the registration process is pants - i noticed this too. But if you look carefully, it says "welcome Katie" - i think under the login box. Then if you want to go into the properties link for example, it asks you to login again.

Pretty daft! HTH, Kate.

Head - bang - wall - hurt - the give way rule:

1. If you are going straight ahead, give way to all vehicles coming straight through from your right.
2. If you are turning, give way to all vehicles not turning.
3. If you are turning left, give way to vehicles coming towards you that are turning right.
4. If you are turning right, give way to vehicles on your right that are turning right.
5. If you are leaving the path of the centre line, you are turning. You must give way to vehicles that are following the centre line.

so do you ever get around to making your manoevre then?!! :eek:

I used nzcity.co.nz as my homepage, it has all the national headlines, weather,etc, you can personalise it as well. Also, I've downloaded desktop pictures from www.vnz.co.uk, bit sad of me, but there are some gorgeous scenes, too keep you inspired on a miserable, rainy day ;)

The discount is for car hire through Thrifty, and you can still find cheaper rentals,unless you really want/need to hire through a main chain.

Re: The Really Useful Thread
 

Just thought i'd share with you all a number to get cheap call to NZ

It's called 'Phonecheap' and works out to be 1p per minute from a BT line...my mum's used it too from another provider and i think was charged the same, but can't be 100% sure on that (i think with other providers the 1p per min's the same but some charge a connection fee...not sure what providers do this or how much they charge)

We were a bit unsure to begin with so did a couple of calls and then waited for the bill to arrive and sure enough we were charged the 1p with no connection fee as we're with BT

So i pay 1p per min to NZ

the number is -

0844 861 3838

you then when they tell you to add the country code

0064

then the number you're dialing but miss off the first 0


so if a number is for example 03 566 4444 (made up no) you will put in 3 566 4444


so all together you'll do

0844 861 3838 (wait for prompt to add rest...then add the number you want to dial...for example) 3 566 4444 followed by # (hash key)

it's really simple and cheap so you can stay on twice as long or ring more often without clock watchin

hope this helps Mandie
