on topic, has anyone's company got involved with this bike scheme where you get about 50% off any bike and can pay it back in installments?

Also, because once you've woken up the frustration keeps you awake but you perceive it as it's the snoring that's keeping you up when it's actually you obsessing about it i.e. keeping the mind active.

Thats good enough for me Laughing out loud

Right, I need a new computer chair, I will use it quite a bit so want something that's ergonomically sound. Would also like it to look good. Any recommendations or decent websites to look through. Oh and dont want to spend more than £100 if possible

yeah, ive done it. its worth doing if your employer is registered with the scheme. the value of the bike divided by 12 is taken from your salary each month before tax, so it wont be 50% off though….

Yeah, I got mine from Ikea, it was only about £50, leather and really comfy, lasted me well, although I doubt its ergonomical, definately worth a look

I'm going to London today to hit the shops and my mate wants to drive. Where is best to park if I want to go to the Oxford Circus/Regent Street area. Or is a stupid idea to drive and shall we just get the train instead?

Average sort of weight pair, like some dunks costs about £14-16 signed for. Standard airmail can be less than a tenner.

Anyone got a fashion management degree?

i've got one of these


the best office chair ever imo, incredibly comfortable and great for support etc

i think they cost £1K new but you can pick them up from £150 or so depending on condition and extras

may be worth checking an office clearance place as you can get some bargains
