  1. If you want some straight forward advice, I'd say the following. No job is forever, as your current circumstances show.

     

    Having been offered a job, which may be boring, at least it's an offer. So that's your immediate problem almost addressed. Slightly less pay, slightly less interesting, but you should / could be sorted.

     

    Now the mercenary in me says, if you accept the offer, they'll have to draw up and send you a contract, but you haven't yet signed it. Well that might take a week or more. By the time you get the contract from the first job, you should know about the other job.

     

    If the second job makes you an offer (get something in writing). Then if it's something more interesting, something with more opportunity, more potential. Then take the offer from the second company.

     

    Then politely inform the first that, unfortunately your circumstances have changed. And you won't be taking up their offer after all. It sounds a bit rough but you have to look after your own interests.

     

    If you don't get a positive response from the second company, You can then fully commit to the first job which has been offered

     

    This is exactly what I had to do back in February. I accepted a job offer just to get me out of where I was. It paid the same money but was 20 miles per day extra travelling. I then heard about a job going at a place virtually on my doorstep paying 5k more and less hours too. I applied for it. Then whilst waiting for the outcome of the interview, the contract came through for the first job. I delayed sending it back by a week and then the offer came through for the second job, which I accepted. I then apologised to the first company and explained that I had received a better offer.

    You have to look after number 1 at the end of the day.

    Good luck with everything.

  2. You could always go for a Strosek style spoiler like mine, available from Tarmac Sportz.

    This is bolted through the original lip spoiler so if you did want to remove at a later date, it's just a case of filling the holes in the lip spoiler and re spraying it.

  3. The car is being supplied with a "comprehensive warranty", now I know in general warranties are worth about as much as toilet paper at this stage of a cars life but was wondering whether you reckon the oil gallery gaskets are something that would be covered, i.e doesn't fall under wear and tear item.

     

    Got mine changed under a 3rd party warranty. Think I paid £300 for the warranty so worked out worthwhile.

    The new gaskets are steel reinforced whereas the originals are just paper gaskets. In my eyes that's nissans admission that the originals are not up to scratch.

  5. Hi Matt,

    Will you be tweaking it for iPads too.

    Even if I turn my iPad sideways, the letters are disappearing off each side of the screen. Otherwise looking good :)

    That's my plan.

    The basic theme is responsive, but I've tweaked it so much that most of my additions aren't fully responsive :lol:

    I've managed to make the header/buttons cascade down for mobile devices. Thats about as much as my responsive coding goes :lol:

     

    More than I can do mate :D
