Mine came on two nasty cheap tyres from a far east brand I hadn't heard of. The sidewalls were the wrong height for the spec embossed on the side wall and they caused vibrations. I took them off and replaced with Falkens and all was well.

It was Withnail - you were right - Uncle Monty http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Withnail_and_I Uncle Monty I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is, you'll agree, a certain je ne sais quoi oh so very special about a firm young carrot. It is the most shattering experience of a young man's life when he awakens and quite reasonably says to himself: [He puts his hand on his heart] "I will never play The Dane." When that moment comes, one's ambition ceases. I can never touch meat until it's cooked. As a youth I used to weep in butchers' shops. Sherry!? Oh no, no, no, no. I'll fall straight into his trap. He's so mauve. We don't know what he's planning. I'm preparing myself to forgive you. I think you've been punished enough. I think we better release you from the legumes and transfer your talents to the meat. I often wonder where Norman is now. [COLOR=Red]Probably wintering with his mother in Guildford. A cat, rain, Vim under the sink, and both bars on.[/color] But old now, there is no true beauty without decay. How right you are, how right you are. We live in a kingdom of rains, where royalty comes in gangs. Come on, lads, the sky's beginning to bruise, night must fall, and we shall be forced to camp. I mean to have you, boy, even if it must be burglary.

:bow: Ohh,, now you're asking... I THINK it's Withnail & I but I can't remember! I'll change it to 'sink' now - it doesn't make so much sens as 'skink' does it? A lizard that can grip vertical surfaces!

From Popbitch... >> Burn baby burn Iraq to get the Goodbye Effect Lets hope the US doesn't pull out of Iraq until we can see their great new weapon, the ADS, utilised. The ADS is a non-lethal crowd control weapon that beams microwaves at people, making them feel like their face is melting and provoking "highly motivated escape behaviour". Security experts have called it the "Goodbye effect". The ADS has been tested in secret for 10 years, costing $40m. In human tests most subjects reach their pain threshold in three seconds - no-one has passed five seconds. The military claims its effects don't last long but this has yet to be checked independently. What a great idea. Surely beams of searing pain from armoured Hummers liberating the streets of Baghdad can only help Western-Iraqi relations? More: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/1,72134-0.html

It's also on autotrader.... in a dealer.... for £38K http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/CARS_popup.asp?searchform=&modelexact=1&lid=search_used_cars_full&photo=1&state=none&sort=&hassearched=Y&make=MG&min_pr=75&source=0&model=SV&max_pr=&agerange=&mileage=&miles=1500&trim=&keywords=&postcode=cb2+5an&ukcarsearch_full.x=48&ukcarsearch_full.y=6&start=2&distance=84&adcategory=CARS&channel=CARS&id=200648259637229

Got to be some sort of con. These go for £35K - £50K. He could take it to a dealer and get £20K minimum. Still tempted to go and buy it though!

Is that the real thing..... surely not....? I have credit cards - I'd drive over there right now and give them £6K for that if it's real / legit.

An Evo is really only any good for driving fast on twisty roads. Fun sometimes but do it all the time and it'll end in tears. Otherwise they're ugly, not that comfy and expensive to run. RX7 are nice but a hard sprung, stubby little car. I guess it depends if you want plush or sporty more.

Get a double vodka down you QUICK - you'll feel more relaxed and the confidence will come across on the phone and the job will be yours. ;)

A 'desmond' eh? I got one of those too - but not cos I was ill - I blame the three year drink / drugs bender. Or maybe I just wasn't clever enough? Ah well, great days. Job agency places are leeches and filled with more hot air than advertising sales people. Just pull your pants down and crap on their desk and say: "There's my O-levels, big steaming brown O-levels." They'll respect you more for it and the job will be in the bag.

Damn Dave, I could live in that! Top garage. I do have a much smaller garage but it's filled with boxes and an old fridge - must get rid and try and get the Zed in asap.

That's a lot of money for a shag! You could get a D-list celeb or minor league porn star who brings the coke and contraceptives too for that sort of dosh.

I recently sent four 18 inch wheels with tyres and locking nuts and some cleaning kit - it was almost 100kg on the nose in total.

Rolf Harris could have done that in seconds with three marker pens.

It's simply a handy way of showing people who's boss. Besides, who doesn't have a hot crack pipe to hand when these sort of things kick off? No-one messes with you afterwards. Plus there's the smell of burning flesh mixing with hot crack.

Hitachi Magic Wand ;)

Burn the soles of her feet with a hot crack pipe.

I think if you drive into the back of someone you're to blame. She may have changed lanes before hand for whatever reason but I think if the front of your car goes into the back of another it's regarded as your fault. The insurance company will try and make it a 50/50 fault accident so they can take everyone's excess and NCB.

Thanks lads It sounds like it won't be cheap. The Mrs has found that British Gas do a fixed price call out and mend a fault, inlcuding everything for about £160 so we'll probably go for that. It sounds like the part alone would cost at least that much. ps - it's fookin cold without it!

Plus it's only really about 10% off as they do 3 for 2 anyway. It's a marketing scam I think. But a good one.

Balls - oh well thanks for the info - forewarned is forearmed.

I've been in this house a week and the boiler's playing up. It flashes a fault code - F. According to the manual that means a fault on a PCB. I can press 'reset' and it's ok - for a while then goes wrong again. Any ideas how to fix it short term / loing term? Cheers!

Those are BIG!

I like tatoos on women. They're more likely to be up for it / dirty than ones without tattoos IMHO.

Saab 9-5 have some fast petrol engines and decent TD too.
