Hi I can probably help but need a bit more information. I work a lot with dates and not so much with time. What I would do if I were you is to convert the seconds into a number. So: If you imagine I have to work out for example the number of years and days between two dates lets say...
You are correct (i was trying I suppose to say that the Golf 1.8T could take it as it is based on the same chassis etc as the Audi TT) But apparently the same works for the TDI (1.8) it actually develops a bit less BHP but is a massive improvement.
I have a Golf GTi 1.8 Turbo. It is the most comfortable car in its class. I drive long distances pretty regularly and find that when I arrive at the destination I am still very relaxed and don't feel that I have just driven for hours on end. I would say however that I have had the Standard...
I have. Have any of you seen About A Boy with Hugh Grant? Well the bar/restaurant that he goes to with his dates etc is called Bar Otto in St Johns Wood (London,UK). It was my friend's engagement party. At the back of the bar we had a reserved seating area. Anyway he was messing around...
Hi I live and work in London. There is a huge amount to do on virtually no budget. 1) All national museums are free. Victoria & Albert, Wallace Collection, Natural History Museum etc. All excellent and worth visiting if just to look at the buildings themselves. 2) Food. If you want...
Thanks for the quick replies. I was just a bit confused as to the difference between smart casual and business casual. I now assume that they are one and the same.
London Underground (The Tube)is quite easy once you get the hang of it. I guess the only daunting thing for me is the number of lines and the number of stations on the NY Subway. Also it will be a lot cheaper than the tube fares here. Thanks chaps
$700 is around £440. Seems like a lot of money - is a lot of money. I think I will pass on spending that much. But thanks for the suggestions. Only another 18 days to go! Zak
Well finally my trip is approaching, thanks to everyone's input in suggestions of places to see and things to do. I have one problem - I am trying to sort out a venue for New Years Eve - I ideally want to go to a restaurant with some entertainment - whether it is a singer or just some dancing...
I recently bought a pair of Lowa Mountain Boots - Goretex lined. I wanted an all leather boot rather than the fabric types for durability. Lowa's are really hard to find in the UK. I had to settle for the military boot. They are very comfortable.
Whilst hunting I found this...
Hi Once again thanks. Just one more very quick question: Apart from the obvious shops on Fifth Avenue and the department stores where else is there? Are there any discount centres or outlets? Also this being HTF any discount DVD outlets? Thanks Zak BTW The London Underground...
Once again guys (and girls) I want to thank you for the all the restaurnants and places to go. I am just collating all the info so that I can plan days. I am really looking forward to it. I hope it is either cold or warm - I hate the rain. We have enough rain here. Gotta start seriously...
Wow, thanks a lot Stephen - I really appreciate the time. I have 6 nights so I will pick one from each of the price levels. I will definitely try the Second Avenue Deli - can't beat a kosher salt beef on rye sandwich with a huge gherkin! Anytime you are in London I can give you a list of...
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been keeping up with all the posts - time difference means I am leaving work when you guys start lunch. Thanks for all the suggestions. I really do appreciate it. It is difficult when you don't know a place to avoid getting caught up in all 'guide book' stuff...
We do tip at the table between 10 & 15 %. But hardly anywhere else - maybe the cab home if it is a long journey. So a variable weather pattern - could be London. Are we talking wet or dry though? Can't stand it when it is wet AND cold unless it is snow of course. I want to avoid touristy...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am definitely going to check out a few of those places Josh - I like the idea of the diner at 4am. Thanks for the other suggestions Michael and Scott. The Taverna looks pretty cool - might have to check out how much a New Year dinner is going to cost there.
I...
I guess you are right. My concern I suppose was that things may close over New Year as they do here. I am really keen on seeing the 'real' New York. The kind I see in Seinfeld or Friends. I mean if I went to Greenwich Village where should I eat? I want to go to Atlantic City - is there a...
Hi Guys As a Londoner this will be my first trip to the Big Apple. I have booked my trip over New Year. My girlfriend has been singing the Sinatra song already - might be travelling solo if she carries on! Just wanted to know what is worth or not worth seeing whilst out there. Also if...
Hi I am really sorry to hear about your sad loss. I have grown up with dogs and each has been my best friend. Who else sits up all night waiting for you to come home and still wags his tail? I found this (author unknown) a little whilst ago which I thought was really moving. It is well...
The Ultimate Feel Good Movies for me are:

It Could Happen to You
I am sure I have a few more - if I could only remember them.
This is probably the crassest question anyone is going to ask.
I have a Sony STR DB940 (which I love) and B&W 603 s2's and the CC6 centre. My rears are Celestion. All are 8 ohm rated.
Now I was just dusting and making sure all my connections were okay on the receiver and saw the 4ohm/8 ohm...
I recently discovered a solution to all those bits of dust that collect in the various components of my Home Theater.
Basically I bought a decorators brush (the softer the better) I then used electrical tape to cover all the metal and sharp edges that might scratch anything.
Use the brush to...
I have had very similar problems with a UK supplier. They are supposedely Sony authorised dealers as well. Unless I am saving big £££'s like a hundred plus I won't buy on line.
But reading through your e-mail (and I am not sure how tax in the US works) the differnce of $21 dollars dosen't...
Thanks for that.
I wanted to just check that I had the general idea really. My Sony receiver's main volume knob goes from 0 sound to 15 or 20 (not db's but increments I guess). I was just trying to work out whether I had done it right.
I don't think I have got it entirely correct yet. I...
Hi
I have been searching for the following
1) The Sure Thing - John Cusack
2) Coupe De Ville - Daniel Stern, Patrick Dempsey et al.
I am looking for them in DVD format. Can anyone point me to a site I have checked all the usual suspects.
Thanks
I use IXOS scarts (gold) and IXOS Coaxial leads.
In my opinion they feel solid and have been recommended in a number of UK Hi Fi Magazines. Namely What Hi Fi as being one of the best for all round value and performance.
