Ive got a DVD rental thing going with Tesco - so Ill get it through that if its on their list.

Because we get absolutley no value for money what so ever for our tax pennies. I know for a FACT, that certain departments within the Government have made payment on CREDIT notes! I know because Ive sent them! Its a refund from a supplier as they had overbilled, and the people at the other end simply saw the figure and wrote a cheque. If that is how much attention is paid to credit notes, I can just imagine the scrutiny they subject a roadworks invoice to. Ive been in florida and seen them start the resurfacing of a section of the 192 highway at about 8pm at night, and the next morning (10am) when travelling to Disney, they had resurfaced about 5 miles of the thing, and all that remained was a few guys planting shrubs in the central reservation. Our workforce wouldnt have got past the first round of coffee and staring at a pair of Bristols in the Daily Star, but they would have already invoiced the Taxpayer for about twice as much no doubt.

Not that the Government are hell bent on this as the ONLY solution, without wanting to enter into any debate (as the PM would have us beleive), but they have felt the need to create an entire page on the No10 site more or less defending the whole plan: http://www.number10.gov.uk/output/Page10961.asp PS: Tony Blairs response can be viewed on the skynews page here: http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,, ... 84,00.html

Reading between the lines it very much smacks of:

I actually only watched this for the first time last night - two episodes back to back, its quite good. I think Ill see if there are DVDs out I can rent to watch it from the start.

One of the reasons cited for this is the benefit to business. Eh? Am I missing something? How on earth does taxing a UK haulage firm into oblivion, whilst allowing European truckers to tear up and down the land unchecked help British business? Probably a bit more to it than that, but Im fairly certain this is not going to have the desired effect on many businesses and environmental causes.

Yes - Very true - Perhaps a link to something more positive is in order.

Hadn't seen this post before - Ive just filled it in. Im not too bothered about F1, I went once as part of a paid for jolly from one of the suppliers at my previous place. After about 20 laps I hadnt got a clue who was in what place, if it werent for the big screens it would have just been a lot of noisy cars going round.

Yes we do. We let the spiders have free roam, and encourage them to follow all links. Its worked too, our ranking on various search engines has significantly improved.

Yes there are quite a few spiders, but there are also a few guests too. They will join up soon enough Im sure.

Cheers Tim. Im looking forward to sampling a variety of European cuisine on the Europe trip later in the year. Other than that I have to say, my favourite is Chinese, but mainly just all the starter bits like prawn toast/spring rolls etc... Then Curry, - but mild, not hot. Then Pizza - stuffed crust with plenty of meat and cheese.

You dont get my size being fussy. Owt will do. Today - Pancakes!

Im hoping mine made it to you today too Steve. Thanks again!

I used it today to chat about the european trip. Its not used that often, as people will probably use MSN messenger etc, but its there as an option if people dont have access to such software at their location.

Also just booked the speedferry. Outbound> 8.6.2007 10:40 Dover / Boulogne Return> 23.6.2007 09:50 Boulogne / Dover Looking forward to this!

If I was looking for one to modify (and not have any warranty issues hanging over my head) then I would certainly look at a basic model - Quality interior retrims with leather/suede can be had for £500 upward, and you wouldnt be forking out for Rays or other wheels that were going to get replaced either. If its a car that someone is going to modify, and the standard features are not really that important, then it seems decent enough - as others say, the differing shades look a bit iffy, but its probably a fault of the camera angles thats doing it (like the famous fuel filler cap colour issue on photos).

sorry - edited my post on the last page to add: Here is another good one: gives a score if you click "view sample report": http://www.iqtest.com/prep.html

I have to admit Ive seen some of the questions before - and as far as they go, they are pretty easy ones compared to some tests. I got 27 correct on this one: official sample from mensa I think. (some of these questions really got me confused) http://www.mensa.org/workout2.php dont know what the iq mark is though. Here is another good one: gives a score if you click "view sample report": http://www.iqtest.com/prep.html

Unless its written into the policy I cant see it would make any difference to be honest, its a standard button on the car, and can quite easily be turned on/off when trying to wash the headlamps Ive planted my foot in the wet with the traction control ON and its still wiggles like mad and could get you into trouble - with it off, Im fairly certain I would stack it up in the wet if I was heavy footed. In all honesty, I would never switch it off with even the slightest whiff of damp in the air.

Sorry to see that The main thing is you are ok - the cars just a chunk of metal and plastic at the end of the day, and as you say, lucky your wife wasn't in at the time. Hope everything goes smoothly with the insurance and any purchase of a replacement.

Crikey! And aiming for 1000hp? Surely thats likely to do about 2 miles before going bang! ?

Ive still to get one sorted on mine, its about 6 inch behind the door though, so no idea whether there is a way in with the tools. Possibly may be a route in from above with the roof cover lifted. There have been several reports of excellent work from Denttec on here, and its where Ill be taking mine without a shadow of a doubt.

If its not been used for a while the motion can be a little "jerky" when putting the roof down - it gets about half way then springs back a little bit. Well mine does anyway. Other than that, no issues at all. (franticaly looking for wood to touch )
