    There's a couple of 981s under £40K now at OPCs.
  2. People feel more comfortable if they have something/someone to blame problems on. Hence, more diagnoses are being made simply to keep people quiet. Of course, there are some folks that genuinely fall into the category of being diagnosed correctly, and it's these people that end up suffering. Sadly for the medical and psychological professions it's getting increasingly harder for people to understand that there is simply still a lot we don't fully understand about the human body, so they refuse to accept an answer of "We don't know what's wrong with you". They kick and scream so much that they end up being pigeon-holed for the sake of keeping them content.
  3. Blimey. Was she drunk at the time of asking? Congrats dude, I'm really pleased for you both
  4. I checked Enterprise, they specifically exclude driving outside of the UK & Ireland on their website. Of course, they may well be more accommodating if you ring them, but that's all I could see on there for now.
  5. It's an issue because Labour want to make it one. They see them as awful for people as it guarantees the person zero income, which makes it hard to plan for a life. On the other hand, the Tories see them as helpful as they allow people a chance to get at least some work rather than claim 100% of the JSA. No right or wrong answer, it depends on which side of the fence you sit on. Personally I don't see the harm, but I guess if I was reliant on them then it may make it harder for me to start a proper life. Of course, if that were the case I'd go and do something about it like make myself more employable, but some people would rather blame every one else for their problems.
  6. No, you don't get a retainer. Again, not aimed at skilled staff, so they cannot demand a retainer to be put in their contracts.
  7. I put that just in case he ever got stuck in the USA. Now edited, ta.
  8. I'm not sure what you're asking here mate? Clearly a contract of this type is not aimed at you: It's aimed at minimum wage workers in cities, who will do pretty much anything at the lower end of the wage scale. Company A needs 10 people for a shift at Generic Fast Food Restaurant, they call 20 people the day before telling them to come in, 5 don't bother showing up but 15 do. They employ the first 10 to arrive, the other 5 get sent home.
  9. Under the paragraph that says "Number of contracted hours per week" in the contract, it says "0" presumably. There's just no guarantee of work, that's all.
  10. Buy a shed and sell it when you get back, will be cheaper than anything you can hire.

    For £25K you'll be getting a 3.4L 987.2, so DFI and no worries about engine failures from IMS or bore scoring etc. Best sports coupe produced for sensible money that you can buy.
  12. It's being employed directly so PAYE but with no guarantee of hours.
  13. Apparently there's these national companies that can do this now, I think they're called the AA or RAC. You might've heard of them... Why did you remove the spare and not take out breakdown cover?!
  14. There's loads of bloody room, just drive with a bit of care at a low speed and you'll be fine. The 911 is much wider than the Zed and it was fine, as was my old Zed on there previously.
  15. Except for contributing towards the economy by allowing business to carry on as usual, therefore generating taxable profits. Still, it's a drop in the ocean. I'm far more concerned about Nicola Sturgeon using Wallace as her lap dog than I am a few dodgy immigrants.

    Nope, I was 25 when we met though... Happily married for three years now, no-one saw that coming back then!

    I missed it too, which is why I ended up hooking up with a girl ten year my junior
  18. I think that was my point about 10 pages back...

    That's the best phase, man!
  20. That's why they've had the TG and BBC stuff removed.

    20? Pfft, too old
  22. Right, so it's just a legal way of letting the live shows go ahead then. Let's see if the Stig appears...

    I think McLaren call them butterfly doors. I like them, but not a reason to buy a car for them.
  24. See, that's the problem with the Welsh, always have to ask for permission Given my surname is Morgan, you can see that this is firmly tongue in cheek
