  1. Something that is usually never mentioned in the small print but is ALWAYS a perfectly legal option with hire purchase is to hand the car back at the half way mark and cut your losses. i.e. on a 3 year HP you are entitled to give the car back after 1.5 years (assuming it is in reasonable condition for the time you've had it) and have nowt else to pay - end of contract. It usually works out much better financially than if you were to try and sell the car

  3. If you are used to photoshop, photoshop cs6 has a great movie editing interface - specifically made for photoshoppers instead of video people
  4. Blokes that wear elasticated-bottom jeans and sockless plimsols Blokes that wear a scarf in the summer Blokes that wear a scarf over a low-cut girls blouse Idiots that have their waistline of their jeans underneath their arse cheeks
  5. Do the old ctrl -alt-del and run task manager to see which processes are using the most memory and see if there is owt there that is unusual
  6. I thought an idiot abroad was ok(ish) but I just didn't like the way Karl tries too hard to be unhappy about things...you can clearly see it is put on
  7. For photographers (or people with a decent camera)
  8. Ah bugger!!! I meant to put != instead of == Cheers Ant!
  9. the band was named after (and by) a dj called bill gates, therefore you are all wrong
  10. rescue the info off your drive, format it and stick it back in the old computer, install linux. Then you have a spare which you can use for faffing on or turn it into an arcade machine
  11. you'll need to plug a power cable into it too:
  12. A bit pricey but...what a car!!!! http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3388039.htm
  13. Go British... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3750737.htm
  14. Peter Kay if you can catch him doing some jokes he hasn't already done several times before Ross Noble John Bishop And that American bloke, about 50, with the weird eyes and lisp that often appears on Live At The Apollo
  15. As Ant says, you should avoid using css and use inline styles and code in 1945 era html - no paragraph tags, just br tags, use tables instead of divs and use style="blah blah;" within the tags instead of putting css in style tags in the head of the document. And for crappy outlook you are best completely avoiding background images - they just won't work properly or at all on most versions. That said, using css shouldn't make an email open in plain text format...it should just make some of the styling balls up. This would have more to do with the deployment of the email where it sets the headers and sets the html version and plain text alternative.
  16. aye..but you should still also benefit £300-£400 per annum even on PAYE
  17. Oh! And the way I work it out is 9205 - 7475 = 1730 1730 / 4 = 432.50 So I should save £432.50 per year off my tax bill - as would everyone else (loosely based on the 'your tax is aboot a quarter of yer profit!' idea which is pretty close)
  18. Kind of explains it better than I did in the news article here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17450719
  19. No, the tax threshold and allowance is exactly the same thing. Therefore everyone currently gets taxed on all money after their first £7475 per annum - and will be getting taxed only on income over the £9205 soon. I pay myself a salary of £7475, thus not needing to pay any income tax. I then pay corporation tax on my business profit and can help myself to dividends at any time. It's the way most Ltd company directors do it if they aren't bothered about impressing banks with a high salary. So I will be upping my salary to £9205 with no income tax and my corporation tax should drop as profits will be less. If you are employed and earn £30,000, you will only be taxed on £20,795 since the £9205 is the new allowance/threshold
  20. According to my calculations, it will knock over £400 off my tax bill each year. I welcome it!
  21. I watched a beheading clip once. I wish I hadn't. It will haunt me forever! Advice: Just don't!
