At £55/m savings, that's just under 2 years pay-back time. 

Had you done it 5 or 6 years ago,

a) the kits were stupidly cheap
b) it would have already paid for itself several times over, and you wouldn't even be mentioning LPG, because you wouldn't care


Not a dig, and don't take as such, as I too regretted not doing mine so much earlier.  I too thought I needed the boot. Reality was, there were always other options for those rare occasions you do.

What's even worse is I have the kit but I just haven't quite got round to fitting it, I nearly have at least twice but but but.....

Especially as the front end is pretty much done

Modified the loom slightly for the front end to allow me to run some of it a slightly different way  In truth it'll probably be fitted on the project car (The black 3.2) so I don't have to take the daily driver off the road and can take my time.

Ah, OK

Still not sure what a comethong is though

Reports around this evening that we have agreed a 57 billion "divorce" settlement.  Anyone else heard this?

Dismissed with a hefty dose of avian bacon

The upper and lower numbers change with each news bulletin 

[Sir Tigger KC]

There's alot of speculation in the press because none of them know for sure what's going on. 

The Guardian is reporting that the UK has agreed a gross figure of £89 billion, but The Express say Mrs May will reject a demand for £55 billion and is preparing to walk away! 

[Entwood]

Not one of the mainstream TV news outlets evens mentions it at the moment .. ... so ... make of that what you wish .. but seems the "written" press has, once again, gone for "making" news headlines rather than "reporting" the news that is actually happening ..

[Varche]

That is one of my gripes with uk tv. The News hardly ever reports news but spends ages speculating. Gone are the days of  the News being just honest facts. Ican hear Laura Kuensberg rehearsing her spiel already

My gut feeling is no matter how much Britain offers it will never be enough.

Are you on good terms with anyone who runs a restaurant ?

3 years to earn back the purchase price, but it will probably be worth more in three years time than it is now.
If local fuel supplies are a bit thin on the ground, theres always ebay. 
Its a bit expensive at 35p per litre.

Are a few around here... would need to be auto though. Think I would miss 3.2’s grunt!

Yeah - he forgot to mention that it's quicker to walk.

Its quite fun in its own peculiar way tbh. They handle quite well, so the trick is to get up to speed and just keep your right foot planted no matter what.
My 17 mile commute takes the same time whether I use the 190 or the 3.2. 
Autos are more common than manuals btw. Its unbelievably cheap motoring, with the added benefit of a decent owners forum.

[Varche]

So we wake up to a media frenzy of speculation ( no facts) that we have agreed a divorce bill maybe as high as 100 billion euros.! Some speculation that it is gross or net! Does that mean we have to pay tax too on it?

If we end upwith a no deal because of say No agreement on Irish border or over trade it is to be hoped that the up to 100 billion deal can be negated.

Also interesting was the report that said it was impossible to put an actual figure on the UK liabilities as no one knows. Deja Vu methinks.

I wonder if weak and wobbly will hold a press conference soon?

[Sir Tigger KC]

I doubt that we'll ever know exactly how much the divorce bill will be. 

[Varche]

I doubt that we'll ever know exactly how much the divorce bill will be. 

Well 5 billion will go straight to Hungary. They consume their development grants(our money) faster than they can be sent!!

[Kevin Wood]

Ah, OK

Still not sure what a comethong is though

Doesn't sound like you want to, TBH.

Now that's a depressing fugly that needs smacking in the face with a cricket bat...   ...only somebody clearly already has.


I bet even Lord Opti wouldn't shag it, and we know how unfussy he is

[STEMO]

I’m sure we’ll come to an agreement over money, but I just can’t see how we’re going to solve the Irish border problems.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

What problems ? All interested parties want it to remain an open border so it shouldn't be much of a problem.
Hand them an agreement which says something like - "The UK Govt. will commit to keeping the border open on the proviso that the Dublin Govt. take responsibility to prevent illegal immigration at the border, to prevent terrorists popping over the border to commit atrocities as they used to, and to prevent the smuggling problem from becoming much more severe than it always has been.
If the Dublin Govt. fails in its undertaking in these matters, the UK Govt. reserves the right to take measures to protect the UK and its citizens".
There ya go.Job done. 
Its actually a red herring. The EU are using it as a shit stirrer to create a problem among the disagreeing parties in the UK, and Dublin are more than willing to help, as it not only helps the EU cause, but gives them a glimmer of hope of driving a wedge between Norn Irn and Great Britain. An opportunity that they will never turn down.
The veiled treat of the issue derailing "the peace process" and thus returning to the murder and maiming of the past is nothing short of sick, and those in Brussels, Dublin, Belfast and Westminster who are indulging in it should be ashamed of themselves, except they are the kind of worthless specimens who are beyond shame.
Whatever the outcome, it wont affect the "peace process", for the same reasons the process came about in the first place.
