Do people like this really exist?

Due to the credit crunch i’ve lost me well paid banking job and now out of work i’m living on job seekers allowance of £65 per week.
Well out go waitrose and M&S i’ve been doing me shopping in iceland and BLIMEY i cant believe me eyes talk about rough women, all dressed in track suits showing off their midriff (stretch marks as well) teeth missing and tattoos all up their arms buying some off the most unhealthiest food and drink there is.
Mobile‘s in one hand while giving the kid a smack with the other hand and then swearing at the poor child.
I had the misfortune to be behind two of them in the queue, well the foul language that came from their mouths not to mention the unpleasant smell from the pair of them left me quite perturbed.
As they walked out of the shop the first thing they done is lit up their ciggies whilst one also opened up a can of pepsi from a just bought crate of 24 downed it in one then let out a massive burp. DISGUSTING
Well i thought people like this were just actors going on the jeremy kyle show pretending to be scum but no it’s real and alive in my high street.
I admit i’ve been divorced from cut price shops and markets for many years but is this really England in 2008?

Malta Sliema Hair Stylist?

A quick question for all the people that are familiar with Malta, Sliema.

Me and my partner are re-locating for his job.

I will have to either start working or open my own business. I am a Hair Stylist and it is a great job as I can take it everywhere with me.

I have done a bit of re search on the current existing Hair Salons in Sliema and I have not found much. There isn’t that much to find online, which indicates a gap in the market ?

I would not mind either way, working for someones business or starting my own, I am just very curious, if anybody has an opinion on this ?

Work for a salon, or open my own business either mobile or renting a place ?

Is this harrassment? What can I do about it? Should I just ignore it?

I’m 29 and I was engaged to and living with someone from age 20 to 25. It wasn’t a perfect relationship and we had problems but I didn’t expect him to go out to work one day and never come back. He left in the morning and phoned me whilst I was at work during the afternoon to say that he’d pretended to go to work but had actually left me and had put our house (which we had a joint mortgage on) on the market (lying to estate agents in order to do this)… I arrived at our house to find that all of the electrical items had been removed (TV, computer, DVD player, stereo system) plus CD’s etc.

I basically had to move back in with my parents for a year until all the finances were sorted out and I could get my own place (also as my parents lived 100 miles away I had to give up my job and start all over again). I never spoke to him since.

2 years ago I received a message via Friends Reunited which was from him. It stated that he had a bracelet which he believed to be mine and if I wanted to forward him my new address he would send it to me. I had no idea what bracelet he was referring to anyway so I ignored his message and didn’t respond.

About 6 months ago my best friend received an email from him also talking about the bracelet and asking her for my address. We talked about it and again decided to completely ignore it.

Then on Saturday a parcel arrives at my parents house (they’ve only lived at their present address for about 2 years – as in, they were at a different address when I was in this relationship). It contains the bracelet and a note with his mobile number on it saying I should give him a call if there’s anything else that I think he might have ‘mistakenly taken’.

I have no desire to speak to him again (it was almost 5 years ago and I’m over it!) but I am somewhat alarmed that he has presumably researched me in order to find out my parents address.

Do I just ignore this? Or should I take some sort of action like reporting it?

Thanks in advance. Sorry for the lengthy question.

Palm Treo 800w vs. Blackberry: Which Really is Better?

I was hoping that there might be some really technologically-masterful, kind-hearted people out there who could finally shed some bright light on this subject. I work for a law firm that subscribes to Sprint (we get to keep the phones we choose, even if we leave the firm). While the firm will pay for the service, we must pick up the tab for the phone. In my case, that means $249.00. This PDA-type smartphone is/will be my first and I had to make the transition to a PDA-type smartphone because I was strongly advised by ALL of the people in my office that a smartphone would make my job (and life) much more manageable.

So, I called Sprint and spoke to a representative. I explained my needs and the rep recommended the Treo 800w because it was released only a week earlier and was one the “top-of-the-line phones on the market.” I asked about Blackberry, but he said the Treo 800w would be better than the Blackberry Curve for my purposes. I have the option to send it right back within 30 days – no questions asked – in exchange for any other phone in Sprint’s lineup. The Treo 800w just happens to be the most expensive in Sprint’s lineup, so I have the option to choose any other phone they carry. To make a long story even longer, I ordered the 800w despite advice from cazed, impassioned Blackberry and Palm Treo fans in my office. I just chose to order the 800w (and have now had it for 2 1/2 weeks) because it was the most recently released and because the rep told me it was superior to the Blackberry Curve, for my needs. I list my requirements below with the hope that some really super-mega-knowledgable good souls can provide me and others with some really sound advice.

