Try looking at splitting your journey, sometimes works out a lot cheaper. I booked my trains to go Manchester early, they're going for ridiculous ammounts now.

Anyone able to give some advice on using a card abroad? I'm going Germany on the 1st of June for 2 months, so need like £1000 but taking it all in cash seems like just a bad idea. Main card on Barclays, 3% fee for using it abroad, is that decent or are there better options?

Get on here and there will be a bit about travelling abroad with money. From what I remember you can get a prepaid debit card for Euros and you just use that.

Somebody please bully me in a 100k per week contract... For that money I will wash the balls of the entire team

For 100k per week I'd do it with my tongue.

I've fucked up monumentally. Only realised 20 minutes ago that my second French exam was today, I thought it was supposed to be on Thursday.

Probably wasted a whole year of my life based on that fuck-up, as I am about 98% certain of not getting into Uni without that exam.

I really, really want to bash my head against the wall.

I know nothing about politics, but just look at Miliband ffs. He's essentially Boris Johnson

Their all cunts anyway

Exactly this. Does Ed Milliband look like someone who can run a country and stand side by side with people like Barack Obama, Angela Merkel & Putin. Does he bollocks. Looks like the kid at school who gets bullied but still thinks he's mates with all the cool kids.

Baby arrived at 2.55am after an emergency caesarian yesterday morning weighing 7.7lbs. We've decided to name her Elizabeth Eva Beale which combines names from both sides of the family.

Both mum and baby (and dad) are doing well, hounesty can't describe the feeling of holding her for the first time in the operating theatre, her tiny little eyes looking up at me and holding my little finger with her hand.
I've just slept for twelve hours straight after not sleeping at all since 7am on Friday, hard work this baby business!

Congrats Rich. Shes gorgeous. Can totally relate to that feeling, there is nothing like it.

So when we sitting down to sort an arrangement for my lad and your daughter to get married in 20 years time?

Looks as if I'm going to be a daddy by the end of the day, came to Birmingham for a scan today and the fluid level around baby had dropped significantly from the last scan a fortnight ago. Doctor thinks the waters broke but slowly rather than a big gush. They have decided to induce her today. I'm waiting for a train back home to go and get the suitcase, shaking a little as I write this.

Try to be nice and calm when you're with her. She'll be panicking, so you've got to be billy big bollocks to reassure her.

Good luck!

Why do you need French to get into uni? Unless you're going to a French uni or are reading French, both of which would be pointless.

Nah I never had an op, that was Kevo. I fucked the knee 3 weeks ago, it was swollen as fuck, they took out some of the blood/fluid with an injection and it's seems to have got better since but still can't bend it too far.

Sorry duck, read the comment without reading who posted, assumed it was Kevo moaning about his injuries again. Would be surprised if its just swelling/trauma. I sprained my ankle not that badly about 4 weeks ago playing football, still get sore at the end of the day, and can feel it pulling if I roll my ankle in slightly.

Naah not really. I can literally put all my weight on it and even half squat but I can't bend it past about 90 degrees and when I do bend it the knee cap feels like something stretching. Fuck knows what it is, hoping it's nothing serious as I'm meant to be going away in June

How long since you had the op? Stiches only just out so cant be long, sounds to be like most likely just swelling as part of the healing process.

Hmmm mate moved from 3 to EE and says he loses signal a lot, but might be his shitty phone.

I had both the S4 and M7, obviously quite similar due to software but just felt the HTC was a bit better build quality. I cracked the screen on the S4 in a week, HTC lasted me almost two years

Dropped my S3 a couple of weeks in and cracked the screen. Lived with it for near on 2 years.

Sell the iPhone and get something else? I'm tempted by HTC M9 and Galaxy S6, but not sure I want to spend so much on a contract again. Had an M7 till it got nicked and was good enough so might look at getting the cheaper M8

Was your wife already on EE? How's the signal?

CBA with doing that, will most probably just get a 6 and deal with it. Only problem is if i leave the company they can jack the contract up to normal price, which would be about £50 a month, which is pointless when the idea is to get a cheaper contract. Maybe I'll just get a pink 5C!!

Shes with Virgin aswell, we've got TV/Broadband/Phone so got a good deal. She had a shit Nokia Lumia before, hasnt held charge for about 9 months though.

EE signal for calls etc around here is good. Dont have 4G rolled out here yet though, although should be in the next 6 months, and they have it almost everywhere once you get 5 miles out our town.

Looked at the M8 myself, looks good. Mates got an S6, likes it aswell but I'm coming to the end of 2 years with an S3 and its awful in terms of speed/locking up, so I'm a bit anti Samsung at the moment.

What network you with Slashman? I got my upgrade coming next month, currently on 3 but not sure whether to switch to another one or what phone to get

Im switching soon from Virgin (part of a package inc. TV etc) to EE, as I get 40% off through work, can have 2 contracts so my wife will have one, shes due an upgrade this month.

Only problem is I've just found out I can only have 1 non Iphone and 1 Iphone. She wants the Samsung Galaxy A5 so that means I'm stuck with overpriced Apple.
