They are desperate for things to do now that the VAT increase has meant that doughnuts are now out of reach for most coppers lol.

Oh yeah Bruges been there a few times and that really is a majical place, take a horse drawn carriage ride or a boat trip on the river. 10/10 and a quality place to go with good food and beer and hardly any Germans!.

Jersey club hotel

No one here would know him, but it did put a smile on my face. Also got to keep an £850 house deposit today as well from the TDS after one of my properties got trashed. it covers some of the 3K damage and I instructed a trace on the old tennents today as well for more of the same. Treat others as they treat you.....

The filth followed me in a traffic car for about five miles a few nights ago. They were parked up in a garage then tailed me wherever i went for miles. Its a right pain in the ass trying to drive at like 30 and 40. Anyhows after about ten minutes I got pulled over. I got out the car, the copper asked me for my name and said he wanted proof it was my car. I showed him my driving licence and he asked me if I had been drinking. I said "no" he said "right answer" got in his car and left again. What was the point of that? cant you drive a decent car withouut being pulled over for nothing. I mean what a complete waste of taxpayers money?? I expect they ask the local doughnut van owner for Id as well. I am expectiing a tug a week in the zed...

Did you buy it from a dealer? maybe you can get them to cover the repair costs?. Sorry to hear about your misfortune and hope you fnd a solution.

I used to own a record shop, put club nights and the odd rave on outdoors in the summer. Cut a long story short someone on a forum that I used to use borrowed a Crown amp and a DPSS laser and four 500W speakers to do a wedding with from me. After repeated requests to get my stuff back and one excuse after another nothing ever materialised. The **** moved and would never answer his phone, cut a long story short out of principal I paid for a trace on him. When I found out where he lived I got my lawyer to take it further. I took him to court and he failed to pay the Judgement and costs saying he could not afford it as he was on the dole. Seems he thought he had got away with my stuff and said he "lost it" LOL. Sold it i guess, anyhows great news i instructed a county baliff and they contacted me today to say they have all his stuff. His nice flatscreen, PS3, Laptop, and car have been taken to be sold at Auction to cover the debt, all the fees and interest. So looks like the worm definately turned on this one today :tt2: another low life scumball knows that stealing someones stuff to sell can come back to bite you on the ass. Lets hope he thinks twice before he does it to someone else. Im sure his plentiful time he has without a TV, Computer, or PS3 will fun filled.

Thanks guys sure they will be ok then.

Honest opinion on this brand of trainers ..... never heard of them before and my wife wants to buy them as a gift for someone.

A few thousand years ago I would have been loaded I bought these two complete hoards from the far east (with export approval) i cant even start to say exactly how many coins I have here 14Kg one hoard and 7.5Kg the other. Im a bit of a history geek as I love anything old but decided to sell at least some of them on ebay as I could never clean these all in this lifetime LOL. http://www.crustyromans.com/plutus-hoard/ http://www.crustyromans.com/juno-hoard/

sweeeeet

And a few pics of my new wheels on the car, sorry about the quality of the pics and vids but they were taken on my phone. I thought you videod with the phone up the normal way.

After nearly two years this little gem is finally running like it should do. I cant thank Jimmer and John dixon enough for finally bringing my zed back to life. At times I wanted to give up or break it for parts especially when I had done all the work and the head gasket had failed. Its now perfect and like a dream come true. I went to Bristol today to jimmers Garage and I cant believe just how nice the guys have it running. Im real glad it is no longer a pressure cooker and John managed to sort it out with a base map before it goes off to be tuned. Its going to be quite a car!!!!! Its quite something the free reving engine easily goes to over 8000 rpm its mental. Thanks again cant tell you how pleased I am.

This is the state of the country the first three digets are "billions" basically if every asset including every property private and state owned were sold and all proceeds were given to the state we would still be in debt. When they talk about the defict being 13 billion it is not the size of the debt but the difference between the debt and the amount we can realisticallyy service. The public sector is now 53% of the economy and the 47% private sector cant pay for it its just not possible. 53% is higher than russia was as a comunist country its so messed up. http://www.debtbombshell.com/

Over 80p litre is tax and Vat http://www.petrolprices.com/price-of-petrol.html But remember its for our own good or the good of the environment or some or others MPs Expensis lol. What gets me is the blame the high petrol prices on retailers and greedy fuel companies. However you cut it they think we are stupid. Will be 1.50 litre by March as well. just one of those unfortunate things we have no control over. It also annoys me that my "gas guzzlers" cost me £450 each per year in road tax. Again are we not supposed to be a capitalist country ????. if i have a car that does 12MPG and im happy owning it surely the cost of fuel is already a big enough tax on its own. Give it a few years and car ownership will be a luxury unaffordable to a lot of people in the UK. But I just cant see how it will be affordable to so many people. These high fuel prices also effect transport costs, the price of food, taxis, blah blah blah.

