  1. Can anyone detail this bracketed MOT speak/code please?  >(2.4.A.3)<

     I'm doing up another Shogun Pinin project car that has zero chassis corrosion to be seen - very strange for a Pinin I know but it can't have been used on salted roads.

    Looking into its previous onllne MOT history I find a fail detailed as below. I've seen many issues of Pinin corrosion, inner sills, turret tops and inner front wings, cross members etc but cannot find any sign of any corrosion repair and suspect it was an MOT con job on a naive owner and the pass was issued 2 days and zero miles later  - and there are no subsequent corrosion issues.

    Could it maybe mean something other than chassis/welding?

    A really minor issue I know but when I advertise it I want to make a reference to the absence of any corrosion repairs because its so unique. I'm happy to give the reg number to anyone who is in the know.

    Date tested
    4 December 2012

    Corrected that for you:  I see our wonderful Hamza shielder supporters are threatening to take action over any Government sales of arms to Israel.

    if the business of war covers this we are now in a realm of excuses to blow up cars full of kids local chaps family is still waiting to see an apology nobody can tell me that’s acceptable these lads served this country they deserve more than excuses of war and feet shuffling 

    So we pretend there are no terrible awful inevitable unintended casualties of war clouding the issue.

    And lets also pretend that ex SBS could not possibly be considered potential current private or otherwise military assets- possibly on the way back from something we are not being told about.

    I think you would be naive to think that Russia and others would not play on these thing to the maximum though.

    They are stirring the pot, of that I have no doubt.

    It's entirely feasible that Russia funds the dinghy immigrants to thin out UK's and Europe's patriotic military personnel.

  5. There's still occasional exceptionally good shogun Pinin's about with minimal rust - a smaller version of the Pajero with the same 2wd/4wd/ difflock boxes in some of them. You'd need to be able to check underneath any you look at because some are even worse than Jimny's.

    I know this for a fact as I buy some 'project' Pinin's and currently have a 5 door one in progress with NO rust on the inner sills where most go, no rusted strut tops, no rusted front crossmembers and no mention of rust in its MOT history. And no sign of welded repairs anywhere.

    I don't think its ever been used on salted roads. I bought it from a farmer who'd had it sorned for a while and let his boys learn to drive in his fields before they totally burnt out the clutch so I had to get it recovered after they used a tractor to get it out of mud.

    We have to do Trade deals around the world following Brexit one of those is the new agreement with AUS. 

    Sheep farming will become largely unsustainable without grant aid as we move further into the new FTA. Imports are currently increasing and limits on those imports are scheduled to be further removed. UK farm subsidies are moving from direct to environmental which makes sheep farming even less attractive.  It will likely result in reduced food prices that was a key benefit of Brexit. 

    It provides an opportunity to ditch sheep farming and move to other more profitable environment based activity. 

    It's a win win. Cheaper food, more emphasis on environmental protection. 

    Best not forget the Irish potato famine. In the event of another war we get dragged into we'll not be able to feed ourselves - nor our military. That's in addition to not providing our own energy - nor steel for that matter. Our island could be blockaded and underwater power cables be cut off. We are being led by the nose into our own demise. All at a time of minimal military levels and major threats from larger well equipped countries.

    I see a multi slippery slope pattern emerging alongside the dwindling patriots among our changing population. (That being the tactful polite version)

    They have admitted to doing it for money. No chance of them falling out of a window or a quick death, before a trial. I suspect they will suffer an agonising imprisonment for many, many years.

    I think they's admit anything under torture.

  8. My brother had prostate cancer - was told he will die with it rather than because of it. He dumped all the junk food like vegetable cooking oil, margarine, white bread, sprayed off cereals, most commercially baked foods including pasties with pastry made with margarine and a few others and its cleared up. Now cooks with lard, and eats organic blade cut rolled oats for breakfast instead of the ultra processed type. I'm beginning to think the increasing amount of cancer about might at least be partly caused by all the junk we eat, trustingly thinking that vegetable oils and marg for example is supposed to be acceptable.

    Well I posted two Jiffy bags last week 24h post and both recipients still haven’t received them . Means I’ll refund of course but you pay for a service and don’t get it and the RM don’t give a hoot

    That's unlucky - I ordered a part from Mitsybits at rotherham 2pm yesterday - it arrived by 24 hour post at 10.45 this morning.

    And what of the hypocrisy? 
    Saying others in his position must call a by election then when he’s in that position refusing to do so? 
     

     

    Times have changed in the last few months - barely a month goes by without seeing the Tories sink even lower into a cesspit - away from his liking.

    Umpteen Tory voters have become disenchanted with the party and I imagine many of his constituents will be voting REFORM even if only to get more action on Brexit - as per the Mandate Boris won the election on for them - and migration.

    Sine the main parties are continuing their move to the left, I would suggest it is not Lee leaving Labour and then Conservatives, but rather the parties leaving Lee......

     

    With regards resigning and calling another "costly" by election (which may not happen before the proposed May election date), if he is still representing his constituents who a lot of are now supporting Reform, is he still not following their mandate as we vote for the person, not the party?

    Indeed - he's had the whip removed by a party that used to be on the right for being on the right - so is now contemplating joining a party that is further right than the now only vaguely right tories.

    I call that standing by his beliefs and not being afraid to speak them: is moving to where he can air them more freely.
