  1. That was exactly my first thought as well. I know it's not really down to you to rearrange your property to sort this issue out, but if feasible, I would look at removing half the panel and moving the end post which would probably give you more than enough room to manoeuvre in and out. As I say - I don't know what is the other side of the fence - but it looks feasible to me.
  2. I think that CSI do have a point - up to a point. If you join at 16 you can terminate at any time before you are 18, but once over that threshold then you are committed for another 4 years. Personally I think that junior entrants should be able to exercise the option to leave at any point up until they are 20 years old. It gives them more time to see what the 'real' army / navy / air force is actually like. However, this is not all about young people joining the Infantry and suddenly realising that the wars are real. From a MoD point of view, if you invest kit, equipment, accommodation, basic training, adventure training and then technical trade training into an individual - then this comes at quite a hefty price - hence they rightly want some return for all of that investment. As a result they have to set certain lengths of service dependant on the investment that they have made. Apparently only about 1.5 per cent of forces personnel fall into the junior category and the majority of those appear to be quite happy with the choice that they have made - therefore it begs the question of how prevalent is it that people are tied to contracts that perhaps they did not read properly at the time of signing. I sympathise with those who find themselves in a position that perhaps they don't want to be in, and I really don't think it's too hard an issue to solve - but I think that CSI are in this for the media coverage more than anything else.
  3. Agree, lovely pair of terminals....
  4. Great thread fellas, luvin' it..... http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/city-transfers-gossip-blues-eye-7734864 http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-transfer-news-jay-rodriguez-and-schneiderlin-must-respect-their-contracts-says-southampton-chairman-9650721.html
  5. Very sad, great comedian and actor. Go back as far as Mork and Mindy, he's done some great stuff since. RIP.
  6. Well done indeed to all who participated - unfortunately it appears that the event was sadly marred somewhat: http://news.sky.com/story/1316782/cyclist-dies-after-charity-race-collapse
  7. Well all that I have managed to get by reading this thread is a whole lot of adware / malware and other rubbish downloaded onto my PC - I knew there was a reason as to why I never normally click on dodgy streams....!!!
  8. No way on gods earth am I going - all for boycotting this one. You won't see me there in a month of Sundays - they can ram it. Mind you I have boycotted every game since the Johnstons Paint Trophy Final due to the fact that I lived in Northern Ireland and even now, still live miles away. Boycott away fools.
  9. There's this poster I know, his name is Pap - you should look him up sometime, probably be able to 'chew the fat' for days.....
  10. Room for one more...?
  11. I can see how she totally failed to recognise her compensation amount, it was similar to when she also failed to realise that a child was at risk after the family received 60, yes 60, visits from social workers, police and health professionals over eight months. It is an absolutely sickening case, I'm not saying that she was totally responsible, but she was in a position of somebody who should have both known about the case and acted - and by all accounts failed on both counts. Do I begrudge her the £680,000, yes I do. She shouldn't of even got the £33,00 that Lord Neuberger suggested was commensurate with her claim. The only crumb of comfort that I take for this abhorrent case is that Safeguarding legislation was introduced on the back of baby P's death, in order to try to protect children from similar fates. It's a start but as the recent Daniel Pelka case shows - children are still open to awful neglect and suffering. I struggle with any kind of 'award' to this particular lady, a 17 month old child dies and those people who were meant to be safeguarding him reap the rewards. Justice.
  12. Aaaahhh that's where you see wrong though, it did sink. Just like they said. But I don't buy the "iceberg" story at all, do you? Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk
  13. So ten years down the line and now the truthers would have us all believe that there were no planes involved... The sad thing is that give it another ten years and they'll probably be trying to convince us that the towers themselves never existed. Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk
  14. I've waited four years for that...! The players are very good at talking the talk, when in fact, they are shyte at actually walking the walk. Total bloody rubbish..... Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk
  15. This could actually be a blessing in disguise because if we did get though we could take a hell of a battering from one of the good sides in the competition. So this might actually be for the best. Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk
  16. What Florida Marlin said. But you might also want to drive south instead of north - over the Alps, (stunning views, some hairy hairpins...!!) down through the Brenner pass and make your way to Lake Garda. Beautiful scenery all the way, bottom of the lake (Lazise & Sirmione) is best for lazy tourism, top of lake is windsurfing territory if your are into that sort of thing. Absolutely beautiful part of the world, can't go wrong either way.
  17. Great comic actor. Sad, sad loss, far too young. But on the bright side - it's going to be hell in heaven for the next couple of days while he settles in...

    D-Day 70

    Heard about this on the news as I was driving home from work - made me smile. Top man.
  19. This was my first thought as well - and if you go this route then I would suggest that you don't just throw the one in, do two at least for some redundancy. But you might also want to go back to the website that you've quoted and look at their own range extension options. If you've got another 500 quid in the budget you could throw in a 2km short range LOS transceiver - save the digging...! http://hdcctv.co.uk/products/wireless-options
  20. I'm with Chapel End Charlie and Pap on this one. Anything that Ennio Morricone has done is pure genius. That said, my wife gives me grief because not only do I like the music to, but I also like this film: An acquired taste maybe - but I loved it...!
  21. Stop picking holes mate, Alpine wants a new kit and he wants if ****in' now, ok.
  22. The only teary eyed halfwit is you....!!!! Players come and players go, that's football, that's how it has always been. Channon, Shearer, Bale, Walcott all of them (and hundreds more) great players, but they all went. After they went, we as a club got on with it. That's how football works. There are a few who have sugar daddies and so life for them is somewhat easier - they will always sit at the pinnacle of the football hierarchy. For the rest of us we have to make our way in the football world - that's life. We were the 8th best team in the country last year - great season to be a Saints fan. Next season we could well get relegated - but I'll still be a Saints fan. So while we get on with supporting Saints why not go sit in the corner and cry a while you teary eyed halfwit.
  23. Oohhhh eerrrrrrr real bad day on Saintsweb I see. Poch has packed his bags and left for London, meanwhile nobody noticed Glasgow Saint sneaking in the back door. This place goes into meltdown, apparently the board are rotten to the core and don't have a clue. My bet is something like this, on 16 August 2014, 12 blokes in red and white (stripes?) will take the field and the crowd will go mental. They have done for the last 100 years and will do for the next 100 years. Some of you need to calm down, the journey is not for 5 years, it's for life.
