No, they are utter utter cunts. They gave me an 8.5k tax rebate, my wife does my tax return and she contacted them multiple times to say I am not owed a return, so not pay it etc. no problem madam, it won’t go through and we have ammended it. So they paid me 8.5k and annoyingly I was working away an...

There is a road in our town with parking on one side and houses on the other. It has a gentle curve and if people stick rigidly to the lane markings then traffic stops. As it does when someone new or not confident drives it. You move out of your lane to give other people the space to proceed in the ...

Go to a club at 01:00 wearing your work uniform and pre-order an Uber at 01:05 and have some fun

A weird one yesterday, a friend has an EQC300 as a test as his company car needs changing and he had it on 24 hour test. Firstly, with 4 fully grown men in the car you would be at the max vehicle weight, which is ridiculous as it’s only a GVW of 3T. Secondly, the performance is strange as it launche...

Judging by the amount of attached tat, the red defender driver is definitely a rural Ronnie Pickering. No, fat from it. He will be an emergency fast responder the first time a snowflake touches the ground. He will bravely park next to deep puddles, ambers flashing, a beacon of hope in world ending ...

The Continental It’s really a mini series but each episode is well over an hour long. It’s how the Continental came to be how it is in its current set up. Episode 1 was a bit strange, the characters are all great but seemed to be missing lots of back story. Amazing music really sets this apart. Exce...

As ludicrous as that is, with the silliest acceleration videos outside of a proper drag car, after a week it would just gather dust.

It’s like a university study of what’s achievable with 4 wheels but a Street eliminator car does it in a much more exciting way.

Dave!

Hold on there, they say they are genuine.

Probably cheaper than a painter and decorator.

What are your rates ?

Dave!

The pedal stop adjuster once jammed into my Halfords floor mats.

Luckily with 110hp, 2.5 tons and the performance on offer. I had time to finish my sandwich before anything exciting was going to happen.

Dave!

A Montego TD can do 100mpg, not turning the engine on doesn’t count.

Dave!

I say give everyone what they want and let the 5% provide all

I don’t think people are dicks, some I wouldn’t share my chips with though.

Dave!

It was kind of to both of you. I’m not sure how you’ve concluded that clearly any rule changes will favour workers though. I’ve seen it from both sides….. I grew up surrounded by the work shy, always with a scam and wondering why my parents didn’t have anything more but were always working. I also ...

What are the incentives for EVs? If it is like in Norway that's surprising. But, the area in scope (for now) it is easily avoided. A few years ago a low spec 520D was more expensive than a top of the range Model S. Plus ferry travel was free, no payment into cities, free parking etc. This nearly wr...

After growing up in a council house in a 100% council area I would say at the very least 50% of the workshy were faking it or at the very least playing the system.

The sooner this happens the better.

How you would go about doing it fairly though will be one hell of a job.

Dave!

Normally not a fan of red but that makes it look even more special. The opposite of Ferraris which always look more special when they aren’t red.

Dave!

Even though it doesn’t really make much difference at all addresses I think mine is 1 of about 30 possible houses. If theirs is similar I can see why people are a bit weary. I’ve spoken to a couple of friends who have had some very dodgy buyers of cars and quite intimidating characters trying to sca...

That will be a cracking place to be on long journeys

Dave!

Gus O’Connors pub in Doolin in Clare serves the best pint of Guinness in the world. And that’s a confirmed fact No, an Irish pub in Kampala Uganda did the best pint of Guiness as it sits in the barrels longer when sailing over and warms up while travelling. Also, an Irish pub in Ghana said the same...

I think they have a flash point that is quite low so would probably be a big fire risk.

Dave!

It will probably be a mechanical seal, we have them on all our water pumps, oil pumps etc and they work great. The issue is the damage caused and the heat cycles things go through. I know they say electric is great, no need to warm through etc but that is such utter bullshit. They don’t change the l...
