Given how short they are at the moment I would have thought you should get Valencia as well for your money.

I'm going to Barcelona next weekend.

I'll check it out for you.

I'm thinking that an initial offer of EUR 1,000,000 will work :eek:

I saw a race last night where every other lap the last person dropped out which I thought was quite a fun concept given that cycling round a small circle isn't inherently that exciting...

The fact that I now know what the Omnium is, will make this Olympics memorable for me :beer:

Good luck CK, must be horrible for you. As your Mum is a doc, is there anything she can do by telephone?

Can't avoid the cost, but with Dulux Weathershield (must be trade, not standard) it's 8 years, so half the cost.

Absolutely.
Ours was done in 2005 and no sign of needing anything yet.

My mum is a doc, and worked in Georgia, then Ukraine (1986 to 1988) (and then trained doctors at the Isani Military Hospital) for 2 years, before returning to Europe, but she's Swedish qualified and a Swedish national, which makes things more complicated when discussing care plans.

She shows on the GMC as Swedish-registered for this reason, and they're refusing to deal with her without seeing her, as she is legally still (and always has been) a Larsson.

It's a pain the the @r5e!

oh yes i agree with that, if you are going to buy a second home to be close to work then your door to door journey should be 30 mins max, and preferably just a 5-10 minute walk. (although in some ways that could be counter productive a if i lived 5 minutes away from work i would spend more time there, having to leave to get the last train home is sometimes pretty useful!).

If it were our main home last trains din 't help......work provided taxis you see.

However, dh has often been considered in the friday last train out of london consideration.

And then I was told that it's got a 2 recordings limit - and if there are 2 recordings going on then you can't watch a 3rd channel. A system that works great in a 1-person household no doubt

yeah, as i understand it, it's got 2 separate inputs from the dish, both of which can separately show a channel, therefore the box sees 2 channels at any one time and you choose which one it shows on the screen.

we don't normally have a problem with it as it is pretty rare that you want to watch/record three different programmes at the same time. when you do, then you can usually make use of the +1 channels and repeats.

We did ours twice in 21 years. Used the good stuff, and DIY'ed 2 coats each time.

Of course, if it was a bungalow, PN could also DIY at the cost of materials only.
