    Super game of Rugby!! It doesn't even bother me to say this but 90% of the time Rugby is far more exciting to watch then the football! I wouldn't follow it (Rugby) as closely by an means but fuckin' hell there is far more action to watch compared to your average game of ball!

    Just noticed that 3rd season of Lilyhammer is up on Netflix.
    If you don't know what to watch, and never heard of it give it a try.

    I suggest starting from season 1 btw:D

    Lads if you wouldn't mind taking a moment (won't take more than 3 minutes) out of pondering your next transfers could you please fill out this short survey on online shopping and ordering for me for a college project I'm working on!

    Done, now take an 8 point hit. :p

    Just on the last question, I think there should be an option "would never use".

    Done.. Also selected 'would not use' and below is my final comment... :D
    I would prefer not to be using a tablet etc while eating out to relax. I would only be tempted to check the Boards FSA or Fantasy Football Scout.....

    I started filling it out but I never order food online so I've given up. I'd use Amazon sometimes (books, clothes) but I like going to supermarkets and picking my own fruit/veg /eggs etc and I never mind picking up the phone to order takeout. What is the advantage of ordering online??

    Yeah the comment is only partly joking. Would dread having an electronic device sitting on the table at a restaurant as part of the ordering process. I'd be more in the "Ban Smartphones from Restaurants" club.

    Done too Space!

    We do quite a bit of our shopping (grocery) online. It's extremely handy, both of us are working and we only have limited time each evening with the kids.
    Weekends are a no no too. Too busy with FPL :)

    Apart from the convenience, it's great for budgeting/cost savings imo. You're ordering online and you're way more likely to stick to your list. There's a lot of science in a Supermarket layout, they're designed to make you purchase items that you didn't want/need before entering.

    But don't they give you the stuff from the front, ie. close to the sell by date?

    I'm sure they do but there's never much of a difference between the fronted stock and behind it in a busy supermarket. A day or two. We've never gotten something that was too close to it's use by date.

    Saying that, our online shop is every two weeks and it's normally non perishable stuff. We'll do a weekly shop for fresh.

    Worst thing about that survey was having to select 36-45 age group. I've not yet got used to being that demographic. :)

    Done pal. Good luck with the project.

    You may go to a female oriented forum to get a few non male responses!

    I was in japan for a month a few years ago, and each restaurant had either an English menu, an English speaker or little wax models of their dishes in the window. Many a time we had to drag the waiter outside to point at a bowl of yaki soba.

    Only 2 places had none of the above, one of which was a place that had a built in touchscreen menu. We were blown away by it.

    Cheers lad, i got my friend to share it on Facebook too so i've got a good bit of feedback so far, funnily enough still only four female responses!

    For anyone that's slightly interested in what it is for I'm in the middle of a course in "user experience design" which involves trying to understand users preferences for using technology, in my case specifically websites and apps. and how you can take people's preferences for one thing and use them to build something new that they might find useful!

    Some interesting stats already from the responses i've got so far! i'll throw them up here for anyone interested when i've finished the report!
