Re: GB News
You know what I was saying, it would definitely be easier to discuss issues like this if we hadn't very recently told our closest neighbours to fuck off :lol: Yeah 'cos the EU have demonstrated they have such a commanding grasp of the migrant crisis eh? Particularly when it comes to agreeing strate...

Re: Why not a smart meter?
Some loons believe that because smart meters may ultimately enable providers to "manage" supply during busy periods, that's going to mean we'll all be sat in the cold and dark, with food rotting in our fridges and the only entertainment being to read by candleight (or fornicate I guess). ...

Mike, if you can't be bothered to watch it then I can't be bothered to precis it; here it is: https://youtu.be/IQmJbZxkVY8 Ok. Well, I've now been bothered to watch it, so you could precis it if you wanted, but then there'd be no point would there? :lol: I didn't see anything that put me off. He bo...

Re: Labour Party
Assuming we're including online press (where most people I'd wager get their news from) then I'm sure the split becomes a lot more even. Corbyn did not fail because of a Tory press.

Re: Labour Party
Labour's problem is a reluctance to accept the old Left wing politics just doesn't hold enough appeal, nationally, to win or sustain a majority New Labour was a success because they kept just enough of the left not to alienate too many of the the rank and file but adopted enough of the centrist and...

Re: Labour Party
It's staggering to think that there hasn't really been a true Labour party in power since I was 1yo.

Re: Coronavirus
Perhaps someone on that side of the planet can correct me, but as I understand it whilst Australia's (and NZ) initial attempts to isolate the country and 'keep C19 out' were successful, their vaccination procurement and subsequent administration has been less than successful. Ourworldindata has tot...

Re: £5k - what car
That's all good to hear. 8-) Sounds like it's as reliable as my E91 has been then. I'd still love a 6GC, even if only for a short period of time, but I'll likely only be commuting a couple of days a week in future. What with that and the fact the Superb covers the family/space duties so efficiently,...

Re: £5k - what car
Yeah, especially the 6 series. They seem to be rot boxes. The Phaeton is cool, I think I'd be disappointed with a V6 one knowing all the other interesting engine options though. Are you thinking about E24? The E63/64 don't rot at all. Love the Phaeton 8-) Alex - how are you getting on with yours? A...

Ah - I read it as SJ meaning the whole headlight... I did :) :lol: Deutschland no longer uber alles then. It looks like I have dust in my headlights - not surprising given there's been a mountain of building waste on next door's lawn now for probably 10mo and the dust is getting everywhere. So I ha...

Re: Japanese Engineering
Ah - I read it as SJ meaning the whole headlight, not just the bulb.
Mostly fairly straightforward on the E90, unless it's the n/s dipped bulb you're changing. It is possible from within the engine bay, unless you have fat hands, but you will need a skin graft afterwards.

Re: Japanese Engineering
And this is why I don't buy Japanese cars. I learned that years ago when I had to replace a headlight on my wife's Celica and it involved removing the front bumper. I had an E36 at the time, on those it's a ten minute job. Deutschland über alles !! I've been looking into how to get the headlights o...

Re: No F1 thread?
Great qualifying session! Well done both LH and GR. Great to hear the crowd roaring as GR nicked 7th (finishing 8th after the 2nd runs)
