Marvellous service, thanks very much. Clutch bits ordered yesterday morning, arrived today!!!!!

Hopefully... I've just ordered it! Going to practice on the misses' car before tackling the Zed.....

I've been looking at a similar kit - think this is the same kit but quite a few quid cheaper: http://www.shopnshine.co.uk/das6-pro-dual-action-machine-polisher-scholl-kit

Funky paint job on that I've got it's big brother, the CBR1000RR... stupid amounts of fun!

Well... had I realised you could play this while sat on the bus, I might have got interested sooner! Spent my entire 50 minute journey this morning catching some little buggers, including some scary looking thing that kept escaping my pokeballs... guess I'm not man enough for the big monsters just yet (only managed to get to level 4 during the journey) Also helps that my office is a Pokestop, so can top up on goodies whilst sat at my desk! Shame though... just as I was starting to get interested the Japanese have been let loose, and bought the servers down! Suppose I'll have to get back to work then...

I bought one... worked perfectly with my AVH-X5800DAB... until I yanked on the AV cable to get some more freedom and broke it (so, yeah, don't do that!). Main thing is to ensure you choose correctly between PAL and NTSC formats... can't remember which one is right. I looked up the stats of the official Pioneer camera on-line, and made sure the ebay cheapy I ordered conformed to the same standards (mine was only about £12)

We used coffee granules... cats haven't crapped in our garden since!

Just to clarify... although you've put in 1.5 litres, do you know what the oil level was when you first got it? Could it simply be that the oil level was stupidly low when you got it?

Is the "Likes" count a count of the number of your posts that have been liked, or the total number of likes received? (After all, a post can have multiple likes). Why am I bothering to ask that?!?!?!

52 / 138 = 37.7%... read it and weep. The "138" is actually quoted as "Active Posts"... is this just all posts ever made, or does it mean something different?

If you have the Bose system (fairly sure you do) then yes, all speakers are powered from the amp (actually, I believe it is 2 amps)

Ha, what say do we have really? Hmmm, I'll have to get back to you on that

Wiping away the tears, picking my chin up, looking forward......... the next big challenge is the fact that our civil servants now have to re-write huge swathes of our legal framework (lucky them). Best we all retain our new-found obsession with politics and focus it on ensuring they don't f&*k it up!!!

I was just trying to explain the sentiment being expressed... one that's being expressed by a great many people of my age group. Don't shoot the messenger

I'm not sure that's what was meant (at least, I hope not)... just sadness that the people who are most going to have to deal with this decision, didn't want it.

Yeah, but wasn't he being interviewed by Susanna Reid? She's hardly Paxman!

Fixed that for you, cos God did it need it! Yeah totally what i meant... the perils of auto-correct!

^^^ agreed... i voted remain but in know way think leavers are racist bigots... no, theyre gullible media pawns, totally different ;-)

Is it ALL sources that are loud? If youve done the Buster mod the your running speaker-power outputs in to phono-level inputs... its gonna go loud, quick! On mine zero is silent, 1 is ok, 2 is perfect, 3 is loud, 4 is speaker-destroying...... it goes up to 20!!!

Boris... he kicked off the British media's biased reporting of EU affairs in the mid-eighties... and now he's reaping the benefits! Got to admire the man for having a 30 year vision and seeing it through

There's going to be a whole lot of unravelling bullsh!t in the upcoming weeks!!!

This was ages ago, back at the beginning of May, and as Dan said, one guy...actually Tusk who is head of the EC responded effectively defending Britain saying that Brussels understood there is a difference between a European Utopia and what is feasibly achievable. The fact that he responded in this way made the whole thing a non event and nobody ever noticed it until now. In any case, voted In just now, fingers crossed. That "breitbart" website is full of fabricated and over-egged stories. That's the website that carried a story proclaiming "Deutsche Bank predict MASSIVE growth for UK following Brexit"... in actual fact, Deutsche bank had proclaimed that in the post-Brexit carnage, the UK economy's crash is likely to lag behind the EU economy's crash, thus presenting a potential opportunity for international investment bankers to make some money! Further, Deutsche bank had gone on record, for months, stating that Brexit would be nothing other than bad for the UK and EU economies. Ignore whether you believe Deutsche bank or not... a "news" website really ought to report the truth!

