  1. Is this the one where the woman was crossing the road with her head down looking at her I-phone in that case the guy was in the wrong but what sort of fool crosses the road looking a there phone screen bring back the green cross man and teach people that you stand still to look at a phone not wander about and expecting everyone elc to get out of your way.
  2. You say that you are leaving the country for some time you do not say will the guns be sitting in an empty house are there other family members living there will the house be let if your family will still be living there no problem as if you have a brake in it would soon be spotted more information required.
  3. I think a lot of it comes down to governments of all colours cutting down on the money that the council gets to run it services somewhere along the line it was decided that we did not need lots of building inspectors it should be left to the builders to follow what rules there are and this is what you get councils should be funded to have proper inspection of buildings as it used to be done. I think they will end up saying that nobody was directly to blame but I think that we need proper building rules that states what you can and cannot do and or materials that can and cannot be used but this is just to simple for the powers that be to do.
  4. Just listening to the the guy setting it up on the radio and it sounds to me that this is going to take many months more like years to come to a decision if indeed it ever does sounds to me like another under the grass one.
  5. You should be able to find out on this page. http://carfueldata.dft.gov.uk/ It may be my computer but it is taking a few seconds to load this page but worth it.
  6. It looks like Turkey in not going to play ball with him :whistling: https://global.handelsblatt.com/politics/turkeys-arms-deal-is-a-slap-against-merkel-trump-825660
  7. The problem is the Jimny is not exactly sexy if it was for a Land Rover or something a bit more up market the number plate would be worth loads of money.
  8. The thing that I can never understand is you get people in lots of countries all over the world living side by side for hundreds of years then one day it seems people suddenly change and turn into mad killers killing people that they know went to school with lived next door to I just do not get it. :no:
  9. I think it also depends on what you do for a living if you are sitting in an office or driving all day that is ok but watches do not tend to like it if you are doing hard manual work they tend to stop going after a bit.
  10. I always used to where a watch but when my last one died I just thought as I am retired and no longer need to now what the exact time is at all times why bother to get a new watch when my phone is in my pocket it only takes a few seconds to pull it out and check the time the only time that this could be a problem is if you are driving and if people see you looking at your phone they could think that you are phoning or texing.
  11. I find it very sad that for so many people there life must be so bad that they have to drink until they pass out to get away from it nothing against people having a few drinks to unwind but why get so drunk that they wake up the next day not knowing what they did the night before and having a king size hangover madness.
  12. I have to say that this thought went through my head but from what I have seen of froomey he is a nice guy but completely ruthless it the final race he could not let that little guy that one the race have the white jumper all he had to do was come in 12 and it would have meant the world to that young guy and not affected froomey at all but no he had to come in 11 the just to deprive the other guy. As for Alberto Contador he made that race froomey could mot keep up with him on the big hills and only did what he did because his team sky are rich and can afford to buy the best lead out people to protect him I am not saying that he is not good but with that team around you any half decent rider could have done it. If we are talking about dope one thing comes to mind wiggins :whistling: to see Alberto riding around in the white jumper so happy with the crowds chearing made the day for me.
  13. That is a lovely little bike you have made a smashing job of doing it up why is it that whenever someone puts a post up like this it ends up in a willy waggling contest look at my bike it so much bigger than yours.
  14. What year is it my 2006 Jeep 2.8 CRD is is that but I pay it monthly do its more like £545 per year robbing ********. This is the place to check what the road tax should be http://carfueldata.dft.gov.uk/new-vehicle-tax.aspx?t=23ude39
  15. As long as it is no newer than 2005 the road tax should be under £300 the only problem with them is chassis rust on some of them that is what put me off I really like the look of them and they seem to be well made.
  16. If they are stopping Trucks and Vans to test them at the road side it would not look very good if they did it wearing Jeans and tea shirts also the motorway patrols are for the most part not police I had a friend who did it but he still wore a police type uniform.
  17. I also have a nice set in my shed but the way that I look at it if I decide to change my truck them I can always put them back on and hope that my new ones will fit the new truck probably not but it makes me feel better to think this.
  18. When I sold my last car on there I put a start price of £900 even though I thought it was worth about £1400 but you have to start somewhere it was on for a week and I had lots of interest I spend ages answering the questions but still got not bids one guy did come to look at it but was worried about an engine light that had been on for years with no problems. With two days to go and still no bids I thought I'm not being had again and letting it go for £901 as there was nothing wrong with it I decided to keep it and put the start price up to £2500 and as expected I had no bidders but a week later the guy who came to look at it got back to me and offered me £2000 for it . I excepted that offer and he came and collected it so both of us was happy but after thinking about it I wish that I had kept it I still miss that car and the price of them has gone up to add to my sadness.
  19. I was new to ebay at the time and I had several people watching them as it was only three days that the £40 guy had to wait I expected at least him to bid on them in the end it makes no sense that someone was prepared to buy them for £40 but not even put a bid in for £5 in the end knowing what I now now I would have put a bottom price and raise it later if need be.
  20. some years ago I got a 4x4 and had a set of BFG ATs fitted the tyres on the truck was good so I put them on ebay with no reserve after a couple of days someone offered me £40 for them if I would end the sale I could not work out how to do that so I said to him you will have to wait for it to finish in three days well time goes by and I'm expecting him to put in a bit but nothing. then with one min to go some plonker put a £2 bit as I wanted to put other stuff on latter I had to let them go 5 good tyres with about 6mm of tread on them for about 40p each never again I told him to stuff the £2 up his *** when he came to collect them with a big smile on his face. :sad1:
  21. But they do tend to get lots of little cracks in the side after time as the rubber is so hard that is why I went for a set of general ATs when I got a new set for my new 2006 jeep.
  22. They are good on a proper heavy 4x4 but on lighter cars/trucks soft roaders they can make the ride a bit harsh as the side walls are so stiff.
  23. Make up your mind man you are dithering like an old woman. :rolleyes:
  24. Have you tried putting the aircon on the aircon blows cold dry air while the heater will blow damp worm air it worked for me on my 2003 X-trail diesel
