The prat in a newish Land Rover Defender 90 who parked right next to me at Strensham Services on the M5 northbound earlier today, despite the fact I had parked in the middle of acres of empty parking spaces just so that I didn't have to sidle down the gap and perform gymnastic contortions to get in my car!

It does come with 4 driven wheels.
The second Jagaur XFR I owned had around 600 BHP after Viezu had a play. And rear drive only.
It did shit me up in the wet though.
You should go for spin with Rae in his Evo then!
I'm a shadow of my former self....

Personally, I think the power companies are scumbags and they get what I owe them and nothing more.
The cash is better off in my account earning a pittance in interest!
I don't mind paying for something I use regardless of price, the one that gets "my goat " is vehicle tax & all this emissions boll ocks, we all know that it's utter shite and the cash isn't going where its supposed to, we must have the worst roads in Europe, all motorists are being fu**ed up the arse in the UK good & proper. We've recently come home from the Carribbean islands I know that there are bad parts but overall the roads are fantastic nearly every vehicle you see is a large SUV & the sun is shining & the crime rates are virtually zero, signs stating that bad behaviour will result in the offender being jailed are clearly visible, try using " mental health issues" boll ocks over there.

« on: 02 April 2024, 23:21:38 ».Have you thought about getting something fun, like a little hot hatch or something Rog?
Y'know something that puts a smile on your face when you get in it?
I'd thought along those lines. A hot hatch wouldn't do it for me, it would need to be more like a conventional sports car. But, it just wouldn't get used much.
.
I drove a lot before retirement, too much, and was part of the reason for retiring. I got fed up with sitting in traffic jams, not getting where I needed to be in decent time, the constant risk of getting "done" for some reason. It's a long time since I've driven for fun.
.
Actually, the last time was on a skid pad at a disused airfield when the instructor removed the ABS chip from my Merc . . . .
Sounds like you need a motorbike then?

No, but I read that you can put fresh manure in the bottom of your planter and as it rots it generates warmth which stimulates growth and you get nice big veggies.
Cucumbers are fruit too
Steaks, pork chops, bacon etc are NOT fruit and are OK to eat
Damn, I should have written nice big fruit and veggies to thwart the pedants!

If the equestrian type can afford over £100K for a flash horse box, why can’t they afford a few ratchet straps to secure the horse in the back so they can drive a bit faster.
Our local riding centre has taken to riding the horses through the housing estate, presumably because the fields are wet. So every road is now like a dirty farm track, and if your do meet one, due to all the traffic calming, you have no chance to get by.
Plenty of free muck for the tomatoes though!

« on: 02 April 2024, 12:54:18 »Only £57😱 standing charge will be over £30 a month leaving only £27 for gas and electricity? Are you sure you don’t mean £57 per week?.
No definitely £57 per month 👍
Well.... The reality is that you are paying more than £57 a month because they are chipping away at your credit balance as well.

I'm with the ever useless British Gas since my energy company went tits up 2 or 3 years back, and they charge me the OFGEM rates for energy and standing charge.
That's probably because I pay monthly for my usage rather than having a direct debit. I know I pay slightly more, but I have control and they can't swipe huge amounts from my bank account.
I pay a month in arrears as well, so it's like having a free overdraft!
I have a massive overdraft from Octopus because they didn't increase my direct debit during the silly prices, but reduced it by the amount of the government top-up, then only hiked it a couple of months ago.
I'm not complaining that they decided to give me a couple of grand of interest free loan.
The money is better off in your account!

« on: 01 April 2024, 20:31:31 »You will upset Rae If he finds out Opti has a flock of blow up "Dolly look-a-like love sheep"Oh, I think we should. At lengthwe won't talk about his other blow up farm animals………….
I rolled a 600cc Regal saloon.....and a 700cc Regal Supervan.
………
I find the most concerning thing about this thread is that Opti had not one, but two plastic pigs.
Nah Rae won't be upset, he'll be heading over to Opti Towers for the weekend's orgy!

I've had problems with energy companies taking large amounts from my account and have found getting refunds from them is like getting blood out of a stone.
Hence, I pay my bills the old fashioned way and always make sure my account is in debit. Fk 'em!
