.... Repost? ------------------------ To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II: In light of your immediate failure to financially manage yourselves and also in recent years your tendency to elect incompetent Presidents of the USA and therefore not able to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.) Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas , which she does not fancy). Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated sometime next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: 1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.'Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary'). (I love that one) Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.' ' (I love that one too) 3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. 4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse. 5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. 6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour. 7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.) 8.You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar. 9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. New Zealand beer is also acceptable, as New Zealand is pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion. 10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater. 11. You will cease playing American football. There are only two kinds of proper football; one you call soccer, and rugby (dominated by the New Zealanders). Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies). 12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America . Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the Australians (World dominators) first to take the sting out of their deliveries. 13. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad. 14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776). 15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season. God Save the Queen!

it was available from 6pm (10am PDT) I managed to get it downloaded on the second attempt at around 7pm, but failed to update on 3 seperate attempts at the point where it tried to connect to the iTunes store to verify. Just about to attempt attempt 4. How ? Tam went onto iTunes, did the "check for updates" on her phone and on the iPad and nothing.... Do you have to do it manually?

Tinfoil hat brigade... classic!
-
Tried to get the 5 for my iPad and iPhone last night... wasn't even available through iTunes! Have they taken it down due to high demand?
-
Windscreen or lights not working? (or both?)

I know I am only adjusting the pedal. but that "kind of" adjusts the bite too. Need to go for a proper drive in her really, to see what difference it has made. Just coming up to 80,000 miles, so she may be due a new clutch anyway. Specially if I do the decat-plenum spacer and rev-up I am planning next year. £1200 isn't too crazy. I know a few mechanic bods who I am sure can help me out. Might PM Al just to check on the price of a clutch anyway
-
I find the former is a result of the latter.
-
I do think the Fly-eyes are legal, because they let enough light through... due to them being lots of little holes, rather than a solid film. and I also think they look OK... (for shows) But then again I completely agree with Ekona about the visibility issue.
-
Great guide... One thing to add, I adjusted the clutch sensor for the cruise control, rather than adding on a spacer. And the bold for it is a 14mm, not 12mm. Just so no-one else has to get in and out of the car as many times as I had to this morning And to get to it you really need to take of the ECU to get to this 14mm bolt, which is three 10mm bolts. Adjusted pretty easily, I have hardly ANY thread left on the bolt side now and the bite is STILL high up. So I think it may be time for a new clutch...!!!!

How can all these Z's not be on here lol... Right!

got my cards this morning.. cheers! -
Has anyone actually tried Siri yet? I kinda think it sounds pointless myself. (Yes, sitting here surrounded with an iPad, iPhone, iMac 24" and Macbook Pro... I am an Apple lover!)
-
Nope... still the old one mate...
-
Very cool.... The last 22seconds for anything specific?
-
I thought everyone on this forum was grown up enough for things like this to never happen? Saying that, I suppose insurance companies only check the age on your driving licence, not peoples mental age.
-
HA HA ... that sounds like a plan!
-
I see what you are saying... but till I DO get a new clutch... this will help me sort term. Done the usual clutch slipping tests and they it seems fine. Will try to alter it and wait till it starts slipping before I get it checked in for a new one.
