    Disneyquest help

    Hi Rachel If you are staying in International Dr, Disney area or Kissimmee area it will take you at least 2 hours from touch down to make it to your hotel or villa. It'll then take you a good hour or so to settle in - unpack, freshen up, familiarise yourself. It might be best to head...

    Calling all Scottish cooks! Please help before I ruin any more pans!!

    We used to use ordinary white sugar (Tate & Lyle), pack of butter (it was unsalted as I remember as a small child trailing round with my dad trying to find this for tablet!), and a large can of condensed milk (yum). That was it plus very large thick based pan (like a pressure cooker pot) and a...

    Halogen Hobs?

    Hob Brite is what I use and it works best when the hob is still warm. I use a kitchen tissue to clean and damp cloth to rinse. How is the halogen hob? We've got a ceramic hob and we are buliding a new kitchen and changing to a ceramic with two halogen rings. How do they work? can you control...

    Star Wars Episode II

    DH and I went to see it last Thursday and we both thought it was great. It is much better than the first one and they are tying it in well to the older films. There are some slow bits but the action makes up for it. The only daft bit we thought was the scene near the end with Yoda - I won't...

    Grhhhhh Just what I need...............NOT!

    Can you not do what we do in Scotland? In situations like yours, even where a structural survey has uncovered something, both parties can come to a financial agreement (e.g. £500 off the price) and the matter ends there. This agreement is done legally between the parties via solictors. This kind...

    the only "official" thing I can think of is the DVLC's photo license. Which of course is only of any use if you have a driving license! (But presumably you could get a provisional one) This is gradually replacing our normal driving licenses. It is like getting a passport though - you...

    Question time???

    Hi, The long range forecast is predicting warm sunny weather (with a little rain) for most of England during the time your DD will be there, with temps climbing to high 70s in June. In Scotland, the weather is predicted to be a little cooler than England with a little bit more rain but June...

    days inn lakeside

    Here's an E-pinion I found on it written in Feb this year: http://www.epinions.com/content_55490809476 I know where the hotel is but haven't been in it. It isn't out of the way, very near Univeral so I can't see that it would attract anything other than holidaymakers looking for low cost...

    US Restrooms v UK WCs

    I don't know - at least you don't have the embarrassement of people being able to see you as you pee - it's those gaps down the sides of the doors. Can't they find a door that fits!! I think trying to compare your average loo to Disney's is like comparing steak to a frozen burger. Generally...

    Poll: Who loves the bagpipes?, who hates them?

    Prof - like the pipes you can get good haggis and bad haggis. Good and it's deliciously spicy and full of flavour. Bad and it's like chewing a lump of tar! McSweens of Edinburgh is the renowned butcher for Haggis and they ship!! http://www.macsween.co.uk/homepage.htm Yum!! :D

    Poll: Who loves the bagpipes?, who hates them?

    Yes, as most have pointed out - played well they are worth listening to but played badly and they are like nails down a blackboard. In Edinburgh, there is a big shopping street which is a tourist draw as it faces the Castle. Hence a lot of (ahem) pipe enthusiasts go there to do a bit of...

    footwear

    If you do get blisters, moleskin is a good bet. It is flesh coloured felt stuff, sticky on one side (the side you stick to the blister) and does wonders in protecting the raw bits. You can buy it in Boots in the foot care section - Scholl make it. I too am a Springers fan - they are amazingly...

    Advice!!

    we wrapped our car seat in a big bit of bubble wrap and it was fine (you can buy it at WHS or at Makro). The airlines take the seats through the bulky package bit at check in (you check your bags in first, they label the seat and then direct you to bulky check in). We stuck extra wrapping in...
