    Project "Mind the Gap"

    Hey Giugiaro. Firstly, welcome! I must admit, I really like the idea of this and think it's great (but that's probably a bit biased as I'm an Underground enthusiast/employee ;) ). Having never really had an interest in anime/manga (aside from Dragonball), this has really caught my eye! As...

    Unemployed or Unemployable ??

    Good work mate! And good luck with that interview. :D In the meantime, never forget there's voluntary work. I started off in a charity shop to gain experience. Ticks the retail box with a big green marker that does! :wink: --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Agreed with you there...

    Unemployed or Unemployable ??

    I recently left a role at a TOC because I presumed I was going on to bigger & better things. Shouldn't of done that, as it all fell through. But instead of sitting at home moping away on benefits, I started applying for everything I could. I'm very luck at having over 5 years experience in...

    Doctor Who Movie

    Quite surprised no-ones posted this, seeing as I remember there to be quite a few Doctor fans on here... So what are ones thoughts? http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2011-11-15/doctor-who-hollywood-feature-film-in-development My opinion is that; If it goes any way like Torchwood did once...

    internet on the move

    Not true actually. I got a N95 8GB version with an 18 month contract for £35 a month. Now, if I'd purchased the handset on its own, at the time of taking the contract, it would of cost me around £350. Then add my £20-£30 a month spend on credit for my phone, and x that by 18. Altogether, that...

    Travel places to spend vacation

    I plan to go to New York next year, for a bit of crimbo shopping, providing the pound stays as strong as it is against the dollar. Or to Sicily, which is absolutely beautiful, if that fails. :) Or you can join me on my country wide tour to find the best fish and chips in the UK in March...

    Becoming a Train Driver

    I don't care if people use HEx or not, but there is a reason why people do find it good value for money. E.G. Today. Two elderly American tourists wanting to get to Marble Arch from Terminal 1. I told them they could take The Tube, it would cost £4, and it would take about one & a half hours...

    Precisely. :mrgreen:

    Becoming a Train Driver

    I do agree, however, as I learnt on my first day, when your only alternatives to get into central London are a cab costing £60, the tube which takes forever and means making changes and a coach which is quite frankly a horrible experience, then HEx is the best option for most. As for Connect...
