Massively missing the point. Even if you never, ever go anywhere near the level of grip offered by car, tyre or driver, you get more miles out of them per pound spent. The fact they handle superbly is a bonus in that regard.

Thanks guys. Genuinely much appreciated, always happy to learn new things My views on donating for this have not changed, though.

That's what the boot is for

So what's the budget?!

^^^ genius.

Night drives pwn all. Especially in a convertible, there is no finer driving experience.

I doubt that anyone truly understands what ALS/MND actually is, myself included.

I'm not ignoring your post Steve, but I don't have an answer for it. I feel for your sister, you and your family, and it must be awful to know there's nothing you can do. Life isn't fair, and bad things happen to good people, but none of that claptrap makes your situation any easier to bear.

So hang on Rich, you don't rate the MPSS but you've never tried them? Sorry mate, but you're wrong. They've significantly moved the game on in what people should expect from a tyre on a sports car. On a wafting barge like your Jag I'm sure you'd not notice any difference apart from getting twice the mileage for 1/3 more money, but for those of us with cars that handle they are a cut above when it comes to handling characteristics. OP, the F1s are much better than the Kumhos.

You need to try putting some balm on afterwards. I use Nivea For Men Sensitive post shave balm, works a treat.

Being aware has nothing to do with it, or shouldn't have. It should be about something you care about. In a more direct answer to your question, I'm not sure I have an answer for you. I'm not sure anyone could.

Me too, I've been doing it for years. Normally I just trim everything up with a set of clippers, but a couple of times a year I'll break the wet shave out as well and do it properly.

Giving money to charity is good, mostly. Giving it to one you actually care about is better. Fair enough?

Nothing, if you ignore the fact that makes most people doing it sanctimonious cretins. On the flip side, this may mean that donations to other charities go down as people feel they've done their bit for this year.

Yes, but if people feel so strongly about a cause they're willing to give money to complete strangers, why are they not doing it without a wacky stunt? Most famous people are doing it simply because they don't want negative publicity, and a lot of people on FB are doing it because they want to see their mates look silly.

I think SMD is referring to people donating because they want to, rather than being nominated in a wacky stunt.

So you get a sh*t service just to get some free Amazon vouchers?! How many vouchers do you get, and how much does being with them for three months with crap service cost you?

Just ring up and cancel, easy.

Well yeah, but I'm assuming they're vaguely competent!

Nope, it's just a clutch on a Nissan.

A good point, but they never know when that money is coming in and so may have to pass up opportunities for research because of timing. If you know the money is coming steadily in, then you can plan and budget accordingly. Anyway, Patrick Stewart did the best one that I've seen. Legend.

Sorry, couldn't resist! I have no idea, but I would say that a company that leaves you hanging on hold when all you want to do is buy something wouldn't be getting much of my money.

Cancel EE, take line with BT. /thread

Well yeah, I guess that's pretty much how I feel about it. Care about the cause and donate regularly, or don't and don't.

Of course every little helps, but if people really cared about the cause (and let's be honest, most people don't give a fig about ALS or MND) they'd support it continually. Go and ask a charity if they'd rather one-offs or subscriptions. I'll be amazed if they say the former.
