    Work Uniform...

    its more the fact that there are 6 of us told to wear a uniform and the rest of the business can wear 'formal business wear' as per the staff handbook... don't get me wrong im not wanting to rock the boat... i just find it strange that the 6 of us on the service desk have to wear a uniform when...

    At the end of my tether with my dog - Anyone any ideas?

    this might sound a bit silly, but we had a similar issue with our old dog, it was never any issue with my grandad untill he needed his hip doing, then afterwards once he got the limp she wouldnt go anywhere near him, took a while for her to get over it and would only go near once he was sat down...

    How many shots have you taken...

    my 1000d is just over 3 years old now, and its taken 65k (give or take a few hundred) its covered many a holiday/gig/motorsport/sports so its had its fair share of use, it deserves to be retired off for a 7d, but i just cant afford the step up :(

    7dayshop batteries

    i use the 2900 batteries in my canon 430exII, find them really good, but they do loose charge pretty quickly once they are down to about half charge, more than good enough if you can get a few packs and keep them fully charged :)

    Border collie, 4 month old problems

    we did this with our greyhound (allbe it with just the scruff of the neck) and worked well for us, also did the same with an alsation we had to house-sit after it attacked the GF, this was a bit of a fight to get a 3 year old alsation down on the floor, but it worked :)

    Don't you hate...

    if we go out for a meal/eating at home phones go on silent and are put in the middle of the table, the first person to pick up/answer the phone/look at facebook has to clean the dishes or pay for the meal, works pretty well and makes for good entertainment when family are over too :)
