Mmm would seem most are quite happy being shafted .... roll on £6-50 to £7 a gallon .... £6-7 pounds for 20-30 miles
As I said in a different thread...'the silent majority'
What can we do about it...we are no voice.
I sign petitions, I write to papers, I write on forums....I even write to my MP, and get patronising replies..
Sooooo.....what is the answer
?

QuoteCan't see what all the bloody fuss is about personally!
My feelings too!
Spontaneous genetic mutations happen naturally (or is that un-naturally?) all the time, so I don`t see cloning as any more prone to mutative susceptibility compared to 'natural' offspring.
Animals produce mono-zygotic twins (as do people), so in that sense they are exact genetic copies of each other: like clones.
I think fear of the unknown and media-fueled hysteria may be holding 'proper' (safe) cloning science back.
Does not that apply to most of the kids nowadays

think i upset him even more when i pointed out my miggy was better equipped than his 5 series bmw.
I think the Omega looks better than all BMW's...old or new
I also have a 1996 Laguna Estate, top class nick and when I look at them both parked outside together, they both look as modern as any car

Good to hear someone got the better of them....I am hitting a brick wall so farQuoteAlright for you to moan about Sky increases.
I am a treasurer of a Social Club which is in a Community Centre, and have been pressurised into getting Sky. A total joke !!!!! They supply on a Public viewing licence, and want £8640 per year from us. Bear in mind, our room is about 50' by 17' max and is open to members only.
Because the Centre has a rateable value of £15,000, they want us to pay on that rating, irrespective of our tiny part within.
So they can poke it where the sun don't shine
They tried this with Sandhurst Sports Club and after a battle it was agreed that it should not be on whole building. Sports Club I think got a big refund

Found his prices a bit high,but does have a good stock of parts,and a valuable source for us lot,especially as our migs become rarer.
I must admit, youv'e hit the nail on the head there, Mark.
Prices are possibly a bit high, but postage was genuine, not like some of the rip off artists. And high speed delivery
I do worry a bit about availability, but as there seems to be a fair number hitting the breakers, I think we'll be all right for the forseeable future. I am hoping to keep my omega for a few years yet
As I said on another thread, a car is only as good as you are prepared to look after it !!!

Agree with TB on abiding by rules they made.
However....if they do revert back to 'team orders', then they should scrap the individual drivers championship.
In any other sport its called 'nobbling', and those found out are usualy thrown out !!!!!!!!! And where money is involved, its usually a visit to court.
Looking at it in another way...do people bet on who will win the race............do they get their money back. I think not !!!! Therefore its 'nobbling'

A woman was having a daytime affair while her husband was at work.
One rainy day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror,
she heard her husband's car pull into the driveway.
"Oh my God - Hurry! Grab your clothes and jump out the window. My
husband's home early!"
"I can't jump out the window. It's raining out there!"
"If my husband catches us in here, he'll kill us both!" she replied.
"He's got a hot temper and a gun, so the rain is the least of your
problems!"
So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out
the window! As he ran down the street in the pouring rain, he quickly
discovered he had run right into the middle of the town's annual
marathon, so he started running along beside the others, about 300 of
them. Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to
blend in as best he could.
After a little while a small group of runners who had been watching
him with some curiosity, jogged closer.
"Do you always run in the nude?" one asked.
"Oh yes!" he replied, gasping in air.. "It feels so wonderfully free!"
Another runner moved along side. "Do you always run carrying your
clothes with you under your arm?"
"Oh, yes" our friend answered breathlessly. "That way I can get
dressed right at the end of the run and get in my car to go home!"
Then a third runner cast his eyes a little lower and asked, "Do you
always wear a condom when you run?"
"Nope...just when it's raining."

Luckily...no squirells here...BUT...as I said in a similar topic...plaqued with Wood Pigeons. and I MEAN plaqued !!!
We are not allowed to keep Homing or Racing pigeons around here....but are not allowed to do anything to get rid of Wood Pigeons...
Now we have the latest conservation exercise ..Red Kites.
People stand in my garden, watching them soaring low level above the roof tops...with the usual... 'Oh, aren't they gorgeous'....which turns to 'Oh..bl***y hell' and then leg it indoors...when half a dozen swoop down into the neighbours back garden, then swoop back up squabbling over a bit of food.
