i found that website it looks to be ok but its not available for cyprus.. but you pay for votes and some people have said to buy things for over 90% off.. im not sure i would trust it because you have to pay 50 cents per bid..

imagine if i buy 500 and then someone comes in and takes it from me for 50 cents? too risky for me even if i was in a supported country

small or large notes?;p

im trying to decide to get a macbook pro or a imac

imac will have 3.06GHz processor 8GB ram 500GB hard drive at 1378 pounds
macbook pro will have 3.06GHz processor 4GB ram 500GB hard drive at 2000 pounds

but the macbook pro with its 7 hours battery life i could take it into university and the imac will have a 27 inch screen and better specs well double ram and less price but i doubt i would even use 8GB of ram it would sit there un used most likely

what one would you get?

Can I borrow your brain then please mine is frazzled trying to learn Greek. I am getting there but very very slowly.

I notice Viewpoint's brain isn't for sale. Is that 'cos he doesn't really own it?

I think some old guy was trying to sell it from his bicycle at Mackenzie in August and seemed rather down on his luck...

Almost every bloody person on the island should get a brain transplant! This forum and a good chunk of its membership proves that!

comicalkiwi's brain might be a fresh brain but already reached the "by used date" already...what?...

From the Uk's Daily Mail 26 January 2010

A government job centre has been slammed for refusing to display an advert for a 'reliable workers' - because it discriminated against unreliable applicants.

Recruitment boss Nicole Mamo, 48, tried to post an advert for a £5.80-an-hour domestic cleaner on her local Jobcentre Plus website.

She ended the job offer by saying that any applicants for the post 'must be very reliable and hard-working'.

But when Ms Mamo called the Jobcentre Plus in Thetford, Norfolk, the following day she was told that her advert would not be displayed.

Nicole Mamo, director of Devonwood Recruitment was stunned when a Job Centre in Thetford, Norfolk, said she could not include the phrase 'reliable and hard working' in her advert.

A Jobcentre Plus worker claimed that the word 'reliable' meant they could be sued for discriminating against unreliable workers.

The mother-of-two from Hertfordshire today slammed the situation as 'ridiculous'.

She said: 'I placed the advert on the website and when I phoned up to check I was told it hadn't been displayed in the job centre itself.

The Job Centre in Thetford, Norfolk, said the advert discriminated against unreliable people

'She said "oh we can't put that advert on the job points".

'She said it was because they could have cases against them for discriminating against unreliable people.

'I laughed because I thought that was crazy. We supply the NHS with staff so it's very important for the patients that we have reliable workers.

'We find jobs for hundreds of temporary staff every week and are proud of our workers but our reputation is at stake if they aren't reliable.

'We are taking people off the dole and finding them jobs so not displaying the advert just seems absolutely ridiculous to me.'

Nicole, who runs Devonwood recruitment agency and employs eight people, placed her advert on the Thetford Jobcentre Plus website on January 21 this year.

The job offer, which cost nothing to display, read: 'Domestic cleaner required immediately. A variety of different shifts available. Must be fluent in written and spoken English for health and safety reasons. Previous experience preferred. Training will be provided. Must be very reliable and hard-working.'

The following day Nicole phoned Thetford Jobcentre Plus and was told by a woman named Carol that her advert could not be displayed.

The 'offensive' advert which Job Centre Plus allowed on the website but not on the instore display

She claimed that the job centre could be sued by unreliable people if they placed the advert on their 'job points' but told Nicole it will remain on their website.

A spokeswoman for the Campaign Against Political Correctness described the decision not to display Nicole's advert as 'ridiculous'.

She said: 'This situation is absolutely ridiculous - of course people want reliable workers and of course employers should be able to ask for them.

'If they can't advertise for what they actually want then the system is broken. They won't be able to find workers who meet their criteria.

'In order to have decided that the word "reliable" can't be used they must have put a great deal of thought and time into it.

'That time could be better spent getting the right people to apply for the right jobs - which is what this advert was trying to do in the first place.'
