Stepping away from what constitutes democracy. Does anyone know what happens to UKIP after the referendum? I mean they are a single policy entity, even its name reflects it's one idea. So, if the people vote to leave, they have no raison d'etre, we will be independent, thus achieving their one policy. And if the people vote to stay, their one policy will have been overwhelmingly rejected by the people and they'll have no mandate.

Indeed, but not as expensive as getting it wrong, so I chickened out and went safe

Got my dome ones from Evo-r when I was ordering some other goodies. Expensive for LEDs but they look decent. http://www.evo-r.net/product/LED-DOME/ Be super careful with the dome lights, very easy to short with some LEDs and then you've got a BCM issue to solve.

Nice work, you've really gone for iron the engine bay plastics

Sold - thread locked

Provisionally sold.

Yeah. PM inbound.

I picked up 30 of these 187x265mm tiles for the doors and boot to cut out some road noise and rattles from trim plastics. I used 15 today, so I got 15 left which is enough to do front doors, sub enclosure and a chunk of the boot's metal surfaces. Looking for £15 incl. postage for the remaining 15 tiles. They're easy as pie to work with and stick well and can be cut with scissors. Product info here: http://www.silentcoa...-2mm-mat-sample Not for hardcore, 5 of them weigh about 1kg!

Got to spend a few hours with her today, first job up dealing with some surface rust on the bonnet latch. It's been irritating me for a while, some wet and dry, kurust and stonechip sorted it out. The masking was deliberately slack, so I could get some paint on the opening's lip. This was followed by some clay bar work to remove overspray from passenger headlamp and bumper Next up was adding some weight, she's just too dam light So a couple of kilos of silent coat went into the doors, boot and some bits of trim to try and dial down a little road noise and cut out rattles and resonating plastics. Whilst the door cards were off I replaced the white speaker grille cloth (which was getting dirty) with some red. This matches my kicks, air freshener and even the stitching on my refurbished wheels. Well pleased All in all a fun day taking her to bits, didn't even snap a trim clip

D'oh! I meant the other end!

No one?

Meh, marmite just doesn't really bother me either way.

You might want to speed things up and PM traders rather than wait to be approached.

If you won't engage in constituencies where you're not eligible to vote, then it's your own fault democracy isn't working.

Of the 54 commonwealth nations, only one isn't a former colony, so we've been at war with nearly all of them too

Oooh this is a leading question, should be fun. I voted against Nick Griffin (for Green) and he lost his seat. Democracy in action!

Two of my colleagues had Leafs (Leaves?) through thier Limited companies, both leased, both as the BIK was nil and the costs were peanuts for commuting, shopping and dropping kids at school. They both rated the Leaf in terms of drive and place to be and the pre-heating app etc. One of them is just a person who wanted a cheap car, the other is reformed biker, owner of a Eunos and into his motors. He's just got a new one, the other went back to ICE as his commute went from 10 miles to 120. Go for a spin in one, I think they even do a two day test drive.

Classic bonnet spider

You do, there are European elections you can vote in. This idea that unelected beaurocats pass policy is one of the great myths. The commission write policy, but elected people vote on it.

Nice work, what a ledge

Done!

Read an article the other day about the amount of power the Facebook app draws from your iPhone/iPad. The nub of it was that the app can be rather busy in the background and this in turn can impact battery life. Without going into full detail of the jobs it is running in the background (some you can turn off like location, some you can't like clipboard scanning, photo scanning, etc) they did a vaguely scientific test over a week where they used Facebook via Safari instead of the app. They found batteries were on average 15% healthier if the app was not used. That's quite a chunk. Obviously this will vary by how heavily you use Facebook but if you're struggling with battery life suggest: - double tapping the home key - swiping the Facebook app away - use Facebook via Safari for a few days - see if there's a difference to you There's no need to delete the app, IMO, just make sure you've properly closed it, not just pushed it to the background. I've been doing it for 3 days now and reckon there's about 10% in it and I can't say Facebook in Safari is particularly harder to use than the app itself. I am now slightly curious as to what's it doing in the background that isn't configurable to drain so much juice...

DO IT!

Start one up. I'm sure a thread like that would be well subscribed and a bit different.
