    They have some evil managers there just now, think industrial action will be coming very soon

    Don't know the bloke, but he seems alright
    Sure that's not his real accent though, daresay he really has a middle class one which wouldn't be judged as cool

    Mr Woss has definitely made a big effort with not sounding those R's, he went to my school and I was mates with his brother
    Can't recall that accent being so pronounced then otherwise he would have had the piss took out of him even more relentlessly

    My daughter has just applied for an Enhanced CRB for her Optometry degree course and no reductions for students
    Think there is for voluntary workers, but don't suppose that applies in your case

    Pentax K20D is a very nice camera with some excellent lenses available

    The Samsung GX20 is almost identical and often available a bit cheaper

    Tyger, my sleep time varies, but quite often get woken by the Cluster Headache during the night
    Suppose my average would be about 6.5 hours on a good night

    Cheers

    Sumitriptan is very good, but in tablet form takes a while to work. A nasal spray version is also available which acts a lot quicker.
    Only side effects I get are tiredness and for some reason a stiff neck

    I do sympathise, I suffer from Acute Cluster Headaches which are not migraines, but are extremely painful so know how debilitating headaches can be

    As mentioned best to get a scrip otherwise its very pricy and not even sure you can buy the spray over the counter

    Cluster headaches are an entirely different matter and hard to get diagnosed unless the GP is familiar with them
    Drooping eye,congested nose,pain in jaw/teeth and side of face followed by what can only be described as a red hot thing stuck in your eye and into your brain. During this time you are unable to sit or lie down and become very agitated doing such irrational things such as keep drinking water or brushing of teeth, who knows why?
    Treatments include strong drugs that are used to treat epilepsy,manic depression and heart murmur, all of which have nasty side effects

    Worst comment you can hear is I know how you feel, I get Migraines 🙂

    An earlier poster who said he had "Cluster Migraines" might be a bit confused between the two and the symptoms sounded more like Migraine than CH. Can't actually tell when an attack is coming apart from what is known as the shadows which is a weird lesser headache

    Good luck and give the Imigran a go

    Got a stone tumbler sitting in a cupboard upstairs with all the bits and bobs.
    Kid had it for her birthday a few years back and only ever did two lots

    Came from somewhere near Cromer, but can't remember exactly here

    No I mean when you say two slices of ham please they always slip three in and you don't realise until you get home

    Tesco have just announced they are going to open their 15th shop in and around Cambridge

    Lots of opposition to the last one and it has been refused an alcohol licence
    Also faces fines for its lorries delivering, narrowing the road and posing a danger for cyclists

    Personally hate big supermarkets, can't stand the feeling that i'm being ripped off everytime I go shopping and need to be on my guard at every turn

    For instance their noble promise that if you catch them not honouring their deals you get a refund plus the goods
    Yeah, great so they pay out to the first customer who catches them and rip all the previous ones off

    Don't even get me started on the fire glow bulb above the Tomatoes so they look ripe or the extra slice of meat they always slip in on the deli and that I know is policy

    Quite a lot of people at beer festivals buy halves to taste as many ales as they can
    So I reckon about 5 or 6 pints per person would be about right

    Graham Gooch
    David Beckham
    Steve Harris/Paul Diannio, so gave the world Iron Maiden

    Is Argus really 1972, can remember buying it like it was yesterday
    Throw Down The Sword has some of the best guitar playing ever

    Just realised that Rainbow's "Rising" must have been 70's too, still play that one regularly

    My two favourite albums of all time

    Most summer nights at dusk and try to watch them at every opportunity, been making enquiries on how to photograph them.

    Common opinion is pre focus on a likely spot and then use an infra red trigger to fire the flash
    Not convinced and sure they fly far too erratically for any AF to lock on them

    The lone Pentaxian will now preach to the disbelievers

    The K-m is the entry level DSLR, very compact and can get a good deal on it with one or two lenses.
    The very recently discontinued K200D is also fairly small and weather sealed too, great for biking pics

    Best thing for you would be all the old K mount lenses that you can use albeit with manual focus.Then even further back are the M42 type that can also be utilised with a 20 quid adapter
    Pentax also make some great primes, old and new which are not too silly priced, one of my favourites is the older 50mm A f/1.7 a great lens for about 50 quid s/hand

    Check out Samsung cameras as well, just rebadged Pentax and usually a bit cheaper.
    Saw someone offering the GX10 very cheap the other day, best do a spot of googling

    Seriously though, they are nice solid cameras, but alas no live view or video unless you want to get the new K7 for about a grand (yes please Santa)

    I like the gun toting lady, very attractive

    The original female head of Torchwood in Dr Who was nice too

    Not so keen on the Welsh girl though

    Don’t waste your money,you will only end up buying another one that is more stable with a much better head
    Been there and wish I had splashed out in the first place

    A company called Redsnapper seem to be very popular on one photo forum and are relatively reasonable I believe

    I use an old Manfrotto 055CB, bit weighty, but has lasted for a good long time.

    The old saying pick two light,strong or cheap applies in this case too

    So by that reasoning everyone who stayed living at home with as you put it Mummy and Daddy are lily livered failures. When I was a kid nobody went off for a three year holiday, out to work and that usually meant living at home
    Obviously my schoolmate the multi millionaire really blew it along with all the other reasonably successful people I know.

    Perhaps you weren’t actually wanted and ma and pa were glad to see the back of you.
    Everyone is different so how can you make such a sweeping statement, just as easy to say you were not ready to enter the adult world.

    We went to the introductory talk together and then left the kid go off to the talks about the courses she was interested in and went for a cuppa. I did attend the Maths lecture at one, but dropped off i’m ashamed to say
    Met up later and went to look at the accomodation together and generally discuss things
    Worth going to at least one of the talks about the finance side of things

    Found some of the open days were very well organised and others not so good. Best was LSE, got coffee there and worst was Surrey,trying to find the courses on a board someone was holding up
    Bath and York were nice days out although the former had awful traffic congestion and took an hour from the M4

    Bit annoying that when the youngsters get an offer you are invited back again, so if they are only interested in three or four might just as well wait and then go the ones they get the offers for before they decide their final selection order

    How about another A470? 50 quid in Argos and if she is happy with it why not.
    No new controls to suss out and any case she already has will fit

    Their Parmesan is about half the Waitrose price, never bought anything else though.

    Not a very pleasant shoping experience and the staff are very surly, no doubt due to low wages

    Not keen either on the way their car park is policed by very dodgy looking warden type people, think they are looking to make money at any opportunity legit or not.

    The reason you have the first point (NTE5) is so you can isloate your internal wiring. Take off the faceplate and plug in so you are connected direct to the external feed.

    If it still doesn’t ring on any phone you try its a fault away from the premises and needs reporting
    Obviously if it does work its down to you and can either try and rewire or pay someone else to sort out.
