    Weekend

    All online yes. Everything delivered and a few pennies to wrap. I'm all golden!
  2. And social support is the sole reason for this then? There are numerous other factors that tie into this.

    Glare if the road is wet is a nightmare though.
  4. Yes. If you don't you have to stay another 6 years until 9 years service have passed.
  5. You don't pay full food and rent, perhaps previously you had to. I left end of 2007 after 3 years in the RAF Regiment.

    Front and back. Have your back one on and your more than likely to get annihilated.

    Appealed, I'm not paying because an Officer decided he wasn't getting enough at home and decided the public should be ousted for it. Still waiting to hear back from them.
  8. Nope, still 24 hours a day, irregardless of location, you just lose deployment benefits, hazard benefits, and various other benefits. The hourly rate is well below national minimum, but as a result of it being the MOD, and being paid 24 hours a day even on weekends, this equates to a normal wage.

    Fog Lights

    Indeed, the officer was a complete idiot, just went straight on his rampage, he could have told me to keep them off when not needed, even though I explained the situation, patchy fog, extreme rain, and trailing spray off every vehicle in front of me. He said, he didn't care and that I should slow down, and keep more than 100 yards away from anything in front of me to stop spray, and my fogs should be off as he deemed the fog as slight. I have appealed, and complained about his conduct, in regards to utter illogical thought, comments and his berating attitude on the subject. Only problem, is I live in Bruton, Somerset and was fined in Rode in Wiltshire on the way to parents at 9:45pm. Which in turn implies that I now have to drive to Swindon to hear my case. Hopefully they just quash the whole thing, as its going to be a waste of everyones time. 110 mile round-trip.
  10. Well it may be a bit low, but the Navy, Army and RAF all have tiered Ranks that increase the pay scale. The higher your rank the more you earn. That £1200 was more than likely a lower ranking member of the forces. Lets not forget their pay is topped up as well. They get paid 24 hours a day, even when sleeping your paid, 365 days a year. They get danger pay as well for the situation they're in. I remember bringing home around £1400 a month after tax/ni/food/accommodation as an SAC, on deployment.
  11. Accommodation is not free, you pay a very subsidised amount for this. Food as well, circa £15 a week for food and around £7 a week for accommodation. From experience.

    Same here, and was doing the exact same the other night, only to get pulled over, breathalysed, car checked over and than fined £70 for fog-light misuse
  13. No food and no housing. Perhaps the hand-out model is the wrong. Sure use social support to support those that at all costs can't and policy that with utter militancy, otherwise, let everyone struggle for the rest. Americans get no where near as much support as the British do, and the same with many other countries. I was born and grew up in South Africa, and we get no such thing, the only support policies are in place to support those that really cant. No free medical care, no handouts. And that's my opinion, if yours is different, than albeit. I've lived in both America and South Africa, and know the differences between worlds, and some work better than others. Forcing people to work, might even fill the low-end jobs only foreign workers are getting, and when asked why only foreign workers are getting them: Because they don't moan about the job, and just get on and do it, if the same applied and you had to work, they'd work.
  14. What non-existent laws. I know many a person pissing around wasting our tax/ni money, and when they are caught. They just cry or do other imaginable things and get away with it. Sure laws are in place, but they aren't that effective and policy the subject in matter is another long story that indeed costs even more money.
  15. Those that can't or those that wont.
  16. I'd be more inclined to scream than pay on that scale. I can work overtime and I do, I no longer work in education, there is plenty of overtime available around 30 hours a week should I need it. I shouldn't have to pay excessive amounts because I actually want to work hard and earn my money the hard way. Not to throw in all those hours and get heavily penalized on it.

    A few thoughts on the matter; Diabolical Irony Profit Pot Kettle Black
  18. Billions, absolute billions. And if we did pull out, that money wouldn't be spent on cutting the deficit, more than likely increased budgets and more than likely increase MOD budgets.
  19. Touch my money and die. That's the end of that argument. And as far as I'm aware the whole issue was revoked earlier this morning, or later last night. Pre Budget wasn't final, more a feeler to see how angry the interweb would get if he suggested it. And as previous said earlier, limiting national debt can be done other ways. I know we have national commitments abroad, with wars and support and the likes, but this can be reduced. Not to mention the yearly national debt to commonwealth citizens, where every government gets 12p per person. This includes all commonwealth citizens; South Africa with a population of 48,687,000 = £5,842,440 a year to support, issue's like these need to be addressed, they wanted independence, they can now have it. 2005 estimate shows Commonwealth population around: 1,921,974,000 which in turn = £230,636,880 a year. Which compared to Cookie_Monsters showing on MOD expenses being in Iraq and Afghanistan comes in just under £2billion. Hell of a cost.
  20. You, sir, are an absolute godsend.
  21. Seem to be waffling around the internet trying to find a half-assed way of accessing a 2000 machine from the core Windows XP network. I know 2000 didn't have this function, however are there any other means to getting it enabled or alternatively another product to access the machine seamlessly. I mean no dialogs or prompts to login and the likes. Anyone have any suggestions?
  22. South would be good, wouldn't mind popping down, or Birmingham if not, closer than London at least.
  23. How is London South? What about Wiltshire, Somerset, Cornwall and the rest of the counties far out there.
  24. Nah you're post was spot on, you showed a method how it can be done, obviously its upto the person taking the advice to be sensible about it. No need to explain, everyone's got opinions, just leave it at that, its what I do at least
  25. PrevX are at least 7 years old, they've had various applications on the market, and I've used them for various reasons of the users, never had a reason to distrust them. They had a system manager that would control every hook, call and application made and ask for authority to continue, this was invaluable when determining what a program actually did and what it referenced, many people still use it to this day.
