when i was a lad...had a chopper bike...took it to the top of a steep road and went down in 3rd gear....speedo said 45mph and then i hit the pot hole....went face first over the handlebars....well 5 meters of tarmac skidded over my face and i lost 2 front teeth and bit halfway through my tongue and scraped off my lips...i looked lovely after that one...couldnt eat for 2 months had to drink through a straw....cars used to screech to a halt and offer my mum lifts to the hospital even weeks later....and on one occassion a lady asked my mum to take me away cos i was scaring her kids....:D

ahh well here is the nub of the issue....having an agreed set of facts....and as you state they don't exisit...so i guess we are falling short on that point...well i've never been there (Arctic) with or without a drill so i cant add anything new to the debate....but being a devils advocate here it is worth noting Shell dont sell books for a living and when it comes to books a lot of folk believe anything Dan Brown writes is true also....anyways interesting stuff all the same

yep they used to mint their own money years ago....mind you the credit card deal is good for those who can work it....as no late payment charges...and if you pay 2 or 3 statements on the trot off in full you qualify for a 30-50% cut in the APR never seen Barc Card do that....! you think theirs is bad just check the 0% bal transfer deals offered by many others....the moment you spend anything on it that stays accruing interest until you clear the bal transfer in full....or better still miss the min payment of say £5 by even 1 day and the automatically do you for a) £35 or b) change the 0% deal into the cards noraml APR usually 15%-25% Money is magic...:D

Vanquis.....aka Provident Personal Credit... doorstep lending and this card has seen the Provvy go into the Footsie top 100....! but in terms of the wider issue they operate in areas banks have quit...so if you want competition and better rates the banks should get back in there BTW there is no cap on % rates you can charge what you like

something like 1/4 t0 1/3 of the worlds oil is to be found above the artic circle....recent drilling in greenland etc has uncovered oil fields bigger than Saudi Arabia biggest fields...getting to it is a bind but it will be done....nothing to worry about when it comes to running out...that book you refer to IIRC was written some years back and based on geology surveys which were then small because yields were better from the existing fields so why bother looking etc...once the yields fell the survey teams went out and found more...:)

you could try to do the air con diagnostic/set up....IIRC its a bit of a mare...but search around on here for the how to guide other causes include...air locks, thermostat stuck, crushed cooling pipes restricting the flow to the matrix, leaky rad cap, lack of coolant check the level etc....if the matrix was fooked i would have thought water would have poured in to the passenger footwell...so maybe not all is lost

you could modify your lamps to take UK bulbs...look here http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=27029 as to why they blow...maybe you've touched the glass them when putting them in any fingerprints, sweat, grease etc can cause hotspots oh hi and welcome...what part of the UK you from?

yeah does sound a bit odd.... :D as to the original question i would have thought most new new pc's come with 2 hard drives today so for security you can select a setting like mirrorring/shadowing or auto back up of your files on to the 2nd hard drive...

cannot find NTLDR usually means you've left a floppy in the drive when rebooting...HTH

lol...must be under a car hands covered in grease i wouldnt be surprised...leave a message they always get back to callers in a bit

err you could try Martyn the other mechanic at zen....on 07913595032

IMHO (footy skills aside)....he will be best remembered for these quotes

good army film quote that one how about the one in officer and a gentleman....as he addressed a new recruit....

Dirty Harry

Chunk.i stand corrected you're right its @ £1300-£1500 looking at previous post i think the £2k came about cos of a conversion i saw posted including an uprated clutch and performance package bits...

@ £2000 all in IIRC

damn i missed the prog...would have liked to have seen that seeing as i used to climb loads......daftest climb was in the p1ssing rain at High Rocks...sandstone and wet not good and absailing off a chalk cliff in a raging gale....why?!

funny how the guy in Spinal Tap eneded up doing voices in the simpsons as well...small world last Simpsons one.... (Mr Burns to smithers)...nonsense Smithers dogs are idiots...how would you like it if i can and jumped all over you whilst slobbering on your face...? (Smithers)....mmmmmmm

well a rebuild is gonna be @ £1500-£2000 but a 2nd hand box off a known car is gonna be @ £500 fitted....sure no guarentees but even rebuilds can be back and forth on past posts

as per my previous post... but i do like the simpsons...too many to list but probably Mr Burns (to 100 monkeys using 100 typewriters who had to come up with a book and they came up with the most famous opening line ever)....lets see what you've come up with..."it was the best of times...it was the worst of times"....arrgh what kind of rubbish is this....!!

(after his son said something dumb and obvious) Sheriff Buford T Justice....smokey n the bandit

TBH i wouldnt be surprised if the tabloids set him up (not that he dont deserve it mind)....i mean in the kind of country where you can buy a kid for $....you can deffo get a journalist to buy a kid and their sordid story for $$$....i wouldnt let my kids in a room with Gary Glitter or the Editor of the Sun / Mirror etc....

if you ever get to the stage you want to get hitched remember the following getting married for the sex is like buying a Boeing 747 for the free peanuts..... or to put it another way...... if it wasn't for marriage, men would spend their whole live thinking they were right all the time

didnt want to hurt his knuckles of course....!

who Mr Benn?....i wouldnt put it past him ...probably 2 of the greats who never were.... :( Gerald McClennen Michael Watson But in terms of pound for pound hardest hitters...Roy Jones Jnr & Mavin Hagler :bow: ...the single hardest punche in a fight i reckon was Ali V's Forman in the rumble in the jungle....Ali hit George so hard at the end his feet lifted off the canvas... :eek:
