anyway, has anyone here used www.youngmarmalade.com? it is a business that sells cars on hire purchase and also provides insurance. i think it would be ideal for me because i'm on a relatively low wage and can't afford to buy a car outright and get insurance at the same time. with the young marmalade scheme you don't pay insurance for the first year and can get a ford fiesta 1.4 style or zetec for about £160/month for 5 years. i think the insurance would cost about £80/month after the first year, i would only really be driving at weekend, because my company provides vans for on the job travelling; and i don't go anywhere that far on a weeknight :) i imagine i would be travelling possibly 120 - 150 miles a month?

any advice and tips are welcome :) thanks, ]]> Anything goes adogwithsunglasses http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138680 http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138679&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:12:06 GMT Hi guys not sure what sort response im after.

I have been told by a couple off people who have read personal letters i have writen, how amazing my writing is, i write with lot off emotion and fluency.
I thought nothing off it untill i was told i should write a book :)
This does appeal to me but i just dont know where to start, any ideas ? ]]> Creative hayley77 http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138679 http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138678&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:43:18 GMT I've been using Portable Version of Thunderbird for years now - but after trying the latest version 3b4 version I'm kind of disappointed in the development and lack of addons for Thunderbird.

I guess because it's not a cash cow money making machine like FireFox they're not that interested

Any new Portable Email Clients out there people recommend? ]]> DG http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138678 http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138677&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:34:08 GMT Hi everyone,

(I put this thread here because it has a variety of different issues)

I am an 18 year old guy. In about the past year, I have progressively changed psychologically and mentally. My whole outlook, aspirations - everything has shifted and it's shown in my behaviour and what I do day to day.

I get the idea I've become sort of a "failure", as far as society would perceive - and I certainly have not lived up to my potential at least in education. At GCSE level I did reasonable, 2A's 6B's and 2C's. However, at A-Level I only achieved a C an E and a U. Not good, considering I was on track for an A, B and C at AS-Level. I never wanted to go to University, because my career goals are more experienced based than academia (Police, Fire or Naval service) – But I wanted at least good A-Levels.

The reason I feel this has happened is due to the changes in attitude and my view of life that I’ve had the past year. I don’t even know if it’s good or bad because it’s made me less conscientious but more “free”. I don’t care for having some high-roll high-stress job, because I know that’s not going to make me happy at all – but I can’t help but feel I’ve “failed”. I just want to be comfortable, I don't wan't a family of my own, or a relationship. I want to travel, experience new things more than I care for achiving the general expectations people have.

Currently, I am unemployed seeking work. I have an Interview in a week for Hospital Portering and I have a successful application pending interview date for the Navy as an Officer (Training will begin next September).

Thing is though, I’m a mess – the past 3 months I’ve been in a real rut – depressed, unsure, off the rails. I’ve drank a fair bit of alcohol and I’ve put a fair bit of weight on (Used to be really fit and healthy). I’m an insomniac too and I’ve lost all my friends (I'm actually a bit of a loner anyway, but far from lacking in social skills etc).

I need to get myself together, find myself again but I don’t know how.

Advice appreciated ]]> LiverpoolStephen http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138677 http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138676&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:21:08 GMT Hi everyone. i was just wondering if anyone could help me with a problem ive had for about 5 or 6 years now.

Hi everyone. i was just wondering if anyone could help me with a problem ive had for about 5 or 6 years now. I used to suffer from depression from the age of 14 and went to the doctors and they stuck me on the pill to balance me out (supposedly) anyway. i had councelling and anger management and it helped sort of but not for long. anyway im now 19 and over the past couple of months ive noticed my mood swings coming back. Its not like a normal one from hormones or wotever. i get totally irrational and angry and it can last for a minute or hours. Its driving me nuts and its affecting my family and personal life and i just dont know what too do.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated :) ]]> Jess the cat http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138676 http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138675&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:17:33 GMT Hi i'm Alicia :) ]]> Introduce yourself crazylatina http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138675 http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138674&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:46:54 GMT um well i didnt know where else to put this so i thought this might be the best place, anyways.. i have this friend who died when he was in year 7 and , well, every afternoon on the way home from school i go to the graveyard and talk to him.literally. i sit on a bench and tell him everything. thing is ive started walking home from school with some new friends and one of them understands and just... um well i didnt know where else to put this so i thought this might be the best place, anyways..

Anyway techie guys, I wonder if any of you can please weigh up the pros and cons for 32-bit and 64-bit? After my main computer died in a fire last week (brand new too!), I'm looking to go Windows 7 in the New Year with a new desktop computer. I play World of Warcraft which shouldn't be a problem regardless to which 'bit' I choose but what about Age of Empires II which came out in late 1999? I'm still madly keen on Age of Empires II, even more so than AOEIII. The main thing that my OS has got to support is portable apps - Firefox, Thunderbird, Winamp, 7zip, Openoffice.org and suchlike. If I was to go 64-bit, would I have to re-download the apps? Oh, and also please, *perlease* - my beloved Paintshop Pro 7! My eyesight's too bad for Photoshop and I won't take any Corel conversions of PSP m'dear :-)

The more footage I see the more I think it's going to disappoint. Sure the graphics and all look great, but when the real people start intervening in the CG action it looks a little...stunted. I've seen some sequences with dialogue and to be honest it's hardly sparkling writing.

I don't know. Story-wise it seems pretty obvious that it's going to be another "invader goes native" flick. Methinks besides the visuals, we'll have seen it all before. ]]> Entertainment bunglenutter http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138669 http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138668&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:20:40 GMT yummy yummy & parsnips are cheap in Aldi at the moment too. ]]> katralla http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138668 http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138667&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:03:23 GMT They only have about 2,000 threads in total so we were thinking about merging the two. :chin:

The report post button appears in the right-hand corner of every single post. When you click the button you’re taken to a text entry field that allows you to send a message to every moderator who is assigned to that forum. As it says underneath the box, this can be used to notify us of anything that concerns you.



You are welcome to use the report post function as often as you feel necessary. We assure you that we’ll judge everything on an individual basis. If we won’t be taking action as a result of your reported post then we’ll contact you via private message to explain why. Otherwise, our response should be apparent on the boards - for example the spam you report will disappear, or a moderator will post in a thread that’s getting out of hand.

Private messages don’t have a report button, so if you receive something that concerns you then please report it to us by forwarding it to as many moderators as you like.

Ultimately, there’s always going to be times when you spot something before us, so by taking joint responsibility with other members for creating a positive environment, you can really help make a difference for everyone.

Basically the problem is these days every discipline/subject is so much big that you cannot grasp all the aspect of it. E.g; i am a computer science student and there are lot of things which i wanted to study and get understanding of e.g; networks, operating system, data mining etc etc . Problem is i like all of these subjects and would like to read more and more about it but whenever you start reading something it takes you to new dimension like when you are on web, and one link leads to another... and at the end you came to the point where you are not reading something for which you open wikipedia page lox...


So how basically you handle this situation or what kind of advice i can get from here to handle my mind. Though i fully understand that you cannot master everything but what i should do about that desire which wanted me to become master of everything...

Sorry if it did not make sense to you. But this is killing me. ]]> Student aboylearning http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php?t=138665
