My computer is set to UTC time (basic world time) but what happens if I send an Outlook invitation to someone in South Africa (2hrs ahead of England) who have their computers set on South African time?

I guess I will have to check with the people but just wanted some general advice from someone who has sent Outlook invitations to people in different time zones...like to have a teleconference or something.

As I am about to pick up some babysitting work in England I need a criminal records check, CRB. Now they are called DBS checks. I have found the main government site with all the info one could possibly want...but without an obvious link to the application form.

Any pointers?

I have lost at least 1.5 kgs just by cutting out pasta, bread and breakfast cereal and filling up on vegetables and protein. My complexion/face looks much clearer if not younger and healthier and for the first time in my 42 years I have a flat stomach! Has anyone experienced the same?

Hi! I'm a culinary trained chef and I admit I have only dabbled in using tofu. I'm increasingly leaning towards vegetarianism and I'm looking for some thoughts, ideas, inspiration or ideas from the Vegetarian and Vegan community. Any help? 10 points will be handed out!

Hi! I am looking for advice on what to do with orchid plants once the flower has died. How did you make yours flower again? Do they flower every year? Any advice on light? Any advice on watering? Thanks 10 points

And if you did follow a restaurant's Tweets do you want to know about offers or just about events and/or celebrity spottings? Thanks for answering.

I seem to go through my Oyster really fast, like a tenner last me just 3 return journeys. Isn't the bus supposed to be cheaper than The Tube? Thanks for answering. I am also looking at the Transport for London website...any advice on how you put a Bus & Tram Pass on an Oyster would be appreciated.

Like them? Love them? Hate them? Comments much appreciated about what you experience has been like finding work.

Being unemployed is a frustrating state to be in. No sense of belonging, being rejected, lack of security for the future plus lack of income which leads to stress. The only one that can get you a job is you. The only one that can really fight and beat cancer is you. Recruitment agencies and doctors can help.

Please comment on the question/statement.

In secretarial work the job description is what you would expect and is task-driven. It's not my responsibility to be revenue-driven and raise percentage points or to set out to win awards on behalf of the company. Do they want to hear how I handled a sucessful audit? Won't they think technically the files belong to my boss and I simply made sure they were filed correctly. It is hard to have an ego about such things. Any advice. What could be a secretarial achievement?
