Apologies if this isn't allowed but I had to share this. A young girl has cancer and is dying, the NHS have said they won't fund the operation. I understand that cancer affects a lot of people, myself included, I've lost family through it. But the fact the government feel they can out a price on life disgusts me. If they won't help, then maybe we can. I've donated and shared on my Facebook wall. If you are able to that would be great. Get this, if loosing your child isn't bad enough, her dad has cancer of the brain and is dying, he has made it his goal to raise enough money and see her through this operation. Could you imagine loosing both your daughter and husband t…

...... To take me to work and back (unless its raining:lol:). Since giving up smoking at Christmas I have slowly been putting on more and more weight due to snacking when I would usually have a fag. So the time and weather has come to stop using the zed everyday to do the 4 miles to work and try and lose some of the weight I've put on round my waist! For those who have met me know that I'm not exactly short, at 6'5" in far from it in fact! So you may think my choice in bikes is as bit odd.... Yes.... A bmx :) I do own a mountain bike but find it a bit boring to ride, hense the reason for buying this earlier. Hopefully due to my size I will find it imposs…

currently up at the hospital as a alana is getting induced today. so hopefully meet our wee boy at some point today

The plan to buy a project zed is being shelved for now. Reason being we do a lot of camping and I'd like something big, vulgar and fun :) Must meet a couple of requirements though No rust , I.e sills and arches. I don't mind some surface rust but nothing that would be considered an advisory on an MOT Must have mot so I can drive it away legally. Must be big, 7 seats sort of size. Not that ill defiantly be keeping the seats In there I'm winning a big on a toyota estima at the moment. How horrible are they!! :lol: but cheap and fun is what I'm after! I've looked at the following: Mitsubishi shogun Toyota prevai/estima/lucida Mercedes Vito Mazd…

I'm considering a 2 storey extension to the side of my house up to my boundary. The border I want to extend up to has a public footpath along its length (along the side of the house). Google is a bit of a minefield of information on this so I was wondering if anyone knew the legalities of extending to a boundary like this? I basically want to know if I can extend right up to the border or whether there is a set dimension that has to be left by law? CheerZ, Joel.

Hi, if i see a picture i like and decide to save it, what determines the folder on my pc it goes into, is it from this site or on my PC (win 7) Cheers

Hi all. Still in the search for a camper project. Getting a fed up of trolling the Internet every day :lol: no patience at all. I have however found this, along with a couple of others.

Hi, Need an A3 size lightbox picked up from Nottingham during business hours (just behind the Vic Centre). Anyone in that area can collect it for me? Then hopefully if someone is heading to London would be perfect or can meet in Northampton (or anywhere nearer to London). Or if you could package it and send it or I'll have it collected by a courier (obviously I'll pay for the courier if you send it) Cheers Vijay

http://www.a1-terraclean.co.uk/ Whats the thoughts on this? I would have thought this could lead to all sorts of compression problems on an older car? Is it worth doing?

Nissan GT1 Le Mans engine from late 90s. Extremely rare apparently ! Alan........

With the XP support cutoff approaching and the system drive on my desktop giving up today with terminal h/w failures I will make the switch to W7 64bit (I'm not interested in W8). Fortunately I have an XP laptop to get onto the Internet with. I need to be able to run lagacy XP apps (Word, Excel etc) so I am looking at the W7 Pro with 32bit support. Where can I get genuine MS copies of W7 64bit for the lowest cost? I will need two copies. I'm happy to pay, but would like try and avoid the sort of prices I'm seeing advertised if that is possible. The system itself is based on a Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 Rev 1.0 motherboard and Intel E6600 overclocked to 3GH…

Haven't seen the Michelin man in a while. Maybe he's re-tyred
