    old bloke + flash car (that is a flash car right?)

    No. It’s an actor after he has been styled by a professional stood next to a car that isn’t his.

    then again ive never done regular track days and i asusme its expensive!?

    The track days aren’t, it’s the fettling you inevitably start to do to the car that is.

    My father in law had a Westfield for hill climbing and he spent countless ££££££££££s on it – new suspension, new wheels, new exhaust, new engine, crash car, new chassis, new panels, new brakes, new seats.

    Sold it for the same he paid for it but easily spent that twice or three times over on top in the time he had the car.

    He now has a flappy-paddle E Class Merc convertible bi-turbo diesel instead. (He’s in his 60s).

    Beeritz- originally started off in my home town I believe. The shop is closed though which is crap.

    Unfortunately he doesn’t have the cash, neither do the banks.

    Bonkers.

    DrPs last idea is a nice one – a theatre trip to London? Can be had for around £150 inc hotel, train travel and tickets.

    They have got it ‘right’ only because no-one has yet had the vision to make something more ‘right’.

    It would be best to have your chimney/flue checked by someone who knows.

    Remember there are log burners and multi-fuel stoves. Multi-fuel have controls that allow you to burn other things if necessary. We chose the MB but have never burnt anything but logs though.

    Morsô do some lovely contemporary stoves.

    But it is all cyclical isn’t it? I am in the creative industry (originally using a drawing board and Rotring pens). I started off on Macs, some time in the mid to late 90s more and more people started to move to PCs then in the early 2000s (probably because of the original iMac) people started to look at Macs again.

    No doubt this scenario will be played out again and again until we no longer use computers, instead our very thoughts are transmitted around the globe into the heads of our intended recipients. Or something like that.

    I will get one simply because we are due an upgrade and, as we don’t intend moving suppliers and it is a business expense, I don’t mind being locked in.

    Same home button placement

    Rumours about it not having a physical button at all.

    Also rumours of fingerprint login.

    It won’t look anything like the pics above.

    Which was my point really – there are several different images floating around and I showed a selection – no-one really knows what it WILL look like as there are so many rumours.

    More images of the new phone. Apparently.

    The new one looks dull to me – and I’ve always bought apple products.

    You haven’t seen the new one yet – just various rumours of what it might look like. Don’t believe for a minute that the image above ^^^^ is real.

    Rumours of it going back to the curved back this time too.

    The roads weren’t as busy so cars wandering around five minutes after the throttle has been cut wouldn’t be ploughing into children’s faces.

    I Thought the Grand Slam was Winning the 4 Majors, Austrialian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open.

    So he’s won a Major
    He has won one of the Grand Slam tournaments (ie one of the Majors that make up the Grand Slam)

    We haven’t done – we have walked away and will watch with interest to see what happens next. If they reduce the price by £150k we might be interested but otherwise, we’re oot.

    Apparently putting the same meal out (ie the same ingredients, not the same thing reheated) again and again no matter whether they eat it first time works too. Apparently after a few times ignoring it they finally realise they might need to eat it.

    One word… Bicycle. IMHO both are way too young for consoles. Why don’t you try to give them a taste for litterature first?

    Remember how the law views ‘the way it all happened’ will depend on the size of the company you currently work for. For example, if it is a large multi-national they will be expected to do everything ‘properly’ but if you work for a small business they will be allowed more leeway and flexibility to do things differently (assuming they do still behave in a fair and reasonable way and broadly followed guidelines).

    Please don’t just use this as a way of getting at your current employers – I am sure they won’t be doing it for the fun of it and will be feeling pretty crap about it themselves.

    (Been there, done that 8 months ago as an employer).

    But it isn’t just a roof – judging by the dry rot and woodworm throughout the rest of the house and the fact it has been badly leaking for some time, I assume all timbers need replacing AND the top two or three courses of stonework need replacing and all guttering and downpipes replacing.

    I am sure there will be a central resource for issues like this – an organisation that will point you in the right direction. The documents will be safe.

    Somewhere.

    you are up against other buyers who haven’t done the homework and effectively bidding more than the house is worth.

    Yep – had that at an auction last year. Guide price of £160k, we budgeted for no more than £220k, bid to £224k (got a bit carried away in the heat of the moment) and it eventually went for £265k.

    The property is next to my in-laws and they have got to know the new neighbours and they quickly admitted they had vastly overspent and found out they couldn’t get the planning for the work they wanted to do. We knew we wouldn’t get the planning because we did our homework, knew about the greenbelt status and knew what opposition there would be if we had tried. Their architect said they had bought no more than some double glazing (it had recently been re-done) and a building plot.

    That]s the thing – they are too young to be bothered about friends laughing at having too ‘old’ a machine – they will play on whatever you get them.

    Then you can get them the ‘latest’ machine when you need to as they get older.

    Well ours has lasted 10 years – can’t complain really. The carcasses were all pre-built too.

    Howdens do the same kitchens as branded Schrieber elsewhere. The pictures of ours in the Howdens catalogue was the same room set as the MFI brochure of the time – just a different image.

    I’d say Wii too – a wide range of family-friendly titles. They are too young for PS3s and the like.
