  1. To be fair, you can't blame the bus for this...it's clear on the photo that the pedestrian crossing is showing a red man, so those people shouldn't be crossing. It's not the drivers fault if he has right of way at that time.
  2. This is a valid point. I work on Eccie Road, and whilst I'm not sure of the restrictions as I don't drive to work, I do remember recently seeing a sign on the bus stop near Champs advising that the bus lane restrictions were changing and for drivers to make sure they are aware of the new times...this means the ones on google aren't reliable.
  3. I'm sorry, but I don't see what your response has to do with my message quoted above it? It just seems that you are now trying to pick a fight with the OP?
  4. Have you tried Hobbycraft? they had loads of different easter moulds last week...not sure what they do with the stock after easter, but they might be selling it off cheap?
  5. I'm S2 also and still not collection for black bin. This wouldn't normally be a problem as we hardly ever fill the bin, but it's been out on the pavement for 5 days now and cheeky people have now filled it to the brim. I'm concerned that it now won't be taken as the lid doesn't shut? It also means that our bin inside, which is now full, can't be emptied as I've nowhere to put it!
  6. The only reason I can think that you'd prefer not to use a rescue is because you want to avoid the home check they do before hand? Or perhaps you've tried a rescue and have failed the home check for some reason? I'm not sure why else you'd not want to try and help out by adopting from a rescue where there are plenty of kittens and cats needing homes?
  7. I book taxi's to work for 3:45am on a regular basis and both Mercury and City have always been reliable. I found City slightly cheaper, and they text you when their on their way AND then give you callback when they get there.
  8. I subscribe to "Cake Decorating" magazine (http://www.mycakedecorating.co.uk/), which is a weekly publication. It's £2.99 a week, and they take the payments monthly so you get 4 magazines a time. It's really good, because you get a "free" decorating tool with each issue and then they show you different ways to use them, as well as giving you some yummy recipes to try. You also get some free gifts (cake caddy, tool storage box, silicone bakeware and more) for subscribing which is good. I'd thoroughly recommend it. :-)
  9. Yeh I also got the impression we were being judged, and looked down on. The person I spoke to didn't seem willing to believe me about my past work history, making out I wouldn't have been there lookin for a job if I really had the experience that I do!
  10. I went on Thursday, and was very disappointed. I too went dressed ready for interviews as I was told by my advisor that most of the companies would be there meeting people. On the day, after quite a long queue (only letting in 12 at a time and there were at least 60 there) there were a few A4 sheets on the wall, but when you looked at them closer, they were the same 4 or 5 jobs just duplicated. I was also told to take a lot of C/V's so I printed quite a few out, and not a single one was needed. It was all forms, or apply online. I spend about 15 minutes there and I was out again. I'm going to an advisor meeting next week, and I'm going to tell my advisor how much of a waste of time, and tram fare, I think it was.
  11. My opinion - you could be making absolutely stunning cupcakes, but when you can't even use proper English on your Facebook page, I'd not buy any. "Ov been trana think ov new ideas all night" - that put me off straight away. If you want to make a name for yourself, at least try and start being more professional about it.
  12. Is this just classed as a normal film, that Unlimited holders can use their card for? I know that there's some limits for "special" screenings that aren't included in the unlimited price, but it doesn't define "special"?
  13. I did a segway rally not so long ago, and absolutely loved it, but I think the standard segways (as opposed to the off roaders) promote laziness - anywhere that's close enough to comfortably get to on a segway, should also be close enough to walk to. Don't shoot me down - just my opinion
  14. Why not pop into one of the various surrounding sandwich shops instead. I recommend The Bread Bin, on the corner of John Street and Shoreham Street. They have lovely food and freshly made hot drinks
  15. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm 26, so can't go down the apprentice route, so I think i'm going to write to a few hotels asking that they consider me for any events related role to give me a foot in the door.
