BSc Zoology :) And now I work in admin :(

haha! :mrgreen:

Have had Virgin for the last 2 years and no problems at all. However just moved house and got the new superhub and the connection has ground to a halt. Don't know if it's living in a new area or there's an issue with me changing address or if they are having local problems. Nonetheless it is...

He's gorgeous!

That's freaking awesome!

In all the reviews I've read the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 is generally the tablet of choice over the iPad 2 This would certainly be my choice if only because it runs Android instead of iOS

Did they though? Do you think the shop has time to investigate the legal status of species every time something new pops up on the importers list? Yes fair enough you could probably expect an experienced aquarist to know they were illegal. But if a fish comes up on an importers list most would...

Is grassing on the store the correct thing to do? The store may have been unaware these fish were illegal in the trade, and assumed that if it came up on an importers list that they were legal to import / sell in the uk?

How long have these been banned for? Because I have seen a batch in for sale in a local aquarium shop about 3 years ago

Everyone has such impressive jobs, not fair lol! I graduated with a 1st BSc in Zoology 3 years ago and now work as an office monkey for a charity, photocopying stuff and writing appointment letters for a living. Gotta live the dream eh!

That looks right up my street! If only it was commutable from where I live :(

Having spent 3 years working in the aquatics trade, I would say that the vast majority of aquarists are male from what I observed

I'm sure he doesnt care that its overstocked. It's just a pretty ornament to him, he just paid for someone to set it up/maintain it for him.

Its plumbed through the floor into a seperate sump room so theres a much larger volume of water not on show, as well as most likely a giant skimmer/phosphate reactor to keep the NO3/PO4 right down

There are fish in his tank which used to belong to people I know. I would be terrified having a pool table so close to the tank though, one stray ball and thats a hell of a lot of water on the floor! EDIT - having read the article, the tank is acrylic not glass which would possibly explain the...

Someone in work just had a brand spanking new 59 plate one of these dropped off this morning, certainly a very nice looking car :D

I currently work for the Environment Agency

Don't go Mark. Don't care about what others think or say, do it for yourself and your own personal pleasure and development within the hobby. If you're dead set on leaving then I respect your decision, but I think you would be making a huge mistake, both for yourself and the hobby as a whole. I...

Theres another one like that "is it christmas" one, something like "is it tuesday"

http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEno ... O720090709 "BERLIN (Reuters) - A badger in Germany got so drunk on over-ripe cherries it staggered into the middle of a road and refused to budge, police said on Wednesday. A motorist called police near the central town of Goslar to report a dead...

Congrats mate!

Up, up, and awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay (have a good one matey!)

Never found the root of the problem. It all went wrong when I attempted to install SP3, so I performed a system restore to the day before I attempted the SP3 install, and all is working fine now. Not an ideal fix I know, I'd have liked to have found out what the cause was and fixed that, but its...

finally fixed that SUCKA!!!!

I've got one of those in my collar bone!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

That would make sense then, as the router is plugged in in the kitchen which is on the other side of the wall to the exchange box or whatever its called on the outside wall of the house. However, not even the phone will work on any socket other than the one in the kitchen...

Its nothing I've done, its been like it since we moved in

The only problem with this is the router is downstairs and my PC is upstairs (don't ask, only 1 of 4 phone sockets in the house seems to actually work...), so I'm not sure if a cable running up the stairs and across the landing would go down so well with SWMBO...

I have tried numerous combinations of uninstalling/reinstalling/downloading latest software/trying different USB ports with no success. I will have another play when I get home though, as its been a few days since I've had chance to try and fix it due to work. One thing I will say is that I will...

I've been sorely tempted to buy a Mac recently George, believe you me. However, I'm going to settle for building myself a new PC from scratch in the near future. This is just a major pain the in @ss for now tho., it still works fine on my girlfriends laptop, so it's not a problem with the...

In my infinite wisdom (after getting thoroughly p***ed off with XP SP3 failing to install again), I uninstalled the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility programme I use with my wireless USB adapter. Now, however, no matter how many times I install / re-install the wireless networking utility, I...

Very true. One of my lecturers in uni was quite heavily involved with bees, they are literally worth billions of £ in terms of the benefits they provide by pollinating crops

That is my one gripe with the new 32" Panasonic LCD I've recently bought, is that standard definition doesn't look that great. However, xbox360 and blu-rays in HD look fantastic!

Oh yeah, I forgot about climbing! Used to go every week, but haven't been for about a year (membership ran out then was busy with work :roll: )

Woo, new series! Can't wait!

I also like photography, building computers. I a bit of a gadget junkie lol

I'm loving Breaking Benjamin at the moment, but I like a lot of stuff Mostly rock/metal/punk etc, but I like some dance music and some r'n'b type stuff

I apologise then, please remove my posts seeing as they are nothing to do with the context of the thread I was just trying to get in my head what the picture was of before I made a comment

And there was me thinking Wales and England were different countries... I wasn't trying to have a dig, I was genuinely curious to see if I was thinking of the correct thing, or if it was a regional thing I didn't know about, as obviously in Wales we refer to certain things by different names to...

Excuse the cultural barrier, but im assuming middgies are the same as midges?

Just bought the Panasonic L32X10 this week. Great set, highly recommend it. Good price too

Amen brother George. As a longstanding PC user I agree with this wholeheartedly

Or it might have been west wales.....

Welsh Water doesn't have much luck in north wales do they. There was a big cryptosporidium outbreak not too long ago and they were on a boil water warning for a few weeks

I always thought it was giggedy giggedy

Good lord, he must have had some free time on his hands to make that! Quality vid tho, enjoyed it :mrgreen:

That's me put in my place then

Welcome! on a side not, why do new sponsors not get introduced to us by the mod who adds them as soon as they are added? It seems that new sponsors only get introduced when someone happens to notice they have been added?

