Hi All,

Ive been using citibank as my global bank, but they recently increased the monthly fee from 8gbp to 15gbp.
Im now looking for a new service and wondered if anyone here has any reccomendations for services that have good fee's and exchange rates?
Is anyone using the HSBC service?

Thanks.

Hi, My rental contract renewal is due soon, im renewing with exactly the same terms but the agent wants me to pay him 1/2 months rent as a renewal fee and i dont understand why, is this normal? Am i supposed to pay him $1500+gst just to renew an identical contract for 1 year!? Sounds ridiculous :sho...

I went to the adelphi, wow its an audiophiles wet dream in there! i bought myself a golden ear super sat 3C, sounded fantastic on the demo in the shop and is a perfect size for my system. The build quality is amazing and if it tests out well when i get it back home then i might upgrade my whole syst...

I have a sony bdv-e2100 it came free with the tv so i know its probs not the greatest of systems but its pretty good, its just that i find myself turning the volume too high to hear the dialogue clearly

Lol? Its pretty common to have to upgrade centre speaker on a surround sound system due to problems hearing dialogue, standard centre speakers are rarely good enough, depends what you pay though of course

Sounds perfect ill check it out, thank you!

Can anyone recommend any specialist audio suppliers where i can buy a good quality centre channel speaker for my home cinema system. I've tried courts and best but no luck.
Cheers

Hi, anyone know any decent video games shops that i can buy the xbox one from? the little shops that i see wont get it until next year.

Had my EP approved today! So its full steam ahead! Only took 2 days to go through! Booking a flight for the 22nd july, got my IPA and it does say it doubles as a single entry visa, but will check with the airline before i book!
Thanks for all your help!

Hmmm, it may be worth me ringing the airline i.e emirates and asking them if i can come one way if i have my IPA to hand

Thanks for all your help, im going down the one way route as this is what my relocation allowance allows.
Filled out my employment pass form and sent it to my company yesterday, finger crossed all will be ok!
Looking forward to it!

Thanks for the help guys, it sounds easier if i just get a return flight to come back to the UK early next year. As for the EP they havnt mentioned it yet, i hope that it will be successful, im 25 with no spouse or dependants, i have plenty of quals and 8 years experience. The job is for an engineer...
