You don't get a fixed rate to save money, you get one so that your outgoings are predictable, which is kinda handy if it's your first purchase.

New builds are nice - you shouldn't have rat/mice/leaking/subsidence. On the other hand The sound insulation can be shite, even though there are building regs...

That as I write this Stefan's avatar is dancing to Fleetwood Mac.

Simon beat me to it. If you got in on a credit card that makes things much easier.

It's also possible that you could move house, but keep the mortgage. Might be worth enquiring. Bear in mind though that they will almost certainly try and sell you something (even a new mortgage) You'd probably have to pay a small admin fee, and they'd need to survey the new property to make sure it's worth enough & not about to fall down or be bulldozed, but you two are already underwritten, so that's a whole bunch of admin that you shouldn't have to pay for. Sod's law you'll have to speak to a few 'computer says no' or 'not our policy, have a new mortgage' morons before you actually find out whether you can or not. As for savings, have a look at ISAs. tax free growth, and if you are higher rate taxpayers, that's not to be sniffed at.

Yeah, you need root. Basically in PC world it would be that you're looking to reinstall Windows. Root = permission to (amongst other things) overwrite the previous android installation. It could be that you want to overwrite with a stock ROM, or cyanogen's version or or or, but you need root.

Funnily enough, I never lose my keys.

Born in '92, just for the record...

Which one are you?

I thought we were trying to clean up VT? Smut peddler. Give it a rest will you, nobody is trying to "clean up VT". Was only joking, could have been worse, he could have had fudge. Not wanting to go back over old ground, but my friend's dog is called Fudge.

I always look at Tom's Hardware first off. This is in USD: Best Graphics Cards For The Money: May 2013

Christ I haven't even been over to on topic, let alone posted there for bloody years!

Gotta say, props to Rob. Just cooked his peanut curry recipe. Fuggen awesome. I love you. In a heterosexual way, obviously.

Rob, have you thought of paving? Added bonus is that you can hide things under it.

Anything at all anywhere ever where the presenter says "And the winner is..." The theatrical pauses just get longer and longer.

A very easy and effective way to fight is to sign the above mentioned petition. When I last looked it had 60000 signatures. Also this morning barristers on the south east circuit voted unanimously to oppose these QASA assessment proposals.

Combover? How very dare you!

Medium rare. Actually I like it rare, but they tend to be cold by the time they get to my table, so medium rare it is.

This is my sexy face.

Ah, I thought it might be an FAQ you see... Anyway, thanks. That kind of makes sense. As you were!

The key is SG, that our glorious government want to change things so that in the future you're unlikely to get legal aid. And if you read carefully you'll see that the barrister defending tried again and again to get access to the pictures, but was ignored. As to your last point, dunno! Maybe because there were details in the blog posts that weren't in the public domain? BTW - IANAL!

Best of Depeche Mode. It's not a singles collection, nor is it their greatest hits. Just best of. End of.

I wanted to upload a picture - I've used imageshack in the past, but I thought I'd do it via VT. There's a "My Media" button above the reply box to search for media you've uploaded, but I can't find how to actually upload...
