I find Toyota garages to be cheaper than the independents for me, plus they include a courtesy car whilst it’s being done, wash it afterwards and the price they pay for parts like replacement bulbs and wipers is way cheaper than anything I could buy.
We booked the smallest car possible from Enterprise.
Asked if we’d like to upgrade for a fee – No
Asked if we’d like to hire a SatNav for a fee – No
Got given a car two classes above the one we had paid for with built in Sat Nav because they didn’t have anything else anyway!
Does seem a bit of waste given how much it cost to get them trained to that level given that if they’d used their phone / ipad / home connection it would all be perfectly ok.
Anyone accessing porn on a works computer has got to be monumentally stupid. I think there should be a requirement for judges not to be stupid. As such I think their sacking was entirely appropriate.
That it’s not possible to have conventional doorframes around most of our internal doors as the doorways are as far into the corners of rooms as possible.
Emphasised further by the two main bedrooms having a 20cm long ‘alley’ into the rooms, which also results in rooms where you need to do 10 corners when fitting coving or skirting board
I spent the past 12 months with a Prius as a second car. I loved in through town where you really notice the mpg difference and in stop start traffic on the motorway (althought that’s probably mostly because it’s an auto). Nowhere near as nice to drive as my other car though – also a Toyota. Although I never tired of watching whether the engine was charging the battery, or charging the wheels or the battery was transferring power to the wheels etc. :-)
When you think that’s a 12 year old car, I’m surprised that the technology doesn’t seemed to have moved on all that much.
My left eye perceives colour differently to my right eye so I’m fairly confident colour perception would also vary between people. No problem picking out the green square that was a different shade in that article either.
We were there in Jan/Feb time I think. One route we did was not really singletrack but good fun none the less, the other had some fairly technical sections, not a tourist route at all. It’s the only ride where I’ve wanted some uphills to get a rest from the downhill :-)
There were flights from Heathrow via Frankfurt and CDG, which is why I checked from Manchester as I figured we might be able to go Manchester – Frankfurt – Seattle instead of LHR – Frankfurt – Seattle, instead I found the flights ended up being Manchester – LHR – Seattle
Really like your cushions, I would love something similar. Is this really as easy as you made it sound? and is the software free or expensive?
QGIS is opensource. It’s something I use in my working life, but it’s fairly easy to use. Although if you haven’t ever used GIS software it might not be quite as straightforward as I made out :-)
Designated life guard on canoe trips down the Cortois* in Missouri. I was there mainly as a box ticking exercise and to transport the cool box, the guiding was handled by someone else.
We’ve got an ideal boiler, it was put in just before we bought. We’ve had it repaired under warranty once (so when less than 2 years old). We’ll be replacing it shortly (now 4 years old) as the one we’ve got isn’t really up to running a shower from.
When we flew out of East Midlands a couple of years ago it was cheaper to pay for a hotel with parking than parking alone. It was one of the ‘ mystery hotel’ deals but seeing as it was listed as being on airport and there is only one on airport hotel at ema it wasn’t much of a mystery.
Of course, that doesn’t include viewing (available at an extra cost) but I’m much happier handling that myself anyway.
I don’t know how much it varies around the country but where we live estate agents only appear to be involved in viewings if the owner’s are dead. Every occupied house we looked round only involved being shown round by the owner.
As much as I agree that estate agents do little to earn their money I also think that a house at the right price will get viewings on the basis of a right move ad alone.
Wollaton Hall was Wayne Manor in the Dark Knight Rises.
I was in Santa Cruz with a load of people who had never seen The Lost Boys, they didn’t understand my insistence that we had go to the Boardwalk and then look behind the welcome signs!
Many people are under the impression that organic = no pesticides rather than only pesticides from an approved list so wouldn’t surprise me if people have other misconceptions.
Generally, for a lot of female specific stuff, whether it’s shoes or bikes, there’s more variation between different manufacturers than between the men’s and women’s versions from the same manufacturer.
