    Not as long as you are lit up like a christmas tree for the blind returning from the pub.

    Quick Twitter search revealed an interesting one

    The new Minister for Civil Society, who co-founded the campaign group Women2Win, initiated a private message conversation on a social networking site and as part of a series of exchanges sent a graphic picture exposing himself while wearing a pair of paisley pyjamas

    OK, so I took the scheme. I didn’t need to, but the ‘fee’ is cheaper than the additional mortgage cost by a margin.

    Your friends will have had to have the affordability approved by their lender based on having to pay the fee in 5yrs time. So they might just be being nice to you saying they’ll cross it when they get there – in honesty, they’ve got no problem affording the £150/m unless they lied on their mortgage app. The rules are a lot tougher these days.

    I took the scheme up, didn’t need to and only mortgaged about 1/2 the house because of it. Luckily I seem to have avoided a new build estate where you live on top of each other in ticky tack boxes. My mortgage is sub 25% of my take home, but it’s all relative I guess… I can afford to remortgage the 20% if that’s what I want to do when the time comes YMMV, but you’d be mental to go into it treating it as jam tomorrow for a valuation increase.

    rogerthecat – thanks for that link! I’ve spent the last 13yrs trying to tell my wife it’s probably a bit like turning the colour down on your TV

    I’m Red/Green/Blue, which makes clothing choices and toilet door selection the most exciting options….. And not careering through red lights on junctions like some people think.

    That or an electric screwdriver to swap/fit in two minutes

    Picked mine up a few weeks back off ebay for £60, so don’t pay loads for 2nd hand!

    Where are you staying?

    We found it good to come in & go back to the Davy Crocket Ranch so my daughter could have a swim / chill out, and then go back later if we wanted

    Also found a good, cheap pizza place so we didn’t get bummed by the on site catering.

    At 3.5 he won’t get to go on too many of the rides, but the train was cool all the way round. Are you going for a full week? We were done for after 2.5 days

    This is the ‘unrollable’ step in ETD – but there’s a chicken line just to the left that is there

    It’s not 2 foot, but not 4 either (but probably close from take off to landing if you’re going at a pace)

    Just re-ran the video I took from the top, and the two gap jumps at the top – have chicken lines (the first looks rollable anyway)

    Not doing them isn’t missing anything from the trail, it just means you’ll get to the bottom in one piece if you’re not in the mood for them

    Good spot, just ordered two at that price.

    Forks are half price too – which I used to offer a really cheeky price on some on eBay earlier for a 29er Fat Front conversion

    I can’t add anything to the list, but you’ll have an awesome time. 4yrs ago we went for a month and did 1 week NI, 2 in SI, 1 in NI (my sister, uncle, aunt, cousin all live in Auckland)

    We wished we’d spent the month in SI, it was ace – I really enjoyed Queentowns (Fergburgers)

    Sadly, now we have a sprog we just go to NI to see my sister now (but I’ll be in Auckland when you’re out there, probably seeing this thread updated with awesome photo’s!)

    Don’t forget to go to the bridge and look at idiots like I was

    I think theres more to play out on this…

    Drive 7-up to southern spain, to sell a house (not an overnight task), with a poorly son.

    Then presumably drive 2800km to the Czech Republic with the poorly son, 7-up to get the treatment.

    I get the parent bit, but they seem to be logical and considered on the youtube video – but as a plan this seems flawed.

    We ran Y Wal to Whites and back – I think we underestimated the level of effort required to climb for an hour or so each way.

    Monster fry up breakfast at the Cafe and then started the climb back up to the top.

    It was quite a hard ride for us southern wimps, but had a blast all the same – decent drive back each way and we dodged the worst of the rain

    I remember when my (now ex) Neighbour ran his bull bars down all three panels on our car.

    He denied doing it, despite the day glow yellow paint still being on this land rover’s appendage.

    So I just left it with the insurers who sorted it and gave them his registration plate, name & address.

    Granted, it was a couple of grands worth of work, vs probably a £150 smart repair.

    Can he weld already? If so, where did he learn & what did he weld? Any quals or courses?

    If he can’t weld, surely it’s an apprenticeship type affair – which is a little different than a ‘professional’ CV?

    Either way, a decent covering letter will show that he’s not a muppet and will help get him in the door if the CV is too light I’d have thought

    I won 80,000 Holiday Inn points once – enough for about 10 days hotel nights in the states (so, kinda free holiday)

    I know people that have won cars too (like brand new Honda’s etc)

    If it’s anything like any of the mandatory online training I’ve done for two multi nationals I’ve just had them on in the background while doing my work muted

    Most won’t let you pass until you’ve selected the right answer at each step anyway.
