Anyone else get aroused when she said 'and if you want to play with the back end'

6 minute warning...

Anyone beat the google price??

You are right there, after we did holidays we tried rental, 2 old sisters. One died, the other moved into sheltered accommodation after about 2 years with us. We've had to gut the place, it was disgusting, new carpets throughout, painting, even the remote controls were mouldy. The smell... And that was in the other half of our house! They used to lie as well, best excuse for not paying rent was the bank had burnt down but it would be open next week. Luckily we transferred the bills to their name when they started messing us around, they left a year later and it transpired they hadn't paid a penny to anyone!

You can't buy your way into that club faker! Send a drawing into blue peter. I once wrote to Jim, asking if he could fix it for me to ride in a Jaguar XJS, I was 9 i think.

check out google, over 4 billion!

I'm hating my job at the moment. I work for the 21st largest company in the world (vale, mining company) and I have two jobs, one I'm the IT service manager for the UK sites and I'm also business partner covering Europe, middle east and africa. I'm in that position because we outsourced our IT support teams and made people redundant so I'm doing my infrastructure job (service) and what was my boss's job, business partner. I get to travel across Europe, Canada, Brazil which can be good. I threw my toys out the pram last week and have requested to stick with service delivery as my workload is crazy, so I'm currently 'under review'.

wow. My favourite IT call when I used to do proper work was someone called me cos their computer wouldn't boot. I went to the shopfloor saw the 3 bars on the screen saying no signal, looked at the cables dangling from the monitor going nowhere and just laughed at him. The PC had been removed the previous day by my IT colleague as it had a problem. I never did find out exactly how he was trying to switch it on...

Sometimes you just gotta take a chance, and usually property pays. About 5 years ago both my wife and I worked in IT, owned a nice small house. After a family bereavment we decided life was too short and we would look for an alternate lifestyle. We found a large property in west wales, no residential permission but for holiday lets (2x2bed flats and 5 bed cottage in one large barn conversion). We offered, they accepted, we put our house on the market but it took months to sell and the owners of our new property got very nervous. So, we decided to just go for it, put business case together, secured finance, bought the new property without selling ours, then gave up our IT jobs to move down there. Very luckily we sold our house within a few weeks of completing on the new one, but for about a month/6 weeks we owed 120k on our original home (sold for 230k) and owed 120k on our new homes (bought for 250K) and no jobs/income!!! We had 240k debt with no jobs/income, didn't sleep much that month and had no savings left at all. If the sale had fallen through on our house we could have lost the lot. Fast forward 5 years, we've converted the flats to a cottage, given up on the holidays we were running from them and gained residential permission, bought some land to go with it and are now considering selling current value 400k+ and only 80k mortgage left. Ironically, I'm back working in IT. When I look back I can't believe how stupid we were, but lucky. I also can't believe they lent us the money, very different times!

I went to a display at St Athens a few years ago, they flew the Vulcan overhead opening the bomb bay, that was pretty cool. And no, it wasn't Spock.

Um, I used to be a member of the war planes club, they would send me datasheets of aircraft everymonth for a binder. My favourite old skool was either the liberator (i have a large painting of one) or the de havilland mosquito. For modern aircraft, probably the russian mig, foxbat. Ozz, aged 35 1/2.

Somebody on here posted a website for prints and canvasses of car racing scenes, quite pricey but looked brilliant and excellent to collect.

I've never seen this until tonight, wondered what all the fuss is about. Its histerical! Very good flowing dialogue, and the scene where he was p1ssing was brilliant. Not laughed that hard in ages.

Just seen an advert for a new series of 5th gear on channel 5, apparantly they've got someone who used to be the stig...

I was annoyed as well, and probably would also have put 50p on her.

Just got back from Iceland (the store) for my chicken fix, they've stopped selling the ready cooked frozen chicken!!! Nobbers, that was so easy to make into lots of healthly dishes.

I love milk me.

I use Optimum Whey, banana, good flavour and seems to have a lot of supporters.

Try bodybuilding.com, very busy site with lots of info. Masses of info out there for weightlifting nutrition. Protein is pretty easy to get, chicken, tuna, salmon, it really depends what your goals are (add weight etc) for what you eat with it.

I'm with BT, prob most expensive option but I'm in a rural area so have tried loads of providers. Was getting 1 meg on average, switched to BT, 4meg and even recently they've bumped me to 5. £25/month tho but worth it.

Nope! Right dodgey guy.

Sad thing is it was the guy who's always serviced his car. Just goes to show, you can't trust anyone and agree everything up front.

Well he knocked him down to 3400, only a 30day warranty tho. He just has to take the hit on his wallet and learn his lesson. The car is flying so at least he's happy on that front!

I wondered that too, I was wary when they couldn't tell him what the fault was. I even offered to ask my mate with a trailer to take it somewhere else for him for a small fee.

Its just a local garage, he's knows he's not dealt with it very well and relied on good will too much, important thing now is what he can do about it. I'll get him to read through the link steve kindly provided. Its really dodgey though as the guy wants cash or he'll add VAT, that would be 5k!!!!
