« on: 27 April 2012, 20:43:20 »
Ok. I hav'nt read All the posts, just the first page as it's too tekkie for my feeble luddite mind but has Jaime bought an Insignia? 
I promised him some time ago i'd keep my gob shut regarding my opinions on satnaffs so will adhere to that suffice to say i too have a gay list...(agree with you on the sneezing once thing, that is gay). If i were to spend money on an Insignia i'd worry that it would age like an old Vectra or Mondeo not have the lasting love & character the Migs do.

Sympathies with you neighbours. A potentially lovely vessel. More radio needed! When the god awful film came out in 97 i was forced to pretend to enjoy the overpriced video with my then Mrs & got a proper bollocking because i fell asleep. All i remember was a chirpy little kid Caprio shouting "this way, this way when the corridoors were filling up & some silly tart singing "Will go on & on & on & on & on!" Blimey did'nt she go on?
That said i think the real story is way more interesting than the boring movies. I know where the water got into the floatation tanks some of the rivets could'nt be fitted the "new way" due to a lack of access so two tough old navvies with sledge hammers had to stand one each side & hammer against eachother before said rivets lost temperature. Given she was built in Ireland & "delivered" to Southampton without a hitch i love the way the Irish rightfully say....
"She was fine when she left here"!!!!

« on: 13 April 2012, 20:34:48 »he will never get what he fully deservesThat'd be too easy for him mate. He needs years of being terrified of sickening attacks from cons who have nothing to lose & he will be surrounded by them. He probably wishes he was dead. I would'nt afford him that luxury & wish him fear & suffering.
There are some things you just don't do. He overstepped the mark. Let's see how hard he is now, rather' bully boy!!

As an ex con...in my younger years!!! I have nothing but respect & admiration for all our emergency services. I've been cut out of the wreckage with my feet bent the wrong way under the seat, the dashboard in my legs & the steering wheel in my ribs. I was lucky enough said services got me out with alot of gas/air. It was all my own silly fault but still not much fun. ALL the emergency services are there for a reason.
As with nursing or anything else we take forgranted we probobly would'nt want to do it ourselves so good on those that do. They don't know what they may have to face each shift but it's more than most of us could face.

« on: 11 April 2012, 20:16:36 »
Evening Dave. Chuffed to hear Holly's perking up a bit bless her. Spoke to Dad again & he was equally as pleased. I told him Holly sent him a lick!!! Dad agrees with the dried food but with his elderly black lab (Beamish) as they get on in years he reccomends you try soaking the dried food in hot water, (sorry if you do already) before serving & then mix it with a third or half a tin of any tinned food Holly likes & agrees with her. This releases a nice foody smell as their appetite can decline with age.
Hope Holly does well if not Dad has said i can PM you his no. & you can speak to him directly. Guy.

Hi Dave. I remember Holly. Just phoned Dad..(retired vet) who owns an elderly black lab dog. Firstly has Holly been spayed? I know it sounds a silly question for an older dog but if she has a womb infection this could be the answer. You say she's drinking water but is she drinking more than usual?
To tempt her to eat try tinned sardines in oil or ox tongue from a good butcher, only the sickest of dogs can resist these.
Tomorrow go to your local chemist & buy some Dio calm tablets & give her 1 tablet twice a day...break them up & sprinkle them on her ox tongue & sardines if she won't swallow the tablets. Has she been x rayed to find any intestinal blockages?
Dad says to let him know so he can help further if need be. Hopes with you both, Guy.

General Discussion Area / Re: Hmm! Will my love of 80's Jags get the better of me???
« on: 10 April 2012, 18:08:51 »
The XJ's are STILL the Daddy of all Jags no matter what anyone says. I had a 3.4 N reg Daimler sovereign many years ago. At the same time a mate had an M reg 5.3 & it was silky smooth. No need to tell you you will be looking at 12/15mpg & have you seen under the bonnet? 4 big SU's & strut braces everywhere. Not the easiest of beasts to work on, they're cheap to buy because they're money pits, have your purchase price again in reserve or don't buy.
That said they drive like nothing else & ooze class, taste & decadence, i adore them & would have another anytime.
Yes they chew fuel but at least you can wear the cost in style on the forecourt by pulling up in between the pumps & filling both tanks, going in to pay & saying pumps 11 & 5!!!!! Myself i'd stick with a nice six potter but that is pretty!!!! Guy.
