Thanks for the recommendation. That's a bit out of my price range. Got any idea of the specs I need to look for to be able to run what I'm suggesting?

Hi I'm looking to get myself a laptop, and am in dire need of advice on what specs to look for to maximise longevity of use vs. cost. Use: It'll mostly be used for web browsing/ flash videos,music, watching movies/ TV, office, maybe some CAD drawing, and probably older games. Gaming wise...

Well you can't carry any weapons without risking a prison sentence, so all you can do is get local advice on the mugging/ gang hangouts of the area; park your car somewhere well lit close to your work; take routes along main roads and busy areas. Keep your headphones out walking quiet places at...

Well, I know who Ed Byrne hates: Anything by Jared Leto leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. For my money he's just a 40 odd year old guy who needs to wake up and realise he can't keep acting like a 17 year old with false impressions of how profound his ideas are. But he's over 40...

Salicylic acid based cleansers work for me too

Are you male or female? If you're female there are a wider range of prescription options for you. I recommend you try a retinoid based anti-inflammatory like Differin gel. It won't make them vanish overnight, but it definitely helped me in my recovery period when I got skin problems. The...

Sounds like overall good news then? I recommend a dose of Devin Townend's album Ghost. Start you off with this: Or Weebl's stuff, for silliness and fun?

I'll just add a useful tip I've stumbled on recently: If you, like me, like to do skipping for a bit of cardio whilst watching TV; but do not really have room to swing a skipping rope, get a metronome and jump on the clicks. Most go to ~200 bpm, so that'll last you a while, and if you exceed...

I know someone somewhere will see that as reasonable, but I'll never understand why (Also: Called it. I knew they'd try for a price hike ~ 1/3 for this generation). There's no way the majority of game releases will offer a good entertainment time: cost ratio at that price point. I'm sticking...

You're right OP. Microsoft have managed to bring us a controlling, paranoid, money grabbing girl/ boy friend in video game console form, and that's quite an accomplishment in itself. Not to mention all the great experience we'll get operating and managing the 'features' of this obnoxious box...

Summer music festivals(there are cheaper ones than Reading etc: http://www.thefestivalcalendar.co.uk/) or Centre parcs and similar holiday camps may be your best bet then. Any campsite around the UK should give similar opportunities to meet people, but it depends how outgoing your neighbors...

I think a lot of people who get married very young have a bit of a fairy tale idea of marriage in their mind when they do it. They seem to think that being married will inherently make their personal bond stronger and forget it's really just down to them to decide how committed they are to each...

I can't remember the last time I heard a rap song I liked. Generally I dislike the focus on materialism, narcissism, the gansta bullshit, superficiality. Most of my exposure to rap has been from mainstream sources though, and most pop music follows the same trends. I'm hoping those people are...

Some people wonder if they've missed a hidden gem in the game that unlocks another level of fun and experimentation. Others wonder if they need to get to a certain point in the game before it really picks up. These are the less pessimistic answers, which probably account for more of these...

Where in the UK do you live and what do you like doing? I'm guessing the petrol cost is something you'll want to consider. As much as it has a bit of a stigma, South Wales has a fair bit going for it; if you like beaches (sandy ones) and the outdoors. It's pretty quick and easy to get to...