So the following are the most important features to me on a PDA-type smartphone:

(1) fast, reliable, and genuinely useful internet service on the road;
(2) the ability to generate documents from the device itself;
(3) reliable and accurate GPS, and
(4) a good camera with video functionality since I often need it to take pictures and/or videos in connection with my work.

Now, lemmee just finally tell ya’all about my experience with this phone in the past 2 1/2 weeks so I can determine whether I got “a piece,” whether I just need to spend more time with this thing and learn how to use it (yes, I’ve read the manual), or whether I should send it back for a Blackberry.

I post this long question with the hope that the answers will help many others in the same position who must rely on devices such as this one to make life a little less chaotic and to make a living.

I have now been using the Palm Treo 800w for approximately 2 1/2 weeks and have observed that while it was initially and still is fairly difficult to use with regard to the features and functions of the phone (hardware and software), it appears to be an extremely feature-rich phone that works well and quickly, but learning how to use it proficiently seems to be a pain.

The primary difficulty with the phone seems to be maneuvering the complicated Microsoft Mobile Pro 6.1 operating system which many claim is more adaptable and easier to use in professional networking than Blackberries. I know nothing on this topic, so I defer to the experts that will respond. While I am fairly proficient in computers, I have no clue as to how that translates into smartphones. It just seems that performing any simple function on this phone isn’t so simple and requires too many steps. AND, the multiple steps a user has to perform to utilize the function he/she needs to acccess leave programs running in the background which must be closed to maintain the operational efficiency of the system. Also, if people find this bit of information important, the 800w speaker produces horrible sound in my opinion and crackles more than a bowl of Rice Krispies in ice cold milk.

Since this is my first smart phone, I’d like to know whether this is just part of the natural transition from a small flip-type cell phone to a smartphone, or whether Mircrosoft Mobile 6.1 Pro on the Treo 800w is worth the effort to learn. Also, is one really technically better (as between the Treo 800w and Blackberry Curve) or more likely to be more-widely used by industry in the future?

Thanks a bunch in advance for any well-informed information regarding this issue. I hope some of the information discussed in this posting will be helpful to others who have to make a living using these phones. Thanks again for reading!!!

Thanks so much for your responses thus far. Alas, after spending almost 3 weeks with the Treo 800w, I have concluded that it is simply to difficult to use. Even if one reads through the manual (as I have) and is somewhat technically savvy (as I am), this operating system just needs to made more simple. Additionally, the speaker on the phone distorts and crackles sound, there is no flash, battery life is extremely poor, and the lack of a conventional 3.5mm jack for a conventional earphone/headset really makes matters even more difficult. This phone is indeed feature-rich and has remarkable capabilities, but if one is not able to use those functions efficiently, then the entire utility of the phone is diminished. I’d still like to hear any additional comments regarding the 800w, but for my part, I think I am going to return/exchange it for the Blackberry Curve 8330.
Hello there, and thanks so much for taking the time to write. How long have you had your 800w? My dilemma is really the following in the simplest terms. I like the form factor (appearance) of the 800w, and it appears, strictly from a technical specification standpoint, that the 800w is superior. While the Treo has more memory (256MB) than the BB Curve, better resolution, document programs (MS Word), independent Wifi, and yes, the stylus, which I actually like as well, the BB Curve just seems easier to use. However, after having read through the 800w manual and actually having used it “out in the field” for almost a month, I still find it extremely frustrating to operate. For me, the configuration of the MS Mobile 6.1 system on the 800w is not intuitive. My other issues are some more basic: crackling speaker at high levels, lack of an earphone jack, lack of a flash (which can often be used as a flashlight), and voice dialing issues. I hope this info helps others. Thanks!

I want a Job, can anybody here help me. Just show me a right path. I am 29 and to be settled in life. help me?

Advice For My Website Design?

One of my subjects at school involves designing a website for a real client. I have a design I’m working on… but I’m stuck with what to do with it.