Not the same, and you know it. the EU Commission hold the power and makes the rules. You get no votes, no say. They're unaccountable, and unelectable. That's not really accurate though is it. The Commission is APPOINTED by the Council, in the exact same way our Lords are appointed by our Commons. They have a term (just like our Lords) after which they have to be re-appointed or ditched by whatever elected Council (or Commons) are in place at that time. It's a time-honoured and well-established shape for a democratic 2-house system, used the world over. How does that make what I said not accurate? You've just agreed that the decision making system is APPOINTED, not voted. That the system of decision making...the place where the real power is, is APPOINTED, not democratically elected. Because, it's not true to say you "no say", as you put it... it's a gross over-simplification. No democracy is perfect, its always a compromise... people have been trying to find the best compromise since the ancient Greeks. The EU democratic system is every bit as democratic (or un-democratic, depending on your viewpoint) as the UK system. How? You tell me how a Politburo style committe of decision makers, that you do not elect, you cannot dismiss, have no influence over, that meet in secret is the same as a Parliamentary democracy with elected representatives of the people, that all meet in one place, discuss the bills publically and openly and vote on whether an bill is a good one or a bad one, before they're allowed to make it law You tell me how the hell those two systems are the same Think you're confused... I'm likening our Lords to the EU Commission, and our Commons to the EU Council (in terms of electability at least, if thats a word). We do not elect our Lords, they are appointed, by those that we've elected, in the same way as EU Commissioners are appointed by the Councillors we've elected. Both sets of appointed houses (UK Lords and EU Commissioners) have a lifespan, after which they are re-appointed by the elected houses... it's really not that difficult to understand. As for "meeting in secret", not sure where that one comes from at all! Are you just referring to not being able to see them on Parliamentary Channel?!?!?! That's not the same by any measure. For it to be accurate, the House of Lords would have to be the House that makes all the laws and decisons. It's not, Parliament is. All the HoL does is read bills and rejects or amends them, they then get sent back to parliament to be revised/debated on. Both Houses are safety measures, and compliment each other. That's why so many countries around the world adopted the very same system. The EU commission, on the other hand, operates exactly like the USSR Politburo. Exactly. They're both unelected. They're both appointed. They both make laws and decisions as they see fit, and there is absolutely no recourse to oppose them, remove them, or elect them by the people. That is what you are voting for tomorrow, and I think 95% of the population, maybe more, don't realise that. They're voting blind. You keep saying that about the EU commission, but it's simply not true. UK: Elected House dreams up laws, Appointed house approves/denies/comments them. EU: Appointed House dreams up laws, Elected house approves/denies/comments them. (The fact they have to move to another city to do the approving/denying/commenting is one good reason to vote leave!) In both cases the Appointed House has a limited lifespan, and is appointed by the elected house. If anything, the EU is MORE democratic than the UK system, because in the EU the entire house gets to elect the "supreme leader", whereas in UK the largest party does it in isolation (and scarily, can theoretically do so whenever they feel like it!)

No, I'm saying that if the only country that did have a referendum on the Lisbon treaty said no, then it shouldn't be forced on that electorate anyway. If the vote tomorrow goes either way and we do the opposite thing, are you going to feel like our democracy is working? Errrm... I guess you didn't click the link? It was written by professor Alan Johnson. Considering the title of the article is called "Why I am voting Leave, by Professor Alan Johnson" I thought that would be fairly obvious. Maybe you got to the word "Leave" and stopped reading? Oh, unless you mean all the quotes inside the bit I quoted? They all have names next to them also. Failed to spot a hyperlink in your posts (there are 57 pages of this drivel now!!!!)... I apologise... I shall happily read it through (although I fail to see what relevance an Irish referendum on an EU policy has to do with the "electability" debate). As for the "Leave" comment, I honestly am as open-minded as anyone else... there genuinely are plenty of VALID reasons to want to leave the EU, but the "the EU is not elected" tripe is not one! (and it's a particular bugbear of mine).

The link I posted above gives a good example of how democratic the EU is: Aside from the fact that "quote" is non-attributed, and is the most poorly written thing I have ever read, it actually doesn't touch on the points being argued between myself and Juggalo about the electability of the EU. (I've used that word again, must check a dictionary). My argument with Juggalo (and i mean that in the "discussion of opposing views" sense, rather than the "fisticuffs at dawn" sense) is that he writes repeatedly that "we cannot vote them out"... and that's what I've shown to be wrong, and that's what I mean by democracy. The article you've posted shows nothing more than the elected representatives getting on with their job. Are you saying there should have been a UK referendum on the Lisbon Treaty? If so, I can't disagree (without knowing the massive cost that might have incurred), but nonetheless, you can't expect a bunch of elected representatives to call a referendum every time they're asked to make a decision. Did we get a referendum on the continuation of Trident?
