    Skyrim Vs. Oblivion

    Well, I went Dungeoneering with Jenessa (my Skyrim missus) but I got paranoid in case she'd get trodden on by a Mammoth, so I sent her back home to Whiterun, joined the Imperial Legion, and acquired another follower by the name of Lydia. This one isn't quite as murderous or deadly as Jenessa...

    My Employer has asked me to take a hearing test.........

    I've made an appointment to see my GP about getting a referral to go back and see the ENT Specialist who advised me to get HA's. The ENT Specialist did say to me ages ago that if HA's didn't work out for me there was always the possibility of a Stapedectomy. No idea what sort of time frame it...

    My Employer has asked me to take a hearing test.........

    Well, I hope I don't get fired either! The mortgage won't pay itself :( It's a very strange company that I work for anyway. They hired a lot of foreign workers through an overseas agency about 2 years ago - mainly Philipino and Irish guys (The General Manager prefers to hire foreign workers...

    Skyrim Vs. Oblivion

    Wow, I think anything's that's a system hog is a bit of a no-no, might very well try some of the others though. Upto my 44th hour of playing Skyrim. I aquired a murderous Elven follower, who was very useful in a scrap. Decided to marry her, then as soon as the wedding was over she buggered...

    Good News for Android users

    Certainly a move in the right direction! I have a HTC One, though I'm not sure when they'll start shipping out the new update.

    My Employer has asked me to take a hearing test.........

    OK folks, As above, I don't want to take a hearing test, and my Employer can't force me to. I don't think they're too happy, but it's my choice, and I can't see what benefit I ( or indeed they) would get out of it. I had a chat with the H&S person earlier, she assured me that there was no...

    My Employer has asked me to take a hearing test.........

    Ok Folks, To cut a long story short, I've notified my Work that I'm not prepared to undergo a hearing test. They are willing to draw a line under the matter. There's a few other issues that I'll post here in a while.

    Battlefield 4

    Hmmm.... All of the online mags have given it rave reviews, but a lot of actual player reviews have been much like yours....... I won't be buying it, purely because my laptop just isn't good enough to run it (and the fact that I just kinda got bored of BF3) When Skyrim came out it suffered...

    British Hot Rod...

    There's a friend in the UK who owns a fairly warmed-over Hillman Imp, it'll beat most things off the mark, no top end but handles brilliantly. The TR7 you're looking at has the Rover 3.5 V8, which is a development of the Buick V8. It's tourque-y, durable, and most-importantly very under...

    What was the last movie you watched?

    "Olympus Has Fallen" Ok, only got this one from quickflix cos the missus has a "thing" for Gerard Butler. First up, he only took his shirt off once - and that was in the first 20 mins, which meant SWMBO spent the next hour and a half snoozing gently with one eye open hoping for another...

    My Employer has asked me to take a hearing test.........

    oh, absolutely! Funnily enough one of the chaps at work mentioned that to me today, he reckons they'll forget about it soon enough. It's a loud noisy factory, I guarantee that at least 7 or 8 people there have got some sort of hearing loss - especially amongst the old Hands who have been...

    My Employer has asked me to take a hearing test.........

    Thanks for the advice Guys. The H&S woman spoke to my Supervisor earlier today about my Hearing loss. He said it didn't affect my work, that I had to turn my HA's down in loud situations (as my Audiologist suggested I do!) and when driving a Forklift truck, was still able to hear verbal...

    My Employer has asked me to take a hearing test.........

    Well, having thought about it, maybe our Health & Safety person is just looking for something to do, I thought someone might mention something to me today, but nothing. I know I'm good at what I do (no false modesty here guys :) ), and if they do lay me off, I'll certainly be playing the...

    My Employer has asked me to take a hearing test.........

    Thanks Guys. I was talking to my Wife (who has a background and career in Law) about this last night, she's told me to document everything, and to ask why the need for a test - basically much the same advice as you guys! It does have me concerned though, my Employer doesn't have the best...

    My Employer has asked me to take a hearing test.........

    Hi Folks, I've been with my current Employer since last June, and right from the start have told them that my hearing wasn't too good. In January this year I had my HA's fitted which obviously helped immensly, but since I drive a Forklift and move steel around for a job, this means that my...
