    I thought the Jesus juicer had cured all known human diseases?
  3. Just a bit of friendly advice, you might want to list the size, colour and clarity of the diamond in the advert as it can make a huge difference to the value
  4. IMO there are too many variables to give you a sure answer, e.g how long have the sellers been waiting for a sale, how desperate are they to move, is the house under / over priced to start with, how much do they need the money etc etc. The same goes for your situation really, would you be heartbroken if you lose out on this particular house or would you just move on and look for another one? We bought our house about six months ago, had an offer rejected and went straight back in with another one £2k higher which was accepted... wasn't exactly a tough negotiation on our part but we fell in love with the place when we saw it, so we felt it was worth the higher offer.
  5. Your second post doesn't seem to tie in with your first, you claim to be all for the advancement of medical science but an operation that saves a young man's life (who has a baby daughter), is unacceptable because it is playing god?
  6. May be a silly question but are your insurance company involved too? They should be fighting your corner to get his insurance to pay out.
  7. Personally I find it easy to distinguish police cars from plumbers, AA vans, security vans etc by their blue flashing lights rather than orange ones!

    We stayed in Kalamaki about 3.5 years ago, the place was lovely, nice restaurants, sensible prices, good selection of bars, friendly locals etc. The bars even had double glazing to pull across the entrance at midnight to keep the street quiet, we loved it. We walked along the beach to Laganas one day and it was chav central, a bottle of soft drink cost about £4, it was full of shops selling typical tourist crap and fast food restaurants. At that point we could've been in Ibiza, Aya Napa, Magaluf etc, the place had no character. I'm being hypocritical considering I used to go on such holidays, but I really hope the clubbing / boozing croud get bored of Zakynthos and leave before it loses everything that's good about it. Oh, and enjoy your holiday
  9. It was free, made me feel a bit guilty about leaving sky almost immediately afterwards! We went from a communial dish to a standard one too.
  10. I transferred mine recently and it was surprisingly easy. They installed the new dish exactly when promised and I didn't need to start a new contract - which makes it really easy to switch to freesat in a few months time if you want to leave sky.
  11. I bought a Yale wireless alarm from screwfix, very easy to install, surprisingly cheap and the add ons like key fobs etc are excellent. You can add extra bits to it easily. If i wasn't on my phone i'd post a link :-)
  12. I'm glad you got a good result..... there's no need to thank everyone for their advice
  13. IIRC not exceeding light speed is a part of the theory of general relativity, speeding up increases an object's mass which in turn increases the energy needed to accelerate it further - and the mass just keeps on rising as you approach light speed meaning enough energy doesn't exist in the universe to accelerate something beyond it. But all this is based on objects that exist in the universe, not the speed of expansion of the universe itself.
  14. Sounds like I've misunderstood it then In that case leaving aside my bad analogy of black holes, I don't see any reason why the universe's expanding couldn't exceed 'C'.
