From looking at the survey of the tax system (08-09) : http://www.ifs.org.uk/bns/bn09.pdf It seems the amount they 'got' was £545.5BN, so £545,500,000,000... Nice And they're spending £800,000,000 on this 'aid' - 0.14% of their total income... On a hypothesis, a prediction of the future, even 'fortune telling'? Of course 0.14% doesn't sound like much, but how many OAP's could that warm/keep alive this winter, prisons be built to protect the public, be put into public transport (Oh, that'd help the penguins), lower council tax, go into the NHS (With efficient management), or anything to make the people who are paying it happier to be paying it?, OR : Build nuclear power stations so they don't have to burn the fossil fuels they claim are going to be the end of us as we know it?... Meh.

Water has a habit of doing that - We should have made loads of really big plastic buckets

I know exactly how you feel, I go from Cheltenham to Bristol for work, and I'll always encounter a load of drivers with shocking lane discipline. Admittedly I may usually be travelling above certain numbers on a dial in the car, but I still get annoyed when I'm in lane 3 and pass someone just dithering along alone in lane 2. From my observations the drivers do tend to be (Don't flame me for this ladies! I'm going on what I've seen!) either female, or elderly (Of both sexes)... The elderly I put down (No pun intended) to the stigma of it being 'slow lane','middle lane', and 'fast lane', which of course is wrong... And then when there's a bit of rain in the sky, it seems if you need your wipers on you can disregard anyone behind you and just keep looking forward! Argh!... And, my understanding of the 'undertaking law', and maybe some of our warranted friends on here can clarify, is that it isn't illegal, as long as it's done carefully (Not swooping across all the lanes to undertake someone, and getting the jump on the person you were tailgating in lane 3 for example), however, you can be done for careless driving, but that's at the officers discretion?...

Spaghetti junction's easy though, it just looks mental from the air...

Oh for crying out loud... I heard about this a while ago but hoped it wouldn't happen... Some classics have to be left as they were... What next? The 'Great Escape' (But they all get out this time)

Great vid there, thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it Now, that fitting into an NA you speak of

Blimey, even me and my lack of mechanical skills wouldn't have done that!

At about 6.45pm at the traffic lights by Broughtons/Sainsburys, I was in the filthy black A5 trying to get your attention, but I think I failed

It's got explosions, that's won me over

Benefits : 1) You get to your destination quicker 2) You don't get bored with the lack of scenery 3) It makes the 'forced' commute to work vanish quicker 4) It provides a perfect opportunity to teach the morons on the road a lesson (Note : It requires Lv II : Flashing lights and at least Lv IV: Tailgating for that one 5) Driving through fog isn't hard, it's entertaining 6) Every other car becomes 'undercover' And with many more fun options, it's the ultimate realistic driving game!...

That's exactly what I was thinking, he did well in slowing there...

My condolences for your loss...

Not me, I'm Half quicksilver and half silver who continues to drive aimlessly around Cheltenham revving it up and driving like a knob.

Cheers - I'll drop you a PM now as hopefully I'll be sleeping deeply tomorrow (Spent the night being called out by work )

I've got both Prefer XBox if poss

That's the puppy

Ah Bummer... How many RF2's left? I asked first!... lol

lol - I couldn't have been dealing with blowing up maths for fun - Although if your missus works for the company, how about a Group Buy for the club? lol

Not getting into the argument about whether the Burgulars deserve what they get, as I side with the 'Break into a house and you're fair game' side, but they cause a load of costly damage (Window/Locks/Any other way) into whoevers property in getting in, so they technically 'owe' the residents even if nothing's nicked... You scare them off, and there's not much chance of anyone being held to your damage, and you're a load of cash out of pocket... There should be more options for holding people...

What colour is the LED on the power supply? IIRC if it's amber or red, it's a fault with that, if it's green, it's a fault with the XBox... (I've got one going in for repair myself, 2 years old but my Elite's still going strong )

Apparently Grosjean still works at a bank in Geneva, they mentioned it at Spa I think...

Sweet, been looking forward to this - Might rewatch Series 7 to get a feel for it again...

Line caught? I'd bet there's no dolphins left in those waters so I'd just get the nets out

I notice they only mention how many people have been caught speeding, and not how many speed related accidents there have been... True, 166's pretty excessive, but it must be a decent bit of road surely?

I've had that issue every time, even though I always mention it before the test and show the previous certificate they still have to edit it...
