Mine has been like it for 18 months now. It's not coming to any harm though.

My Escort with Pinto and twin 40 Dellortos does 32mpg on a long run. I can make it do less if I want to. No reason why not to use them daily. Mpg will go down if you drive like a dick, but it is hard not to with that noise.

50g Golden Virginia costs about £12 and lasts me 7 days normally, 6 if I am bored and I smoke way too much. If I was on tailor made it would be 25-30 a day. Whats that, £45 a week? Beats the hell out of me how anybody can afford ready made ones.

Haven't done any and with a bit of luck will be snowed in and unable to.

I am from a farming family and a couple of our farm houses have ghosts. Not in a scary way, they are just there and are regularly seen. Usually when someone is ill. This is all just matter of fact, not some "Oh my God there's a ghost" stuff. My cousins that live in the houses are not ones for making a song and dance about such things and are quite happy for them to be there. One of the houses in particular has always been known to be haunted. Never seen one myself and have stayed in both houses many times as a child. Happy to accept they are there all the same.

I work 19 days on, 2 days off. Yesterday was my day off. I got bored and went to work.

Why do people expect compensation for not looking where they are going? If I fell down a hole I generally reckon it would be my fault, not somebody elses. Manchester council seriously considered tarmacing every single pavement because it was cheaper than all the compensation claims.

Tits!

We are not a catholic country either.

Someone going home from the North Wales tour maybe.

I think I was about 12 when I was cut loose but it could have been before that. My lad is 21 and it hasn't properly happened yet. No idea why that is, and doesn't really make much sense as he has been on the other side of the planet for months. Times change I guess.

And I am going to throw all my dead cows in your garden.

The flame is from a little firelighter in the bottom. It sits on a couple of pieces of wire. When they eventually land in a field, as they almost certainly will, the cows come along and eat the wire. Cows are a bit dumb like that. When they eat the wire they die. They also set fire to fields and sheds and cause a lot of false alarms for the RLNI when folk mistake them for emergency flares. Yes they look pretty cool, but they are a nuisance and will be banned before very long. I think they already are in a few EU countries. http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/sussex/hi/p ... 828026.stm http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-11003516 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-10928033 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-le ... e-10931316

That little one in front has got a good one minute lead on the big one now.

I have seen it lots of times and still think you should be able to hear it. ( I do know why it doesn't make a noise)

I saw it, it was very bright. What was in front of it as there wasn't just one?

I suppose my house is worth less than it was a couple of years ago, but whether it has halved in value or trebled in value it still wouldn't be for sale. No mortgage, all paid for and no intention of going anywhere soon. So, for all the ups and downs in this world, the recession hasn't affected me at all as far as I can tell. (which is nice )

After my Gran died my Granpa remarried to Ivy. Ivy never took a driving test because she had learned to drive many years ago. Her learning was from driving army lorries in the war. Almost fifty years later, having never driven since the war, she decided to get a car. She rarely ventured out of the village and always planned her trips well. She never ever turned right, only left. These trips took quite a bit of thinking about really. Never crashed has far as I recall, she only went slowly and people had fair chance to get out of the way. Now many will say "shouldn't be on the road" etc, but Ivy had to take over and run the small family farm when her father died when she was 16. She had to work the land, ploughing with a horse, earning enough to feed the rest of her family. Then the war came along and she had to help out there. Husband had a stroke and she nursed him for years, etc.etc. I expect many of the doddery old biddies you see out there have similar tales to tell. If they want to drive, let them, they earned it IMHO. If they are not very good at it, just give them a bit more time and a bit more room, they'll be OK. And if they're not, at the end of the day it is just a car, insured and doesn't really matter on the grand scale of things.

My missus had it done a few years back now. She is very un-brave with such things but coped fine. She probably had more drama putting eyedrops in afterwards than the actual surgery. Worked for her.

I got a full set for my Mk1 Capri and must say I was quite impressed with the fit. The screen seals on a Mk1 Esort are a reasonable fit, but crack after a month. Fella from there said use petrol to lubricate them.

How do you spell this number then? 101

Then wipe it with Kurust or similar, then wire wheel again then etch prime. That will see it off.

Now you are shit stirring!

There are lots of excuses given when I would give the benefit of the doubt. Cheque lost in post is not one of them, posted a week ago is another lie. I have never ever had any letter lost in the post so why should the one that does go missing be the one that has a cheque in it, and letters rarely take a week to arrive. I can't stand liars!
