From my experience it'll be a jan one, and taxing it will un-sorn it

When I was a student I drew someone a tax disk with coloured pencils, for a fiat 500 they'd bought with their giro. Is that the same thing? I have to say I was very pleased with it, never considered myself that hot at colouring in.

im worried I will be looking at lycra if I carry on this slippery slope!

Wot tyres for slippery slope?

I would say that if all of the components of a bike but one are face forwards, its the one thats facing the other way thats backwards

Look at the prices the owners club charges for spare, one of the reason people buy MGs is that there is a raft of button cheap refurbished and remanufactured spares. With that in mind who will really be looking to buy used spares when the new ones are so cheap.

but needs minimal work to get roadworthy. (Two floor pans, new suspension bushes, fuel gauge sender and plenty of elbow grease).

You missed the can of worms off of you list 🙂

If you're not that interested in them why put the work in, you'll get no return financially, but MGs un-restore themselves at an alarming speed too, so you might also get limited return for your efforts in terms of fun.

Is it good? The trailers made me dispair!

There role in life is to makes thier elders and betters happy. Nothing good has come out of mass education

Not normally a grammar pedant but I like the irony 🙂

Religion is entwined in everything whether you choose to engage with it or not. Even with a secular government, mostly secular population, mostly secular culture and mostly secular media – our laws, customs, value and morals are all within a Christian model. We have the values regardless of whether we have the faith

I'm a secular educated, unchristened, unbaptised atheist, an atheist begat by atheists. But I'm an atheist within a country and culture that has evolved within a christian tradition over the last one and half thousand years.

is it worth doing anything more than the statutory one?

Yes and no. All the raw info is in the statutory one, but presented in as opaque and off-putting a way as they can manage without handing you a piece of paper thats on fire.

If you've had one of the more jangly ones you could easily decode them, but you might be left with a lot of questions seeing the statutory version for the first time

but i did spend a weekend re-creating the Battle of Orgreave

I've got that taped and keep meaning to watch it, will we be able to spot you?

…….. so how did this tread start again?

The 21 days might have something to do with the time limit that the buyer has to raise a dispute then. Just send the buyer a message, check they're happy and chivvy them up with the feedback

Have you had feedback from the buyer, that can hold up paypal clearing, but I don't know where the 21 days comes into that

Learning about religion isn't the same as being conditioned to be religious, I would say decisions about faith (whether opting in or opting out) are to be taken knowingly.

Religion would probably be the most socially, culturally and politically relevent thing anyone could study right now

I think politician should keep adding to the list of things that pupils should do for "at least 2 hrs a week" until they have to go to school two hour before the went to bed.

Who is this repack rider you all speak of? That bloke who posts some pic of himself every time he posts?

…and it has to be said that it is great to still see people so enthusiastic for moontin after all the years

Well if nobody else here has their own page on Wikipedia then thats a win for Mr Kelly

I'm less worried about 83ft lorries in Lincolnshire than I am by pretty much all the other drivers in Linolnshire.

Surely though you need the kids netbooks to the the common denominator – no point you speccing a machine to run a programme if theirs won't run it, or run it well enough, otherwise what are you going to teach them?

Edit .. sorry, missed your second paragraph up there

steamy biblical porno begatting reenactments ? Where do I sign up ?

And you wonder how it is the church attendance is in decline, with that kind of billing you'd expect to get trampled in the rush!

why not one or two Jesuses

perhaps in Mexico 🙂

We haven't done the old 'Esther begat Solomon' thing yet!

Is that the sort of reenactments you do Muddy? Respect! Thats really hardcore oldschool.

I'm much more New School/retro. A bunch of us get together at the cricket pitch at weekends, half get into uniforms and the others black up and we reenact the Toxteth Riots, we've got retro tracksuits off eBay and everything, one guy's even got chevette. But he hasn't let us torch it yet, he reckons we should just use some sort of dry ice or smoke machine.

Some of the guys's wives and girlfriends put on a nice spread of sandwiches in the pavilion and at halftime we smash the windows and loot the place.

Consider yourself lucky you haven't be declined interest from your disappointed fiance!

i would NEVER come out of Manchester Piccadily on a bike as a slightly drunk student and ride straight in to the tram tracks doing a forward flip in front of an old lady and smashing my shiny new lights up as a result

In front of an Old Lady? Manners man! Didn't you know it was her turn?

but that would be a pigment, not a dye…

It can be a pigment and a dye (but not a very good one)

Turquoise however, is naturally occuring (its copper) is found in Sinai amongst other places and is very much referred to in Jewish/Biblical literature. Its very much the colour to use for a baby jebus, even if he was to pop up in the middle the old testiment

Mauve / Mauvine was invented in the 1850's, the Mauve Decade. (Or was it 1850BC?)

