Or a Caterham, also impractical, basic and stupidly quick, but with pin sharp handling and reasonably reliable (mine was anyway). Edit: Too slow, but Dunkield and I are on the same sheet.

I had a 450 SEAC years ago. What a car! Utterly unreliable, drank petrol like Ollie Read drank whisky, was a nightmare in the mildly damp and undriveable in the wet, leaked a bit and as said had all the build quality of a British Leyland Metro!!! :blink: Bu **** me, I'd have another one in the blink of an eye and still regularly kick myself for selling mine!!!! Of all the cars I've owned that is the one that stirs the loins, the roar and tone of that engine when you hit the loud pedal, the raw acceleration, the on the edge handling are all things of a bygone age and something I deeply miss! I looked at getting another, but £17k for a weekend car was too rich for my tastes!

I'm not prepared to believe that we are the only 'intelligent' (questionable) species in the Universe, and we are sending out probes to try and see what else is out there, I therefore find it completely acceptable that unknown others are doing the same and quite possibly in a far more advanced way. As for ghosts, yeah, why not. One thing we don't seem to be able to get rid of is energy, you can change it or transfer it but you can't cancel it, we are forms of energy and that probably ends up somewhere, call it a ghost if you like. Having said all that, I've never seen either although my mother and sister claim to have separately seen ghosties!

Sorry fella, was considering my options, you have further PM.

... especially after all the posturing and attitude that we've had to endure from Merkel and Sarkozy recently! Just needs Germany to get dwngraded and then maybe the superciliousness can be dispatched and we can all get on with fixing the problems ( which I do believe we are doing more positively than much of Europe).

You beat me to it! I was reading the thread and thinking "It's just like sea fishing"! Hours spent in uncomfortable and often potentially dangerous positions, in the cold and wet, damp mud never giving you any respite even if you aren't sitting on it. Never knowing if you are going to get a bite/shot, and yet you can improve your chances by learning about the patterns of tide and light, but even when you get it spot on, it's still generally sparse periods of activity, occasionally frantic...but normally not, interespersed with long periods of anticipation! But the buzz when it does go right !!!! It's bloody fantastic!

Looks familiar, were you instructing in 2010? If so I think I may well have had a day with you! If not, another of their instructors is also running a Crescent Gixer! Edit: Just seen your name! Almost certain it was you now!

With all due respect, IF (and I believe that they are out there, probably escaped/released 'pets', lynx,ocelot or similar ) these animals were going to attack humans, do you not think it would have happened by now? We are generally to big for most cats, and if we had tigers roaming the UK we would probably have a pic by now! I suspect that having been caged by humans, once they gain their freedom, the last thing they want is to get caged again and run like ******* in the opposite direction to people.

You have PM mate.

Looks more like a clanking bit of 'armour' to me. First ST, left leg, as he walks through the door.

Try that... You needed to remove one of these 'http://'.

What he said ^^^^. I'm working on a site where three different Scots today have said to me today, that it WILL be great WHEN Scotland gets its independence. None of them actually intend to go back if it does though! That said, just as many also said they didn't think it the wisest idea.

Yeah, and that fence post would catch it if it had tipped right?

It does seem he is down on his luck. After years of Ready,steady cook, Sat Morn kitchen et al, he has reportedly been reduced to selling most of his restaurants (I believe he has just the one now) and having to actually cook the food while his wife does the waitressing...all of which is very sad, but...does that justify law breaking? Answers on a postcard please, if affirmative then I'm off for an appointment with the HSBC ('cos I GUARANTEE I'm worse off than Worral-T)....just as soon as I've cut down the 12 bore!

I think that all Pajeros are auto box. Be nice to know if it's long or short wheelbase though.

Legend? Hottie? Teaser?

Couldn't agree more. Personally I find him way more entertaining than Ray Mears (especially when Mears is in naturalist mode :blink: ) and feel they both would manage to survive in the woods. As for who would win a fight, I really couldn't G.A.S.!

Not really looking to turn a profit mate, just hate seeing things go to waste. EDIT: To be honest, having looked, you can buy 80 seeds for £1.60 on Evilbay, however, I liked the variety of the pack I've bought.

In an ideal world you'd just write it off. In our world it's a racist comment, albeit the reverse of what is usually shouted about, as such, I suspect her days in her current position are numbered. In her position she DOES know better. ...although the best thing to come out of this is that it's shown Milliband in a very poor light ! He's already been castigated for being soft on punishing the racist comments of one of his party! BBC Radio 2 at it's best!!

God but reading these threads does p*** me off. It is as has been said, difficult enough to find land to shoot over (nigh on impossible in Sussex!) without people giving those who offer a chance a kick between the legs! No excuse really if he 'chanced his arm'. We all know the deal on here, a favour on someone elses permission is exactly that, a favour, not an open invite! Edit: I should add that I don't have any farmland to shoot over and as such realise what goes into trying to gain that, and how gutted you'd be to lose it!

Just looking at South Devons chilli packs, I don't need/want 200 chilli plants! Anyone want to go halves? Cost will be £10.25 plus postage, so what £11.50 at worst. Ok, so deal is half of the pack as listed below, so approximately 100 seeds and I'll copy the instructions. It's not the cost that bothers me, but I guess the seeds will spoil over the year once opened and I'm not going to plant 200 seeds, knowing my luck I'll end up with 99% germination!!!! Costing is based on half the cost of the seeds and postage in a padded envelope. 10 of our best selling seeds, with a saving of £2.40 over buying them individually. Includes:- Paper Lantern Habanero(very hot),Orange Habanero(hot),Hungarian Hot Wax( medium), Long Slim Cayenne (hot), Serrano (medium), Pimientos de Padron (mild), Fresno (medium), Peruvian Purple (hot), Aji Limon (hot), Jalapeno (medium). Every 'Top 10' seed selection comes with full printed instructions. Contains an average of 20 seeds per packet (200 seeds in all). Respond here or better still PM me, ta.

If someone reckons they can trace me from the city I live in and an internet moniker, then let them try. Nigh on impossible I'd reckon. Quite happy to put a general location up, can't see the harm.

It's a good thing the schools go back tomorrow.

Yeah good call on Charlie, lot of time for him and like the way he's been able to guide his boys without knocking the spirit out of them....not so keen on the Lumley call mind, but will say no more this being a positive thread!
