I don't mean the pop-up ads etc.... not 'poster' in the sense of billboard content. Or of course my Donny Osmond poster!

Just kidding of course... it's the Bay City Rollers of course!

Thanks

If you want to go to a specific page number enter the page number in this string - you see it at the top of the page in the web address. Replace the page number below where you see the bold in the address.

So if you want page 10 replace the 19 with a 10 and enter

If you want to go to the LAST page put in a page number that is greater than the total number of pages e.g theres 19 pages so far, so below its page 200.. (doesnt exist).... but put this in and you get straight to the end.

Im sure there are other ways to do this but I save the above and so I go there in one click.

If you want to carry on from when you last left off - its looking in the history file for the last page number..... unless someone knows of a better method.

Didn't complete last week - so nothing better to do at the moment!

Regards

Can any one advise me on this one. When we signed for our apartment we were given a copy of a standard contract in English.

It is now nearly a year after the expected date of completion and having improved my Spanish enough to understand the contract to check it through I note that the solicitor did not fill in the line on expected completion. It finishes ....estando prevista su terminacion y entrega aproximadamente ....then nothing. Surely a date should have been entered - especially as this leaves it open for the company to take as long as they like? This is aside from meeting the quality standards. We have not formally been asked to complete as yet. Do I have any recompense? I have asked my solicitor for a completed contract. Anyone else not had a date on their contract.

Hello Carol,
the same happened to us. The time "approximately" has to be less that the date of expired of your banker's reference. I mean, if the date planned is for example the first of January, you can wait until some time before the expiration of the "aval bancario" and you have to take into account that the expiry date is one year. If not, you can threaten to put into effect your banker's reference.
i don't know if i have explained it good enough with my poor English.
I hope it can help

marisol

Think it might be an idea to combine both.

and there lies my gripe.


Wales are on fire, maybe not as good as France, but by far the best team after France, and they should have chewed Scotland a new arse, but something was lacking yesterday and I cant quite put my finger on it.

I have put money on Wales to win the tournament, but if they play like that against France, they are dead in the water.

It was a good enough win, not nearly as good and inspired as the win against England, as there is no honour in defeating a significantly weaker side, but a win all the same.



I still hate the Welsh!
