Thanks Main Street. Appreciated.

Ah yes, I haven't got around to updating to ios5. Any videos for that?

If you're a heavy Maps user you really should think before you make that jump, unless you're in a big city the navigation on Aplle's replacement for Google's maps is woeful in Ireland (and much of the rest of the world, honestly). To update you can go to Settings or plug it into iTunes and the options it should be on the landing page for your iPhone in itunes

Sure there is a google maps app made by google now in the app store, that is better than the google maps app that apple bundled.

this looks like fun

The neighbours used to camp down in Castle Ward all the time with a camper van. They sold it after the summer but just spent a few days in the tee pees there. They loved it and recommend them highly.

There's a signal strength checker where you can check:

Settings menu then signal tab

Check the strength there and wether it has the lock indicator is 'OK'

Hearing rumors of more job losses in the group. Hopefully not true.

Can confirm that. Nothing else around the area for these people to go. Seems that they're drip feeding these redundancies.

Realistically what GB IPad do you need - is the basic 16 too small?

16GB definitely too small. I've one and it annoys me that I didn't spend the extra money

Some free kick

Shocking

Going to be some flooding in Belfast. The saintfield road is like a river above forest side.

Having worked in software development in a large bank these batching systems process some amount of data. A lot of these systems do not have checkpoints where they can easily roll back to. So they probably had to diagnose the issue, workout how to get back to a good point ( all the time the volume of transactions to be process would've been growing ), then start running again.

Add to this the outsourcing where a load of banks have now lost the knowledge on these systems built up over years. Coming back to bite them now.

Also when you look at the way banking has gone over the last 10 years you'll find that a lot of banks we're bought over/merged. Ulster bank - nat west - rbs, northern bank by ?, heap of wee building societies - bank of Scotland/Halifax -llyods. All these companies went through major integration projects moving to one system for all their customers. So now if a couple of banks hit problems then it would affect nearly every customer in the uk

Cheers lads. Staying in Nikko on O'Farrell street so will try Foleys first as she'll be handy.

Wil use this weekend to scout out the others too. 

Over this weekend for two weeks and looking to watch the Tyrone v Armagh match on the 10th. Anyone know of any good bars that will be showing the match?

In fact one would need to know how much - length wise - the landmower cut, this variable would be vital in giving and accurate answer.

Or better still the width of the cut 

I had an iPhone once my contract was up I switched to the Galaxy SII. My honest opinion is that both phones are great. They both have have their issues. At this stage of the game it's just a personal choice and you'll not go wrong with either.

It's not really a mark that it leaves but a smudge.
