My lease is due to finish soon on my Ford Fiesta ST3. Its been a great car and fun to drive. Thinking about going up to a Focus ST. I would love an RS but the waiting times are long and the lease costs out of my range. Is the Focus ST any good

I have a strange problem with an android MX3 TV box. I have a nice Sony TV in a spare room and use a cheap TV down stairs which has an MX3 box hooked up to it via HDMI for sportmania etc.. This works well and have had no problems. I decided to swap the TV's around. Now every 5mins on the dot the Sony TV turns its self off and on again. Only happens with the android box. Any ideas what this could be. Not to bothered as I have swapped the TV's over again but would love to know what is causing this.

If you are already living here and paid tax and NI all your life and say need expensive cancer care but it is being refused on the grounds of expense you are not going to be happy that the funds are going to be put aside for the migrants. In the end of the day its dog eat dog whether we like it or not. Its about time the West said to the Arab states, its your mess and you deal with it. I know many we say we created this mess but we cant keep continuing to clear up the middle east. East and West will never get on to much difference with ideologies -
cant get the up and coming games to show on the screen, what channel is it the game on tonight on sportmania

I see Levy has offered West Brom £15m for Berahino with Albion valuing him at £25m. The way the market is at the moment the Spuds offer is insulting, really hate that man

Got mine from ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KODI-XBMC-Quad-Core-Android-4-4-TV-Box-MXQ-Kitkat-New-Fully-Loaded-Free-Sports-/171854834604?hash=item280358abac Everything was already set up but had to add on sportmania, so far I would recommend it. If it continues to work as well as it has so far I may well get rid of sky and bt sports, if need be I will just buy another box for the other room.

i purchased a MXQ box, hard wired in although wireless was working ok, added the sportmania add on and paid for 6 months all working well tonight. Could not of done the install without the video but got there in the end. These android boxes are amazing

Is there anywhere you can purchase an mx3 in southampton

Been told by people itk its the current crop of sixteen year olds that's exiting the coaching staff, it will be a while before they are ready but the club expect many of them to make it to Saints 1st team and be very successful

We had an architect who just loved changing things, the data base is only for proving what something should cost when we are discussing costs with the client and contractors. Architechs just love spending other peoples money
-
Agree, i was the M&E QS for the client on St Pancras, contract was £14m, we ended up doing a final account deal with the PC for £21m

Thats still a massive cock up. Before any project goes ahead we have to do due diligence and feasibility costings. At each stage the costs are firmed up including a pre tender estimate. Its expected that this cost should be in the middle cost of the tender returns, inflation, labour and material costs are inc for jobs that are likely to run over a number of years. The company i work for runs a massive data base for costs for all sorts of projects so its not difficult to project. Funding is based on the predicted build cost so to be £2m out is very poor to say the least. Also it would be normal to have a risk register and a contingency of say 10%, this should have a significant sum of cash attached to for overruns etc so whats happened to that
-
The info given by the council and reported in the Echo that the new Arts centre is about £2m over budget due to labour increases is a complete lie. As a QS i deal with contracts everyday. Once a build cost is agreed and contracts signed off the cost is fixed. You cant go back and say half way through the job the cost of labour has gone up so i want more money, that's ********. Obviously what's happened is that the council did not have a clue what they wanted or have very poorly tendered the project and have left so many holes in the contract that the contractor has them over a barrel and the contract administrator has has issued so many instructions or change orders then the cost has risen. Once again a government/locally funded project is over budget. Dont worry its not their money so they don't care and no one will loose their jobs. If i make a massive mistake like this i would be down the rd
