And hang on, they're RING donuts! Jam filled or nowt, I'm afraid.

And proper cider too

Other side, I'm a contractor

You're a QS?! They make my life miserable, so I retract all my previous advice :p Further to my advice about the mortgage type, do go and see your local/preferred IFA and get them to check the figures and small print for you on that before committing either way. Meant to add that to my post originally, sorry.

Ah, with you now.

412/659 MPs voted for the invasion, on all sides (LD and SNP excluded). It was the right thing to do based on the info we had, and even know we know that the WMD 45min claim was baloney it was still the right thing to do to remove Saddam from power. Ultimately it was the lack of planning to leave a stable government that made the whole war a mess, not the belief of doing the right thing. Even if Stu has only voted Labour, it doesn't mean he was for the war. You can happily believe either way that the war was right or wrong, and still have an opinion on the continued use of Trident.

1. If you can, go for a proper mortgage rather than a HTB one. I suspect it will be cheaper long term paying the extra interest rate rather than paying the rent and then more on top when you sell. 2. Extras: Honestly, probably not a lot. Demand for homes is immense, and you're lucky to get one at all these days. By all means try for appliances etc but I think you'll be lucky. I'd be asking them to paint the walls to my own colours rather than generic magnolia, unless you want that of course. 3. Honestly, I'd rather be buying my own stuff than getting them to chuck any old cheap crap in.

That was the first one I found after a google for Jenson Button angry radio, I'm sure there's others

Perhaps, but I'd rather have it and not use it etc. The world changes so quickly, we couldn't imagine having not had the nuclear deterrent thirty years ago, and we may well be very grateful to have it in thirty years time. Or it may turn out to be a waste of money completely as the New World Order under The Almighty Corbyn has us all living in communes in a field, sharing our cattle with the state. If it is a waste then I'm sure we can just flog it to the Saudis as usual

Hissy fit mode engaged

How TM went from looking like the best PM we've had in years from her first speech to becoming possibly the worst in modern times (I'll ignore Gordon Brown for now), I've no idea. She literally couldn't have done any worse if she'd tried.

I'd rather spend money on Trident than the NHS and education. I mean, not one at the expense of the other completely because that's daft, we're just unfortunate that the Trident needs replacing now rather than a few years in the future. Tax breaks are only useful if they bring in more money than actual taxes. I have no idea on the exact figures right now, but I do know that raising CT would be a death blow to SMEs right now, so I'm against that in principle.

£1Bn for a functioning government is worth every penny. Even though it wouldn't have come to this if, y'know, you'd bothered to actually campaign.

I'd go and try one, only way you'll know for sure tbh.

:lol: Okay then.

Sounds more like you picked the wrong insurer than anything.

I'm not optimistic, I just know my rights and how to get what I need. I managed to get my car repaired rather than written off when a lorry drove into it, which is easier said than done on a 12 year old BMW that had depreciated like a stone. For GZ, this is incredibly straightforward. I wouldn't be concerned at all, and if he wants a hand he only has to ask.

All of them, I think. But that's what it takes to get to the top, they're all as bad as each other on their day. I like Seb as a person, and rate him massively as a driver. But this wasn't on at all.

What colour is it? Which wrap?

Just a sh*t cat then. I'd be irritated too tbh, but Adrian is correct when he says that no manufacturer would guarantee an emissions pass. One of those things, sadly.

Only just seen the Vet/Ham footage. How on earth Seb only got a 10 sec S&G for that, I've no idea. Clearly Lewis wasn't at fault in the slightest as the stewards had a good look at his data trace and took no action, but how you can get away with pulling alongside and ramming your car into the safety car (which is what Lewis was at that point), I've no idea at all. That's mind boggling stuff. At the very minimum he should've been black flagged and removed from the race, more reasonably would've been to have had a 3-5 race ban. This wasn't an over-ambitious move into a corner, or screaming down the pit lane, this was deliberately ramming another car at low speed because you had the hump. Inexcusable behaviour, from both Seb and the stewards.

Sometimes they just need to get really hot before taking the test, did they try that?

Suffice to say a HEPA filter is not exactly worth worrying about, and if the insurers have to pay more to get the colour you had then who cares? It's not betterment in terms of spec if you get exactly what you had, and the cost is the cost. Imagine if you bought a LaFerrari a couple of years back for £1M, they're now going for £4.5M so that's what they'd have to cough up. Not something I'd lose any sleep over. I appreciate you're upset about losing your dream car, but you're going to get 99% of the exact same car back but newer: Seriously, chill out and just let things happen. These things happen, it's all going to get sorted, it may just take time. Life's too short to sweat stuff like this.

Always flash or wave

Single cat compared with two is never going to be as good, better to either run normal cats or decats & change for MOT I reckon. Personally I'd do the latter, even if the MOT place charges you £50 for the privilege.