Here is something apt that was sent to me Why is our income tax burden unfairly distributed? 1. Some £155 billion per annum is raised by our government from income tax. The average earner (about £25,000 pa) pays 14.8% of their total pay in income tax and 20% marginal tax on pay rises. But a high earner (say £250,000 pa) pays 41% of their total pay in income tax and 50% marginal tax on pay rises. This high earner pays over 27 times more income tax than the average earner. 2. Of the 30 million taxpayers in the UK, some 28 million pay basic rate tax or less. Only a small fraction are high earners – for example, there are only 14,000 people earning £1m pa or more, representing just 0.05% of total taxpayers, yet they pay 7.6% of total income tax revenue (Office for National Statistics). 3. Business leaders create and run operations that employ millions of people. They are usually higher rate taxpayers. But their employees also pay income tax, national insurance and VAT. Their companies pay corporation tax. Their shareholders pay income tax (including pension funds) and capital gains tax. Without this revenue the government would have no money to pay their civil servants or support the massive payouts on our welfare & benefits system. This wealth is created by entrepreneurs and businessmen. The country cannot survive without them. 4. So high tax paying business leaders are vital members of our society. Without them there would be no welfare state. They deserve a much fairer tax treatment. Unfortunately they are a small minority. The vast majority of voters are easy to attract with “tax the rich more” policies and any scheme which supports “wealth redistribution”. The great majority think that having a higher rateof tax is fair and forget that higher rate taxpayers already pay 27 times more tax. That is due to ignorance. 5. An estimated £170 billion will be paid out in welfare benefits 2010/11 (Treasury forecast) – £15 billion more than the £155 billion raised from income tax. Some 6 million Britons live in homes where no one has a job and benefits are a way of life – nearly one in six of all households in the country. 80% of these homes have no one even looking for a job. Some 130,000 households with a total income over £50,000 are currently eligible for Gordon Brown’s tax credits of about £10 a week! (Daily Mail). Summary Although high tax rates cause some entrepreneurs to exploit loopholes, the number doing so is far smaller than those who cheat our welfare system. Clearly there must be a safety net for the disadvantaged – but we must all recognise that entrepreneurs create the taxes that support it from the enterprises they run. They are not villains and as such deserve far more encouragement than they get, despite being a small minority. So enough of taxing these few vital, disenfranchised wealth creators. People are not the same – some create, some take. Wealth redistribution will not solve our debt problem – it will worsen it

Dont even get me started on Tax.... my corporate and personal including VAT is well over 1M a year my Jan balancing payment is £128K and I paid over £300K in August and pay £70k a quarter in VAT. I am just one big tax producing asset stuck on a wheel supporting an army of jobless stone heads and xbox experts. im sick of it 50% on everything plus NI so the revenue earns more money from all my work now than me. highest tax in the world here now for people like me even higher than the communist countries like Russia, Cuba, and China. We are only a diplomatic state if you are on the dole or a low earner. im sick of it i get nothing from the state and they do nothing and are the leading fininancial beneficiary in my company dispite doing absolutely nothing for it. Feckers like me are employers and i really cant be bothered to risk it all anymore so the tax man can benefit. From the 1st Jan i told my staff we had three new employees joining. I said they will not do feck all, they will never do anything to help any of us but never the less we have to give them a decently paid job for life. basically this increase in VAT is the same cost to my business as three new staff.

Dont go pearl white I dont want to see too many of them around LOL

Looking Good Daz

I think |Jimmer has one for sale

All mine used to but I cant see any of them ever working again!

Im 37 and everyone left school, got jobs and started to try and make their own way in life. I had 5 close friends at school and now I am officially the only one who works!. The last one who was kind of working doing car boot sales decided he could not be arsed with the early cold mornings anymore. He called me in the office today to tell me that he had some good news!. It turned out that he has managed to get a load of prescribed drugs he can sell on a regular basis from his doctor as well as a sick note so the dole cant make him look for work. He said with a bit more fakery he should be able to get more benefits as well and laughed... WTF :thumbdown:. The other 4 gave up and retired a few years back once they could get housing benefit etc. I am just gobsmacked at the lazy feckers it makes me sick really. All the working among us have to pay on average another £4K each per year in tax so bums like my mates can do feck all day after day month after month. Loads of jobs down here as well but dole is a chosen lifestyle choice. Do you see more people you know doing this the older you get? I know they are my mates but this sickens me. Go back 100 years and they would all have worked. In a few years time no fecker will work as it is so socially acceptable these days to be a career claimant.
