    Samsung 840 v 830

    128GB 840 Pro vs 250GB 840 is the question I'm currently asking. Does the fact that my Macbook Pro only has SATA-II make a difference in that decision? Based on what I've read in this thread I would buy the standard 840. But I'm not sure what the 'real world' difference between the two will be...

    First car, need help/advice.

    UPDATE! So, after a month or two trying to find the right car, I was struggling to find Clios, Corsas, Fiestas or Focuses within my area that I liked and ticked all the boxes (low mileage, FSH, years MOT etc). Then... we got a call from my aunt who had her 02 plate Fiat Punto 1.2 for sale. She...

    Question about theatre tickets

    Hi, I'm planning to surprise my girlfriend with some tickets to The Lion King at the Lyceum for Christmas. I want to order some tickets and have them delivered - but will they arrive before Christmas? It might seem like a silly question, but when I've ordered tickets for music events and...

    Fair enough, that's still a pretty significant drop for you! What I'd give to have another £500 off that £1367 quote...

    How many hours of lessons did it take you to pass your driving test?

    Starting to feel that I got ripped off after reading some of the comments here... I did about 50 hours, and passed first time with 8 minors. I did an intensive course, so quite often had 4 hours of driving a day. Granted, my instructor said after about 20ish hours that I knew how to drive, but...

    Online insurance quotes for young drivers

    Look at the Admiral group - Admiral, Bell, Elephant and add named drivers if you can. I've had quotes as low as £1100 as a 20yo with 2 months license held and 0NCB. I've not found any companies who can match the above. Speaking of phone quotes, is it possibly to haggle/negotiate insurance...

    Almost a quarter of the votes are in for Florida and Romney has 51% to Obama's 48.2%

    US election 2012

    Sure. But there are more swing states other than Ohio that may come into play.

    US election 2012

    Stuck £10 on the winner of Ohio NOT winning presidential election at 10/1 odds for a laugh. The last time a president won the presidency without Ohio was Kennedy in 1960. I'm hoping that Romney will take Ohio, but Obama wins overall.

    Any thoughts on: RENAULT CLIO Dynamique 1.2 16V 2004 RENAULT CLIO Dynamique 1.4 16V 2004 PEUGEOT 307 1.6 Rapier 16v 2002 Saw these three in person earlier and quite like the look of them. Reasonable insurance, low mileage etc, but I don't know an awful lot about the cars themselves.

    First car, need help/advice.

    Also, how can I get insured to test drive cars? All the places I've looked at online ask for a minimum of 6 months license time, I've only had mine for two!

    First car, need help/advice.

    I've tried this, but it doesn't seem to make a difference for me. Both my parents have pretty much identical histories (15 years+ no claims), but I appreciate the suggestion. I've got the insurance low enough that I'm happy with, and then when it actually comes to buying it, I'll have one more...

    First car, need help/advice.

    How do the 2002 1.4 Fiesta's compare to the 1.25 engine? The cars seem slightly more expensive, but insurance costs are around the same. Looking at something like this, although the price is a little too steep for my tastes...

    Okay. Don't worry, I don't plan on getting a 1.3. I'll keep an eye out for Ghia/Zetecs. What's the difference between them? Okay, thanks!

    First car, need help/advice.

    Going to keep my eyes open for (ideally) a 2002 Fiesta 1.25 that is under £1k. I can insure that for around £1.2k after some fiddling around, which I'm pretty happy with! Is there much of a difference between the different models? Freestyle, Zetec, LX etc?
