yeah, you'll need one.

Never added multiple people/country of issue before but I don't see that it would be an issue.


Don't use any of those third party sites that are about. Use the government one: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/

I took the last lad for the jabs, new one is 6 weeks and he'll be getting them too.

Not worth the risk in my opinion. Wife and I know someone who didn't get their wee girl vaccinated, and thought it was madness because if she becomes pregnant in later life the risk of measles on an unborn child would be massive.

BTW from memory the original doctor that publishes concerns had been struck off. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8700611.stmhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8700611.stmhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8700611.stm

If none comes up with something - how about picking a charity?

Been in SF a couple of times a year over the last five. Lovely city.

Twin peaks is an amazing viewing point over the city, all around the bay and down towards the valley. Second highest point in the city at over 900 ft.

You don't want to disable caching but ...

I had a look at your site using the chrome developer extension and it looks like what know as conditional gets (First few paragraphs in this link explain it: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2010/07/08/technical-information-about-conditional-http-requests-and-the-refresh-button.aspx) are carried out after the first request for a html page. So it should update when you make a change to the html file.

Add in the following to see what happens.


<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate, max-age=0" />


One thing I would recommend would be to understand the network tab in google chrome. Look at the http status with different headers and ctrl + f5 vs F5.


  • A 200 (ok) means that a fresh copy has been downloaded.
  • A 304 not modified means that a cached version is being displayed.

Many an error made by an umpire in the past and no replays. Can't see this appeal working out for them.

qub, is there a mandated minimum speed limit on the motorway?  Sounds to me, by your own admission, that it was your fault, distracted as you were by changing cd's.  What if there had been a dead animal in the road?  Aren't you expected to maintain an assured clear distance?  No, I think Judge Judy brings down the gavel on this one.  Life (in Craigavon) without chance of parole.
I defy anyone to drive the length from Enniskillen to Belfast without changing radio, opening sunroof, adjusting a mirror and/or driving position, taking a drink of water or some other minor distraction. As far as I know they aren't offences and it isn't an offence to change a CD while driving either - as opposed to using a mobile phone. That said I would probably have been in the wrong. My query is, what if you had a legitimate reason for being distracted, and ploughed into the back of someone travelling at 50mph, as per my original scenario?

Yep, all those can be prosecuted under "Driving with undue care and attention" though very unlikely unless you cause/nearly cause an accident.

I agree that we all should be retested every ten years - and it should not only be for those over a certain age. If anything to ensure that people are up to date with the rules of the road.

Bit of advice I have for anyone is to get their hands on a book called clean code. Great book whether you are just starting out or having been at it for a few years.
