  • How to build poor credit rating?

    Well I have really poor credit rating, and basically I want to build my credit rating back up. I've read that you can apply for a low balance with a high interest rate to help build but no one will accept my application and by doing two its made my score even less due to them searching my credit score. I thought about a loan but I don't want to apply to be denied the loan. So I'm now in a catch 22 where I need to build my credit rating up, but I can't get credit because my credit rating is too poor.

    The reason I'm trying to build my credit rating up is because eventually I will want to buy my own place and other things that my credit score will be taken into account. So what can I do to improve my credit rating. The only outstanding debts I have are with my grandparents which is unofficial.

  • Speed Cameras Question - UK Answers?

    Hi all!

    Well basically I was driving home last night and coming up to a speed camera at the correct speed limit probably a bit slower and as I was going through the speed camera a car on the opposite side of the road came through it at a great speed and set the camera off.

    Now I am wondering whether I will get the fine and points even though I was travelling at the correct speed limit?

    Any information, websites or help would be much appreciated!

    Many thanks

  • ENT Question - Ear Popped/Muffled hearing?

    Right I know the first answer to this question would be go and see your GP/Doctor, bla bla bla.

    Any how due to work and being busy I cannot yet get to the doctors.

    But either way last week, my ear just felt blocked and I had muffled hearing which wasn't painful but rather annoying. It cleared up but did come back for a short period of time of about one to two hours.Then within the last half an hour I had to blow my nose which I instantly had a moment of dizziness and felt similar to fainting but was fine within a few minutes, and now my ear's blocked/muffled again.

    Any idea why this is happening? Why did I feel dizzy?

    Once again I know I should go to the doctors but I'm trying to kick start my career and I am really busy. Stupidity comes to mind but that's my choice.

    But if anyone knows what it is and whether I can get something over the counter for it, it would be much appreciated.

    Many thanks

  • How could I transfer videos from my OLD video recorder to the computer ?

If you need the model number I can get that later on today.

  • Is this a panic attack? Also why?

    Hi all, I have been feeling weird on a few occasions and I was talking to my friend about my symptoms and she suggested to 1. Obviously get my symptoms checked out and 2. That the symptoms could be of a panic attack...

    Here are the symptoms:

    -Heart feels like its beating funny or quicker or slower

    -I feel a tightness in my chest and its uncomfortable

    -I feel sort of breathless but I guess that would be down to the chest being tight/uncomfortable

    -Feel like I have a dodgy stomach

    What do you think? I personally think its nothing but my friend is concerned =S

    The first time I experienced it, I was driving back from Cornwall along the A303 towards Basingstoke to join the M3. But I passed a sign that said Long Leat which earlier this year I took my girlfriend at the time there for her birthday in May. We currently are broken up, I went with another partner (Not right away) but why would this trigger those symptoms? It doesn't make sense to me... I recently started to talk to her again just as friends and on a few occasions I found myself having these symptoms.. I honestly do not get it. I have got an appointment with my doctor for this week so don't just say go to the doctor.

    I know (well I think I know) that this isn't a heart attack else I doubt I would be here still.

    I am a 20 year old male, slim with slight athlete build, I eat healthily, do drink on the weekends, don't smoke, working in a job which has potential to progress, easy going home life though I do suffer with depression apparently according to my doctor.

    Do you think they are panic attacks? And could it be down to my ex girlfriend?

    Sensible answers please.

    Thanks in advance

  • Does everyone have a bit of Autism in them?

    Now my brother has mild Autism, the poor speech, lack of eye contact, and playing with specific toys on his own and the rest of the normal symptoms. But I have noticed in many of my friends and myself to a certain extent that they like things to be done in a specific way or have an interest that he is fixated on. I have noticed that if I am in a routine, like up for work, work, home, shower, dinner, see the girlfriend then bed with her, I notice if it doesn't go right I get sort of annoyed or frustrated, and I often find myself unsure of what I am doing. I know I am not autistic because I can speak properly, and I make eye contact and so fourth, its mostly the repetition that I 'have'.

    But my question is does everyone, mostly the male population rather than female have autistic tenancies? What are your opinions ?

  • Could I have a broken jaw?

    Right well about a week and a few days ago I was in a Night Club in town and slipped in the lads toilets as I went down I accidentally pushed another lad I bashed my head and jaw on the floor got up and the bloke I pushed cracked me one as well so now I have a really bad black eye on my right side and a discoloured eye on the left with a painful top of my nose and my eyebrow is painful which when brushing over feels lumpy even after a week... But I did go to the A&E and had an x-ray on my jaw and they said it wasn't broken, it's been a week and a bit later, it's discoloured, my teeth seem to be at an offset position to normal and I struggle to use my mouth i.e. eating, talking as it opens not the full way and is very painful when opening. Could it be possible that they missed something on the x-ray cause I don't want to go to the NHS Walk-In-Clinic or the A&E department and waste their time. I'm at work at the moment but considering going to the NHS Walk-In-Clinic afterwards but thought I would get an opinion before going.

