Ooo sounds interesting!

Congratulations! Have fun deciding what of the weird wedding traditions you will do, and which you will ignore because they are too weird!

I got mine OTA last night too. I just wrote a wee post about it on G+ - https://plus.google.com/u/0/+AnneMarieCurran/posts/asUDVsJcPSu You can silent your phone by choosing "None" or "Priority" when pressing the volume button. But None truly does mean none and Priority means pretty much alarms and anything else you allow (like stared contacts etc) Anything else has to be refreshed once you turn off priority before you get notifications (apparently, I've not tested yet). It is very nice looking, but I'm not completely sold on it yet.

A pot of fresh cress from Asda, it cost a whole 7p. We bought it to see what my parrot would make of it. She stared at it for a while, then stalked over to it, tentatively licked it, then started throwing it around her cage in apparent delight. Well worth 7p

Here is a little game for all android owners to play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.miniclip.plagueinc It is rather addictive! As for Ebola, keep washing your hands is the key. It is a relatively weak virus when outside the body. It has to penetrate your body through an opening for it to become deadly.

Generally Team Rock Radio or Absolute Classic Rock. Or I just listen to my own via Google Play Music. :-)

OOo nice bike! I tried to have a go on one of them at the bike show at the NEC last year, but as I could only get my toes on the ground the instructor didn't feel comfortable teaching me :-( I am however going to be getting a little Honda MSX125 sometime soonish, which I can reach the ground on! As my partner has a bike I've already got most of the kit, and I can certainly vouch for textiles being a great option. I like my leathers, but they do get rather warm, and are not the most comfortable things to wear. And they are also pretty cold on chilly days too. I got all my stuff of ebay, at a fraction of the new prices and it is all like new. If you are going to be riding in the dark/wet/misty days then definitely get from hi-viz stuff. I got a hi-viz Hein Gericke textile jacket from eBay for the grand sum of £30. Alternatively, a hi-viz building vest works too, but they do flap around.

Make sure you know exactly where the meat is from, how fresh it is, and how it has been stored/prepared. Generally speaking, no blue steaks from chain restaurants or supermarket meat imo. Personally I like mine medium-rare or medium according to that guide. Pink in the middle, but not oozing all over the place is how I ask for it :-)

Oh @Dos_Box, my last flat mate had boxes of old vinyls. There were some Iron Maiden ones in there. He would probably be interested in selling them if you want them?

One of these - Honda MSX in white please (I will have one eventually, might be feb/march time though...)

Ask for an image of the signature and the exact time of delivery. Make sure that no-one on site has signed for it using your name, and forgotten to give you it. When the signature turns out to be illegible, and you can prove you were not there at the time, ask them exactly where it was signed for, ask for a building description etc, who the person that signed for it looked like. Just keep pestering them with specific questions and it will eventually turn up in a van somewhere. Also contact Ebuyer to tell them of this. Don't complain to them, but just say you are making them aware of the lax delivery company and you would like a choice in future.

If they do bill you for it, don't worry. Send them a contact us thing and they will refund you the money if you have not used it. They are normally quite quick about it too. Personally I like it. I tend to do a lot of shopping on amazon for things that I could buy in town, but at a much higher price. Next day delivery with DPD makes it all the better.

17 so far...

Most places if they want an ITIL person for 1st/2nd/3rd line the most they will ask for is ITIL Foundation Certification Personally I have done the course but not the exam (job at the time wouldn't pay for the exam...) and it is mostly common sense in my opinion. Some things they do to prompt good customer service actually hinder it, so from my experience companies tend to pick and choose what bits of ITIL they want to use. Which is completely against the framework. It is meant to be all or nothing. If you are looking for a job in IT support not in a school, then is it very good to have on your CV. It is pretty much impossible to implement in a school environment however.

I really hope you have budgeted for food. £150 doesn't get you a lot these days! But good on you for moving out. It is a great sense of freedom having your own place, but it can be expensive. Good Luck!

I used it for a bit on my old phone about a years and a half ago but got bored with it to be honest. Thinking now though, combining Tasker with Trigger and NFC tags might give way to lots of nice little settings and things. :-)

You should be ok with a long wheel based transit. I think they moved Lutons into the HGV category as they are apparently more difficult to drive because they overhang (or something think that). I've been enquiring about hiring vans recently and been told that is the biggest van I can legally drive with only a car licence.

Echoing the wheel bearing being the issue. It starts off as sounding like one wasp in a tin can, leave it for a hundred miles and it will sound like a whole hive buzzing around and trying to get out... And just a side note, using two different brands of tyre on the same axle will most likely put your wheel alignment off, since they will wear at different speeds and their treads are probably different (as well as their grippyness and performance)

Glad you all enjoyed time in my home city. I have yet to find anywhere quite like it, and the games seemed to amplify it even more.

Renting is all depended on local demand. If you live in a heavily student area, private rent through agencies tend to be high. Try putting an add on gumtree/local paper/ etc, stating that you are a full time, working professional and you may get better offers. Alternatively, house sharing can work out great. My advice would be to have a live in landlord if you go this route, as then things get fixed quickly if they go wrong.

DPD stand out for me too. There tracking is far better than any of the other delivery companies. UKMail also send out a text with an hours delivery window, but as far as I can remember (last 4 packages with them over the past 2 years) they have always failed to deliver during that hours window. Love that Amazon use DPD for their Prime deliveries, as such, I use them a lot

I am pretty much ambidextrous. I can do everything with my left hand that I can do with my right, except writing. So I have put down right handed on that basis.

Great story lines is what I normally go for in games. But then I do prefer RPGs to FPS. Dragon Age, Assassins Creed 2 and 3 and The Walking Dead are some recent ones that I have loved. FF7 is my all time favourite though :-)

Works on my Nexus 4 and my partners Nexus 5 with no issues at all. Using Nova launcher on my N4 it will rotate the home screen to landscape as well.

If the leasing company is taking them back, then surely all you would have to do is to box the pcs up at most? It is their job to collect them and load them as they see fit. Consult your contract with them.
