Lol, so basically we're in complete agreement then

Meh. Working at an airport, I guess I'm just a bit casual when it comes to the alert states now. I see them as nothing more than a political tool really, used to justify spending money (or not) in certain areas. Oddly this actually does nothing to how the security forces react as far as I'm aware, as it's classed in the same heightened state as severe. Attacks are prevented by intelligence these days, so they can pretty much call the threat level whatever they want as either the intelligence works, or it doesn't.

No chance, Hamilton is far more marketable to the world than Rosberg. They would happily drop the German/Finn/Monacoite if they could keep Lewis behind the wheel.

Sounds like the woman who lives across the road from me. Every night we hear her come back in her Aygo, VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM goes the engine as she attempts to park in on her drive. I asked her husband about it once, apparently she's been through three clutches in 25k miles

Pfft, I use Ocado. Or rather, the butler does, it's far beneath me to buy my own shopping. Great numbers Steve, 10kgs in 4 weeks is outstanding stuff mate, really chuffed for you Have you noticed much difference in your clothes yet? Tell you what, how's about this for a challenge: Keep the weight loss thing going. If you can get down to 15st by Christmas, I'll donate £10 to any charity of your choice. Straight up, no questions. You've got 16 weeks, so loads of time. 106kg to 95kg, give or take. Up for it?

Every single time the naysayers have made a comment, we've backed it straight up with the words "Any money is a good thing". I'm not sure how many more times we can repeat ourselves. I just don't feel that you should donate to charity because of peer pressure. You should do it because you want to, because you care about the cause. That's it.

Just a few mapping issues to get sorted now, hopefully pick the car up this weekend to bring back down south and then get it sorted. Let me know what Cadwell is like, still haven't been there yet.

Did anyone watch Star Paws last night? Full of famous animals! I love Grumpy Cat so much

But the reason for the water throwing was to create awareness. Now everyone knows about it, there's no point and you might as well just donate the money, if you feel compelled to. I've been nominated twice now. Thankfully, no-one has followed up on the nomination.

Not for £7k. It's a 2003 with rusty arches, I'd be looking more at £6k absolute tops for a minter.

Be worth a fortune today, too

Nah, orange! I wondered what the proper term was

Where does he say he doesn't? You're being deliberately obtuse. Let me state this again, just for absolute clarity: NO-ONE WHO WANTS A CORVETTE IS GOING TO GIVE A SIDEWAYS GLANCE AT A BLOODY VAUXHALL.

And still look much uglier, and still have two more seats, and not be able to take the roof off...

Bloke down my road has three of them, two black and one orange. Proper puffy things though, not trimmed like the one in that video, but immaculately groomed. Really friendly little things too

"So, I've got £30K in the bank for a V8 muscle car*, and man do I really fancy a Corvette! But wait, I could have a Monaro for £15K less, that's totally what I'm going to buy!" Said no-one, ever. *Corvette isn't a muscle car, but I let it slip this once.

Huzzah! I'll let the boss know, thanks mate!

I'm leaving work in 50mins, so we'll have to agree I'm right before then

Avensis and the MR2 have the same engine, so they're the same as well. Might as well get the Avensis seeing as how they both go the same.

Ah, Addison Lee, no taste

Drive both a Monaro and a C6 'Vette, then tell me if you think they're remotely comparable. Hint: They're not. Dave put it very well.

And? What has straight line speed got to do with it?

Pearoast

Please tell me you don't actually believe that. ONE HAS FOUR SEATS AND IS A WAFTING BARGE. ONE IS A TWO SEAT SPORTS CAR. It's like comparing an M3 and a 360.

Are you really suggesting that someone who is interested in a Corvette should get a Monaro instead? That's a bit like someone coming on here and saying they can afford MPSS and what do people think of them, and someone recommending Falkens when the person didn't remotely ask about them in the first place, and their budget happily covers the premium option :p But really, no-one looking at 'Vettes is going to settle for a Monaro. Completely different cars.
