twin--turbo

Yep that's nearly 10K over three years excluding the deposit! Over the past 9 years I have spent a total ( including purchase, cost of swapping, maintenance, etc ) of £10,300 on cars. That's my cars & my wifes cars total 88,976 Miles. Rob

What does the NDR say? Any Hub transport rules? Rob

We do, but may be reducing that estate and replacing with fixed teaching PC's.

As for financing things generaly. If there is a 0% option on anything - I Take it as long as the overall cost is not more. I keep the money in my bank which effectivly earns me 4% . Rob

Went through too much pain with a HighPresure Direct Injection Diesel to ever want to contemplatte one ever again. Make up most of the big repair work for my m8's garage. May have to swap my current car dues to possibly going from 4K Miles PA to 24K Miles PA.... I will get a MK4 1.9TD Golf or Passat Sub £1K ... Rob

Love a good Wankle, but I would probably go for the Skyline out of them two.... I quite like the old AE86 but they fetch silly monye for what they are, love the new GT86 but i will have to wait 12 years to get one in my price range.

I had a C230, cost me £200. Did 1500 miles and sold it for £600. and the 09 plate is now only worth about £12K

If I am doing figures I would not buy any new car, and very unlikly a one that's 2.5K more than it's petrol equiv and likly to depreciate that value very fast.

Ahwww... I was so rootuing for him planting it back on the deck and carrying on. Rob

we use DPM. Our backup goes across town to our sister site. but we could talk to the other two schools that are litteraly our neighbour and nextdoor but one neigbour.

Thats for the petrol, add 2.5K to the price for the diesel

Another DrayTek TT

Students have basic 365 via our VLE. We host our own Exchange for staff.

No Problem. Does remind me that I need to shut down our 365 as it's no longer the official student e-mail service. Rob

I have only had 4 Routers in 10+ Years. Dabs Value Connexant - Which I got of a m8 , it was fine and solid ( no wifi ) for 6+ years. Replaced that with a vastly over spec Cisco 1841 with ADSL Wic ( no wifi ) The a Cisco 877W Again vastly over spec wich actualy caused an issue for using upnp So replaced that with A DrayTek 2830N. Which can't be faulted as it's still over spec for home use. Rob

Sold my old bone shaker last month to make space and cash. Bought it in 1988ish for £115, sold it last month for £75 It was well used! I looked at cycle breakdown insurance but did not bother. Rob

~£5500 deposit and ~£200 a month for 5 years No thanks... Rob

this is the way you want to do it. Add your domain to Office 365 but continue to manage your domain's DNS records - Office 365 for professionals and small businesses

There should be a domain verification process which will give you a "txt record" to add to your 123Reg DNS host, it's 2-3 years since I looked at it but it was fairly straight forwad. This is there so that microsoft can verify you are the correct DNS administrator for your domain. Rob

following you real MX. ms33288892.msv1.invalid.outlook.com has no a-record. I guess the "invalid" means something. ms22083793.msv1.invalid doesn't look right for an MX record. - Domains in Office 365 - Office 365 - Microsoft Office 365 Community Rob

Have you got the school domain name in 365 There used to be "Accepted Domains" but I think the later fudged it so that you have to add a DNS entry on their365 DNS control pannell . Microsoft want you to use their DNS full stop but it's not necessary Rob

so the mrwu domains are just bogus? as neither has an mx or ns Rob