In 2000BC, was it just the years that counted backwards towards the big birthday?, or was in the months and days too? So tomorrow would be Monday the 30th?

Aren't they getting mixed up with Mauve?

I'm amazed the entire cycling population of Amsterdam isn't dead by now. (although I haven't been for a few years, maybe they are dead)

If its a flat, particularly if its a house thats been subdivided in the past, check that the address you're giving matches the address as its stated on the electoral roll / council tax bill.

I've had credit check bother in the past and its always been down to there being an ambiguity as to how the address can be stated, for instance:

"Flat 3" versus "Flat 03" versus "Flat 0/3"
or
"Top Left" Versus "Flat 3/2".

For me it didn't matter whether all the existing accounts, credit agreements, utilities etc were using on version of the address, it was the one that the electoral roll used that mattered, because if that didn't match its as if you're not on the roll.

I had to get in touch with experian and get them to merge / disabiguityalize* the address versions and agree a specific expression of the address to use with future apps.

Annoyingly the last 6 address I've had 5 had variable ways of giving the address, so when some credit checks need you to go back several years its a mine field!

* yes really

No, they were definitely Bombers.

No, he means next weeks wall of fame will be Fannies v Bombers

For the purposes of this forum?

Thats quite an echo, have you fallen down a well?

It might be more to do with the circumstances of the offense, the context which people were speeding in.

Theres no discresion excercised by cameras, but cameras are typically positioned where speed related accidents are prevalent, if you were stopped in similar circumstances to ones where you might find a camera you probably wouldn't get much leniency from the cops.

And stopping you and talking to you is an action in its own right, even if it doesn't result in a charge or fine. Not stopping you would be 'letting you off'

"I am really into social media and all the fantastic opportunities the internet offers, so I thought this would be an interesting thing to do."

I'm sure its no mistake that thats exactly 140 characters

The M4's not the only section of Mway with a permanent 50 limit, the M8 through Glasgow is too, until you get out to the west when its 60, no its 70, no it 40, no, now its 60 again. Is it 50 now? I'm not sure.

If you've got a quick succession of sliproads you'll find the traffic flows better when all the traffic is travelling slower. Thats what the experimental limits around the M25 were/are all about, slowing all the traffic to the lowest common denominator to prevent those standing wave traffic jams.

I'm more famous than the 'celebrities' in those

More famous than celebrities who have to explain to other celebrities who they are? Get a grip man this is all going to your head. We remember you before you were famous, and you were, you know, all right. But now you're all "i'm more famous than Lisa I'Anson", heads gone right up your arse!

My money's on you winning next years I'm a Celebrity Get Me Dancing On Ice.

When a friend of mine was a student, on his walk to college were a line of boarded up, vandalised terraced houses, covered in obscene graffiti. Amongst it all was the repeated phrase YEB OFF. So it worked his way into is vocabulary, and soon all the the people on his course (all from out of town) were telling each other to Yeb off, thinking it was local slang.

One morning he saw the door being boarded up on what was the last occupied house, the guy nailed the door shut, wrote Yeb Off on the door, then got into his Yorkshire Electricity Board van.

Aye, particularly if you live /travel through anywhere built up transmitters can be a pain in the butt. Work out a direct connection solution if you can. If a transmitter is your only option then the key is finding one that tunes outside of the edges of commonly used radio frequencies, if it tunes down to 87mhz (many stop at 88) then 87mhz is where you're most likely to get an interference free trip.

I went with a direct connection after 3 consecutive annoying transitters, all which broke down. I keep one now only because I often use hire vehicles, but don't bother with it for anything other than long rural stretches

but because it's mostly morris dancing and crap like that

Morris Dancing (Moorish Dancing) being derived of course from North African Arabic / Muslim traditions, via spain. So expect to see the Thaxted Morris Men throwing down some power moves at the opening of next years Mobos.

I'd second Catapillar boots for toasty feet. I've got a pair for my (unheated scottish) workshop. They were a slightly wide/loose fit for me so I dropped a second set of insoles in and the result is feet that are always warm, but never hot, as well as comfy standing all day on cold concrete.

I don't know what Cat make their soles out of, but you will never, never wear them out

Hit the spot in '76/77 though

Don't you mean 1986?

For most people the golden age of punk was whatever year you were revising for your O levels in
