General Discussion Area / Re: Funerals are better these days.

« on: 23 January 2020, 08:37:24 »

this guy had 2 houses being knocked into one, between them they had about 10 kids,

a few had "syndromes" so he was carer for them his wife was his carer, they had 2 free cars,
he told me he got £30k in payments.
to earn that he would need nearer £50k

other than being well overweight there was nothing stopping him working.

There are 'exceptional' cases like this, the tabloids and channel 5 used to get plenty of mileage out of them. The way I look at it is: despite the apparent unfairness, I certainly wouldn't want to live like that. And for them to actually brag about it, well, it show they are far call use to their family or society in general and should be culled immediately.

Couldn't agree more Steve.

Just opt for no funeral as I have. £8k to dispose of a persons remains is madness imo.

I wish I knew what the point of funerals is. The person isn't there, s why "pay your respects to them" ? .They are dead. Its just a money spinning racket as far as I can see.

Looks to be a very nice example. Even has CID, which most don't. With the low miles I don't think the price is unreasonable, but its a dealer price and I would want some kind of warranty.

My plan is very simple. I have no money to leave anyone and left instructions for no funeral. Send my carcass to be burnt, and if anyone wants to do anything with the ashes, they are welcome to them. Don't see the need for all the fuss.

Maybe we are more realistic and less entitled than the French. We used to get the pension at 65 and probably be pushing up daisies 5 to 7 years later. Now, many people are living well into their 80,s so the country cant afford to pay out pensions to all at 65 like we used to.
Also, the Govt. doesn't have a penny of its own money. It all has to come from taxpayers, or more realistically, future taxpayers who aren't even born yet. British sense of fair play kicks in over facts like that. The French don't have a sense of fair play.

They also repay the money spent doing up their house. She is made for life now though as she has a sprog sired by a royal, which will be priceless on the U.S. talk show circuit.
Pretty sure they will also retain Duke / Duchess titles.
Nor bad for a girl who used to carry the red boxes on the U.S. version of Deal or no deal.
I predict she will dump him within 3 years.

Back to the Omega today as Airfix 1 is back on the road. Changed the knocking n/s balljoint for a shiny new one and cleaned up the inner  faces of the front discs. Will need new front discs some time this year.

I read that the unions are leaning towards Lisa Nandy.  They'll be fighting like rats in a sack! 

Nice girl with an impressive rack but I think the job would prove too much for her.

Flipping burgers in McDonalds would prove too much for her. She is thick as pigshite. She is married to a millionaire though, who ironically, has links to the fracking industry.

Your a fellow French car sufferer

FTFY
glad you got it sorted, the plug to injector and injector loom seem a common fail ,go brittle with the heat 

at least you now have the diagnostic software for the next fault that pops up     

Yep, its actually quite a useful little tool. Claims to be able to code keys and injectors for example. So I shall keep it as long as I keep the car. Im sure I will need it again.
Thanks again for the help. The Renault forum wasn't much help at all. The resident guru,s favourite advice to members with cars that wont run or difficult t start, is to spray easy start or brake cleaner down he inlet and keep spraying it until it runs properly !
When I told him at was the juice of satan and wouldn't have it anywhere near my car he seemed less keen to offer advice.

Not to mention the approx. £30 billion we have paid into the EU since the time we voted to leave it, but they used every trick in the book to stop it happening.. Half a million quid is a drop in the ocean.

I would like to see the death of Labour and other left wing parties and have the Tories ( who are no longer right wing anyway) in power with a party similar to Brexit / UKIP in opposition to keep them on their toes.
