  1. Ive got a set in my garage, I had them refurbed because in the original state they used to really be affected by the weather. My dad burst one of my tyres moving my car on our drive and I havent bothered to replace it and put them back on.
  2. dont you just love Office Space

    Bioshock

    just downloaded the bioshock 2 crack from razor 1911, works perfectly I have the original, just need a back up.
  4. No rear wing fitted, my supra is spoilerless. I have had 4 supras, all of them were the same.
  5. shih tzus always remind me of the joke from Dumb and Dumber about crossing a bulldog with a shih tzu, they called it a Bullshit:d I love dogs, she is so cute.
  6. Every Polish person I have met has been lovely, I have worked with about 5 of them. All of them worked hard, were polite, very calm temperament and fun. They were also not afraid to speak their mind if they had a problem. One culture that certainly has not adapted well to our society is the african culture. I am not generalising, I deal with about 40 african people a day, 1 in every 100 is polite, says please and thank you etc, the rest are rude, want things for nothing and think the world revolves around them. I have never experienced such behaviour from any race of people, not east asians, south asians, australasians, south americans, eastern europeans or North americans.
  7. Yeah Mike, I have barely left my home in the last few months . I doubt I will be going out much before i leave for mexico, Ive gotta save, 6 weeks on holiday and only 3 weeks pay haha.
  8. I can confirm that Mike is indeed a little girl Mike, I'm off to mexico for 6 weeks starting on 24th of Feb, getting married haha
  9. I've got a boot question. Why does it not properly open when you use the key or the latch, the boot is so heavy that unless you keep the key turned and lift it it wont open, annoying when you are carrying something.
  10. there's only 1 Carlos Tevez, 1 Carlos Tevez. Fergie, Sign him up, Fergie, Fergie, Sign him up !!! The guy is absolute class and Fergie was saying he was not worth the money, more likely that Man U couldnt afford him due to their £40m interest payments.
  11. Awards generally mean nothing. We won the 2nd best chippy in Essex this year but the winner basically paid its way to number 1, no coincidence that they had an article in the Seafish magazine the same week the competition results were due to be done. Applications are fraudulently done, you done give them out to customers, you fill them out yourself.
  12. I think thats what it was. The top links on to the high street. My boss was offered it a few months back, the stipulation is that it has to be up and running by april (council condition). Go for it if it interests you , I am only working for this guy for a while longer because my father is awaiting planning permission on 2 other sites and I am going with him when they are ready, so I couldnt care less if he gets it or not haha The rent is fairly cheap, £14,000 i think and in the summer it is packed along there, it is a bit seasonal but the summer months should be good enough.
  13. Try both before you decide. If your company can supply you fresh fish that was caught that day then that is great, if it is on the boat for days waiting to come in then its obviously not so good. We should be opening up a restaurant in Southend opposite Peter Pan's playgraound later this year but it is a risk. You are doing the right thing prioritizing location because shops in good locations can take upwards of £20,000 a week whereas a good chippy in a bad location could really only maximize about £7,000. Good luck with it all.
  14. I learnt the trade from my dad when I was a kid and I am still doing it now. Things to consider: a bit difficult to hand cut chips when you are selling 300 kg upwards a day in a busy location. The chipper blades come in many sizes so it is not a problem. fresh fish is not as good as frozen at sea fish, it is caught, cut, instantly frozen. The only way fresh fish would be better is if the boat is coming in near your restaurant, this happens on the irish golfing coast and the golf clubs serve amazing fresh fish. If you are not working in your shops then your prices will have to be higher. it is a difficult business. 10 years ago people would travel a long way to get good food, but nowadays society has changed a lot (depending on your location), so LOCATION is vital. Parking is vital, passing trade is vital, no good relying just on the local chimney pots Ever thought about fish and chips drive thru, I doubt there are many about and now with our "lazier than ever" society it would work, it is not easy with fish and chips because it doesnt keep well in a hot cabinet but if you are bisy then you don't have to worry about food going, it would be constantly fresh. Dont be stingy on portion sizes (although if people considered how much they pay for a portion of small fries in mcdonalds they would not complain about paying the same money and getting 3 times as many chips). As JamieP mentions, light batter, clean oil, simple.
  15. nearer $300 m now according to the press haha
  16. Funny how Man U fans think Leeds were lucky. Being in a neutral position supporting west ham, i think leeds could have been 4 up after 40 minutes, the last time i saw a side pressurize united all over the pitch and not drop deep was Porto in the champions league last year, it was fantastic tactical management by Grayson and Becchio (sp?) was superb at leading the line. It just goes to show that most managers are pathetic, they go to old trafford and surrender, i bet Wolves fans wished their manager had more tactical nous to be able to take his side to old trafford and compete instead of making 10 changes because you expected to lose anyway.
  17. Haha no not a mistress, I was married and divorced in Spain and I had to order the original divorce certificate so I could legally marry again in Mexico in March. Here is the ex-wife

  19. I have to agree. The problem is that 99% of the time the cover is exactly who they are. Most attractive people unfortunately are extremely judgemental, I have no time for groupies, wannabes, attention whores (I'm not saying that either of these girls are like that). 99% of gorgeous women are like that though, the 1 percent with parents who never let them become that way or who were ugly when they were younger and suddenly blossomed are the ones I usually go for haha.

    Video Game

    Old arcade machines I always loved Kick n Run and Ring King. My favourite console or PC games were probably Flashback, Kick Off, Sensible World of Soccer and Wonderboy In Monsterland 3. Haha as you can tell I have not played many recent games, I am old school
  21. it is bad because I really hate letting people down, I have never two-timed any girl and I cant see an easy way out, its not like I have ever met any girls in my life who I think are perfect for me (and I include the ex-wife, I rushed into that one haha), its just that it has happened this time when I was least expecting it after getting divorced.
  22. I've got a real dilemma. Ok so I have known this girl in Mexico for 6 years and we got on great but due to distance and work we never got together and both married different partners. anyway, I got divorced last year and she got divorced also, we got back in contact and were chatting a lot and really she is my perfect woman. That was up until recently when I met an amazing girl who I have been dating for a few weeks, then I get a call last week from my Mexican friend to say that she is planning to come to England, so I am so confused, life is always all or nothing with me and never straight forward. I dont want to hurt either of them so I told the new girl who I met in London what has happened and she is ok with it and just said that she will accept whatever I decide, but I dont know what way to go
  23. Go into Fish and Chips, if you have the capital to buy a good restaurant in a top location (like Leicester Square) and did all the rennovations yourself you would be looking at 130-150k for total rennovation and all equipment and the restaurant would make you a minimum £2,000 profit per week in the quiet season but I would estimate a lot more. All costs involved in a Chippy come to around £5000 per week (up t £7000 if you are very busy taking £20k a week), that includes all stock, wages, overheads, vat etc and a restaurant in a top location would take around £20k per week, so you'd be looking at £13k profit a week.
