Re: Oliver Reed (25 year anniversary)
Ah, simpler times. They don't make 'em like that anymore. The armwrestling is just the icing on the cake. Two stories I heard this week from podcasts and books... Duff McKagan when trying to kick his vodka habit switched to wine. 10 bottles a day. And Paul Gascoigne was having a crap game in the fir...

Re: Tony Martin Pt2
I'd assume any farmer will have at least a shotgun given how easy they are to get and how they need them for their job. So... fuck around and find out. Will be interesting to see how this pans out. Its been something we'd been discussing here actually as I've been learning to shoot and next move wil...

@DeskJockey - it was the Rated People app/website. We've had a reasonable hit rate with that one.

Re: The House Projects Thread
I like the part of painting the big bits in the middle with a roller or brush. Very satisfying. Its the cutting in bit I don't like and anything fiddly where I usually lost patience.
I was happy as a pig in shit at the weekend doing all the fences and sheds last week with the spray gun.

Re: The House Projects Thread
It's been a mad week but big strides forward. It's amazing what you can do if you get lucky with the "find a trade" type websites. Two guys responded to the ad for tiling the small bathroom. Both came round. One was half the price of the other and said he could do the job this week. He's b...

Re: Tony Martin Pt2
I'd have thought just having a loaded shotgun pointing at them would be enough for the scrotes to scarper, but maybe the "aggravated" part meant the guy did feel in real danger. Or as Gavster says, he was at the end of his tether or had other stresses too. Or is it just a natural extension...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Thanks for taking the time to type that up, very useful. I've only ever driven manual ones up to the 360 I think - I know the first iterations of the F1 auto box had a bad rep but I wasn't sure if that was snobbishness or people being over-critical of it. The blog you linked-to is really useful. I h...

Re: Decent Recent TV
I finished Constellation on Apple TV and loved it. Noomi Rapace is an astronaut on the ISS and something happens which means when she returns to earth, not is all as it seems or as it should be.

Re: Your fleet running reports
The AWD system on the FF is utterly stupid. Does the Purosangue have the same system? You want a 612 - the best looking Ferrari ever made. And it’s simple RWD. I think the Purosangue is an entirely different system. The 612 is one of those cars which I think can look utterly amazing and utterly bla...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Apparently it's still an issue on the GT4C which I didn't realise. There seems to be a few proactive fixed by 3rd parties, but they ain't cheap either. So I guess its one of those cars which absolutely needs a warranty.

Re: Your fleet running reports
355 was always the one for me, but not sure how those values are. So can the man maths then say that actually a 360 or 458 is a better bet because you pay more up front… I think you’ll find a 355 is more than a 360 ! The 360 is cheap, and usable. That’s my boxes ticked. Of course it is, not sure wh...

I wasn't sure whether to read the book first or give the series a go, I think I'll just get on with the TV show.
