    Done. My daughter did a similar survey a few years back - also in a branch of psychology- so happy to support. Good luck to your daughter.  I’ll see if I am able to share for further support.

     

    Thanks, really appreciated.

     

    Its about the third time (hopefully the last).  She had to do it for her Criminology undergraduate, her Masters in Psychology and now her 2nd masters, in Forensic Psychology.  All this and she has also had a baby (who was 1 year old last week).  Its ben a mad few years.

  2. thanks all for taking the time to complete the survey, it's really appreciated.  

     

    I think the scenarios are designed to get those responses, her job is to analyse it now and write up her thesis.  If she makes the number of required responses it will be a great achievement to get the piece published.  I didn't realise how difficult it is get the required responses.

  3. last weekend was good, Cast were great.  The football not so much so, local team lost and so did my sons team.  

     

    This weekend is a bit less busy, the main thing is the Cup Semi Final on Sunday morning 🏆 . massive game for my sons team this week and really hope they get to the final.    

  4. This weekend

    - going to see cast on Friday

    - football on Saturday, watching L1 match

    - I am a coach for my son's U14 team so Sunday morning we have a match against the team most likely to win the league (they have won every match) although we did beat them in the cup. So should be a close one.

  5. I had a 100mile trip to my daughter's in Nottingham to celebrate my grandsons 1st birthday. 

     

    A full day Saturday of party plus watching the rugby followed by a visit to Twycross Zoo today. Then the 100mile drive home. 

     

    I am knackered.

  6. Sorry for the short response previously but i was on my phone. 

     

    Homestay.im - Official homestay for the Isle of Man TT & Manx Grand Prix. - HomeStay.im - The Official TT & MGP HomeStay Provider

     

    I booked very late as it was a spur of the moment decision so had to make do with what was left, this meant going to race week was not really an option.  Homestay is a way to get accommodation and is great.  I didn't want to camp as i wanted to ensure i have a dry warm bed and a shower, as it happened it was the hottest TT for a very long time.  

     

    As for the ferry, it is what it is really because there is not really any cheap way of doing this (especially if you want to take your bike).  The ferry is the main hinderance when going to IOM as there are only a limited number of crossings.  One possible way i have heard about is for 2 or 3 people to share and take a van with your bikes in, you will save a little as taking 1 van is cheaper than taking 2 bikes.  I travelled from Liverpool as it is closer to my home (not by much), shorter crossing and had larger ferries, this is not not the case any more as Haysham has a new much larger ferry (Maxman) and i have heard its a nicer port than Liverpool and possible a little cheaper.  

     

    While you are there everything is as cheap as you want to make it.  Eating, fuel etc is about the same cost as the UK.  

     

    The only piece of advice i would give you is ....... if budget is a real hinderance, save your money until next year.  This way you can add to your budget and book accommodation and ferry early so you have more choices.  Doing it on a shoestring may hinder your experience.   Good luck and enjoy, it is a great experience.

  7. the controller definitely works as the light comes on and is consistent.  I do have it connected directly to my battery.  i have no other heated gear. 

     

    Keis did respond pretty quickly to my query with them.

    Thank you for getting in touch with us. Our KEIS gloves are not intended to keep your hands hot; they are intended to reduce you from feeling cold.

    The performance of the inner gloves hugely depends on the outer gloves like their insulation, etc.

    If you do feel there is an issue with the inner gloves you are more than welcome to send the gloves to us for testing.

     

     

     

  8. Hi all

     

    My daughter is doing a masters in Forensic Psychology and really needs people to fill out a survey for her data analysis.  It would be greatly appreciated if you can spare 10mins of your time to answer the questions in the link below.  She still needs over 200 responses and is really struggling to get them.

    Many thanks in advance.

    I've got a pair of Keis inner gloves which I use in conjunction with a Keis liner vest and my hands are usually comfortable on the lowest setting of 3. I think its more to do with your actual hands.

    Thanks. If you had it on high I assume you would be able to clearly feel the heat. I am wondering if mine are faulty 

     

    Or could by controller be restricting heat? I have the basic in line controller as I don't think the others work with just the gloves. 

  10. Bought a pair of Keis inner gloves as my hands are the only part of my body that are feeling the cold.

     

    It was 0 degrees at 6:30 this morning when I left for work.  I was hoping for great things from these gloves. However I was disappointed in the temperature, I had it on high setting all the time and where my hands were not cold they were not toastie, which was what I hoped. No need for any other setting really. 

     

    Can anyone else confirm that this is normal for these gloves. Or are mine just too weak?

  11. i went for the first time this year and it was amazing (obviously i cant comment on how its changed from the 80's), the weather obviously played a huge part in it but it was great.  The locals are friendly, the police leave you alone (unless you actually do something wrong).    The mountain course is so much fun to ride, and now it is one way for the entirety of the TT timetable it is a lot better.  No more mad Sunday carnage and quite quiet at some times.
