I have 2 young Beagle’s and the food & supplies that I’ve bought there have really made a different.

They only sell Natural Food - No additives or anything bad for the dogs. One of mine is quite a picky eater, but loves the wet food (comes frozen) that they sell.
One of mine also wolf’s his food down dangerously quickly, so I was able to get a special bowl to slow down the eating (no he gets less gas!).

I also got 2 excellent Harnesses, which clip on at the front and also link on to the dogs collar’s - Magically they instantly stopped pulling when out on walks.

Delighted with this new Pet Store - I’ll continue to use it!

I rang eMobile this morning and they told me to just plug it into iTunes to update the settings.

However, a quick google let me to the page below, where I just had to Reset my Network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings) then all was back to normal and working. (Although WiFi networks were forgotten so I had to re-type in the passwords)

Now it seems this same issue has come to Java, with Java 7 being released with some glaring issues, Oracle early adopters known this path well.
Its a pity, as before now, Java releases tended to be uptaken pretty quickly.

I collected my €76 tickets yesterday to see I’m in section U5.
A quick look at the stadium map shows these are not great seats, a little too high up; especially for that price.

Then I had a little look at the Ticketmaster.co.uk prices…. For section U5 the Heineken Cup final Tickets are category B, but for regular home internationals they are category D.
£65 vs a regular price of £30.

What a rip-off!
