    Give it a bash and let us know how you get on.
    What have you got to lose?

    Pushing my finger into my belly button msgs my anus hurt.

    It’s a dark day when predicative text selects textspeak over a real word. :(

    Fill yourself on the videos from this guy. There’s a lot and they’re jolly informative.

    Mitsubishi obviously
    Prado would’ve got up if the driver had learnt how to drive it properly.

    I remember being at Brands Hatch and the commentator being gobsmacked at the fact that he was looking down on the red Arrows as they flew past.

    This is about consequential losses, I don’t know if they are governed by SOGA, might be in B&Q’s T&Cs, I would expect them not to be covered

    This is kind of what I figured. There has to be a provision to cover this sort of thing, but for the price of a torx driver it’s not worth it.
    Thanks.

    I say you’re boned. First question is going to be how much force were you using to a)snap the thing and b) do it in such a way that the tip is now jammed?

    The answer is that I was using fingers to turn the handle, so not much force at all. Cheese would have been better.
    The only thing I can find is this:
    [Quote]53 Remedy for breach of warranty.

    (1)Where there is a breach of warranty by the seller, or where the buyer elects (or is compelled) to treat any breach of a condition on the part of the seller as a breach of warranty, the buyer is not by reason only of such breach of warranty entitled to reject the goods; but he may—

    (a)set up against the seller the breach of warranty in diminution or extinction of the price, or

    (b)maintain an action against the seller for damages for the breach of warranty.

    (2)The measure of damages for breach of warranty is the estimated loss directly and naturally resulting, in the ordinary course of events, from the breach of warranty.

    (3)In the case of breach of warranty of quality such loss is prima facie the difference between the value of the goods at the time of delivery to the buyer and the value they would have had if they had fulfilled the warranty.

    (4)The fact that the buyer has set up the breach of warranty in diminution or extinction of the price does not prevent him from maintaining an action for the same breach of warranty if he has suffered further damage.[/quote]
    I’m not clear as to what “warranty” includes, but it appears to link to damages resulting from faulty goods.

    making a point of squashing several bikes with cars sums up what a **** show it has become.
    bye bye Top Gear arseholes.

    I missed the bit where they threw the cars down a cliff too.

    You’re right tyrion, Top Gear is a show for the lads, not a show for “Mummy boys”. I can’t see a problem with giving someone a slap when you’re hungry.

    Ernie is right. I’d like to give him a pat on the back for standing up to violence in the workplace but I’m scared it might be misconstrued. :?

    It’s crap because it’s a montage of the final two episodes mashed into one with a rehashed voice over by the baffoon Clarkson, that’s presented by May and The Hamster, who reveals facial hair demonstrating that he really is a hamster, to a studio with no audience.
    What’s not to like?

    And it’s a Spanish thing – the south Americans (Mexicans, Argentines etc) we have here comment on it too.

    Won’t the Argentinians pass comment on something as innocuous as catching the bus though?

    commenting how crap it is, sad. Really pathetic.

    I agree, it would be boring if we all liked the same things.

    The bike has been collected in person. Now I’ve had an email saying their is deep scratches etc. well yes it’s a used bike! And I stayed bike was well used.

    Caveat emptor, the buyer had an opportunity to check the bike over, they did and were satified enough to complete the purchase. Tell them to jog on.
    PayPal should side with you providing you can document that you’ve done nothing wrong.
    As a seller, I had a Paypal dispute opened, several hundred pounds taken from my account and held for the duration of the dispute. I was able to demonstrate that the buyer had ignore any advice that I had given them regard the product and PayPal returned my money.
    Not all sellers are scammers, not all buyers are angels and PayPal know this.

    I can listen to his over produced tunes on the radio, and enjoy it, though I wouldn’t buy anything. The problem is that his voice doesn’t work on stage, he can’t sing live and that was a let down.
    Some of the reporting from Glasto this morning came from the audience who also felt disappointed. He expected the audience to sing along, but they didn’t know the words, he kept disappearing from the stage for one reason or another etc.

    The final nail for him came at the end with the greatest living rock star comment.
    In which world does the guy live?

    They also give the impression that it’s stylish and gives a driving experience that is only found in vehicles with a much higher price tag.
    I feel cheated.

    You should have walked down to Avro golf course with everyone else. She flew right over our heads. Mrs. Oldman was strangely moved by the experience. Huge thanks to the lovely lady who invited us to park on her drive in Woodford. You are a star Ma’am.

    I should have followed my instinct and headed for Adlingtom Ind Est as was the original plan, but the traffic heading into Poynton was typically a nightmare. Not to worry, I had my aircraft desires satisfied many years ago at Lyneham and Binbrook.

    You’re good at dodging justice, aren’t you?

    You’re smart, aren’t you?
    The high horse comment was a dig at the holier than though, god like drivers that never do wrong. I take exception to that sort of puerile comment.
    Still stands that we can all use the SMIDSY get out of jail free card. If you’re stupid enough to get caught, don’t embarrass yourself by trying to say it’s the method of applying the law that’s wrong.

    If that means that I’m not not stupid enough to be caught breaking the law then whinging about being caught, then yes, I’m on a 30yr clean licence, 30,000 mile per year high horse. :roll:

    I drive tens of thousands of miles per year, all around the world. I’ve been driving for very nearly 25 years (without any incidents). But i’m human, i made a mistake. I wasn’t “Looking” for Bus lanes (especially not short 50 yard ones). The road was totally empty, had there been a cyclist i’d have seen them. All i missed was the small signs saying “bus lane” on the road.

    SMIDSY.

    and if they don’t seem to have any indicators at all, they’re probably Belgian – AVOID!!

    The Belgians are easy to spot. They’re the ones trying to kiss the rear of your car at 120km/h.

    captainsasquatch

    On the theme of indicators, when you indicate to overtake on the motorway/dual carriagway and the car coming up on the offside flashes you, it’s not politely flashing to let you overtake. It’s a warning that they’re coming through and probably not taking any prisoners (how it should be).
    The car that’s come behind you with its indicator on is telling you to pull back in as they really, really want you to get out of the way.

    With that amount of time in the UK how would you manage to avoid paying income tax?

    You have holidays abroad, luckily for the kids they’ll get lots of holidays abroad too. Don’t know how much of the extra income is eaten by doing this, but it’s probably the only solution.

    As a child of a parent who worked in the Persian Gulf when I was that age, I’d say don’t do it.
    My dad had the good life in the UAE, which is more of a party than Saudi. My mate’s dad went to Saudi and stuck it out for a couple of years, came home and got divorced. His daughter doesn’t speak to him.
    My dad stayed out 10+ years for the money and got divorced. I haven’t had a relationship with him for over twenty years.
    I’m sure there are plenty who can survive the experience intact, I wouldn’t bother for that sort of money when you can get it in the UK.

    Brit Couple in camper van – probably Daily Mail readers, they locked their doors in case they got flooded by immigrants.
    Calais Mayor – Channeling cross channel hatred and how the Brits have disdain for Calais
    Brit BMW driver – as guys are trying to climb into the back of the truck trying to tailgate closer to make sure he gets them if they fall off the back

    Some great stereotyping and conclusion jumping from the OP.

    Ferry crossings cancelled. Tunnel shut. Europe cut off.

    This is pushing my boundaries of understand.

    Back to the OP though, I would imagine wooden decking in the garden will be seen as a massive pain in the ass,

    Why would anyone want to have access to something that gets wet and slippy is beyond my undestanding.
    Conservatories: To hot in summer and too cold in winter. I mean why?
