Posted by anonymous about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 2 responses

Hi all, Its my 25th birthday next month and my friends and I are trying to think of something a bit different to do – but everything we have thought of so far is, well, naff (as is the word naff – last used circ 1988). Anyway, I would like to throw caution to the wind and ask you lovely people if yo...

Last active about 1 year ago 3 responses

I have been approached to bid for the graphic design/DTP on a new monthly magazine. However, I am relatively new to this freelancing lark – and very new to London pricing – and I wondered if I could get some feedback as to how much I should be charging. I need to come up with a design template and the...

Is there anywhere cool to go in Brent Cross or Hendon?

Last active about 1 year ago 12 responses

I’ve somehow managed to end up working in not very glamorous Brent Cross. Thankfully I still live in south London which means long tube journeys but at least get to read a lot, listen to music and be generally antisocial. Plus I have some greenery and fewer ugly concrete thngs to come back to. Anyway I’v...

Hi. Has anyone got any good ideas on where to go on a first date? I’ve been on a few first dates lately, and I’m now so bored of spending money in pubs and cocktail bars, my eyeballs bleed just thinking of those places. I wish I could just invite a lady back to my river-side balcony, and douse her in pol...

Went out last night, and stupidly forgot to go the loo before we left the pub. We then, of course, missed the last tube, so went to get the night bus. “there’ll be a loo on the way”, I think to myself, but no, even places like Macdonalds close their loos after 11 (and I was even willing to pay ...

Where can I get a tattoo removed?

I had a tattoo done when I was 20 (yes yes, young and foolish and all that) that I instantly hated. It’s a big blob on my lower back, basically. I really want to get it lasered off but I’ve no idea where would do a good job (and preferably isn’t too pricey). Does anyone have any experience of this?...

How can I make a kick-ass media CV?

Posted by KinkyFantastic about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 14 responses

As is generally unsurprising in the media, I am about to become unemployed. I’m a second-jobber with a fairly good job history, but I need to make a CV to convince people of this and also that a raise would be a really justified option. My current CV is quite swish, but apparently has too much white space, ...

I might have um…had a little accident of sorts while installing McAfee. McAfee and windows security updates/firewall seemed to be having a bit of an arguement and now my computer is crash-tastic and mad. If there is anyone out there that understand how these things work- could you help me please?

OK, before I try to explain my query let me first please assure you there is NOTHING dodgy about it! I went to get a copy of my front-door key and flat key made this lunchtime and found the front door key is apparently “patented” so I have to have a letter of authorisation from my landlord before I ca...

My girlfriend has been job hunting for a while now and it has been a pretty demoralizing experience. Despite her wealth of experience in the retail and security sector (consistently the top performer in her field and the stats to prove it) she has been told by many online agencies that she doesn’t have the sa...

I have a very sick looking tortured willow in my garden. It appears that something has been boring into the trunk and consequently slowly killing the tree. This afternoon I was strolling around my garden (it didn`t take long as my garden is quite small!) and I saw two large greenish beetles (1.5 inches) with very ...

Advice and recommendations please. Doesn’t have to be full day care just a few hours here and there so my sister can run necessary errands in the day. Her son is 11 months old. She has done some research into this but the options are either far too expensive (one even requires a uniform!) or there is no ...
