Nice. You should be able to buy one or at least get the part number for one from the dealers.

You can get a stick-on one for a cheap, quick temporary fix.

LED bulbs - no flickering so far with the crap weather when all the others are. It's not even like there's a gale either :roll:

Fibre broadband installation.
I was given a slot between 8am and 1pm for the engineer. He showed up at about 8:05 and was done in less than 30 minutes.
I now have the whole rest of my day off to do other things!

When I had fibre installed the engineer *advised* me to hammer the Internet for a few days as they monitored the line and decided the maximum speed based on average usage.

I don't know whether this is true or not and as I read that again, it does sound a bit like a wind up but unless anyone know any different...

The only thing I've heard related to speed was that if I kept switching my modem/router off then BT (I think I was with at the time) would slow my internets down as it would look like a bad line/connection on their end. It could have just been call centre [LIFTED] though being fed to me and it was a few years ago.

Took out £50 for an evening out with a friend who's visiting from Ireland.
Everyone took off early, leaving me with £20 in my pocket.
Went to the casino - just walked out with £55 in my pocket after hitting the blackjack table.
:D
