I've been watching this for a year or so, and then I tried and failed to purchase one. I've used Fedora before so it would have been nice. Gutted.

Nope, a 17-5! Lucky lucky lucky ...

With the Nexus you'll quickly get the latest versions of Android when they're released. That's a big plus for it.
-
Do the themes need a general clearing out anyway? They seem to cause more problems than anything else. I can see over 20 of them!

That's not his problem. He's done the fatty2skinny thing, now he needs to know what is normal eating so that he doesn't do the fatty2skinny2fatty thing. Having said that, if you exercise (like @chairdriver said) you can eat loads. The best thing about my eating habits is my breakfast. I have a banana, a handful of raisins and a glass (250ml) of fruit juice. That's three of my five-a-day sorted.

It's mainly because the MD just gives nice bonuses to people that she wants to stick around (I guess that's performance related). Here you go! I've been here six years, a new grad's bonus will not be the same!

Today at work I was told what my bonus is going to be. It's normally a decent bonus (around 10% of salary) but this year it's been bumped up to about 14%. Super pleased. Tomorrow I find out my pay rise - I hope that's as pleasant a surprise.

A constant dilemma

I only discovered these recently so this news is awesome to me.

"I have a sweet tooth the size of a rugby ball" would be the correct one.

It's not a backup if the stuff is only in one place!

I need an English to Starbucks translation...

They serve tea. Maybe not PG Tips, but "English Breakfast Tea" must be something like that. *Has no experience of tea or coffee.* I would go for Starbucks? Signature Hot Chocolate. Looks tasty. -
What song(s) are you really into at the moment?!

The first time I listened to Celebrity Skin I was like "Wow, this totally sounds like the pumpkins!" *Looks at inlay information* *Sees Corgan's name* Then I understood. -
This is for 7, but should be similar for 8. http://artilib.org/20041606-how-to-eliminate-the-close-all-tabs-prompt-in-internet-explorer.html

Saturday is not a working day.

It mentions some of the issues here. Sat-Navs can be better because roads are snapped to, but when you're walking around you're like a balloon! Check this too (click the play button). From 4mins to 9mins I am running pretty steadily but the current pace displayed is all over the place (anywhere from 8kph to 13kph).

Just imagine how sad Jim will be when you come to England and make all his friends like you more than they like him. That'll be heartbreak.

GPS isn't that great at top speed though. It spikes/dips like mad. Much better for average speed over a longer distance/time.

I saw Hole live at Reading 1995 (sooooo ooooold). They'd/she'd only really done good stuff up until that point, so it was mint. -
I'm out of ideas/create a fake account.

If you unsack all managers until he signs up he'll be able to set up a new side.

Yeah, the main benefit of a mortgage to me is that when I am 55 it will be all paid off, and as I get to closer to that age the mortgage will stay the same (whereas rent tends to increase over time) while my salary increases. So yeah, I want to retire at 55, and the mortgage is a part of that plan. We were all about renting before we "settled" though. Now we're committed to an area (nice job, kids in school, etc) so it makes sense to mortgage. I bought in an era where it was easier to mortgage. Nowadays you can get 95% mortgages but on a 150k house that still means saving up 7.5k - that's not easy, and you need to pay solicitors, etc. too! I grew up in a 3-bed semi and my dad was only source of income and he was a bus driver. You just won't get that anymore. House prices are too mental now.

Happy birthday!

Just say yes Dan, it's easier.