Something about it just seems.. off. Does anyone have any ideas when it comes to colour, balance, design, or anything else?

The website is trust fund involving a style of manual therapy, and there is a particular focus in helping children.

They don’t want it to be ‘dry’ and goverenment-type-site looking, but instead friendly and inviting but still official.

Here’s the design: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v691/ChocoboDragon/tombowen.jpg

Tips for Making Complex Website Designs?

I’m building a couple of websites, two of them are going to pretty large interactive sites. The problem is I make pretty simple website designs that aren’t anything special at all: 2-column, 3 column site with the traditional header and footer, etc. I want to be able to make complex designs similar to any big name site, something that isn’t a tic tac toe grid pattern.

How can I do this using CSS? Getting/making graphics isn’t so much the problem, but just setting up the site look/pattern is.

P.S. I know HTML, CSS, and the basics of PHP, MySQL, and learning JavaScript (a total noob at this so far though).

I need some suggestions for my website on tips to increase sales.?

I designed the best template I thought would be appealing. I coded it to be as user friendly as possible. It was a SEO rating of 100% for search engine friendlyness and I spend around $200 a day in google PPC. I get 1-2 sales a day and sometimes none. My website is http://www.yourquicktrip.com does anyone have any suggestions on things to improve or how to get more sales?

I’m confused on my career??Please Help?

I have done my graduation in Bachelor Of Science In Information Technology and then i completed my Professional Diploma In 3d Animation (PD3D). I started working as a Game Designer with some company for 6 months as there was no opening and was unable to get job in 3D stuff. Left that job after 6 months because it was not in my state and staying away was becoming a mess. Now currently working with some other company on the same position as Game designer since 2 months and have realized that i hate Game Designing i am not a game designer. I just went for it because i had no other options left and it was my luck that i went through the interview easily with friends help but now i want to do something which is of my interest. Im kinda loosing all hope and not able to find any job which suits me.

I have good knowledge of technology related to mobiles,gadgets,computers and love to know about it.

One option was to get into marketing with some Technology Companies like Croma.

But still in a ? state if im doing the right thing please can you people suggest if this is normal.

Thanks a lot.

What do you think about the AT&T 50$ labtops?

By ConsumerReports.org
AT&T will begin selling netbooks with integrated wireless Internet cards, selling them for as low as $50 — with a data plan contract, of course. The rollout will begin in Atlanta and Philadelphia.

AT&T is also looking to enter the e-book market, according a company exec quoted by Bloomberg at the recent trade show in Las Vegas hosted by industry organization CTIA Wireless:

The Kindle, which lets users download books over Sprint Nextel Corp.’s network, has done a “phenomenal job,” and AT&T wants to be part of that market, Glenn Lurie, head of emerging devices at AT&T, said today. — Bloomberg.com

Verizon has also expressed interest in entering the e-reader fray, saying it had been approached by five (undisclosed) companies interested in a wireless connection like that of the Kindle.

The takeaway: AT&T’s netbook announcement, along with an earlier one from Verizon, suggests these tiny laptops are increasingly being positioned as much as an additional mobile network-connected device as a supplemental computer.

It’s unclear if the AT&T exec’s remarks on e-readers are anything more than an off-the-cuff response to the success of the Kindle. But the notion of another carrier joining Sprint — the carrier the Kindle uses — in the e-book business is intriguing. Wireless access to content is one of the most compelling aspects of the Kindle, giving it the edge over competitors like the Sony Reader (which we’ve covered in the past). The other is access to the huge library of e-content — Amazon’s 250,000 Kindle titles in the case of the Kindle. And to offer a compelling option to the Kindle, AT&T, Verizon, or any other carrier, will need to find a content partner with a competitive library. It isn’t immediately clear who might be able to offer that (perhaps other than Sony, with its Reader library.)

In my opinion I really dont think these will work out well. what do you think?

Please help me to Choose a career. Read my content patiently?

I was born and brought up in a City where I grew up in a middle class family. My age is 27 now.

I’m an Engineering Graduate in Medical electronics. I passed out in 2009.

I worked as a trainer for C, C++, HTML, MS office, CSS for 1 year. As a trainer, I have been an excellent teacher especially for ‘C’ language. But I had to quit as a trainer soon; because I never intended to become trainer. So i don’t like it.

