  1. Muppets from Space. Pepe the Prawn (see avatar) does something good and Fozzie says the shrimp did well. To which Pepe replies: "I am not a shrimp I am a KING PRAWN" This became a phrase used at home and Prawn stuck. Bill was added as a psuedonym to use on various websites. He was slagged off and banned and even published in different things. Trouble is that everyone knows it's me now so he has to behave
  2. For a man that couldn't find out how to open the tail!!!!!!! This is a great idea. Top stuff Ed
  3. Another reply. That's it all solved for me now. There's nothing that can be done, we'll just carry on being fleeced because the dti says it's ok Thank you for your e-mail enquiry. I apologise for the delay in replying to you. I understand your concern regarding fuel prices. However, like other commodities, oil is traded in international markets and therefore, despite the UK being a net exporter of oil, the UK is not immune to movements in the international price of oil. Recent high oil prices have been due to a number of factors, most notably: strong global oil demand, particularly from China and the US; low oil inventory levels; and geopolitical uncertainty in key producing countries. But I understand the effect that the high price of oil is having on consumers such as yourself and I do sympathise with you. More stable and lower oil prices would benefit UK consumers and also help aid global economic growth. That is why the UK Government urged OPEC nations to increase supplies in order to help ease tightness in the international oil market. Recent commitments from OPEC producers to increase production have already seen extra supplies reach the market and a softening of oil prices. Average UK petrol prices have also begun to fall as a result. The UK Government will continue to engage with oil producing and consuming countries to promote the benefits of more stable, competitive and transparent international oil markets. We consider this the best mechanism for providing reliable supplies at affordable prices. The Government's policy is not to intervene in commercial price setting because it believes that the consumer is best served by the operation of open competition between companies. However, if you believe that the high prices for fuel in his area indicates anti-competitive behaviour, you should write, with as much detailed evidence to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), at the address below: The Director of Fair Trading (DGFT) Office of Fair Trading Fleet House 2 - 6 Salisbury Square London EC4Y 9JX. The DGFT has power to investigate allegation of anti-competitive agreement and abuse of dominant market position in the oil market Regarding rates of duty on fuel, this is the responsibility of HM Revenue and Customs, who can be contacted on telephone: 0845 010 9000 or website: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/ Regards Gavin DTI Response Centre 020 7215 5000 email: [email protected] Please discuss. Especially the part about falling prices and the government not intervening to set prices.

  8. A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door. "Hurry," she said, "stand in the corner." Then she quickly rubbed baby oil all over him and then dusted him with talcum powder. "Don't move until I tell you to," she whispered. "Just pretend you're a statue." "What's this, honey?" the husband inquired as he entered the room. "Oh it's a statue," she replied nonchalantly. "The Smith's bought one for their bedroom. I liked it so much, I got one for us too." No more was said about the statue, not even later when they went to sleep. Around two in the morning, the husband got out of bed, went to the kitchen and returned a while later with a sandwich and a glass of milk. "Here," he said to the statue, "eat something. I stood like an idiot at the Smith's for three days and nobody offered me as much as a glass of water."

  11. as it says...... On Thursday, along with some bling, then some new Proxes and a full wheel alignment. Ohhhwwww it's so exciting
  12. A reply at last...... Thank you for your email regarding the cost of fuel in the UK. As you will know volatile world oil prices have resulted in higher UK pump prices than would otherwise have been expected in recent months. In response to volatile oil prices the government announced a continuation of the freeze on main road fuel duties for this year. We have announced that we will defer the inflation increase in fuel duties, planned for 1 September, owing to sustained volatility in the oil market. This will now be reviewed in the Pre-Budget Report. Thank again for your enquiry. I hope this is of assistance Regards, Jacqueline Nally Communications Unit The Labour Party Labour - the work goes on Well that clears it up nicely
