how did you know it was rare if you dont know the model It's like a good steak. Rare is blue, medium is pink and well done is brown.

He's well within his rights to report her, but for me, he can keep the bollocking for a cycle circle jerk later on. When that vid popped up the other day of that tit who rode straight into the back of the parked driving school car, the guy got out to check the rider was ok and for damage, not to gleefully dish out a citizen's dressing down whilst thumbing himself.

I didn't say they don't make money (see post #123), just that it's not the remit of the BBC. The Worldwide arm is very much a commercial venture, but it's there to maximise income from recycling content made for British viewers, not to steer the ship. Even in post #127 it states it only accounts for 10% of the bill for TV programming, where does the other 90% come from? Not to mention the funding for the rest of their activities like radio and the web. So again, I'm saying viewing figures are not the main driver of the organisation. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's actually responsible for delivering content that isn't always commercially viable, as it gives opportunities for things to make it on to TV which wouldn't do if purely commercial factors were considered. So there's no need for TG to pander to existing viewers, in preference to taking risks to recruit some new ones.

Its not about who watches, its about how many people watch, its a numbers game, plain and simple, if you think TG will be better off because it attracts a better, but lesser audience your very much mistaken, its a business which needs revenue, will you still think its "great" if they loose those viewers and they are not replaced on mass and the show is canned? As said elsewhere i think xfactor, celebrity etc are all a load of dross, but whilst ever they get ratings from whatever demographic they will be on our screen, i am not going to whinge about the credentials of the audience and the show isnt what "I" want, i just wont watch and find something else to enjoy. The BBC's remit is not to provide broadcasting where the be all and end all is viewing figures. Commercial broadcasters do that, in effect to sell advertising space. The global arm is a commercial piece, whose operations shouldn't supersede its luxurious position of having a legally protected income stream. They say themselves that "Our mission - To enrich people's lives with programmes and services that inform, educate and entertain. Our vision - To be the most creative organisation in the world." There's nothing in there about maximising shareholder earnings or capturing % of viewing public. If the licence fee is scrapped and the BBC has to operate without state sponsorship, then it will be welcome to chase viewers, but until then it is not Sky or ITV and required to pander to the people who watch the most TV and chase advertisers.

So long as CE sheds the crowd of outraged, oppressed, "we have a hell of a time of it nowadays", "JC tells it like it is" (did he? ever? once?), "I can't say whatever I want anymore, what with the gays and the women and the asylum seekers", it'll be a giant leap forward for Top Gear. If they lose these viewers, great, a herd needs a cull every now and again. The more dinosaurs who get stuck in the tar and left behind for extinction the better the pool who aren't allergic to change will be. Good luck to Evans, hopefully his arrival will mean there's one fewer (disproportionately loud) mouthpiece, faux-bleating on about the plight of the Middle Englander who's got it so damn tough now, as every other socio cultural demographic continues the glacial plod forward to redress years of imbalance.

Nice one, glad you've found it.

Wheeled Detailing Stool **NOW A GROUP BUY**post 37 for details

Errrr, something weird happened. This thread was started on Saturday and it progressed in line with a drinking session I was somewhat involved with, then a big box mysteriously arrived in the post. It really is a top piece of kit! All built for you (thank god), you just screw the wheels on as needed. 4 for regular style or all 6 if you want to go fully horizontal. In fact it is so good. When the GB kicks off, I may well get a round one too! Sorry for the early wad blow, I blame the drink. Phones need a breathalyser.... -
Ricey is just down the road for Warrington isn't he? There's loads of examples of work on the website and on here. http://www.revolveautomotiveltd.com/valeting-detailing/ http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/220-revolve-automotive-ltd/ Defo worth a PM.

I hope they know what they're doing, people seem to have forgotten all the trouble when Sheffield United and Oldham tried to bring him in after the prison stretch

Cheapest option might be to stump up for the initial correction professionally then learn how to maintain it safely. It's concieveable you could spend more money (and lots more time) doing/learning the correction yourself than getting a pro to do it. Also a good detailer will do a fabulous job first time! Edit: ilgoikal beat me to it!

Maybe a change within IT, development or analysis? I know it may not seem very glamourous on the face of it but there's a drive for more in house development in some government departments, it's not as high paced as the real world, but the worklife balance is strong and the pension (though not as good as it was) still compares favourably to many private sector opportunities. http://digital.dwp.gov.uk/careers/#vacancies

My only experience is limited, but does the original video frame rate match the settings on the working project and export you did? Also are both memory cards the same spec and fully able to cope with the bit rate of your camera?

I've read this is the usual fix but the sound seems to be coming from outside the car. Almost directly behind the pedal but on the outside. Could this still be the cause of the squeaking? Impossible for me to tell from a noise alone, but thought it was worth a couple of quid as a first port of call. Good luck sorting, hope it's nice and simple.

Mine did this when I bought it, it hadn't done many miles so was perhaps a little under used for the age. A liberal dose of white lithium grease on the big spring on the back of the clutch pedal and then pumping the clutch up and down a good few times, several days on the bounce, made it disappear. Dirt cheap to buy, so worth a shot before replacing parts IMHO.

Which is odd, as the iPhone corrects iphone to iPhone automatically. You've been watching CSI again

Replacement slave cylinder and some fresh fluid cured this for me.

I'm not a roadster owner, so I can't really imagine this seal, but can't you get at it with steam or compressed air?

Needs some of those "stories" along the bottom like: "10 celebs you won't believe are over 85" "3 things you can eat to grow a big **** and lose weight fast" "A monkey came into the office with a dildo, you won't believe what it did next!" Looks nice and clean, nice job

Great write up. I can't help get a warm feeling in my tummy stick about the new Mustang, but the 370, well its a ZED!

I have one in the garage if you have no luck. I'd have to inspect it for marks, but drop me a PM if you have no joy.

I like to go for forum trader, as their subs keep the lights on and they've all been spot on whomever I used As for the pads themselves, I like my ferrodo DS2500s but there's literally loads of choice, so your budget and plans for tracking etc might help people give a more informed opinion.
