Penalty Through Post For Driving In Middle Of Road
There are quite a few of these in London and yes I think they are deliberately confusing (revenue raising) . The scary bit is as you get close to the black bollard things you can see copious shades of paint on them . If you do not line up EXACTLY between the things you are very likely to scrape... -

Which Xmas market?
Copenhagen as a city is small and easily covered in 3 or 4 days. Tivoli Gardens seems to be where everyone goes , especially families ( lots of lights in shapes of things i.e. ships etc ) . The market as such is within Tivoli and not that big. Nice atmosphere in Copenhagen and usually an... -

Will
Try , if you can, to ge a Solicitor that is STEP registered ( society of Trusts and Estate Planners) as they are even more specialised .

Agency won't change contract?
Agents always tell you that you are the first/only contractor ever to have a problem with their contract. If you are unhappy with any clauses its up to you to get them changed. Its a game of who blinks first on each clause , sometimes the Agency will agree changes other times they wont. It...- rpgpgmr1

IBM iSeries (AS400) backup?
Like the man says , bin your operator ! Messages are usually written out to message queue QSYSOPR : DSPMSG QSYSOPR and scroll through for the offending item ( or use the "F" keys to view only unanswered messages) . The I series has its own job scheduler as part of operating system so you can... -

Double Glazing price /recommendation
Whoever you go with , make sure the guarantee is Insurance backed ( who is the underwriter ) and NOT just a guarantee provided by the selling company. 'Cos if they go ....so does the guarantee.
