My parents Panasonic failed after about 4 years - thankfully they'd purchased it from a place that gave a 5 year guarantee. There are actually a lot of places that give longer than 12 months, and certainly more than 2 - to name three, Costco (5 years), Richer Sounds (6 years), John Lewis (5...

This. I wear a black north face jacket to/from work, and never thought anything of it. I'd be surprised if anyone else had ever thought anything of it either...

Over the course of a year, about 8 weeks. At one time, 4 weeks - with a 36 hour gap in the middle when they sent me home, but had to be rushed back the next day...

Go find/start a hobby. I felt that my circle of London friends was dwindling slightly (mainly as people got partners and moved outside of the M25), and have met a whole new group of people that way.

Yep. I'm amazed BMW managed to make a car as ugly as the 5GT. 3GT on the other hand is quite nice, in my opinion.

4 weeks/1 month is a pretty standard notice period, and most employers I've worked for would expect that. As the new company are advertising a maternity contract, if they have been smart, they'll have advertised early enough that they hopefully wouldn't need you to start sooner than giving...

Sadly I think you're right. At a previous employer, we advertised our entry level jobs at the Job Centre. The quality of application was appauling. On more than one occasion, I was tempted to write to the office and tell them "if this is how someone is applying for jobs, it's no wonder they...

While I love my Volvo S60, the boot space is not great and not something I'd suggest for the OP. My dad picked up a brand new pre-registered (but no mileage) 3 month old Passat for about £19k 2 months ago. Boot is absolutely huge. It seems to be the obvious choice...

Lovely car :) Hope it gives you many miles of happy motoring!

I'd second spareroom.co.uk, though you might struggle to get somewhere for only 2 months (many will ask for 3/6 months minimum). I also used airbnb when I first moved to London at rather short notice. Let me finalise everything on a place to stay and move in 10 days later.

I've tried quite a few, but my personal favourite is Finlandia vodka. Bonus is that it's available in most of the duty free shops.

All of the above. I'd also add 'The Good Wife'. Six great seasons with the final seventh season airing in the USA at the moment.

This. And/or to get the bill if I'm staying on business.

...and even then, you can have the aerial hooked up for the radio stations! I think it's about time they made this change to include iPlayer. However, longer term, I do feel we either need to: a) Have the license fee included as part of council tax b) Scrapped, and the BBC funded out of...

One of my friends has one of these but with a manual. Very nice car and very nice place to be. Personally, it's the one I'd pick from the three, but that's more based on history than having read recent reviews of the new Astra.

At my local retail park, in the space of a couple of hundred yards, we have: 1) Carphone Warehouse (Standalone) 2) Carphone Warehouse within Currys 3) Carphone Warehouse within PCWorld (literally next to the Currys, with a road between them) I can completely see why they might want to...

I read this earlier and was completely shocked. I really cannot understand what the teachers were thinking. People fought and died for the freedoms we have in the UK now, and it seems more and more that 'political correctness' is being used to limit discussion and debate... or in this case...

Agree with these three! Brilliant shows that I think could have ran and ran.

Some great new devices... but feel we're still missing something decent in the mid-range to replace my trusty Lumia 735!

Yep. Pretty much ignore anything that isn't on Steam these days - and in all honesty, there's very little worth buying which isn't on Steam, or that I can't buy digitally for the xbox one.
