i do love chirstmas but anyone that has lights on their house before december should be dragged outside and shot!

dragons were epic, crowd was mental, edwards signed new contract aswell!

happy chappy!

our 18 month old girl doesnt eat much, we have finally got her down to 2 bottles of milk each day, one before midday nap and one before bed.

she drinks LOADS of water and its getting to the point were getting worried something may be wrong with her?

we have ogt into the sin of putting the TV on to make her eat, i know we’ll regret this.

my uncle used to make me eat all theusnday sunday lunch, piles of cabbage. one eventful day i forced so much down i got up from the table and hurled across the kitchen.

if i ever went to hell the following would be on a constant loop!

tazmin archer – sleeping satellite
k d lang – constant craving
scorpions – winds of change

and my experience of it is that it led to problems, not solved them.

how long did you try them for, one run, two runs?

i feel your pain, started running 6 months ago and it was tough.

best advice buy the most expensive pair of running trainers you can find, get them fitted in a ‘proper shop’.

made the world of difference, my pair of asics has transformed the running, where to a point im actually enjoying it!

(i hadnt read any of the above – but still stand by my view)

F*** ME!! 😯

I SALUTE YOU!

one day, one day………

ive just shot my load….

sorry just get the boxter mate, if you dont like it just sell it on again, otherwise it will alwyas be “what if”!

As a Welshman i could just luaugh and poke fun, but i actually feel sorry for him, yes he made a few mistakes but he was sort of shoehorned into the role.

as above he may very well be remembered for all the wrong reasons

they dont have indicators or bluetooth either 😉

can i jump in please….

you seems all hard core people so be gentle…

Assasins creed annoyed me as i didnt have the patience (at the time)… i reeeeeeeeeeeally want to get an RPG type game but im guessing Skyrim is similar’ish to AC?

think ive answered my own question there!?

octavia 4×4, rare but probably get highmiler

cheers mogrim, just reading up on the IF= function now, my god i should have done this years ago!!

we dont need to formally sign off, which in essence is the problem because it would get checked!!

thanks everyone again, great help!

cheers all, bikebouy ive finally got my head round it and have it so the cell stays red until you manually mess with cell D27.

Good shout though about the cell with warning message, i’ll give that a crack.

cheers everyone

cheers,

that would be great and i dont know why it wasnt set up when th eguru (whoever that was) deisgne dit years ago.

i wouldnt even know where to begin, excel for dummies maybe!

here is a screen grab of the sheet, hope you can see it.

The yellow cell V10 shows the percentage based on the second sheet behind, this needs to be 5% OR above..

If it is lower than 5% you have to manually increase the green cell D27 which is linked to V10 and it increases.

mogrim..

its all in house costing, we use the pricing excel sheet and then put the costing into a word doc, PDF then send to the client.

jaysus thanks for all the replies..

i understand what you are saying but no idea how to implement it!

the simplest solution i think is what has been said above, to colour the cell you need to change if the cell with the percentage in has not hit 5% or above.

You might also be able to do it with conditional formatting applied to change the background colour for the entire file if any of those cells are less than 5% – not exactly a warning pre-save but it would highlight the issue while you’re working and wouldn’t need you to get into macros/VBA.

how do i do that?

there is only one ‘athlete’ that has dominated so much…..

Dragons, may do ok if our world cup heroes perform, but the rest of the team need to shape up.

bloody rain last week, and bloody rain now!

i need a new game can somebody tell me in laymans terms what its like, what its similar too etc.

i fancy a different game…

cheers

sky engineer, bloke round our way makes a mint by doing ‘jobs on the side’

I got the wife strictly come dancing tickets in feb!

christmas day i will be god as she will not see that one coming!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

cheers.

oopps, PC, infact im worried my 6 year old dell laptop will blow up when i try to sor the dvd out.

make sure you set up the profiles on there so he cant get internet access etc, ‘i think’ there is a way to do this. my mates son ‘found’ some interesting websites one night when they thought he was happily playing a LEGO game!!!!!

I hate them, last year they put a form up in the kitchen and nobody signed up for it.

in the words of my old manager

“just cos i work with the f*ckers dont me i have to socialise with em!”

Mleh.

We did loads of co-sleeping at 0-6 months. Now (19 months) she gets a bedtime story or two read to her on our bed and we bring her through to our bed in the morning when we don’t really want to get up straight away.

She is perfectly happy in her own bed. Goes down as soon as you lay her in it and sleeps 8 till 6:30 every night.

maybe i wasnt clear enough, what you say was as we did… what i meant was friends of ours had theirs in the bed from birth up to 2 years old!! (ALL NIGHT/EVERYNIGHT), now he’s 7 it still causes them serious grief as he wont stay in his own bed.

WELL DONE!

My advice….. just my 5p worth im sure loads will disagree!

1 – start saving about 6 months ago.

2 – earplugs

3 – dont read any books or sh*t on the web, it will make you and your wife paranoid, ignorance is bliss, ffs how did they deal with babies years ago, alot less fuss, its all marketing b*llox. anti natal classes are utter bollox IMO, we didnt even bother this was again through friends who had wasted money.