Latter I was a freelance web designer/Developer for 6 months. I used HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Adobe Tools, and little bit of PHP for my designing and Development, During this period, I was able to design and code 2 good websites for 2 good companies all by myself. Although I love Web Designing/Development, I had to stop it as i was not getting steady income for sustaining my life. Moreover I used to get very big projects for which i was not ready. Therefore I felt my career is on the line and decided to find some other job to earn money. Hence i changed my career.

After quitting as a Web designer/Developer, I became Recruiter for a consultancy. I still work for the consultancy as a team leader from past 1.9 years. I am a very good recruiter and have performed exceptionally well so far in the company, but I don’t want to be a recruiter since i feel i’ts not the right job for a technical guy like me. Also, I feel this job is not suitable for my qualification. I love Coding, Writing, Designing, and Researching rather than just talking to people entire day.

Apart from work……
>I’m a passionate blogger. I blog about everything that interests me. I receive 100 visitors per day on an average. Some of my posts benefits others to learn and know things.
>I am an author for a public website; I write articles on technical and HR subjects.
>I’m a member of a HR group where I participate in quarterly meeting and share my thoughts with others.
>I love taking pictures and videos. Latter i edit them and post it on my blog, Facebook, or YouTube – You can say I’m a photo freak.
>I love gadgets, Mobile apps, English Music, Computer. I can talk about them forever and never get bored – You can see many apps occupying my Mobile phone’s memory.
>I love peace, so I don’t like arguing and fighting. I love being surrounded by people who spread smile and peace. I help others a lot without expecting anything in return. I feel threatened when i’m around bad people.
>I use every possible technology such as GPS, 3G, Video and Audio conference, Social networking sites, high end Mobile Phone to make my life simpler, faster, and easier. I can assemble my own PC by getting different computer parts from market.
>I love fantasy, Documentary, and Comedy movies.
>I’m very a hard worker. I stay awake for days to complete my tasks to provide quality results at the right time. I can be anything I want.
>I have a very beautiful girl friend who is true and committed to me.

So you see I have got what it takes to be. My real problem is about my career. I am not settled in my career. It worries me a lot and sometime driven me to suicide. I don’t know what career path to choose that will keep my career safe for long time.

Those who have read the above content, please take some time and suggest me to choose a right career path. and also please let me know steps to reach the goal.

Thank you

What are some good cities to live in around the US?

I currently rent in Long Beach and want to buy a house for my family. I want to know about any cities that are relatively cheap and safe anywhere in the US. I’ve looked at Palmdale and Lancaster but it seems that the reputation isn’t very good as of lately, high crime being the worst aspect. I want a house for under $100k, safe neighborhoods and preferably a place where the seasons are recognizable (real winters with snow, real autumn etc.). I’ve looked into the St. Louis area and there seems to be some promise there, but where are some of the safer places to live and raise a family and have a decent job and decent schools as well. I’m close to graduating with an Associates in Accounting and was wondering if the places that might come up have a market for some one like me, my wife has been a medical biller for a couple years so there is that as well. We prefer an actual house over a mobile home or a condo, we want the yard for our daughter to play in, plus we don’t want the additional land lease cost that comes with mobile homes/parks. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
Also, We’d prefer a suburb type neighborhood, not in the city. I know city houses tend to run a bit higher and parking can be difficult at times.

Is there a company that allows you to directly ship products from your website out of their warehouse?

Is there a company who not only stores your products for sale, they set up the backend of the website (and give you product numbers to track stuff) and shopping cart.

All you have to do is have items you want to sell directly shipped to the warehouse and it will be catologed for your website to be priced and sold. THEN its directly shipped to the person who buys it. Anybody know of a company who does that? For example if I make jewlery and want to sell it, is there a way that I can have the warehouse set up the back end and stuff so all I have to worry about is the front end website design?

I have a website that is not what im worried about i need a app so where when the buyer chooses a option it adds that options dollar amount to a shopping cart for example if it was a custom order when they added different things it added the custom pieces price to the total

Employers: Do you think a man makes a better employee/worker for you if he is MARRIED or SINGLE (unattached)?

Decades ago when the workforce was comprised of predominantly men and it was predominantly women who stayed at home and took care of the house and the kids (if they had any), the idea was that, as a man advanced in his career and moved up the ladder, the wife at home was partially responsible because she took care of all the domestic issues as he was allowed to focus on his career. Therefore if and when they ever got divorced, the wife was theoretically entitled to a portion of his paycheck since she supposedly helped advance his career.

