richey manic?

meet her halfway and buy her an ipad

cheers all, dont know who developers are but persimmon are all over the place where we live so could be them.

infact the more i look at the pic mums house is the one closest to the wood so atleast she is a bit more sheltered.

she just rang and the guy living in the one right by the roundabout is getting a vaulation tomorrow! he aint staying

Where are the new houses going to be?

the majority all to the right of the access road that runs alongside the wooded area. those two big buildings are going to be ripped down.

the show home is going to be on the tiny green verge to the left of the bungalows, just off the roundabout.

bored in my break hope this works… bungalows are in the top left of this picture..

its quite funny looking at this aerial view it looks as if the bungalows have nothing to do with the plot however the turning point into the bungalow carpark is right at the bottom of the access road.

cheers all,

it’s hard as ive told mum she is going to have to get used to the fact theres going to be hell of alot of noise and mess ‘if’ it gets the go ahead.

any trees there?

yes theres a big wood right behind mums fence but this is NOT being touched as the access road runs alongside it.

Most of the new plants will be built ‘next to existing ones by the look of it, havent read much of the above but if nuclear waste is your deal check this out….(probably seen it anyway)

there was a programme about it few months back on TV, one part of it was discussing what ‘signage’ they would have outside once it was finally sealed from the outside world.

WASTE

After the Finnish Nuclear Energy Act[22] was amended in 1994 to specify that all nuclear waste produced in Finland must be disposed of in Finland, Olkiluoto was selected in 2000 as the site for a (very) long-term underground storage facility for Finland’s spent nuclear fuel.

The facility, named “Onkalo” (“cave” or “cavity”)[23] is being built in the granite bedrock a few miles from the Olkiluoto power plants. The municipality of Eurajoki issued a building permit for the facility in August 2003 and excavation began in 2004.[24]

The plans for the facility consist of four phases:[citation needed]

Phase 1 (2004–09) will focus on excavation of the large access tunnel to the facility, spiraling downward to a depth of 420 metres (1,380 ft).
Phase 2 (2009–11) will continue the excavation to a final depth of 520 metres (1,710 ft). The characteristics of the bedrock will be studied in order to adapt the layout of the repository.
Around 2012, Posiva Oy, the agency responsible for the facility’s construction, plans to submit an application for a license to construct the repository and any adaptations it requires. This is expected to take up to three years.[citation needed]
Phase 3, the construction of the repository, is expected to begin about 2015.
Phase 4, the encapsulation and burial of areas filled with spent fuel, is projected to begin in 2020.

It’s not about jealousy. I could buy iPads for my kids, but I won’t until they have a real need for it and will appreciate it.

It’s certanly not about inadequacy. I believe my parenting is better for this approach, not inferior.

+1

sorry for stealing your quote but you sum my feelings up.

again each to their own,

We supply ‘bits’ for Nuclear power stations and looking at the tenders flying round the office in the last year there are going to be new plants built.

OOOH OOH!

Ref this…

there was a game i had which was very similar, instead of the two hand gunthings they were biplanes? when a ball beairng hit the other one bits of the plane fell off?

anybody remember that or did i dream it as a kid?

i had a spectrum 48k

then the 128k with builtin tape deck.

each to their own but an ipad for a 10 year old is fekin ridiculous.

whats she having for her 18th, a house?

sorry just my view,

Dad of an 18month old girl, i have it all to come dont i!? 🙄

zero snow thank god (south wales)

“MERRY CHRISTMAS” (In a hushed voice)

Cheers…

ive been searching for the last half hour and with that RAM and procesor you cant touch it….

got a contact in Dell via work might see if she can match it.

cheers, good read that! 😯

pay it 🙁

haven’t read much of the above but being through the whole baby thing (ours now 18months) it is a nightmare, the advertising and marketing is all designed to make u part your cash. we were not in the “everything must be new camp” we got a 2nd hand maxi carry carseat/base off ebay, then got a 100quid chicco pram. sold the maxi on ebay and lost very little. there is nothing a 500quid pram can do that a 100quid cant in my eyes , each to their own though! good luck! + make sure whatever u buy fits in your boot!

best advice i was given was buy the most expensive pair of ‘proper’ dedicated running shoes you can afford.

go with a mate, its much more fun.

it is very hard to keep going but stick with it.

from BBC article, sum her up..

what I can never forget or forgive Thatcher for was the vindictive way that she systematically destroyed the coal mining industry of this country.