4 – It will split the camp but don’t be afraid to use ‘controlled crying’ as the they call it these days. That is if your baby cries dont just jump in and see to them, leave it a few minutes. this will pay off bigtime in the end.

5 – Do not EVER, have the baby in your bed this is the biggest copout in the world and you will pay for it for years to come. I’ve seen so many friends take the easy route now they have 5,6,7 year olds who wont sleep in their own beds.

6 – Build a vietcong bamboo trap outside your house to stop the hordes of well wishers who cant help themselves and turn up 20 minutes after you have come home from the hospital.

7 – You will become a second class citizen in your own home and all the women in your life, wife, mother, mother in laws will ignore you.

8 – Dont be sucked in by all the advertising, it is all geared to make you spend money. yes the lovley fancy pram looks good at £500 (quinny a good example) but the one thats £200 will do a much better job, you get the idea!

9 – get loads of stuff of ebay, you’d be amazed the near perfect harldy used items you can get

10 – Get a simply baby monitor, non of the fancy camera ones or even worse the one with a presusre pad, it will drive you up the wall, again marketing b*llox!!

our 17month old is totally mad, she has pushed us to the edge mentally and physically but we wouldnt change a thing!

it has been tough but the family support network has been amazing to be fair.

good luck again

avast is great

Following on from the motorways thread and stories of people *almost* being involved, what is your closest dice with death?

Mine…

Dad book a holiday to Corfu (our first ever holiday abroad) but mum couldn’t get the time off work so he cancelled it and booked on the *same flight* a week later.

The flight.. British Airtours Flight 28M

thats messed up!! fate eh! did you see the ‘seconds from disaster’type programme good few years back about it, horrific!

starting to learn snowboarding at a small family run ski centre near christchurch in NZ.

got cocky after about 4 weeks and got the lift to the top of the mountain, took a wrong turn in a blizzard and ended up at the top of a black run ‘big mama’

crap photo that doesnt do it justice..

anyway i was stood at the top, couldnt sit down due to the slope, started to get really cold, way out of my comofrt and skill level.

i stupidly thought i could ride it out about a mile to where the slope levelled out a bit, i gingerly leaned over the lip and headed straight down, gatheinrg speed what felt like 100mph, clipped the front edge face planted and flipped over about 10 times.

next thing i know is the local ski patrol guy shouting at me, my mouth full of snow, minus snowboard.

never been near a ski slope since, scared the hell out of me.

cheers all…. think its turning in her favour 🙁

thats what i thought, we may aswell just get a secondhand hd box of ebay.

cheers all, again…..

ones been ordered :O

very sad for all concerned, shout out to the emergency staff, must be fekin horrific turning up to see that even if it is your job :O

i’ll never forget years ago, only been driving a few years, went to london to see a gig and was driving back to wales, came up the slip road onto the motorway and hit a thick wall of fog just after pulling onto the motorway itself! i sh*t myself and instinct told me to keep moving, after about 15 long seconds it cleared… i still think back was that the correct procedure?

should i have pulled over to the hard shoulder?

what would have you done?

f*ck all the above, bloody rain in Newport friday night!!!

gutted! had a quick chat with mr roberts and mr brew though, think they were a bit p*ssed off aswell!

“Wales’ James Hook kicked a long-range drop goal and two conversions as he starred on his fly-half debut for Perpignan at Toulouse. “

amazing what a change of shirt can do eh!

cheers all, and thanks for the link.

The iPad is a highly desirable piece of kit but it’s a fundamentally insecure device, if he already has a laptop, why spend more on something that has less abilities, as it’s built to be an electronic entertainment device (toy), not a business tool.

Just saying, I doubt you’ll be able to change his mind though.

i agree 100% but we had the HSE guy come in and he was showing our boss all the fancy stuff and he was taken in!

Cheers all…

A ‘workaround’ is to set Outlook to leave messages on the server for say 30 days and then make sure that the iPad picks up messages at least once in those 30 days.

its set to leave on the server as he has a fekin blackberry aswell… i did mention to him buy two and i can take the one home and do some ‘R&D and he just stared at me!

For me it’s going to a petrol station and finding people queing, often for 5-10 mins, just so they can use a pump the same side as their fuel cap, despite the fact the opposite pump is free.

Why not just pull the hose round the back of the car????

this is one of the biggest for me, i love the psycology of it WHY dont people do it?

1 – Fear of it not reaching?

2 – Lazyness?

3 – Stupidity?

what do they think when they see somebody filling up on the opposite side? “look at that idiot>”

it honestly baffles me?!!

my second are people who take ages at cashpoints! further to this, people who have 3 cards, then put each one in to see how much they have on each one, then put them back in again to take cash out. they really should have lasers that come out and cut people head off if they take longer than 15 seconds.

third, people who wait behind parked cars and let oncoming cars through WHEN YOU COULD DRIVE A F*CKING BUSS THROUGH!!!!!! but when they do pull out, the pull out so far into the other lane the oncoming cars have to swerve!!
