London is a cesspit! No culture anymore, far too densely populated and overpriced/overvalued as a place to live. Wouldn't dream of bringing up a family in London.

What a bitter & selfish woman; people can be so stubborn. She didn't care about the charities at all, she just didn't want her daughter to get anything. Reasonable & just conclusion.

Irish people are not British, nor is Ireland part of Britain. The British Isles is an out-dated & technically false term, and is rarely used anymore. Do yourself a favour and don't use it in the company of the Irish. All you're doing is showing your ignorance, to them. This is of course...

Exactly - and I'd imagine for most competent road users, flashing the car in front is a last resort. He even said "people" implying there was more than one driver who flashed him. Classic defiant vigilante attitude also; trying to "teach" other road users a lesson when in fact they're the...

Usually it will have a following statement along the lines of "to a minimum of 3%, and a maximum of 5%". Mine did anyway.

Pull the race card out? What does that even mean? And even if it does mean something, is it actually applicable and appropriate in relation to your origin? :confused:

Thanks to all for the suggestions - but I don't think the other half would appreciate me causing more damage... :p @Mark A, maybe the table isn't veneered at all! Looking at this chip on the side, it does in fact look like chipboard with an imitation surface on top? Am I best just leaving it...

I think that's my problem - it seems to have a laminated/lacquered finish. Am I likely to make it worse in that case if I go with a light sand and varnish afterwards?

So I decided to destroy my kitchen table last night with an iron... Is there any tips or ways I can improve the appearance or repair the above? Excluding a table cloth of course!

I've been an eBay user for nearly 10 years - and pop on every 1/2 days to check my searches and follow up feedback on things I've sold. This is the first time I've ever been unable to access my eBay, so definitely not a regular occurrence for me... I guess I'm not as regular an eBay user as I...

Personally, that's what I would do also. I didn't mention upgrading from an S model as if you were to skip an iteration (generally considered most cost effective vs feature gain on iPhones), you'd get stuck with S models continuously. This way, you get yourself out of that 'loop', and you get...

The 5C is a horrible, plasticky failure and it's clear that the Galaxy S5 outsold it in many, many countries worldwide. Thanks for the unbiased info visibleman! :) Yes, I'd agree with trentlad. All you have to do is look back at previous iPhone upgrades. 4 -> 4S; not worth it. 4 -> 5; worth...

I can't remember the last time I paid listing fees. I've sold ~40 items over the last 4 months and I've paid £0.00 in listing fees.

28 working days = nonsensical. 'Working days' are in multiples of 5. 'Days' are in multiples of 7. My BS radar would go into full swing if somebody quoted 28 working days to me...

Fixed. ;) That would be a disaster. A 5.5" iPhone would be an awkward lump of a thing, I have no interest in a 2-handed phone tablet hybrid. My iPad mini serves me fine in that department. I won't buy the 4.7" if it doesn't have the fastest CPU, camera etc., so for the first time I might have...

As stated above, the 5S is lighter, but since you've confirmed it's not an S, then that is a little unusual. The 5 was 'slate', the 5S is 'space grey'. http://www.gadgetmac.com/storage/product-images/iphone_5s_gray_vs_black_slate_iphone_5.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1378848134079 Maybe...

I'll never buy a 16GB iOS device again to be honest. Excluding music - apps, app data, iOS system software and photo sizes are increasing (due to camera quality improving). TomTom Europe is 2GB alone on my iPhone. I guess it does depend on what apps you install, but it certainly wouldn't bother...

Folks, thank you all for the information. I didn't even know about the Gold Card either, which may be handy if I take trips into Central London with family/friends. I don't think I'll spend the £172 on other fares throughout the year, so the cheaper direct ticket definitely seems like the best...

Yeah, that bit's OK. The savings will offset any travel not covered by the travelcard. I guess my question should be is there anything I'm missing/overlooking? For instance, any benefits/disadvantages (bus travel maybe?) of an Oyster vs a paper ticket from SW.

I did a quick search on travelcards but didn't find anything that applies to my situation, so hoping somebody can help. I'm not familiar with London travel and I'm sure there's some travel gurus on here. I graduated recently and start a new employment later this month. I will be travelling from...
