- Hey rose, you don't get any vouchers for meals as students there. We get Vouchers for meals from our government, as many per month as there are working days. It's worth about 3€ so you can get full meal for about 3€ of your own payment, that is soup, main dish, salad and fruit. Or you can get Kebab, sandwich, burek,... Without paying extra. That is one awesome thing over here but I have no idea if it exists everywhere else.

- Hey LaRue you're still in the UK at this point?
We went all around Cornwall and Devon - Lands End, Eden Project, St Ives, Bude, Ilfracombe, Wollacombe, Exter, Plymouth, Lynmouth and Lynton, which is quite a lot to fit into 5 days!
As far as Italy goes I think Rome or Venice - ideally I'm thinking of touring around a bit but I'm not sure if the language barrier would stop that. I do want to hit big places like Rome and anywhere else you might suggest is nice.
Don't worry about the language barrier. You can do a lot with minimal vocabulary and pointing.
Roaming around in other areas is fun. It's all part of the experience. :) Also, Google translate is a wonderful tool when you need it! You can download the language pack for offline use.- Share

- I can give you a bit of an update:
The wedding went really really well - the weather was a bit unsettled, raining in the morning but it cleared up in the afternoon/evening and she turned up so we ended up getting married - always a good thing. We got some great photos and the day went really quickly but at the same time I made sure to try to take it all in.
We went on honeymoon around Devon/Cornwall (as a type of mini-moon) for 5 days with a view to going to Italy later this year / spring next year and enjoying the place in slightly cooler weather.
The plan originally was to get moving into our new place the week before the wedding but that got put back to the week after, so the new plan then was to come back from mini-moon and move in but we've had delays getting paperwork from the local council for the people we're buying from. So we've currently been delayed for over 3 weeks and still have no moving in date right now but I'm hopeful it will be in the next two weeks or so.
Work promotion has been going well, still transitioning over but mostly there now. It's all working out now.
The one downside was that on mini-moon my 950XL gave up the ghost so I've now got a S8+ plus which is a nice phone but I wish it ran WM. I like having apps but I don't like the way android ways in some aspects.- Share

- I'm glad that I have finally sold the 950. It felt like a struggle to sell it. Solid phone but wasted on me since I like smaller phones like the Lumia 650.

- Yeah there's unfortunately a lot of uncertainty with the future of the devices which have made selling them a little harder. I've noticed similar things over at CrackBerry with the older devices as well.

- It's the same there. everyone wanted the first couple of android Devices and then a few get listed and nothing. The BB10 devices are taking forever to move as well. I guess you're looking at unique communities and most that likely wanted these devices have probably already purchased. I don't know.

I definitely thought I was getting the KEYone but the last bunch of build quality issues steered me away. I would have loved the battery life but didn't feel like the headache of having to deal with device returns etc- Share

- fatclue_98Retired ModeratorI loved the Passport. One of my all time favorite devices. The Priv never appealed to me. Wasn't interested in the slider personally and there was a lot of issues with build quality it seems.

- I hate that a lot of Apple fans/followers do videos with the 5s but not the SE. That's not helpful to me. Thankfully there's one guy that does it. It kind of feels like I'm searching for a needle in a haystack at times.

Still, nothing nicer than a cute girl with a nice butt in some tight jeans and her small iPhone in the back pocket.06-29-2017 11:18 PMLike 0 - V20. The only S808 chip phone I'll tolerate these days is a 950 (although the G4 was a treat to use).
Reasoning? An experiment.- Share

- Awesome! I mentioned the audio bit because apparently audio sounds good on it, from what I have heard from Juan Carlos Bagnell's real audio review and also, you seem to be into music. I know that Laura is really into it, but that list you posted a couple of days ago, along with your conversation with fatclue about music the other day (I don't remember when this was), it seems like you are.