It was done not for any economic reason, it was pure out and out revenge for the actions that brought down the Heath government.

ive witnessed first hand those dark days in Wales, the irony is coal will come back.

also she gave the order to destroy an argentine ship when it was outside the exclusion zone and heading home. but we wont go into that one!

i found it very funny

not trolls just idiots!

the guy who posted about his 18 month old son being ill all the time is a perfect example, by page 2 it went off topic and it was full of idiots shouting about vitamins are rubbish for kids… no there not.

you get it on all forums, keyboard warriors half the people on here in real life wouldnt say boo to a ghost.

all the car posts crack me up aswell, you login sometimes and its like pistonheads

NO

f’in hell i love this forum sometimes but other times like this some threads go to b*llox!

get back onto the OP!!

fekin willy wavers, i know more than you neeeerrrr FFS!

if i was you 😉

volvo T6

AWD, 290BHP, Massive, Electric EVERYTHING! bollox just noticed its Auto.

MMMMM

going to curse it but our 18month old (girl) apart from a little cold about 3 months ago, touch wood as been fine. a few bad nights when teething is about it.

i think you could be right about the playgroups etc our little un very rarely goes to play groups etc as we hate them (local one is a stinking hole). people have given us the “yes but she is not mixing with other children etc etc” but she plays with other children at the child minders once a week an dsees her cousins.

mum (73) had new knee about 6 months ago, we were epxecting the worst and she is not the most strong person.

she was in for 3 days after the op.

she did her exercises to build her muscle back up etc and within 2 months she was pottering about again.

her op was a bit more complicated as they had to twist her leg back by a few degrees so the bruising was massive.

she is a different woman now which is good to see.

as above you need to ring sky and pay £10 a month for the + feature,

as above very disapointed by the second series, too much faffing/talking not enough blood and gore.

it is getting slightly better mind episode 5, but its taking 2/3 episodes to get to the point of “oooh i wonder whats in the locked up barn”

In the words of Michael Scott (American Office)

“If there’s no God, why are there so many churches and who is Jesus’s father?”

i like them, think one is defo on the list when my fiesta dies.

its nice to have something different, its great not being a badge snob!

although sad people are loosing jobs/pensions…

had too good for too long, the wife had a 3 month stint in the local council office in the tax department, out of an office of 21 people (her mate was a manager), half were on the sick **** all wrong with them just it was so easy to do. the rest used to abuse the flexy time with the managers turning a blind eye. even the mrs mate said 5 people could have easily done the job of the 21!

not nice people loosing jobs but public sector has been taking the piss for years and they know it! people in private sector have been shafted for years!

“keyboard warriors” make me laugh, this forum ain’t too bad but there is a culture of “ive been posting since the start. so people need to respect me more and what I say goes”. when intact everyone is equal on here. other forums I go on are far worse, some of the car ones are tragic!

the mods on here are a bit facist mind, my ONE SWEAR WORD reply to one post was deleted and i actually got an email telling me off, it wasn’t even a bad swear word.
a bit sad but hey ho.

the linux route is a mess to be honest…

as above (sort of) get one of these…

take the hd out of the current casing pop it in one of the above, chances are the connectors are broke.

is the hard drive making a clanking/scratching sound?

last march we had an old combi ripped out, a new one insalled to a new position, a fancy one with wireless thermostat all in £1,700

2 year warranty on ours aslong as the installer does the service which was £50

you lot seems to know your onions… wife wants to get me a game for xmas but cant decide.

the one selling point of BF3 for me is the online co-op with your mates, am i correct in saying i can get 3 mates to join me in a game, each is assigned a role, medic, sniper, engineer etc then we can all play on the same map and play as a team against the computer OR ‘other peeps’?

i probably havent explained that very well!!

edit- just read a bit more of the above…. what i mean is i dont just want to play team death match but is there a mode where me and 3 mates for example have to go and blow up a building while securing a bridge then make it back to an RV etc? im sure you could do this in BF2?

what mood were in you in before you got into the car?, 99% of the time if your heads gone as soon as you drive off this will be magnified in your driving.

the best i ever head was in a multi story car park with my mother. i was driving down one lane between parked cars and got to the t-junction and a woman in a car cam from the left, i did see her at the last moment and stopped, she stopped and give me ‘the bird’ ranted some choice words and drove off.

i really do not get the psychology of people, i could have been a total nutter, jumped out and kicked seven bells out of her.

people think they are invinvible behind the wheel, there was a survey done and they reckon due to th ecurrent ‘climate’ people are more stressed and road rage has shot up.

white hair in eyebrows… 🙁

start to ache alot more in the mornings 🙁

you have to start going for a pee at 4am 🙁

hangover lasts a week not a day 🙁

wetting myself at…

you cant trust a fart.

i always have to stop and think now!
