I would also take a 9hr direct flight (qantass) over a 16hr flight with stop over for an extra $200...but thats just me.

Yeah...dont go to London. The students have gone mental, there are strikes and rioting. I hear some students are boycotting their lectures. Nothing new there, I used to boycott my lectures everything Thursday morning. Social wednesdays were a killer.

Maybe a low cut top for the ladies will distract the sales person so they do not realise how cheap they are letting the item go for.

Yeah second mamabears comments.

Next week...new 52 inch TV...should be amusing. Whats her secret? or is it a lady thing?

My general rule is be prepared to walk away if they dont budge on the price. I always try to get money off, failing that get them to throw in some freebies.

Thanks for posting this MP. Will definately checking some of these out in Feb!

You just bragging about all your toys...ei Ippy? Do you have them all in some kind of gun rack?

I'll give you 1001 yen

The idea of a metric system has been attributed to John Wilkins, first secretary of the Royal Society of London in 1668. Several others proposed similar decimalized measurement systems in the intervening years, but it took the Napoleoni

good work. Is the guy in the back off the photo taking a piss?

When I was working as an interpreter, I had to do conversions or the conversation will stop. Pete, great news. Hotel details PM´d. I´ve got to do this Integrationkurs so I can´t stay overnight but defo next week is on! Chain? never. But american engineers using imperial is a major gripe of mine. I reference alot of american engineering books/papers

He doesnt comment how his bowels reacted. I know mine would go into over-drive if i ate all that.

Yeah, so am I technically but the UK hasn't adopted all metric across the board although they were meant to.....when people ask how tall you are do say it in cms? How fast do you drive in a car? How far is it from London to Edinburgh? These are all measures that we still use the imperial for....right? or is it just me?! Damn...you are right. Been out of t

Good work Pete!!!!!! enjoy.

I only really want to watch one program next week. Proxy or some other 3rd party software is your only real option. Try googling foxyproxy & BBC IPlayer and you will find some semi-straight forward guides. Probably alot of hassel just too see a hobbit pianist.

Respect!!

Could you label it closed, then have a 'more info' pop-up appear when the cursor runs over the text?
