Re: Immigration into the US: How Popular Among Europeans?

Errr....most of us are already here and we're mostly Brits, so bit pointless...

And $20K isn't well off and no where near likely to be leaving you enough cash to go the investors route, so you might...

Re: OK a Wii and Smart TV question

That is definitely the easiest and cheapest way of doing things, better than the R/W/Y jobby. Monocable is another good site that usually have it for a couple bucks and has a decent return policy,...

Aye, it's all very weird. Had a friend who got laid off, the company finance department had already done payroll so they got paid.

Couple of days later the company pulled the money back because the...

Re: UK passport renewal in USA - does beard = countersignature?

Aye, if in doubt, ask the manager at your local bank, kids teacher, whoever, to just sign it.

But now you mention the beard, how unruly is it? :D

Re: Movie Reviews

Outback

The CGI movie based on the koala bear....well I thought it was pretty dire, but the kids, 2 and 5, both sat there enamoured by it, so good enough for me.

2/10 for me, 10/10 for keeping the...

Re: The Recipe Thread

Have one in, or perhaps a banana pepper, or something. You really don't get a hot kick out of it after it has cooked down, but it does cut the sweetness down :)

Re: Daughter eligibility for a British passport

Your advice is still poor.

You were making it sound as if that advice is true across the board, when it is not.

Material facts such as you living in the UK makes a massive important...

Re: LAX-LON airline choices

Logan airport is a cock and you definitely wouldn't make it if you only had 36 minutes.

Looked at a stop off in Toronto or Montreal?

Re: Address for US Bank Account

Definitely notice a lot of smaller, indie type stores not accepting it and especially in quieter towns/tourist areas.

Re: Moving to Los Angeles in 4 weeks ... need advice

Re: Moving to Los Angeles in 4 weeks ... need advice

Not you using the realtor, the landlord.

If the market favours the landlord, the potential tenant ends up paying the fee, which is the case down our way.

Re: Moving to Los Angeles in 4 weeks ... need advice

Is that budget enough?

Factor in first, last, anything up to 3 months rent as security, plus anything from 1-3 months rent as the realtors finders fee and that's a lot of cash to sign up a lease.

Re: Daughter eligibility for a British passport

Your advice is pretty poor.

There is a difference and a big important one for parents who are not born in the UK to pass on their citizenship and it's been mentioned in this thread as well as others.

Re: Copy - Dropbox Alternate

Aye, DB is good, but I was a bit slow off the bandwagon with that as I never liked the interface, so don't have all that much space on it.
