Re: Today’s want

I’d bet the bed doesn’t have a floor. They would’ve cut it out to fab the rear end, then covered it and called it done because they got lazy :lol:

Re: Mountain Biking general thread

+1 I used to be lax about wearing my helmet around town but a bad crash last year would’ve meant at least brain damage if I hadn’t been wearing it.

I’ve always worn one off road.

There’s no good reason not to wear one.

Re: EV Thread

Yeah that Hipster concept is cool. Dacia is doing quite interesting things with cheap EVs imo. I’ve seen more of those little Spring things than I might’ve expected considering the range.

Re: The ebay thread

I watched that SD1 video the other day and it looks great on those XJ220 wheels.

Take the stupid engine out and put a nice V8 in.

The majority of it would be in property and stock so it’s not really propping up the local economy is it?

Re: Bye Bye Rachel Reeves


And, economically, what happens if I don't do that because you incentivise me not to? Nor all the others that currently do?

I'll give you an answer - GDP reduces and everyone will have to pay more tax much further down the income distribution.


This is just me being a wacky radical again but I ...

Re: Bye Bye Rachel Reeves

You might want to make working yourself to death for a nicer house a virtue but I wouldn’t say it should be national policy, no.

Re: Bye Bye Rachel Reeves



Yous are ridiculous.

You don’t want to pay the tax and we shouldn’t make the people who can afford it pay it, so we should be squeezing people who are already struggling to cover their cost of living to pay more?

Re: Bye Bye Rachel Reeves

Starmer’s labour lying can’t be a surprise these days.

We should really be overhauling the tax system tbh. Get rid of that “60% trap” folk are always crying about and increase the personal allowance at the other end.

If you think £45k doesn’t go far these days try living on £25k (full time salary ...

A £45k salary definitely puts you in a better position than most people.
