Nothing specific, just curious to see how things turn out...

I have been to most West-European countries and America for a week. The only country where I felt threatened about being Irish was in England. On a night out I actually got called a IRA terrorist by a group of people, long story short, they did not know me or anything about me yet I was immediately...

What we think is irrelevant, what really matters is what potential employers think, and that can be quite variable. A lot depends on how much they value your skills/experience, how difficult it is to recruit 'local' talent, how important things like language skills or cultural fit are to them, wheth...

Here you go, a literal translation of the theme - celebrities (note the plural) 2x tdf champions - Wiggins & Froome 1x world champion - Cavendish 1x doping cheat - Millar Obviously Team GB at the Olympics, taken at the Leatherhead section of the Box Hill loop - not very sharp unfortunately. https://...

My only real (recognisable) celebrity photos are from Goodwood too. Timo Glock, Bruno Senna, James Martin (the chef bloke), Henry Fonda, plus some others with their helmets on. I suppose you could stretch the theme to include other types of celebrities, other than humans. Cars and animals can be cel...

Someone was telling me the other day there are more cars built in the UK now than there ever have been. Don't know if it's true. But does it really matter if they're foreign owned firms? The important thing is there are jobs here, and tax is being paid here... I assume. As of 2012 the UK was export...

Really don't care about underlying agenda or such like, I just watch it to be entertained - in a bizarre B movie (I can't believe it's this bad) kind of way. Same goes for any talent show - I lose interest as soon as the absolute no hopers get kicked out.

Arggggggggggggggg..... frikken Flickr. Jimbox...what do I have to do to display my own photos that I pay Flickr to host in this forum now. It used to be much easier, but like most things Flickr has done over the past 18 months, it has become much more difficult, less user friendly, and downright ru...

There are two possibilities: 1. Vettel's chassis was faulty and this new chassis will allow him to perform on an equal level to Ricciardo. 2. Vettel's chassis was not fault and the new chassis will make no difference to the performance difference. What will not be the case is: 3. Vettel's chassis w...

I use flickr and the size of photos you can share is fixed by them. As far as I can tell, long side of photos goes 640, 800, 1024, 1600 - I couldn't post a 1200 wide photo even if I wanted. Anyway, I personally think 1024 (max long side) is probably big enough for what we want to do here, plus there...

Looking at what you have said I’m not sure if this is an investment or a dream? (both are good) – but playing devil’s advocate (I hope you don’t mind), you are looking at a property that currently might turn 100k at the most before costs? So for me the question comes down to this; do you want to li...

Why would you not afford ski holidays in option 3? I had extremely low income for years as I was student I still was skiing in Alps every winter. We haven't skied Europe for a long time, and don't think we could cope with a room above the disco anymore. A friend of a friend has a chalet in Switzerl...

I've done and am doing everything I can to minimise the risk on the business side of things and give it as good a chance as possible to succeed, but when you combine it with the France move, there are so many variable involved, it basically come down to a gamble and I'm not used to gambling. For ins...

One of my business partners decided she wanted to leave late last year, so we had to decided whether to close the businesses down (selling at the moment wouldn't be an option unfortunately), or refinance and restructure them – then I came up with another option… Now the basic idea is to either: Opti...

Thanks guys, there were some excellent and very creative entries. Expecting to see lots of cute babies and new puppies etc. this month, but then you just never know - anyone got a new car?

So if you win does that mean we have to call you Chuck?

No, because Chuck Norris doesn't take photos, he freezes time then takes what ever the hell he wants.

Doesn't matter what the law says, if you've bought from a dodgy company they'll be used to dealing disgruntled customers and probably won't think twice about flouting consumer laws. However, if they're a legitimate operation you could always try sending a quick message/mail to someone high enough up...

Let me see if I've got this right... Russian gas flows through the Ukraine. Their guy (Yanukovych) got kicked out. Russia wants to keep control of the pipeline so they're taking over the country. Germany, France, and Italy are pooing themselves because they rely so heavily on Russian gas. NATO won't...

Just come back from Canada, skiing through trees, jumping off cliffs (not too huge ones), getting stuck in powder, and generally doing my best not to get killed while doing so.

I think Snowboard (and free skiing) is in a bit of a strange in-betweenie sort of place at the moment, they still want to think of themselves as outside of the establishment (doing their own thing etc.), but in order to get to the top level they still need the same grit determination and professiona...

Off on holiday for 12 days, no one's come up with anything yet, so here are a few ideas - I'll get rid of them when I get back.

Men's downhill course looked and sounded seriously scary, most of the ski resorts I know would probably close the run if it was as icy as that, but they actually want it like that! Slopestyle was pretty epic, but don't know if TV really does it full justice - same with moguls. Most things with jump...

This is my normal route to work - it's been like this on and off since Christmas. Went through it on Friday night in my car (BMW 5 series), didn't realise how bad it was until I was 100 yards in, so just had to keep going and hope for the best. It stopped raining on Friday night, so Saturday we trie...

I had no idea it was that bad down south at the moment!
