  1. Hi All I've recently bought a 54 plate Fiesta 1.25 and its running fine etc. When I start up and pull off its fine. However when it's warmed up there is a high pitched sound when idling which is difficult to describe. It isn't a squealing sound like you would get with a slipping alternator drive belt nor is it a grinding sound like when a gear isn't properly engaged. I am inclined to believe it is the alternator (or some other) bearing. Is there a garage that could take a look tomorrow that won't charge me the earth?! Thanks
  2. This was the dilema i was faced with as it was meant to be a general remark but it seems i've made a boo boo. I have never done anything in the past to make her not trust me, nor have i ever had the desire to do so. Like i said i am getting married next year and it is going to be the best day of my life so far! 5 yrs i've been with my fiancee and i'm looking forward to a whole lot more.
  3. Went for lunch with a woman who works on reception in the block i work in. Was just a friendly lunch and while i do get on with the woman I am getting married next year and had no intention of doing anything but eat food. Have told my fiancee and asked if she was ok with it because if she wasn't then i wouldn't do it again. But now she's told me that she is worried because i have mentioned it and doesn't know what to say What do I do?
  4. Yes of course, and it is often overlooked due to the gangsta rap that has taken hold amongst the youth.
  5. What about human rights...we can't force them into anything...Europe says so.
  6. I think a distinction needs to be made between black culture and "gangsta" culture. There are hundreds of black people who have nothing to do with the gangsta culture just as there are hundreds of "gangstas" who are not black. Skin colour has absolutely nothing to do with this! Its a sterotype yet again. I do however, completely agree with anyone who says the gangsta culture has had a devastating effect on young people and the overall culture of the UK. It has left people living in fear to even step outside their front door. Rap music in general has had an effect because the young hear constant lyrics about drugs, violence and money so they are quick to perceive that this is a good way to go. However it is not the only thing which has caused the problem.
  7. Know what Saz...Good for you because a lot of single mums simply don't want to work these days and are more than happy to skive off everyone else! Don't let the fact you don't have a computer stop you because the libraries around Sheffield have them for you to access. What qualifications do you have? and does the voluntary work fit with it? If so you have the makings of a good CV. The key is to make your CV relevant to the job you're applying for don't just print one cv for different jobs as it won't work. Tailor your experiences to the job you're applying for, give examples but keep your CV to a maximum of 3 pages (preferably 2 though) As far as the hours go, why not try looking for part time work (although I'm sure you have done already). Don't mention the fact that you're a single parent, firms have no right to question you on it. Check out reed or job site for CV advice or look what CV workshops the council or jobcentre have on the go. They'll only be basic but if you can get the basics right you'll be on the right track. Drop me a pm if I can help anymore
  8. Hi All Wonder if you kind people could help me out. If/when booking airport parking online, what do people look for? Both in terms of the website and/or the actual parking. Thanks in advance
  9. They have spare paint to use up and spare budget to spend before the end of the financial year??
  10. The article is from the sun so be careful how much you take from it. They have an uncanny ability to go way over the top with a one sided viewpoint. A 3 year old alcoholic is terrible though however it is reported. Alcohol is treated in such a cavalier fashion because the amount of revenue it generates for both business and government is huge. (hundreds of millions) Its the way people have been brainwashed by the media, youtube videos etc to see these events as funny. As long as no one is getting hurt then I do actually think it is rather funny. If a person wants to get so drunk that by 10:30 they're on their way home then that's personal choice. One reason is the potent mixture of alcohol (a supressant) and sugar and caffeine (stimulant) which does weird things to people's minds. Add to this the growing insecurity of more and more people and its easy to see why aggression is so prevalent. I cannot stand the argument that "i was drunk i didn't know what i was doing" people know exactly what they're doing, alcohol just makes it so you don't care what you're doing. Because alcohol is legal and other drugs aren't. It's a different debate about the rights and wrongs of drugs. If something is illegal society has been taught to despise it. I can identify with the "mardy" argument. Going out with some people I have felt a huge amount of pressure to drink alcohol, however when i wake up the next morning and don't feel like a size 12 boot is pressing down on my head I ask the people who is better off? A person who can have a good time without feeling the need to get "off their face" is less mardy than someone who needs alcohol in my book. I love going out and getting a bit drunk, but not to the point where i can't stand or wake up the next morning covered in vomit with a throbbing head. It's also very easy to go out and drink soft drinks and still have a great time and save myself £20 by being able to drive home! It's the whole argument i mentioned above, other drugs are illegal (which equals reviled, ostracised etc) alcohol is a huge part of our culture so we love it and more often than not we praise people for getting trashed and doing stupid stuff.
  11. Read up on why the bees die... This probably means nothing to you but 3-4 times more people in the US die from bee stings each year than snake bites see here Here is a UK example in case people dying in america means nothing to you http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/5259380.stm (Yes i know it is a wasp sting but the effects can be the same)
  12. Bee stings can cause anaphylaxis in some people and yes they do actually die. Would you like examples?
  13. Lets tell the families of those killed by cyclists that there is no risk shall we?
