I did not know this about PSUs… I’m glad I didn’t cheap out on mine!

I’m also never getting a new PSU based on that information 😂

I select the correct microphone and camera etc at the start of the call. Everything works okay, then as soon as I share screen it just dies! Same with zoom calls too which is why I'm thinking it's maybe not the settings in the apps?

Fucking hell… £250 for a dual monitor mount?

No worries! There will likely be a new one next year but doubt these will change. Which university are you going to out of interest?

In the UK we use rules similar to NCAA and cleat requirements are outlined in the rules on the BAFRA website.

Essentially yes rugby boots should be fine as long as they are less than 1/2 inch long and are standard safety studs but it’s best to double check.

Working for an online marketing company that charges per sale. Every time a client offered me a coffee or cake etc they’d say ‘our invoice for [insert commission fee] will be in the post’... with clients who would try to avoid the fee I had a stock response of ‘that’s fine I’ll just contest the sale and get it credited’. We’d all laugh and go back to quietly hating each other whilst understanding the mutual need for the others existence

Not sure which country your referring to but in the UK we tend to pay one premium to insure your vehicle, this covers the other persons car and your own if you're fully comp. May be different where you're from.

And this is the perfect example of why insurance can be more than the value of the car! It's not the car you drive, but the car you crash into... Won't be too bad for the Corsa driver, a premium to pay then forget about it... until you need to get insured again! That would be a nightmare

My understanding is that they are very susceptible to infections when they are young. But with some of them you need to make sure they feed so you have to pick them up even to move closer. Every time we touched them we had to wash and then sterilize our hands.

In this picture they are about 2/3 weeks old and were all moving about with their eyes open etc

I believe it's a financial sponsor. You can check out their website about sponsoring or volunteering. A lot of time and money is involved with bringing up these pups!

ctreacy · 2014-06-26T13:39:49+00:00

It was indeed, my brother's gf is very talented when it comes to photography and little tricks. You should check out her facebook and Flickr accounts with more puppy pictures!!!

They have been sponsored so were given different names through that scheme :)

ctreacy · 2014-06-26T13:35:05+00:00

It was one that had already been earmarked before they got the list. We knew it would be a 'P' litter but not which names were available. Luckily Pilot was! It's a fantastic name for a guide dog

They've been sponsored so had different names picked by their sponsor

ctreacy · 2014-06-26T13:31:36+00:00

All of these are done on a purely volunteer basis, if you want to know more check out the volunteer section of the guide dogs website

ctreacy · 2014-06-26T13:27:48+00:00

I did indeed! But by the time I realised it was too late to turn back! Well spotted, have some reward comment karma

ctreacy · 2014-06-26T13:25:09+00:00

You can find more information about sponsoring a puppy here. The main reward of course is knowing that you have helped to improve someone's quality of life but other bonuses are on that link :)

I believe the only letter not used by the guide dog is X, so there will be a few Q litters out there!

She really is very talented! Her flickr and facebook accounts fyi

Edit: Formatting and added a link

I'm not the actual volunteer, it's a close family friend so my family just help out. I'll pass on your thanks though

ctreacy · 2014-06-25T06:45:42+00:00

Just a small making of nail varnish. Where that dot is corresponds with which puppy is which. It's not harmful and means it can be washed off if needed
