Wombatman - was pretty easy when I was there 2 years ago especially if you go to a club called Trezor I think it was...

[one ill cat]

@OneIllCat - Honestly, the amount of people who will say their weakness is perfection or some such shit is unreal. If you want to stand out from the crowd don't use this. I heard about one lad who said his biggest weakness was blue smarties. He could leave the rest but the blue ones, no chance. When the interviewers were doing up their results they couldn't get him out of their head. A bit ott I know and probably an Urban myth but interesting all the same. I work in IT and I would normally say something like documenting my work is an area I need to improve on but i have set my self targets for this year, etc etc

Yeah I'm not saying it's not commonly used but imo this question is usually to trip people up rather than make them stand out. Quirky answers are high variance as it really comes down to how they're received by the interviewers. Corporate companies tend to have an interviewing team so it's not necessarily the management of the department that's hiring who you see.

Given this I would find it a bit risky trying to make an impression on the HR fuddy duddy
who's watching the clock. Attention to detail, stickler for time management etc whilst boring is what corporate likes want to hear I think. However, whilst I wouldn't be opposed to putting a unique spin on a safe answer, I think the blue smarties line is a bit of Russian roulette.

If I binked a genie from a lamp, and the only thing I could wish for was to improve something about Joey Barton, I'd probably punch the genie, to be perfectly honest, even if it was a woman genie.

Eh, that Joey Barton had to pay you his wages every week in full?

well, that and 'events, dear boy, events'

I'd be quite happy to tie cash up for 10 months on this one

Yeah and its not as if the price is likely to move too much in the short term at least, so you don't even need to take a 10 month view on it.

eh, she got elected comfortably

rightly so, going great lengths!

A Joey Barton fetish? Different strokes I guess.....

Boom! no pun intended, but I got it.

regarding the blue smarties I think that's hilarious, and as brazen as I am in interviews might be a step too far even for me.

anyone any suggestions on where to bring the gf on holiday around mid march ?

Easy . . . golf trip

How easy is it to get green in Berlin?

Very easy. Was there over the past 2 summers. Goerlitze Park (not sure of spelling) and Yaams prob your best bet. http://www.yaam.de/

Bought an SSD for my Macbook but never really messed around with it please don't let me fuck it up when I'm installing it

€147 for 120gb on Komplett & €145 for a 60gb in Peats people be schmucks if they buy that in there.

Was transferring loads of pics over the weekend and my system was sluggish at times so hoping this boost will be worth it after hearing good things about this drives, if it runs all good might upgrade the ram and have a best of a machine.

Cormac Lucey does not agree it seems:

E.4 Bottom Line
I expect to see Irish property prices fall by about 75% from peak before they hit fundamental value.

But, because of the dismal prospects for credit and economic growth and because of the overshoot factor, I expect Irish residential property prices to eventually fall by an average of 80-90% from peak before they find an enduring bottom.

How much ram is in it now? and how much can it take?

I am thinking of upping my ram as well.

MrsFD is spot on. Make sure you check your macbook support page to get the correct frequency/speed ram and maximum capacity. List of specs/compatibility here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1270.

http://www.memoryc.com/ are usually good value. You might get a few quid on adverts for your old ram too.

I'm not that dumb that I wouldn't check before I bought, was on the crucial site the other day works out bout €45 for 8gb.

This is my model.

Danny, no need to be snappy about it I was only trying to help. The fact you wrote you THINK made me say to make sure. Some people go ahead and throw ram into comps etc and not realising that the comp can't recognise more that x GB of ram.

[NewApproach]

If you arrive in Gatwick and have a connecting flight from Heathrow, do you have to collect your bags in Gatwick or just in Shannon?

I will keep my advice to myself next time!

He wasn't being snappy. Be less touchy imo.

If you arrive in Gatwick and have a connecting flight from Heathrow, then it's not actually a connecting flight imo. I'd imagine that you would be responsible for your own bags, but ask when you check your bags in anyhow.

I get guys in from time to time that buy the wrong ram by mistake, wreck the packaging and I can't refund it. Danny I wasn't being condescending or indeed inferring you are dumb, only trying to help, as I have no idea if you ever tinkered with ram before.

It would be booked on one ticket. I'll try to find out before booking the tickets I guess. I wouldn't mind going across London really, wouldn't do it if I had to lug bags though.

Does this happen a lot? I would imagine you would fly into and out of the other, say you'd be responsible for own luggage

Dunno tbh, I'm just looking at flights for Vegas and can fly with Virgin with that stop over in London or with United/Continental with 2 stops and an 8 hours longer trip each way for slightly less. Virgin are supposed to be pretty good to fly with and I like the idea of only having one long flight. But no way am I hauling my bags across London!

i think there may be a direct heathrow to gatwick bus service so i think it would only be a case of collecting your bags and throwing them on bus outside.

Theres no way i can imagine your bags arrive in gatwick and the airline take care of getting them to heathrow for you

Just get a Ryanair or AL flight to LGW and check in again there for your Vegas flight. It's a reasonably small airport so no big deal. Flying into LHR and out of LGW would be madness imo.

Apologies folks if you thought I was being rude or something, just wrote it out without event thinking people would take it up the wrong way, no offence meant promise

Most of what I was writing was just general bits and bobs I had done some small enquiries was just basically spouting ideas.

It's all good in the hood

Not at all if I thought anybody could help me in certain situations I would certainly take any help that was on offer.

I do have computer qualifications myself but its nice to bounce ideas of the techy people in here to get feedback.

[Strewelpeter]

It may be the same ticket but its not the same Journey and the flights will have different Locater Numbers. Anyway there is no baggage transfer between flights across the two airports so you need to allow time for collection and check in

Did you use the 2 discount codes that were in the bargain alert thread? Could be worth a couple hundred bucks.If you only placed it in the last day or 2 you might be able to cancel and reorder.

You can get a flight dub to gatwick so no need to go near heathrow. Have done that virgin to Vegas flight they are nice to fly with (free booze all the way) however their reliability isn't great. In my experience try to get a flight connecting through Atlanta that's pretty much the nicest hub airport to spend an hour or so, avoid ohare and jfk.