  16. Hi fellow forummers! I was hoping some of you may be able to provide me some advice on gaining experience in Wedding/Event planning. I have a Hospitality Degree so have a lot of theoretical knowledge, as well as basic on the job experience from various roles. I'm currently studying a further course focussed entirely on Wedding and Events Planning and will be completing this in the near future. What i'm intending to do is pursue a career in Events and/or Wedding Planning/Co-Ordination, but to do this I need to build up a portfolio. I'm stuck in a "Catch 22" situation at the moment, where I can't secure an Events based job role as I don't have much practical experience, but I can't get that experience without the job role Does anybody have any suggestions of roles I could pursue, or of anyone wanting basic/intermediate event planning assistance that I could provide to them. The other question is, should I be charging for my assistance if I'm only just starting out? I can't really afford to commit my time for free, but on the other hand I don't think it's fair to ask someone to provide payment for my services when I'm still building my experience? Sorry for the essay guys and gals, but I hope some of you could provide some suggestions? Thanks!

Seems to me that it's not that you "can't" afford to pay it off, it's just that you don't want to and are making up excuses. Pay up for what you owe, you refusing to pay your legitimate debt means other honest peoples interest rates are increased to cover people like you who take p**s.
  19. I ordered online with Tesco Clothing for a dress for my works Xmas party. Order placed on 24th November. Hadn't turned up by 4th December so I called them about it. They called me back to tell me the courier (Hermes?) had left it with reception (we have a caretaker/concierge in our block of flats). I've been chasing the caretaker since and never catch him in the office. Managed to get him today and he knew nothing about a parcel. He said it's happened a lot where another resident will let a courier into the building and they'll just leave the parcel by the reception door if he's not there, where anyone can take it, and then as far as their concerned it's a done deal. Luckily Tesco have sent out a free replacement on next day delivery so i'll wait and see if this one turns up tomorrow....doesn't leave me much time before my work party (Friday) if it doesn't fit though! Fuming is an understatement.
  20. Becks - I think you might find that your employer is being sneaky this year by taking advantage of the "extra" bank holiday we got because of the wedding. You should be entitled to 28days away from work each year (pro rata for p.time) but because of the wedding there was actually 9 bank holidays this year - I'm betting your employer will argue that because they've only made you work 1 of the 9 b/hols you are still getting 8 off plus your 20days. It's not great I know, but I think legally the employer can do it
  21. The problem I have at the moment is I'm working 10hour shifts, and my breaks are split into 30mins at a time so I don't have much time off to pop in anywhere It was through a letting agent, who have now gone bust, and the deposit is held with the DPS but they will only release it if the letting agent agrees, or I get this document signed and sent back to them, it's a lot of hassle but it's also a lot of money currently in limbo
  22. Hi All, We're currently trying to recover a deposit from a previous tenancy, but the landlord is not contactable so we have had to apply through the DPS for a Statutory Declaration to claim the money back. I need to get this form witnessed/sworn by a solicitor/commissioner for oaths/Magistrate. Can anyone recommend anyone able to this ASAP, or do I need to make an appointment for this type of thing? I've read that it should only cost around £5 for this service, can anyone confirm this? Any help appreciated.
  23. I paid £50 a month for a 24/7 access secure car park, with a keycard access, allocated space and CCTV.
  24. When you can rent spaces for £50 a month just outside the centre, I can't see how you'd convince people to pay £35 per WEEK, it seems a little expensive.
  25. Whilst I don't agree with some versions of "Pamper/Princess Parties" I'm not one to question someone else's decision - it's a free world and people can do what they want, so on that note I'd recommend http://www.princessathome.co.uk/ The owner runs a few different businesses linked to beauty treatments, and I met her when she ran a Groupon offer for her Spa@Home business and have to say I was very impressed. She comes to your house (not sure how it works for princess ones - may be more than one therapist) and talks through all the options etc, really friendly and proffesional :-) Hope this helps Kegleigh