:lol:

I fear I may be headed that way rather soon lol, no one has noticed yet though.....

A girl after my own heart! Finally, some OCD to rival my own!

They grow up so fast *sniff* :cry:

and then he had to pay it all back again! :lol: :lol:

do what to it?!

Snowing quite heavily here in Swansea, although it doesn't seem to be sticking to the roads fortunately, so isn't causing too much of a problem (probably because they were still wet from the last lot of snow melting) Unfortunately I'm stuck in work so I can't go out and play :(

Few pictures out and about in Gowerton today. and lastly, my back garden from the window: I noticed that on my pictures Mark, I had to bump up the brightness during PP on most, if not all, the pictures I've taken today

Well its official, im stuck in the house all day. The annoying thing is, I live at the bottom of a cul-de-sac which is on a hill, which then opens out onto an A-road and then on to the M4, so the only thing stopping me getting to work is the 5 metre long hill to the top of the cul-de-sac. I...

Not even the faintest hint of snow here, been clear skies mostly

Lars Ulrich is indeed an amazng drummer, I also had no idea James Hetfield could play drums!

Can't beat Travis Barker for a bit of drumming By the way, that final link you posted chris, he's actually trying to cover a song originally by this guy, who plays it much better: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddn4MGaS3 ... re=related

TDI-Line hates blyxa!

:cry: Simon is not obsessed with Clives whereabouts :wink:

Post a baseless (but funny) lie about the person who has posted immediately before you. For example, the next person to post could write "Joecoral has 15 toes but only 6 fingers", or something to effect Enjoy!

That's how it seemed to me

I should probably add that chemistry was poorly taught in my secondary school, which probably contributed. I also did Genetics at university Ed, but I decided I didn't like it and changed to Zoology after a year, much more my cup of tea!

For me it was, but then like I said I didn't enjoy it whereas you do. To be honest tho I don't really remember, it seems so long ago (6 years ago now I started my A/AS-levels! :shock: ) The most worthwhile things to do in life always are the most difficult ones tho. They say A-levels are more...

Good choice of A-Levels, you should be able to get onto a lot of the higher-value university courses with those. Chemistry is a bit of a bugger, I went from A* at GCSE to E at A-level, although to be fair it wasn't a subject I enjoyed. Congrats on the good results, as for english dont sweat it...

me? or you mean Nick standing on the frozen lake?

Aww bless, you look so young! :mrgreen: That was Eastenders wasn't it?

'tis rather cold out!

That seems to have solved the problem, thanks Thomas :mrgreen:

Tis possible, they've certainly been spotted in the UK before, albeit not very frequently. Only the summer months though

That is exactly how it looks on mine LD. I have tried deleting the cookie incase it may be corrupt, but it had no effect. Its not just on UKAPS, but every forum / website which stores information, login stuff, even my google search preferences are reset every time i close the browser

It is not checked Tried with IE and it can remember the details, so the problem seems only to be with Firefox :?

Nope, only me No, don't use ccleaner or any similar programs Browser section options are checked to accept cookies and keep them until they expire. Am using Mozilla Firefox version 3.0.5

I run AVG as anti-virus and scan with Spybot: Search & Destroy from time to time. Scanned with both programmes this morning, although the problem has been ongoing for several days now, so don't think that could be the problem?

As per title, since monday everytime I close my internet browser, upon reopening i have to re submit all my login details (ie name and password) to every forum / site I go on that requires you to login, even when the "remember my details" box is checked I thought it was cookie related, but...

we've got one of those 4 hook feeding poles, got peanuts, seed, fat snacks, its great the birds literally queue up along the fence to use it, theres often 10 or more birds on it at one time, all sorts too! fortunately we don't get any squirrels, certainly never seen one anyway

I am the only one who didn't like Diana and is glad she's gone then?

Dunno why, but I found this absolutely hilarious

Wow, those are amazing! Love the bacon trees lol

Nah, car is parked right outside my kitchen window, I would have noticed if the lights were on, plays an annoying alarm if I open the door when they're on anyways

Got in my car to go to town this morning, turn the key and...... nothing Not even turning over, absolutely nothing Was workin fine on sunday, been sat outside the house for 48 hours, and now dead Thats £50 for a new battery that I can't afford :evil: :evil:

how about someone (eg an old army sergeant or such) goes into a school and actually allows teachers to discipline problem pupils

an engagement ring :wink: ? it satisfies both categories!

kind of defeats the point lol!

tastes exactly the same, just not quite as crispy as grilling/frying

my girlfriend does it too. never even heard of it being done that way till i met her I still prefer to grill it, personally

Oo, what episode are you on? I'm at 74

I went to see Zebrahead last night, and they were bloody brilliant. So thats what 'm listening to

£2.49 in Argos isnt it

What it boils down to IMO is artificial manipulation of the market There is no way a company like GAME need to "supplement" their stock by buying from a supermarket It's better for them to buy up all the cheap consoles and sell them at a reduced profit, than to sell nothing at all because they...

Click The industry was rocked by heavy discounting this week, as High Street giants GAME and Gamestation joined independent retailers in buying extra stock from supermarkets. The latest round of price slashing kicked off at Sainsbury’s over the weekend, with the retailer cutting £30 off the...

Fish Fingers

You certainly have a very stereotypical view of students supercoley, I certainly didnt waste all my money on "beer, hash and concerts", i put every penny I didnt need into a savings account, which now pays my rent in the absence of having a job

To all people thinking of going to university: don't bother You spend 4 years living on less money than people on the dole get, spend about £25k on fee's, come out with a good degree, but no one will employ you. People who don't employ graduates want people with experience, which you don't have...
