  1. I saw all the bike police outside Rossi's on my way out; thought maybe they were doing their cycling proficiency
  2. Does anyone know what the police presence was for in this area around half an hour ago? Loads of officers on bikes and also in cars. There were some posters on the school in Arabic/Hindi etc or similar (I can't read it so don't know which sorry!) and there seemed to be a lot of the Asian community around. There was a procession/march with flags etc. Was there an important visitor or festival or is it a protest or funeral or something? Just intrigued as I got caught up in it on my way home.
  3. They sell them in Netto on Queens Road
  4. Well I'm a Hallam student and I logged in to check our directories, which even includes staff and she isn't listed there!
  5. I have just searched the Hallam directory for you and can't find that name there!! Must just be skint not a student!
  6. I am on a cashback offer with 3 and just coming to the end of my 12 month contract. I haven't had any problems with them. My offer wasn't quite that cheap - normally £40/month but I get it half price at £20/month. I pay £40/month and claim lumps sum back at 6th and 12th month and I haven't had a problem. Mine is with E2Save who are the internet-only arm of the Carphone Warehouse. There are similar offers to the one you saw around everywhere, there are lots at £2.99/month etc. Cashback can be a pain but £40/month (for 750 any time/network mins and 150 texts) is cheaper than what I used to pay and a lump sum back every now and then is a pleasant surprise! Just don't forget to send off your bill for the cashback in the set timeframe, send it recorded and ring to check it got there and there shouldn't be a problem.
  7. Thanks for the info and thanks to your girlfriend too. It's much appreciated
  8. Might this be of any use?: "How do I contact you? If you have read the frequently asked questions and still need help, please contact us on one of the following numbers: Royal Mail 0845 77 40 740 Parcelforce Worldwide 08708 50 11 50" Hope it is (by the way here is the link to where I found that.)
  9. Your local? You sure it's not your bar? Only 7 posts in the 2 months you have been registered and all of them refer to Ruskins and promote it
  10. I have already done what you suggest, Dug, and the OP probaby has too. But, universities are effectively businesses and courses are their products. If too few people sign up, they cannot be run; they are not likely to tell prospective students that the course is a waste of a year/ overpriced etc. Sometimes you just want an insider's view, from the perspective of a student on the course rather than that of a tutor
  11. I would guess no one does, because I asked the same question a month ago here and I didn't get any replies I was thinking of starting the course in September 2006.
  12. Lottie, my younger brother (he is 18) has KT. You are the first person I have ever come across other than him who has it. I have had a read of your website and I applaud your honesty about your condition and the problems you have had. My brother is very lucky that his Klippel Trenaunay is much milder than yours. At birth it was, like you, assumed he had a birthmark. His KT is confined to his right leg. At one point health staff tried to get social services to remove him from my parent because they had negligently failed to note his "birthmark" and thought he had been abused. He was not diagnosed with KT until he was about 13, after an incident involving rugby, a studded boot, a lot of blood and a very worried PE teacher!! Now, his leg is much thicker than the other and he wears an insole because of a slight length difference. He is very lucky that besides his insole and having to be careful if he bangs or cuts his leg, he has no other difficulties and has had no other treatment. Because of him though, I can only begin to imagine what it is like for you having a more severe case, and I wish you all the best for the future. (Sorry for the off wheelchair topic essay!)
  13. Well, my school messed up and let me do subjects that didn't fit on the timetable so they said if I kept quiet I was allowed to not do the compulsory PE! In the spare time I had (which was when there were no PE sessions, that's why I didn't do it) I did two extra GCSEs so I ended up with 12 English Language A* Geography A* As for this lot: English Literature Biology Chemistry Physics (I did the separate sciences) Maths French German Drama and Bs for: Graphic Products Religious Education Unfortunately, whilst waiting tentatively that summer for my results, I disocvered alcohol. In the following months I discovered driving and got a car, and suddenly skiving college was far easier and far more exciting than skiving college was so my A-levels were (I think, I actually can't remember!): English Language B General Studies B French C Drama and Theatre Studies D AS level Maths C I went to a mixed comprehensive in Cheshire just south of Manchester and a very big state 6th form down the road. Now at Hallam and just finishing my second year of a law degree
  14. It won't so much come under the property being too cold as the fact that it is the structure ( ie window/external wall) that is in disrepair that will be covered on there.
  15. Try this website here - it is the Citizens' Advice Bureau website and it explains the landlord's responsibilities in respect to repairs. I am actually a law student and I'm doing my housing law module coursework right now, but I'm too snowed under to answer your problem myself right now - sorry! But the advice on that site is as good as any. Good Luck with it!
