  1. Newcastle Saint here (the northern Newcastle ;-))

     

    Due to the arrival of my baby boy this year, pennies are tight so I only expect to make a few northern away games. Good to hear Northern Saints is still running strong - been a couple of years since I met up with you lads!

  2. Please don't list something with a minimum price (and no reserve) if you're not willing to allow it to sell for that price. It's a pain in the arse for buyers. Always use a reserve or start the price at a realistic level you'd accept.

     

    We recently bought something for £10 and then the seller decided they didn't want to honour the auction because they wanted more for it. Infuriating and against eBay rules. Needless to say we reported them to eBay and their account (with 100+ feedback) was closed.

     

    Put it this way ... if you put something forward for sale at a normal auction (eg, a car or antique) without a reserve - if it sells you CANNOT change your mind.

  3. Don't buy from Laptops Direct. Incredibly bad experience with them and poor customer service. Tossers.

     

    I got a Toshiba Satellite P200 via them and had no problems. I got it on a Buy Now Pay in 6 Months credit deal ... settled up just before the 6 months so got the credit interest free :-) Great laptop too - recommended.

  4. Bottom line is that it's not compatible with Chrome (not many g/m scripts are).

     

    You tried a fresh install of Firefox?

     

    Might be worth grabbing a free app called Revo Uninstaller - forcibly removing Firefox & all associated reg keys using it, and then reinstalling.

  5. The penalty was a tough call ... whether it actually hit his hand or not is academic. The referee has to make a decision on the spot having only seen it once in real time. We've all got the luxury of Setanta replays and even then it's hard to see.

     

    He shouldn't have given the referee the chance to make the decision by jumping with his arm next to his head. It was stupid.

     

    Regardless ... lets not kid ourselves. We're being outplayed by a better team.

  6. And why does your license need to carry your address anyway???? Surely it'd be more sensible to just store the info in the DLVA database & reference via the license number. I can't see the need to have it printed on the card and therefore need to pay to have the card reproduced every time you move house.

  7. If the DVLA didn't charge such extortionate prices to update your license address I am sure more people would make the effort to keep them correct. As a student I moved house 4 times in 4 years and again after I had graduated. I'll be ****ed if I'm paying £20 a pop to update it, if it'll change again in a year.

     

    I'm not saying they shouldn't charge anything, but there needs to be some sensible middle ground.

     

    Oh and I got points recently. A couple of weeks after producing and receiving back my license I got a letter in the post reminding me my license address was wrong and it is an offence, etc.
