Brighton this time last year and I'd highly recommend it. There's a campsite just inside Brighton with a bus nearby into the centre. It's not cheap for camping but a lot less than a B&B, and the site is clean and well maintained. Brighton is a...
