  1. Over 20k, eh? Surely he must have a paper round as well as the restaurant job to earn such a sum?
  2. No he means the cable for the electric windows on a bike.
  3. Thrust bearing? BTW: Your Sig: "Jasma exhaust"

  6. That would be "It's had its share of idiots." It's = contraction of "It has" its = possessive pronoun, not a contraction.
  7. Nope. You're both wrong if you think "had it's share of idiots" is correct. Huh?
  8. Your staff? How many people have you employed for more than 10 years then?
  9. £7.50 ? That's pathetic, especially considering what a massive company they are. (Turnover and profit-wise) I currently work in the payments industry (Visa). On a course last week the lecturer guy reckoned that for every £7 spent in the UK one of those pounds is spent at Tesco! Now that's a lot of money! ------------------- When I was working at B&Q I nearly got in trouble 'cos of a long service award; the underling to the big boss collared me and said that at this month's team meeting "Just call me Keith" ("my door's always open", you know the type) was going to be present me with my 10 year long service award and would I like it in B&Q or M&S vouchers? I was like "How much is it?" "£50" she said. "For 10 years service? That's £5 a year" says I. "You worked that out on your own?" "So that's like 10p per week?" Her: "Yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before. What shall I tell Keith?" "Tell him to stick it up his arse" Strangely, I didn't get presented with my vouchers at the team meeting. I was made redundant shortly afterwards.

    Yus mate, 'course they do. Is it worth it though, for the small amount of extra top speed?
  11. Are you feeling alright Steve? Getting rid of the best ECU out there, which is already mapped for your car, and swapping it for the current flavour of the month ECU which will need mapping from scratch? Doesn't seem like good a plan to me mate. Why not get the VVTi wired up to the MoTeC and get the mapping tweaked to suit?
  12. BIC *shudder* One year for my Mrs' company xmas "do" they flew us all up to Edinburgh. Posh 5* hotel (The Balmoral, if anyone knows Edinburgh) Sven and Nancy were in the lobby when we checked in), Black Tie, A dedicated waiter for each table, all that BS So, before the main evening do, I'm in the bathroom getting ready for the evening do, we're late as usual. I'm shaving, in a hurry, and snapped the blade off my trusty 2 blade Gillette razor. Oh bugger, half a clean shaven face, half with 3 day's growth. "I don't suppose we bought any spare razor blades with us?" "No? Why?" she says. Terrific. So, in desperation, I ended up shaving my face with her topiary razor. It was a BIC I spent the evening looking like the Singing Detective. Worst cuts and shaving rash evar.
  13. 25 uses "try before you buy" evaluation copy, presumably.
  14. I have ... The full TV package inc Movies and Sports £47/month Sky HD = £5/month Sky+ on multiroom. = £10 Sky Broadband 2MB = £0 No phone (not with Sky anyway) --- I've just checked my online banking and mine hasn't gone up
  15. I know! You're referring to the actual operation, aren't you? It's "Coming Around Again" - isn't it?
  16. It's fine on KPH cars but on MPH converted Tips it's a disaster. The Traction Control keeps cutting in all the time - even at really low speeds when there's zero chance of losing traction - think what the usual crap Supra TC is like and then imagine it 5x worse. The other problem is the kickdown fault with MPH converted Tips: even if you are doing 120-130mph, when you put your foot down for full throttle the Tip gearbox will change down to third gear - which will put the revs into the redline. It will not change up to top gear unless you back off the throttle. It's a major pain in the ass.
  17. Not that. I like auto TTs but not Tips. The harsh Tip gear changes (in Tip/Manual mode) and the deal-breaker 'kickdown to third gear at full throttle' fault is why I'll never have another Tip, or recommend one to anybody.
  18. Yes, apart from limited choice of aftermarket cams. No.
  19. He has fixated on his normal sized nose being the reason he can't get a girlfriend, not the plucked eyebrows, and has spent "the price of a single conversion" having it cosmetically altered. Now it's done he can apparently "find myself a nice girl and get married soon".
