  1. Thats not a 40mph crash more like 10mph if that (anyway 40mph coming up to a roundabout, granny needs to slow down a bit :yp: ) This is 40mph: name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>"> name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="480" height="385"> Hope you recover quickly, whiplash can be a real pain in the....

    Cure for jet lag

    Depends if your ahead or behind but I normally fight it, stay up until 2-3am so your absolutely knackered - if your behind drug yourself up (sleeping tablets of course )
  3. I managed to crush my thumb and rip the tip off whilst messing around with boulders, I now have to live with a completely useless thumb (no nail so cant pick anything up!). Just gone 18 and bought a defender pick up, didn't have a drivers licence, wasn't insured, no mot or tax but decided to go out with illegal tyres whilst -12, snow and ice - flying down a single lane....corner - boom!
  4. Kirkby Lonsdale (south of Kendal). Just about to go out, cant believe I'm still wearing my winder attire in the middle of summer
  5. Lucky b*******! I haven't seen the sun for months, haven't been able to cut the grass for 6 weeks either (which isn't a bad thing )
  6. Up here its p***ing down and has been for weeks, cold grey and depressing! Yet we have a hosepipe ban, how does that work I'm sure its the same cloud hovering over my house for the past 2 months, you can drive 30 minutes south and you are bathed in 30c sunshine, not fair!
  7. Apparently he was Tasered, he then shot himself (wonder which policeman did it )
  8. Correction, 20 years max, out in 10

    Who does this remind you of.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Yup Its been bugging me for days!
  11. Similar to this: http://www.yourdiscovery.com/video/mythbus...-a-truck/?cc=US
  12. The card is already filled with 0's and 1's (well 0's only if completely blank), so the answer is no! ( 0's and 1's weigh the same )
  13. Just quote the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and tell them to frigging fix it. If an item becomes defective within 12-24 months its deemed defective from the date of purchase, your contract is with Carphone so unfortunately you will need to resolve through them. Keep on them, dont give up! :blink:
  14. You may think helicopters/other high value items don't figure into the scheme, but it will filter down - ATC employees, tanker drivers, maintenance crews, pilots, brokers, airfields etc etc it will affect a number of sectors not just aviation. and no I didn't vote labour nor the bunch of toffs who have found themselves in power and decided to screw the country (once again) and risk a depression. I'm off for a beer before VATs slapped on
  15. Yes I do, but you still pay the 2.5% then reclaim (thats 2.5% we could do with at the moment!), you also have those who aren't VAT registered (small PPL schools/airfields etc) and private/group investors (those at the moment are our main target audience), the larger tour operators will go direct to manufacturer and import from the US.
  16. The VAT increase is a big problem for me as I deal with high value products (helicopters), at the moment they are selling very well both within the UK and Europe. With the VAT increase we are looking at an extra £15k+ per machine, that's obviously not good! You then have the running costs (fuel), AvGas and Jet-A1 - at the moment it costs £180 to fill a small aircraft, £500+ for a turbine. Once you factor in the 2.5% (doesn't sound like much) its no longer viable and wipes your profits. Its going to be crippling for small companies in the aviation sector (any other sector for that matter), there is no need to increase VAT yet, in 12-24 months time perhaps once the economy is in positive growth. Increasing VAT is just going to slow growth, its always been the same with the Tories - sledgehammer to crack a nut!
  17. Christ knows why they increased VAT, it cancels out the 15% VAT last year. Its definitely going to affect exports/growth, so why do it Too much too quickly!
  18. I would say they had just cleaned the pipes, probably left over cleaning fluids

    World cup? what??

    Overpaid cheats - this is why I no longer watch the game:

    It may be a phishing site be careful! Make sure its definitely PayPal - check for the green bar (top of your browser).
  21. If you have a large neck this can also contribute to the snoring (excess pressure on the airways), best to have a word with your GP.

    Im off to OZ

    Whatever you do don't go via the US! Its a nightmare 27 hour flight from JFK, not worth it unless you spend a few days in NY then buzz over to San Fran for a few more days - not only is it exhausting but it will completely mess your body clock up (travelling huge distances not particularly quickly!).

    Sky TV

    Yep you need twin cable and a quad LNB to replace the existing (what should be) single LNB. Although the sky+ subscription is now free you still need to be on a monthly channel subscription.

    Emirates are the best by far (and cheapest direct), they go Dubai > Changi > Brisbane > Auckland Its nice to have a few stops, helps the legs! You can get a cheap domestic with Virgin Blue to Melbourne from Brisbane. If you want a direct flight from the UK to Melbourne go with Quantas - the only problem is their service is **** and they charge over the odds!
