I'm after a 42 (poss 50) plasma screen, to be linked to blu-ray (via hdmi) and just bog standard freeview. Currently have a Samsung 32 LCD 720p and was hoping to fully utilise the blu-ray quality. Like the idea of Plasma for getting better 'blacks', so i understand? thanks guys

Hi guys Just a quick one, if I buy a new tv, how important is it that I buy either 1080i or 1080p? Sorry been a bit lazy and not googled this for long. Thanks

Will knock something out for you this evening neph

I'm due to leave my post as Data Manager. They want to replace me as soon as possible. Here is a link to the school website with the job ad. Any questions feel free to contact me. Jobs at Sir John Cass School

where does one find their plam so as to rest it?

You ought to use it/see it before you accept its crap. I have been operating the Cover system in Facility for years now and I am a firm believer that it is very good and works really well. As long as your timetable is correct then you should have no problems. I wouldn't use anything else to do the job.

I'm full of paper, obviously not literally, my office is. I print 1000 timetables in September that are A5 in size but printed on A4 paper. I then use the guilotine to trim to size. As a result I have 1000 sheets of blank A5 paper that I use throughout the year for random scribbling, I mean important notes pertaining to jobs that staff would like to be done! Happy weekend everyone.

Dare I admit to owning a number of these episodes on DVD? Oh carp, now I have!

For those of you who haven't seen this website, well worth a look, good for reminiscing when childrens tv was actually good! 80s Cartoons - from Bagpuss to Thundercats, Dogtanian to Trap Door... they're all here!!

love it. good to laugh at the end of a horrible week from hell!

We do 7 years which is what it used to be officially I believe.

I've always had paid leave for an interview wherever I've been working. Guess it depends on how kind your employer is?

I wouldnt recommend quitting before having something to go to unless you have plenty of money to keep you going for a while. I havent done that extreme - I did what you were doing but Essex to Derby (150miles) and did interviews by booking holiday (didnt work in a school at the time). The employer is obliged (fairly sure this is right) to give you a day off for interview but not 2 days so your travelling will need to be in the evening/early morning. If you are fortunate like me and got the first job i interviewed for then it wont be too bad for your employer but obviously you could end up having a number of interviews, that could lead to potentially a lot of sick days on your record - something you want kept clean as possible. Is there someone at work you can have a confidential chat with and just get a second opinion from someone who actually works with you and knows the ins and outs (politics) of how your place works?

Thanks Ethan, what will really steer the decision is the ability to dock the laptop on a proper docking station, not a plug in usb job.

Hi guys Need recommendations for a new personal purchase. I need a mid-range (dual core, 2Gb RAM kind of thing) laptop (£400-500) that isnt really heavy and I need a docking station that is compatible so I can just slot it into place on my desk and be all nicely linked to my peripherals. Last time I had one was about 5 years ago and it was HP kit. It worked really well but haven't seen what is available now. Preferred manufacturers would include HP, IBM/Lenovo and Samsung. Cheers