Then there was the huge influx of women into the workforce, the rise of dual income families, the run-up in housing prices such that it was taking two incomes just to keep a roof over head, and lots of things changed…EXCEPT…the old concept that if a man advances in his career and he is married, the wife somehow was responsible for his success.

Now there are laws which prevent discrimination in hiring and being married is not supposed to enter into an employers decision-making process when considering which candidate to hire. But this is not the government here asking this question. I am asking for employers REAL candid opinions on this topic: Does a married man make a better employee than does a single man? And do married men in general advance faster than do single men such that their marriage could be credited for a portion of their success?

I am not talking about occupations where the husband and wife run a business together or where the wife is frequently visible at his job and considered a factor contributing to his production of income. I am talking about a regular job where the husband goes away during the day and comes back home after work, whether his wife is a stay-at-home mom and/or homemaker, or active in her own job outside the home. This would be the type of job where the employer rarely sees the wife except say at Christmas parites or other social events where spouses were welcome.

One argument might be that a single man has more freedom over his time and fewer obligations outside the office such that he can commit more hours to overtime or whatever is needed to get the job done without other life distractions. Another argument is that single men are more mobile and might jump ship to accept a better paying job at another company in a different market, therefore a man who puts down roots locally via a wife and perhaps children, is a better investment of employment dollars because they will be more loyal to the employer and less mobile.

Employers — What are YOUR thoughts on this issue? And are the divorce laws really fair in maintaining that old argument that a wife MAKES a man more successful, therefore she is due a big chunk of his paycheck after divorce regardless of her own education, work experience, and employability?

Does the Moral Ideal for Families Simply Follow the Economic Ideal?

Until pretty recently (i.e. 1950s+), most people had very limited mobility. It was normal for someone to grow up, marry and find work in the same town or village they were born in, and would come to grow old in.

As people became much more mobile, the concept of a “job for life” disappeared, and it is now much more usual for a person to complete their education many miles from where they were schooled, and to travel to find work flexibly.

It occurs to me that relationships have also become more flexible, as people can choose a partner outside their town of origin, and move between relationships much more easily than they used to.

Have our morals simply adapted to reflect our increased mobility, and the new economics of the labor market?

Is it anything to do with Traditional Values or Feminism at all?

What do you think?

Will Bar work help me with a job in Estate Agency?

Hi,
Ok so I am currently in my final year of A-Level study and want to enter the property market with becoming an estate agent. Now there are no qualifications needed for this job but most vancancies area asking for a retail / sales background.
No I don’t really have that, with my part time job being Barman. Could this job fill in that gap? I know it’s not as if I’m selling people mobile contracts or clothes but I am still selling stuff.

I believe that this job will help me with the fact being that estate agents have to be good communicators, and working behind the bar you have to be the same. You certainly can’t ignore the the people around the bar and you get to know many of the locals by being a good communicator!

So will this help me with getting into estate agency?????

Is this a honast job?

There is a website for INF consulting, although it is sketchily detailed. I am concerned by the lack of detail on the actual work, and the fact that the grammar and use of language on the mail is not as expected. However, other than a passport copy, there is no request for any detailed personal information – bank accounts etc…
Can anyone offer advice?

Best Regards,
Tariq

What moderately attractive people with no temperament are supposed to do?

