Joey Barton has just been given the job as Newcastle United manager, following the sudden sacking of Kevin Keegan. The club has just released this statement: "Joey is about to take the club forward and has plans for a serious assault on the premiership". :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

We bought a 206 for the wife, but the tool we bought it from neglected to inform us that he had lost the locking wheel nut socket. As a result we managed to get three off and replace them, but the front drivers one will not budge. We spent the whole of yesterday trying to remove it, hamering a socket on and trying to twist it, but it wouldn't budge. We split four sockets and wrecked a load of others, we had to hammer the head of it down with a chisel and then smash a socket on to it each time but it just wouldn't move. I got my dad to drop it in to a couple of garages today, one tyre place worked on it for an hour or so and gave up, they took it to another …

I know alot of you are bikers sooooooo, I had a bad off on this bike 5 years ago now. It went down the road and up a kirb. Apparently the engine was running and it got switched off but he timing case was broken. I want to see if the engine is dead or if i can get it running. Its been sat in my garage and hasn't moved for 5 years. What is the sensor that is broken off? Does it send a spark to the plugs? In that case the engine may be ok? i.e the timing never went out and popped a valve into a piston. The other worry is that the engine was running without oil. However i can push the bike in gear so the engine isn't seezed. So my questions are: Can…

Hello all, since I gave up trying to find an affordable good-quality Z (missed at least 3 on here due to a holiday, d'oh) bought a 1997 Subaru legacy RS. I like it. just wondered if anyone else has owned/ come across them & what you all think? PS it's a twin-turbo big impreza with a half-decent interior for those who don't know what it is. and it's a saloon, not a fan of estates!!! PPS I hope to be selling it next year and buying another Z...but more time I spend with it, more I'm getting used to it & more tempting it is to blow savings on taking it from 280bhp to 400 etc etc!!! :D

For this Orange Act unsigned thing that we've entered you have to choose 3 songs to upload to your page on their site. When entries close on the 31st the page is frozen and you can't change anything. So, I'm sitting here humming and ha-ing over which three tracks to include. And I thought, "why not ask the people that matter, the listeners?" :) If you've got time to go on my MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/thisburningage , listen to the 10 tracks and then vote for your top 3 on here that would be great. TBH, it's something I need to sort out regardless as it's a general rule of "3" when it comes to submitting your stuff to record companies/radio stati…

Hi, Just wondering where I would take a scrap car to be weighed in for good old hard cash? I asked the local scrap metal place and they don't buy steel. Cheers Vijay

I have just put some alloys on my galaxy, they are of an audi a4 ( I have checked they are exactly the same offset etc) I had to take a wheel off today and when I did I notice that there is a shiny ring around the bolt indicated in red on the pic below, as if the aren't sitting right into the dished bits around the holes in the alloy. Is this a problem? Do they just need to settle in to the different bolts? Advice needed asap please. I have been driving around with them for a week or so and there does seem to be any problems just wanted 2nd 3rd 4th etc opinions Cheers in advance Mick
