  1. Bit out of the way from London Fodder, we're near clacton on Sea. Sounds interesting though
  2. Liking some of these ideas guys, go ape is something the team suggested before, have been considering it but again may not suit those less active of them. These car based treasure hunts seem interesting and has got me thinking
  3. I'm looking to arrange a team building / fun event for my team at work and was hoping I could tap in to some of the minds on here for some ideas... Last year we all went go karting and had a blast, this year I'm trying to think of something different - the staff dynamic has changed a little since last year and we now have a few more "older people who might not enjoy pissing around in toy cars " Paintballing was an idea though for the above reason might not be as popular, I'm looking for something a little more involving than Bowling, a meal out or going out for drinks - I'd like something where people have to work together or work against each other and have a laugh too. There are a few corporate events companies i've seen online that do things like gameshows. (Total wipe out, the Qube, it's a knockout etc) These look great but as budget is quite limited they're probably a no go. So if you guys have any ideas i'm all ears
  4. I had no idea appliance based watersports was such a common thing!
  5. Oops, as hilarious as that post is... that's not the one! Have corrected it
  6. ....I didn't, but I just stumbled across this old thread on pistonheads. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=210&t=507284&p=1 Made me laugh, anyone got any others?
  7. Just stumbled upon this How much carries over to the production model is yet to be seen, but she's beautiful
  8. Do you find working out helps your hayfever? I really struggle at the beginning of a workout with my hayfever, but after a little while it's cured
  9. I think a nice subtle shade of bronze works well, have been contemplating it on my grey Z.
  10. I think the only negative is the one on your bank statement after getting it
  11. Well your friends are selling drugs on the side , they're working more hours than you or you're on the wrong tax code. £6.50 an hour isn't tax free, your first £11000 in earnings P/A is tax free this is your personal allowance, so if someone was only to work about 30 hours per week then they wouldn't be taxed, do 50 at the same rate then they would be.
  12. Just for arguments sake, someone on minimum wage of £6.50 will earn roughly same as someone on around £8-8.50 an hour due to taxes. Well not exactly, working 40 hours a week at £6.50 will total £12200 after tax. 40 hours per week at £8.50 will total roughly £15200 after tax Not the hugest of differences but the difference is almost enough for the requirements of the ISA.
  13. I live in a little village, just now got tailgated then overtaken by a clapped out mondeo easily approaching 100 in a 30. Nob.
  14. I keep mine in the roof, best place to keep it - put your hand in the gap where the roof meets the front windscreen, it'll definitely be there.
  15. Lol I don't mind him, that Alex bloke from "car throttle" though, what an Annoying t**t.
  16. I've tried the marmite chocolate bars, just tastes like chocolate with the tiniest hint of something spicy... If you didn't have the marmite packaging you wouldn't even know!
  17. Actually, I remember reading a case study with four groups of participants, 2 on Roids, 2 natural. With all diets being the same varying on body weight. Group 1 - Natural, not working out. Group 2 - Weekly injections of 600 mg of testosterone enanthate and Not working out Group 3 - Natural following a regular gym routine Group 4 - Weekly injections of 600 mg of testosterone enanthate and following the regular gym routine. If I remember rightly The results were as expected for group 1, no changes, though group 2 who took steroids and did nothing still gained 7lbs of muscle!!, group 3 gained 4lbs which is about right (Pretty good!) For 10 weeks training and Group 4 I think put on about 12lbs Literally just got home from work so will have to find a link to the study and get back to you...
  18. Its your house and your fire so providing you follow the manufacturers instructions and fit it correctly then there is no reason why you can`t. You just need a qualified gas service engineer who is ticketed for gas fires to connect the last part of the gas supply and commission it. ( ex gas engineer mate in case you were wondering ) I'm quite interested in the role of a Gas engineer and the pay with it, wondering if I can get some insight from you on the job, how difficult was training and getting into the job and did you enjoy it?
  19. Well of course, I understand it would be hard to find sympathy for someone you don't know and also without knowing the circumstances but I don't believe driving like a complete idiot and driving too fast for road conditions are entirely the same thing, I think we can all confess to making a mistake on the road, coming out of a bend too fast or braking too late etc, chances are we get a scare and learn from it, some just don't get that wake up call. I have a lot of respect for the road and wouldn't defend reckless driving I just don't believe, knowing him that it was.
  20. All in your opinion of course, I've been told just recently I'm 'a c*cky little p**ck in my porsche'
