  1. They won't notice until tomorrow, too slow Edit: I take that back, see above *sorry*
  2. I agree completely, as a fellow uneducated scumbag I also take pride in the fact that I'm doing OK but at the same time these threads alway turn into a p*ssing competition so I thought I'd chirp up before they got carried away. Your input was valid enough IMO, it didn't help the chap but it did ridicule a student type so it's fine by me I'm permanent and I don't have any job security to speak of, I think that kind of thing is pretty hard to get these days in IT.
  3. Only one party actively tries to tell me what they want to achieve in my area, that's the BNP, their intentions are solid enough too if their leaflets are to be believed, good honest local stuff for the local people... I still can't bring myself to vote for them though... this means I won't vote for anyone because I have no idea what the others want to do and aren't going to chase them to find out.
  4. I love these threads, chap posts asking how much people think he should be paid for a particular role and everyone sees it as an excuse to post how much they get paid for completely different ones. Anyway I can't help much myself as I have no idea how much your type of people get paid but is there a recruitment site like CWJobs for your stuff and if so maybe it has a salary checker like this? http://www.cwjobs.co.uk/SalaryChecker/SalaryCheckerSearch.aspx Edit: maybe this will help: http://www.totaljobs.com/SalaryChecker/SalaryCheckerSearch.aspx http://www.qsnews4jobs.co.uk/salarysurvey.asp?navcode=1858 (or having looked at them maybe they won't)
  5. *waves* You need a machine polish, that's the crux of it really, unless your hands can spin at crazy RPMs for a few hours of course. Your fingers might have to work as a paint depth gauge too just to be safe 95% of the finish you see on a really well detailed car is down to a good machine polish IMO, the wax just enhances things that little bit more. Of course you could go for a polish & wax that contains a lot of fillers and do it by hand but you are only hiding the defects and they will be back to haunt you again in a month or so. As daft as it sounds black Colour Magic will give quite impressive results, even more so if you wax over the top, it's a bit like Botox though, it's not a permanent fix and makes you feel a bit like a cheat. The first thing you need to get right is the wash stage though, until you do that you'll just add scratches and swirls - lots of info on DW, in fact I'm shocked that you aren't getting the answers you want. Is this because you are asking questions that have been answered a lot already rather than searching? 2 bucket, test all cloths on a CD first to make sure they don't scratch, yadda, yadda... Did you see my Supra detail thread over there? Mainly machine work though, it's really the only way forward to get good results. Wax - personal choice, everyone sees different things when they view a comparison on a single car, I've had waxes costing silly money right next to ones costing £30 and you really can't see much difference on a well prepared car. The expensive one might just bead tighter and last that little bit longer maybe. Dodo Blue Velvet looks nice on black, I also like Victoria Collectors and Chemical Guys 5050 for a nice wet finish, I suspect I've posted pics at some point, I usually do because I'm a bore http://www.megaboost.co.uk/detailing/dodo-roof-00.jpg http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/detail-14-10-07/P1100729.JPG http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/detail-14-10-07/P1100718.JPG http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/detail-14-10-07/P1100847.JPG Try out the stuff you already have though before you start spending more money on things - it's easy to get caught up in this kind of thing and get carried away trying new things.

    I use the grey / black myself so I see the writing but it's subtle under this scheme so it does the job I thought a change was due, I've been using the other one since day one I think, slightly longer on Supraforums, I got fed up of seeing it though, not sure how long this one will last but I like it. I'm not really keen on avatar changes all the time though so could end up going back.

    Ah my mistake. Give yourself 6 points and go to bed with no supper

    Would that be the same CJ who uses invisible mode so that normal users can't see when he's logged in or what he's viewing? The same CJ that's just had his privacy ripped apart by a moderator abusing their bonus powers?
  9. I take it my generous offer has been declined?
  10. It's higher up the rankings in the "Humour Contest" than the original though.
  11. My local Shell chap wouldn't notice if you did, I swear he wouldn't make eye contact or acknowledge you exist even if you were robbing the place. That's it chappy, you carry on chatting on your phone in that funny language of yours, don't worry about me, I just want to give you nearly £100 for some crappy petrol and a bag of crisps.
  12. You had to spoil it, I give you a point for being funny and then you play up. -1 That gives you 0 again now, you were doing OK too
  13. OK you have a deal, Wii Console with all the games etc but you keep the spare controller - £20. Paypal OK?

    Son Of Rambow

    I saw the trailer the other week, seems like a fairly lightweight happy little film, could be worth a dabble.
  15. That's one of my many tasks - the hard bit was writing the document to document how the document telling people how to document things should be documented.
  16. Put him in "scum" and see if he floats.
  17. Does it have any rust on the sill where the door rubbers meet?
  18. I already have access to a perfectly good site for such things: http://www.grumpyc*nt.com (Without the * and a "u" in it's place obviously) I bet you can't believe I'd be a member on such a thing but even I have a few grumpy moments
