  1. I dont think that will get a mention again But even Motogp as been a bit boring at times, the race in Qatar springs to mind.
  2. Not as gorgeous as Sea the stars That horse is worth more than 1300 370z's
  3. On making F1 a very boring spectacle I have been watching and going to F1 for over 25 years and yesterday i just gave up watching after 15 minutes yesterday As much as i like to see British success i would like excitement put into the mix as well. So the lack of aerodynamic aids and the introduction of kers was supposed to promote closer racing and overtaking? Last year was one of the best and exciting seasons in recent years (apart from the race fixing for ferrari) with 5 different manufacturers winning and a very dramatic last race. This season is over before it as started. Just wish the FIA had left the rules alone in stead of the constant meddling every 12 months.

  5. Not wanting to throw a spanner in the works, but commercial energgy agreements differ MASSIVELY from domestic gas/electricity agreements. Most large gas agreements carry what is known as "take or pay clauses". These vary in their thresholds, but 80/120 is not uncommon. What this means is that the site is contracted to use a minimum of 80% and a maximum of 120% of its nominated AQ (annual quantity). In short, the supplier reserves the right to charge the site for 80% of its annual quantity regardless of its usage. i.e. at £80k per month, thats a minimum £768k for the year regardless of whether the site uses it or not. Some suppliers will reconcile this on a monthly basis with an average daily load calculation, some will reconcile it at the end of the year, so clients may not be aware its coming. The bad news is that if its reconciled at the end of the year, there would be a massive outstanding balance on the account come contract renewal time, if this cannot be cleared in one payment, then at contract renewal the current supplier would not allow the transfer to another provider. Effectively they would then have the company over a barrel with regard to its next contract price. If the company is considering using the "savings" from simply switching off the gas to continue paying staff, I would be making sure they know the detail within their supply agreement. I know of two suppliers that will contract with no minimum consumption level, one of those will only do it when pushed and given assurances of the load, the other is not a well known company, and would perhaps not take on the risk of a construction related business with such a large AQ anyway. One thing to remember Chris we have 27 sites in the UK that use a similar amount each month. We also have a team that work for the company that buy gas and electricity on a daily basis And in recent years sometimes one months gas usage as been as much as £250k for one site alone.
  6. As bad as the Citreon Saxo i followed the other week with 4 3" diameter exhaust tail pipes
  7. The only problem is that we have lying scroungers leading and running the country who are not setting a very good example to the rest of us. And mp's are stealing of us claiming bogus expenses then claiming it was a mistake that they scrounged £13k on mortgage interest of us. And not to mention bankers who pay each other millions of pounds in bonus's to **** the country up.
  8. I will email her Rob to try and find out.
  9. Think he needs a HKS speed defender about £150 iirc.