First, I do not want any mean answers, I have them in real life,
thank you.
I am from a poor family, and managed to get a university education
and then – a PhD. I worked really hard for it. I graduated from everything with distinction, because I am not a fool, plus I worked hard. I got a job – and I worked hard and never was late or missed a day. My problem was that I could not deal with men. It does sound conceited, but I have problem with men. I am a pleasant looking (not a great beauty, have seen a lot of girls prettier than I), but I constantly get into trouble with men. In the uni it were professors, in the postgraduate course – the head of the university, and so on. They all asked me to go to bed with them in exchange of grades, and so on.
They all had something for me, and I had none. Now I know how people dislike people who brag, I am telling the truth, and it was very difficult for me to tell it. When I talk to my family it’s like “what, do you imagine yourself a Miss Universe with your mug, ha ha ha?” I do not imagine, I am like others, and want to be like others, I am nothing special. I got my first job, and after a while the boss hit on me, and when I rejected, fired me. The second job, boss gave me looks, his wife came to check on me, fired me. The third job… and so on. I am a simple person, and I am not modern – I have to know a man for at least three months to think about something, and it must be a free man. I help my family. I keep low profile. I do not use make-up. It’s of no use. I bought that long, baggy white dress to cover me from top to toe, and got a strange man following me and saying: “pull it up, I wanna see what’s under your clothes”. I got a job on the computer, no need to go out, translate scientific texts and send by e-mail. But yesterday I went out to the supermarket, and a stocky, muscles man followed me (at 1 p.m.), overcame me, took out a mobile and photographed me through his shoulder! I rent a condo – two men are neighbours, they ring my doorbell at wee hours and expect to get laid. In short: whenever I start doing, I have to put out to get it, and I do not want to. I feel like a horseflesh on some market. I dreamed about having a nice little job to pay bills, a nice man and a son, I already have a name. I see now that it will never happen. I do not have a temperament to put out for all and sundry and hope for something nice to happen. I won’t earn any, and I will never have a man (just I am going to give it to you and move on types). What am I supposed to do?

Can US Companies Deny Personal Internet Access?

I work in the sales department of a US-based battery manufacturer outside the US. My job nature requires me to go online to do market research, but for some odd reason I do not get internet access at work. I ask repeatedly to get internet access on my work computer and the answer is NO. There are a couple of internet workstations somewhere on my office floor and I am told to use them to get online. However this is very inconvenient, especially when I need to copy and paste information I find on the internet. So I decided to get online with my personal netbook with a newly subscribed mobile broadband service. One day my supervisor saw me getting online with my personal netbook and informed the IT department about it. The IT department then sent me an email saying that using my own netbook for internet access is strictly prohibited in this company. I am not happy about this. I want to know if it is legal for US companies to disallow employees from using internet devices (such as netbooks or cell phones) to get online. I am not trying to transfer confidential company information to my netbook or anything like that. I am just trying to do my job since my company is unable or refuses to provide the necessary tools for me.

What’s a good website with pictures of bathrooms in it?

Hey folks,

I am going to be redoing my bathroom and to come up with the design, I’d like to just browse hundreds of photos of bathrooms until I find one who’s color scheme and tile I like, and then try to mimic it as best I can.

What’s a good website for this? I’m not looking for design tips or how to’s. Just looking to browse as many photos as I can.

Thanks!

What is a good graphic design software for pcs?

I make flyers and brochures for my company, and I have a pc. I currently use Microsoft Publisher, which is very limited. I’m not a graphic designer by trade, but with a small company, you sometimes wear many hats. I believe I can do much better work with another program that actually allows me to edit graphics and has more backgrounds, etc. Also, I want to stay in the few hundred dollars range. HELP! Also, does anybody know a website where I can get free, good graphic design tips? Thanks!

How do I design a good looking website?

I know I can design websites in Microsoft Frontpage and Notepad but they don’t end up as good as the ones on the internet already.
Any programs I should be using?
Any tips I could follow?

Website Design Commissions?

When someone pays you to create a website for them, how does it all work?

What is the pricing and how is that worked out? For example, is it per page? And basic website vs complicated design?

What sort of info do you promt from the client and when do you show them progress in case they want things changed (an obvious one would be the mock ups/comps, but when else)? When is payment made? Should a contract be signed also?

What if the client wants you to make a small update in the future? How much do you charge them?

Any other tips?

Thank you.

Website design and Ad Design?

I need to design a Website and a Newspaper Advert for my newly started business. I have abode CS4 is it possible for a beginner to do this on these programs? If not are there any other easier programs? Also any tips? Thanks

What do you think? Need some help with a website design…?

Hi,

I am currently designing a website for a drama group that I am involved in…. I have made a basic design, and I don’t really want to change it too much, but I really think that it just looks too boring, especially when you scroll half way down the page and can’t see either the header or the footer.

www.kyds.org.uk

Can anybody give me any suggestions or tips to improve the design? I’m using Microsoft Frontpage…

Thanks
Thanks everyone for your feedback, am taking the advice about borders and the size of the screen it takes up, and the content of the front page in particular.
Will also try and make the underlining more consistent!!
