      @Seul:

      Same for Belgium… My digits are 0485 XX XX XX, if you'd wanna text me it'd be 0032485 XX XX XX..

      @thomasnunnally:

      @Giles:

      Nope, you need to do +44 then the number without the leading zero….

      So my mobile is 07740706464

      You would text:

      +44 7740706464
      or 0044 7740706464

      So why do you brits have that leading 0 then?  Otherwise it makes sense.  Also, whats the logic on these country codes….never thought about it before.

      Virtually every country has a leading zero in their phone number.

      Read this:

      and this:

        The 00 or + is to indicate to the country that you are dialling from that you want to dial outside the country.

                I'm not sure there's a limit.  I think Giles mentioned once that he has over five thousand.

                  Computer savy folk,  my roommates and I seem to have lost the ability to access flickr.com from within my home network.  Anyone have any idea what may be causing this?  I've been puzzling through it and tried a few things, but to no avail…

                    ^let's do cray cray internet trouble shoot'n

                    If you're a mac, open "terminal" (click magnifying glass). If PC, Start>Run>Cmd(then enter), If PC Win 8, hit Start type Cmd (then enter)

                    Mac (1 per line);
                    dig flickr.com
                    dig flickr.com @8.8.8.8
                    ping flickr.com

                    PC (1 per line);
                    nslookup flickr.com
                    nslookup
                    server=8.8.8.8
                    flickr.com
                    quit
                    ping flickr.com

                    That should help resolve it. Flickr has shitty quality issues with it's ad server, my money is that..

                        Thanks EMQ. So far looking like shitty Flickr ad server, connectivity looking good. Mind you, your DNS server didn't/doesn't have the entries cached. I suggest manually setting your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 for faster browsing in general…

                        For Flickr, using Chrome, Open a blank tab, then go View > Developer > Developer Tools. Click the "Network" box/tab thingy down the bottom. At that point type in flickr.com, hit enter. You'll get a timeline loading, look for the longest part of the timeline, maybe take a screenshot of it. That will show exactly where it's spending it's time..

                            Well this morning it was hanging up on the very first GET and not resolving anything, but for whatever reason when I got back from class and tried one more time before grabbing a screen shot flickr decided to load just fine.  Thanks for your help though Snowy!

                              Hiya MC, if it happens again, follow the same advise and we'll get it sorted. Feel free to PM me, or keep it going here, both work fine for me :). Updating your DNS to 8.8.8.8 should make 'everything' faster for you.

                              Then Advanced>DNS>Hit Plus bottom left, type in 8.8.8.8

                                  Anyone have both Tricker's and Viberg boots?  I'm curious if I'd be the same size in the Tricker's Stow as I am in the Viberg Service Boot.

                                    8(UK) in Tricker's, 8(UK) in Viberg (2030 last)… Bit more room in the Tricker's though...

                                    You know what models I have.. So it may not be too helpful but... Well I hope it's not...

                                      Dose this seller have a good rating or bad rating for this site? "4.17 out of 5 stars" In EBay less than 97% is trash rating… :-\ New to this site though. Just not sure…

                                        Not that high, but I don't know that it much matters if you're outside of Japan, as returns are kind of off the table anyhow.

                                        Think it, be it.

                                            Both my Trickers Stow and Malton are UK 10, fitting 5, and I'm a UK10E in my Viberg 50's Service boots (310 sprung toe last), Engineers (also 310) and Smokejumpers (160 last). There's  slightly more room around my toes in the 310 last, but it's in keeping with the boots and both Trickers are a much closer fit, similar to dress shoes.
