  1. You want the truth? I'm not even sure you can handle the truth! I wanted to add one extra item to the poll, but it wiped out all the previous votes. Scouts honour.
  2. Blonde on Blonde was not a reference to specialist web material, it was Bob Dylan.
  3. Done some jumbling around, lots of green up there, so looking good. Don't leave spaces unclaimed gang!
  4. Firstly, thanks for your contributions gang. Secondly, I broke the poll by accident, messing around with it. Sorry. Blue pink was wining. However, due to suspected Russian vote tampering, I've gone for steel nuts on pink countersunk washers. This gives me a bit of colour and if I get fed up, I only need to change the washers
  5. Although you're normally on the wrong side of the centre ground for me Dan, you do regularly make salient points. But the idea that Labour is specifically after you (and me!) as small businesses, yet letting Starbucks / Facebook / Vodafone / Google / etc off the hook, is all back to front. The Tories have gone after small businesses, look at the recent changes to IR35, flat rate VAT, dividend tax and the aborted NI shambles, yet they allow HMRC to simply ask big companies, "how much do you feel like paying?". They have done not a jot to address it with legislation, during an austerity period when the country needed the revenues most. The cuts to Corporation tax just make it easier for big business to further erode what little, comparatively, they pay. The Tories used to be the friend of all Businesses, now they're the friend of Big Business. Look at the recent story on Cameron lobbying Boris on behalf of Uber, desperately trying to help his mate in Big Business have a competive edge over the smaller cab companies, by trying to block legislation
  6. Who would stand in the way of an expecting father! I'm happy to give my slot on the 3rd June to G1en and go for July as I've got a lot on that month. Thanks for volunteering, I'll leave it to you lads to decide and then let me know.
  7. Can't cope with the paint flaking off.
  8. Blue is very close, blue on steel or vice Verda was my first choice. Sadly the golds options were not good, one was orange and the other was yellow. If I do go down the gold wheels road, they'll be closer to bronze than yellow gold, so it's a non starter sadly.
  9. You won't regret it, Stevie's talents are honed on rally stages, he'll have it out in no time.
  10. Ok mate, understood. I could ask for a later date for you, but it isn't going to be a squadron of Zeds. In fact with my BRZ, an R32 and Wasso's chimera I don't think there's a full day of Zed's in there!
  11. Sorry Glen, forgot about that, I'll see what I can do. Sadly the whole group can't move to 3rd June, as there are only two spaces on that day for the Performance Day.
  12. The nuts in my engine bay are painted, yes painted, body colour. This means if you so much as look at one, the paint flakes off and looks gash. Accordingly, I'm looking to get some nuts in. As there isn't an off the self nut sack that I really like, I'm going custom. I've measured each nut with a vernier gauge (they can nip quite harshly!) and ordered some samples to see what my new nuts might look like when I get them out. This is where you guys come in, how would you like me to present my nuts? Get voting. I promise to abide by the vote, so long as I like them and no Boaty McBoatface shenanigans occur.
  13. Exciting times gang, we've got some dates to work towards! Details moved to post 2 on page 1 for easy access.
  14. Get in touch with Stevie at Grinspeed in Leyland, genuinely superb service and well priced, I only ever go there and he's often got people in from all over the UK. Did the clutch and fly on my Zed. https://grinspeed.co.uk https://en-gb.facebook.com/Grinspeed-Motorsport-155836981151410/
  15. I sacked off PC gaming a while back, the only reason I could think to stick with it was if I was desperate to run Full HD (at the time) at high frame rates, or multiple screens. If you're just teetering around minimum spec and not feeling the power lust for 4K at 120fps, you may as well go console. I soon forgot about frame rates, resolutions, buying and fitting components, a dedicated monitor, it's not like current gen consoles are 32-bit! Can't remember the last time I thought about minimum system requirements, possibly Football Manager, but then that's a number not polygon cruncher. Join the console gang, it's so retro, it might actually be a bit hipster The PS3 was £425 on release in 2007, it's still in production 10 years later. Have a quick look and see what a £425 gaming setup from 2007 has available now!
  16. You know what, that's probably the best way of thinking of him I've ever heard. Absolutely spot-on, well said sir. Seems harsh when our current PM claimed last week God told her he'd have voted Leave. When an adult says they're hearing voices, they usually get a break from work. Say you believe an invisible, all poweful being guides you and your thoughts and apparently voters on both sides of the pond consider it desireable Have you got a source for that? I can find an article in which Alastair Campbell tries to suggest it, but can't actually find a quote of her saying it. Not at all, I was just being flippant.

  18. For me, the debates are not about knowing the policies, they've not changed for years, blue for small state, unregulated capitalism and red for larger state, socialism; with a few swingers in the middle to try and tempt the oppo voters. Also the manifestos will be available in PDF for our viewing pleasure anyway. In the last GE debates I liked seeing how they reacted to small bits of off piste discussion, having their anger piqued, occasionally getting the briefest glimpse of what they're like when things wander away from the scripted responses and they have to be borderline honest. Clegg did come over fairly well and got a bounce, which was good, he seemed like the closest one to a rough approximation of a human. May seems quite a capable speaker, so I'm not really sure why she's wet her knickers on this, other than she struggles when not reciting the gibberish like "Brexit means Brexit" and "God told me chocolate eggs are Christian".
