    Sorta lets you know how the country feels when Cameron goes in to a series of cheers and shouts from the crowd. And I told ya...it's Tory/Lib Dem....

    Brown has quit the leadership too Bookie.

    Very, very pleased with the new PM, let's watch him shake it all up :T


    Me too, am well pleased

    I LOVE British Politcs, its the only time I wish I had taken a career in politics rather than education, I really find it so exciting.

    New PM spoke well anyway. Is his wife expecting?
    They can all shut up now though surely.

    Just got back from meeting which is why I missed it all. I guess it's too late for dinner for me but definitely wine o'clock.

    They aren't *that* expensive.



    Do you mean a USB hard drive? Otherwise, Windows will kill a flash disk in fairly short order. And you will have to know what you're doing.

    hey ZTD well £40 is expensive to me :(

    21k a year and a family of 5 means very little spare money (and just had 6 birthdays in 6 weeks and got my MOT in 3 weeks had our oven die a just before Christmas etc etc basically all my little pots of savings have been used up at the moment)

    anyways no i meant USB flash drive since i dont use windows if i can help it, i use ubuntu which can be installed and run from usb flash drive

    anyways MONSTER HAPPINESS managed to get ubuntu reinstalled by quarantining the damaged sectors on the hard drive, ok only temporary fix but hopefully should last for another month or 2
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
