  1. Seriously, do you do any work? You are paid by the taxpayer, yet always posting on here??
  2. On the contrary, most eCommerce companies DO like the insistance from Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera that you need to upgrade. That's why in the stats graph we see all those browsers as one block with IE6, 7, 8 and 9 as separate bloody lines as numpties haven't upgraded and Microsoft haven't "insisted"
  3. Stats show IE9 is the most used (already), followed by FF (all), Chrome, IE8, Safari, Opera and then IE7 and IE6 (!!). At work, I use a Macbook Air with Safari and Chrome (Chrome is my fav) and I also run a Microsoft VM to run legacy web-based apps in IE and have IE9, Chrome, Firefox and Opera on there. Chrome is easily the best browser for every day use. Firefox the best for developers where you can add in Firebug etc., for easy debugging.
  4. Exactly - I think those of us commenting are mid-30s upwards. Turkish and I are both mid-30s, VFTT similar and I would assume others who have commented are older than 30-odd as well. The Weekend Offender stuff isn't for me, but I can understand why a 16/17 year old might want to wear it. The fact you can buy it in USC isn't a good thing either - the whole idea behind "good clobber" is the opposite to standard high street really! I mean at the moment, I love Pretty Green stuff and bought a bit from their store this weekend, however, I can see that if the brand grows huge, they open many more stores, it starts getting everywhere, that the appeal would die off - for me anyway!
  5. I quite like some of the Norse Projects stuff, never ordered any - what is their fit like? Always hard to tell on a brand you've never worn. Agree also; I've never liked that Weekend Offender stuff, even just for the name!! Bought these at the weekend - http://www.size.co.uk/product/adidas-originals-sl-72/78159/?cm_vc=Product1 - loving their re-issues at the moment.
  6. Stopped in the new UK Blauer store in Beak Street last week - not impressed, all comes over a bit, naff, being based on US Police/Fireman wear.
  7. Surprised you haven't been! Definitely get over there. It does my head in for longer than 4 or 5 days (like London), but worth going over, do the tourist stuff, do some bus tours, bit of shopping (although it isn't THAT cheap in my opinion), enjoy some good bars and places to eat etc. If you're booking a Flight + Hotel together, Expedia will be one of the cheapest to build your own package with some good savings for booking the two together. And yes, don't forget your ESTA.
  8. Allow me to quantify ... it is hilariously written, it's like it's been written by a jumped-up, very self-righteous uni student heading for a third class degree at some **** poor ex-Poly.
  9. That is hilarious!
  10. Sod off and live in France, Rebecca.
  11. Ah well ... I was going to say that "self-righteous pr*cks" start with a 'T' .........
  12. Surprised by Guthrie! Would have thought he would have a part to play! However, happy to be corrected the "experts" ... you know who you are, self-righteous pr*cks.
  13. I've just got some of those as well - look brilliant!
  14. What do you DO on a phone to drain the battery so much?? My iPhone lasts for 3 days without charge, that includes phonecalls and browsing the internet while sat on the train. One tip I got (form Essruu actually) was to turn location services off - that seems to work!
  15. Not one knows for sure except a few people within Apple. Apple is a very secretive place and believe or not, a lot of people who work for Apple don't even know - I have a friend in a senior position who doesn't know and even if he did, he wouldn't tell me - it's not the "Apple way" to blab. It's like MI5 in there - odd, but very interesting working environment!
  16. Well, you're not far off!
  17. Some mug Cardiff college kid with too much time on his hands has been f**king up Wikipedia; (cur | prev) 11:57, 24 May 2012‎ Alex j bluebird (talk | contribs)‎ . . (19,932 bytes) (+103)‎ . . (→‎Early life) (undo)
  18. Nothing like this should ever be illegal, but, 24 weeks is far too long in the pregnancy cycle and any normal, compos mentis person will know after 8 weeks, or even 12 weeks - 24 weeks is obscenely late to make the call! I can not believe there are people out there who go "actually, I don't want this baby now" two thirds of the way in to their pregnancy!!? Mind you, judging by the state of a lot of people I see, I am getting more and more appalled by the general public in this country, so I can see people like that, sadly.
  19. Actually, forgot I like Hackett shirts too, have a few of them too.
  20. Mainly Paul Smith shirts for me - fit great, always good styles and look good. I have some Thomas Pink shirts too and some Boss shirts. I tend not to deviate away from these three, but Paul Smith is my shirt of choice; http://www.paulsmith.co.uk/shop/paul-smith-shirts-380/category.html?BshowAll=true&filter=true&gclid=CI-W1OryjrACFYt-fAodn2Ojqg
  21. Why don't people do their own research?? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480025/locations It's not difficult to find: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=this+is+england+filming+locations+imdb
  22. Thanks everyone - seems like you all want rid of me ... no seriously, I appreciate everything you're saying and I do think that if I didn't do it, I'd always wonder what it was like later on in life. Having spoken more to my boss today, it would be a lengthy process anyway, so I have plenty of time to think and so on. @VFTT - Washington State (well, the cities) are much more liberal than most of parts of the US and in fact, it really has a very different feel to other places I've been to, even Boston. Plus, Vancouver is only a couple of hours drive away! @Jill - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_based_in_Seattle - Energy is not my bag, but Seattle area has a wealth of hi-tech companies and Redmond is the home of Microsoft @Turkish & Charming Man - you both make valid points, but a) you'll have to put up with me running off at midnight a while longer and b) my fashion sense will remain intact But thanks to the people to have emigrated for your opinions, exactly what I wanted to read!!
  23. Thanks - and I agree! I honestly think I've had enough, I love my country but I'm increasingly disillusioned with many many things and I think I may as well make the move if I can, while I can!