    Many thanks in advance.

  • Is this weird to feel like this?

    Right serious answers please...

    Basically, for about 2 years I have felt like I want to have a baby. A few of my friends have babies, and see them and their child and think I would like to have a child of my own, it's like I get broody when I see a baby. I am only 20, but I am one of 5 children in my family and the person I call my dad and father is really my step dad due to my biological father not being there from the start. But I love children, and I like the family 'scene' but basically I want to know whether this is weird or just that I'm maturing quicker so to speak? Before you say don't do it ect. I am not planning to have a child yet as I've not got a stable relationship and I don't want to have a broken family if I can avoid it!

    But back to subject... Is wanting to have a baby and family at this age weird?

  • Why do I have a twinge on the top of my head?

    Right the other night I was in a night club I went to go toilet, the floor was wet I slipped over and accidentally bumped into someone, I smacked my face against the floor and hurt my jaw I got up and the bloke I accidentally pushed punched me a few times (God knows why). But anyway my question is I have like a twinge on the top of my head on the right side which feels like someone has gently pulling my hair which I also noticed it happened when I brushed my finger of my eyebrow. Anyone know the reason why this happened?

    Bare in mind I was hit on the right side of my face. If you need more information I can try.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Should I go with my ex or stay with my current girlfriend?

    Well how to start this, basically I was in a 2 and a half year relationship with who I would call my first love, she was the first person I had sexual intercourse with and the first person to experience many things as couples do. We didn't have the most usual relationship ever many events happened which normally doesn't happen in a regular relationship. Two months ago we broke up, I was extremely upset as you'd imagine, but then I put on a massive brave face and made out I was okay as she also seemed fine and made it clear to me she didn't want to be with me. I did stupid things to try and cope by just getting with any old random girl (No sex just meeting up, kissing and cuddling) did this then I stopped to help a girl mate out with her relationship, which unfortunately ended for her, long story short us being friends went a bit further and now we're going out. Still I have feelings for my Ex like strong feelings, and though the past two months she has been giving me grief about the new girlfriend and what I had done in the time we haven't been together me and her have been civil and friendly, good news but not good news, I realise how much I have actually missed her... And she has the same feelings ect. But we both don't know what to do as we don't know how long we'd last if we got together. Also I am scared of getting hurt again, along with not wanting to hurt the current girlfriend who do get me wrong I am happy with but just there's so much history with my ex. Do me and my ex just struggle to get on with our lives or to get back together? I mean I don't know what to do genuinely.

    Normally I am the one giving out information with this subject aha! I will be talking to my current girlfriend about it as well as I reckon she deserves to know.

    Any help would be appreciated

  • Does anyone have a suggestion?

    Well I have had this pain since March 2011, it's around the right side flank, radiating through to the front and down to the groin. I struggle to pass urine, it stops and starts and I find it hard to start. I drink loads of water roughly speaking about 2.5 Litres a day but I can go for a few days without passing anything. Then when I do pass urine, it stings/burns out of my penis and also up near where the appendix is located (I have had that out already). The pain is moderate all the time but becomes severe rather quick to the point I struggle to walk and usually I start to feel genuinely ill, with normally a head ache, nausea, feeling breathless and feel like my heart stops for a millisecond. I am always tired as well but the pain does keep me awake a lot of the time.

    I have had various tests and scans over the year...

    CT Scan

    Urodynamics Flow Test

    X-rays, with and without radiation/dye

    Ultrasounds

    Cystoscopy

    Blood/Urine Tests

    Prostate Exam

    I was admitted into hospital in November for two weeks, in which they still couldn't find out what was wrong, I was in agony through out the time there. They did notice that my Kidney function started to fail which they then catheterised and put me on antibiotics because they didn't know what was causing my kidney function to fail.

    I have no lead and it's effecting my life, luckily I have a job where I don't have to do much physical activity but it's still painful and currently getting severely worse which I will be going to seek medical help but was wondering whether anyone had experienced this or something similar, and anyone with good opinions.

    Thanks for taking the time :)

  • Is My Girlfriend Pregnant?

    Hi all, I was wondering whether you could help us out?

    Basically my girlfriend has had pains around the kidney area, abdomen and has been feeling tired all the time, loss of appetite with feeling sick but we first thought it was a UTI and/or a Kidney Infection but she did a pregnancy test which came back as not pregnant after she went to the GP and had her urine tested and no infection was found, she will be going to have an ultrasound the following Tuesday which I'm guessing is for the Kidneys. But she's been reading up things, which I know is silly because you can think you have things when you actually don't. But anyway she read up that another women had the same symptoms as she did a pregnancy test which showed up negative and the urine dip came back with no infection but when this woman went to the ultrasound they found out she was pregnant. Could she be pregnant ?

    Any information, opinions or experiences would be much appreciated
