How much are the group sessions?
My only worry about skills training would be about my lack of fitness holding others in the group back!

small group of people could make a killing on the privatisation

Osborne had more than one best man? 8O

That the test is based on a flawed simulation of real driving which the engines get optimised to meaning they’re never as good in the real world is one thing

Were the potential profits so great that VW deemed fraudulently achieved emissions figures worthwhile? You need to question the marketing genius involved

And you are aware that the official VW recall remap due to misinformation causing mass hysteria world wide, is more polluting than the original map?
Mpg down to 30mpg, force regen to achieve the modified emissions limits the engine was never designed for, destroying egr valves in weeks, VAG running out of replacement egr valves, now on backorder with a lead time of months.

Slow handclap gif.

Have a pollution test cheating VW as a prize

A pollution test cheating VW in only 2 states in the US where the emissions limits were effectively conceived to all but ban diesels, perfectly legal in the rest of the world. But don’t let facts get in the way of riding your high horse

Jambs, petrol and diesel have differing torque curves, low down grunt in diesels, it’s why dual mass flywheels were developed for early Common rail TD’s, to stop them snapping drive train components

Next thing to ponder, what’s more environmentally damaging, the handful percentage wise of remapped vehicles, or the poorly maintained tradesmens vehicles ran on a shoestring to scrape an mot every year.

Edit, on that note, I was behind a united utilities corsa van the other day that had clearly a leaking injector, so big businesses is equally culpable as the skint one man bands

* usually called ‘Scooby-John’, RS-Kev or GTI-Gazzer. For motorbike cocks it’s Dave the blade or Gixer John. Whatever it is they are all complete tosspots.

I remember attending a rave in Anglezarke Quarry in 91. was a belting night.

Until it was crashed by me and 3 mates in Mini’s…
Mine was the red white and blue one ;)

Edit, i tell a lie, i was in a 2 door moonstone blue Mk4 Cortina , mateys had a 1275GT in yellow, and ‘tother was a purple 1000

When the egr is clean and your sure it’s fully shut, pull the vac line from the actuator, shove a tight fitting ball bearing up and replace… EML light won’t illuminate as the system doesn’t measure airflow from that side, the ecu won’t know the egr isn’t opening.

You can thank me later :D

Did you think about Clutch / Dual Mass Flywheel considerations ? ie more power could over stress them ?

Just use the old “powerful 4wd driveshaft saver trick”

Don’t hoof it in first, Jamba

I remember the look of surprise a 600 Bandit rider looking for sport with a range rover had on his face as he dusted me from the lights on the inside… But once my turbo spooled up in second :twisted:

I’m playing with the idea of subscribing to the morning star for the shop, to counter the right wing press bias

Answer the question instead of the usual right wing tactics of evasion, is Judge Dread style policing fine in your mind and world view?

We can add an inability to read and understand to your unique charms, Ninfan?
No one means no one.
And where was it mentioned he was innocent?
So Summary executions are fine in your world, instead of trial, incarceration and possible rehabilitation

You mean like the 900 million pound Scott Trust limited? (Guardian and observer

Your point, caller?
Big money publishing house with big circulating tickets on the books, shock?
Isn’t t that what Ernie was getting at?

I wouldn’t trust you with a weapon, airtragic, but dont take that personally, I wouldn’t trust anyone, full stop, farmers for dispatching distressed animals included.
They’re designed with one purpose, why would anybody choose to own or work with one.

Does Socialist Worker own a broadcasting and film making concern?
Does Socialist worker sponsor major sporting events?

The reach of the billionaire press barons is insidious, all enveloping.

If SW had that kind of reach, i’m sure their publication figures would also be significant

I’d buy a pair of cymbals, too

I’m a jihadist? 8O

Why would you want Virgins?
Give me the sloppy slutz every time

I’d waterproof greased the axle and inside faces of the cups 4 months or so ago, and the grease was varyingly discoloured from pink to red – brown, but nothing too disgusting considering the biblical amount of rain we had over winter…
Still think I’m gonna re fit it before today’s ride. It’s on my mind now, and I’ll know!

I do know however, that people – even politicians – change their minds in light of experience.

People who knew me 10 years ago would think you were mad if you told them I’d joined The Green Party…

I just wondered, beyond looking tough, what they could actually do.

Just like the TANKS & MISSILE BATTERIES at Heathrow, exactly that, it’s a pr exercise

Exactly, I remembered a tracked armoured vehicle that I knew wasn’t a tank.
You’d have equally gone off on one if I’d had described it as a tank.

And reading the link, you credit me with too much.

To be fair, given that guns on the streets is a fact, I’d rather have those carrying them trained in that kind of discipline, than not.

Agreed.
But let’s keep it as is, a trained specialist unit used for extreme situations, and not every single plod, some with questionable attitudes, carrying guns.
We get cock ups now, let’s not increase the potential for those cock ups

I’d imagine lethal force from the Army is a given..

Unless they’re striking workers?Scousers, South Wales miners, Glaswegians or from Belfast were all fair game for live rounds before now

Looks like I’m whipping off a cup, judging by the look of the weather today

“Training to become a police firearms officer is rigorous and involves conflict resolution tactics and learning when to fire and when not to.

Aye, ’cause that’s never gone tits up, has it?

The less armed police on the streets, the less potential for fowl ups or summary executions of unsavoury characters. Or innocents.

What, these ones were never deployed. God damn photoshop and fake news.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2749659.stm

It’s to keep the simpletons calm

Self propelled guns and ground to air missile systems at Heathrow, anyone?

What the hell did they hope to achieve?

Oh.

It has happened here, unarmed drug dealers executed (who I knew personally) , unarmed black men, executed, unarmed Brazilian man, executed.

Seemed to be pretty effective at stopping this bloke:
Ah – I can see the image now, Ninfan.
You do realise he only went down after he’d committed his attack, you muppet?

But he won’t do it again, Keith, that’ll teach ‘um

Shot for the crime of being black. Shot for the crime of being slightly brown skinned. Shot for the crime of being deaf. Shot for the crime of being mentally ill. Shot for the crime of being a playful dog, shot for the crime of being homeless

And as for examples of abuses of power within an armed Police, go and subscribe to any US Copblocker newfeeds.
There’s no way I want any of that on our streets, to massage your needs, Nin

How old are you Nin?
I ask, as most of us seem to grow out of that running around shouting bang bang “playing army” thing, once puberty kicks in.
I’m wondering if there’s any hope

And in the latest news…
Ninfan gets outed as Walter Mittyesque gun fantasist shocker

Ahhh, next in the upgrade path for me then, I’m 10spd sunrace 11-42, with M80000 11spd mech and 10spd SLX shifter, i’m going 11 speed as fast as I can sneak components past the mrs… :D
