    Parking at Gatwick

    Gatwick parking is really expensive and there aren't many sit-down food options landside (a spoons and Giraffe at South, nothing North?). The Sofitel at North might be able to offer you parking if you book a table at one of their restaurants perhaps? I'd be tempted to stop somewhere else en route.

    'last minute' hotel deals

    Accor group's Happy Mondays promotion can offer quite cheap rooms for the weekend ahead, especially in London.

    Contactless card question

    Contactless generally auths a transaction offline, so it'll go through regardless of the state of the underlying account (no balance, fraud blocked, closed etc). This is conceptually very similar but unrelated to floor limits.

    Eating out in London

    Mestizo and Sardo are both about five minutes away. Shaker Company, Euston Tap and Bree Louise are good drinking spots.

    Surely this is false advertising then?

    File a complaint with the ASA if you're concerned. You can do it online in less than five minutes and a real person will email you back in a couple days to let you know whether they're taking the case forward.

    How to interpret a performance review?

    Sounds like they were doing end of year reviews for everyone. You, being relatively new, were only notionally taken through the process whereas next year you'll be properly assessed for payrise/bonus/promotion.

    Check my spec (£450-600 range)

    I assume that one will fit with the cooler?

    Check my spec (£450-600 range)

    Thanks. I think I'll go for the i5. What does the tall RAM mean? It won't fit? Does the PSU look about right?

    Check my spec (£450-600 range)

    Hi Guys, Please can you give my spec a once over before I order? It's replacing a computer from 2008 (!) that's used as a general-purpose PC and for some gaming every now and then. Ideally I'd like this one to last another six years. There isn't really any cost pressure on the budget, but I'd...

    Any business owners aware of marketting laws? (Texts/letters etc)

    The relevant regulations are Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and The Data Protection Act. At a minimum, you should already be registered with the Information Commissioner's Office. They have some great guides to the relevant regs.

    Car Hire, Italy

    Hired a Fiat Panda from Locauto at Pisa airport for a few days in Tuscany. Italian drivers are a bit mental but otherwise everything was fine.

    Starbucks gold rewards

    I have a gold card - there's one next to my office which I pop onto when I'm in the mood for something fancier than a filter coffee. They do a lot of offers, which makes it easy to keep the gold status and you can occasionally get Starbucks gift cards at large discounts to face value at Groupon...

    Best time to book flights to America

    If you want to see some extra places on the way, there's a £525 fare that's an 88h itinerary with two nights in Reykjavik and another overnight in Vancouver! The £523 via Reykjavik and Toronto is more sensible, but you've got fairly tight 2h connections, so could be some issues if one of your...

    Airport lounges, anyone use them? More specifically T1 Manchester?

    They had some excellent brownies out when I was there.

    Credit Card Company trying it on?

    Payment Services Regulations require that most payments (including paying your credit card) are completed on or before the next business day. The three day allowance expired on 1st Jan 2012.

    Uber Taxi

    The company seems a bit dodgy, but the service is excellent and the prices are fair. I'm therefore maybe not a 'big fan' but certainly a very satisfied customer.
