Returning to the Nissan family, after a brief absence...

I quite like them... I'll get my coat. -
Have a quick look here, I got a short vid of my noise/knock which has been forum diagnosed as bananabar ball, rather then bananabar bush. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/96426-name-my-knock-rattle/

Congrats buddy. Forum stag in Vegas yeah???

Stuff like this boils my ****! I bet you'd be 'interested' if the state made you pay 60% income tax, doubled the cost of petrol and made you pray three times a day. Politics impacts everything. You don't think these idiots really run the country do you? All this parliament stuff is just a public front, so I doubt whoever you vote for, really makes much difference. It's all here, in So I Married An Axe Murderer. The Pentaveret

Well people will certainly get their wish as the whole welfare system is getting a shake up, Universal Credit, the bill is an alleged £12.8 billion (against a £2 billion budget), which funnily enough won't be confirmed until after the election result comes in. They're not even April's Fools figures

Tried this, drop links were solid as a rock. Thanks

Probably because it's a bit of a myth they come here to sponge. Immigrants to the UK since 2000 have made a "substantial" contribution to public finances, a report says. The study by University College London said recent immigrants were less likely to claim benefits and live in social housing than people born in Britain. The authors said rather than being a "drain", their contribution had been "remarkably strong". The government said it was right to have strict rules in place to help protect the benefits system. Immigrants who arrived after 1999 were 45% less likely to receive state benefits or tax credits than UK natives in the period 2000-2011, according to the report by Prof Christian Dustmann and Dr Tommaso Frattini from UCL's Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration. They were also 3% less likely to live in social housing. "These differences are partly explainable by immigrants' more favourable age-gender composition. However, even when compared to natives with the same age, gender composition, and education, recent immigrants are still 21% less likely than natives to receive benefits," the authors say. 'Highly-educated immigrants' Those from the European Economic Area (EEA - the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) had made a particularly positive contribution in the decade up to 2011, contributing 34% more in taxes than they received in benefits. "Given this evidence, claims about 'benefit tourism' by EEA immigrants seem to be disconnected from reality. Immigrants from outside the EEA contributed 2% more in taxes than they received in the same period, the report showed. Over the same period, British people paid 11% less in tax than they received. So what your saying Is, if the immigrants who dont work and claim benefits werent here, we would be even better off Check So we all agree, if your an immigrant and work and pay into the system, fill your boots, if your not, no thanks, we dont want you basically just about averaging out the hard working ones What I'm saying is the UK is in better position with immigration than it is without. If you wanted to examine how we "would be even better off Check " you can throw in not just the benefit claimaint immigrants, but also the uk claimants of benefits, disabled people, pensioners, the terminally ill - hell they all cost a fortune so we'd be "better off" without them. Obviously that's Ionly if you only count "better off" in money.

The article is about tax income derived from immigrants versus benefits they recieve, so it really doesn't matter what they do with their disposable income, after tax, they still generate income into the treasury. Obviously as they are shape shifting immigrants they don't have to buy food, pay for utilities, pay rent, pay for transport or any of the other things we all have to spend money on to live and work, so they "don't spend much of thier earnings in the uk, they send it home to where ever". Also, it's based on verifiable stats, not from the WW book of anecdotes and superstitions

Apparently the presenters have a different contract to cover the live shows, so they can go ahead but may have to be renamed that's all. Imagine all the merchandise that now can't be sold at the event or can it? I couldn't find TG butt plugs on line, so they've already been pulled from stockists. All that was left was:

Jobseekers allowance is actually rather far down the list of benefit bills, but don't tell the Mail or the Tories. It's those laxy pensioners who cost us all a fortune, sitting around watching cash in the attic, eating scones and doing scratch cards

It doesn't say much about where we've come since we last stood up against the persecution of minorities. I find it frustrating the one policy approach not only attracts people, it also attracts the media. So instead of talking about the creeping privitasion of the NHS or foodbanks or energy production or the roads or constant state interference in education, everyone seemingly gets distracted wondering if whether 3000 Eastern Europeans (in pot of 6 billion people) moving from place X to place Y are going to collapse the benefit system. The poor buggers have only come here to do jobs the indigenous population don't want, they'll probably go home once they realise how crap the weather is Something which costs a few million quid can be used to distract from the billions being diverted into pockets of companies who don't even feel the need to pay tax in the UK! But what can you do, the right always gets attention in a difficult economic climate, as it's something politicians (of all parties) can wave in front of the electorate to distract them from the really big stuff.

Great shipment to receive! Do you mind if I ask where you ordered the blue decals from? -
You forgot Golden Gun, that's his best one! Christopher Lee is brilliant and so is Nik Nak too. Love this bit from the Trip where they do some Bond and Scaramanga.

So it is, couldn't see on my phone. Looks the shizzle.

That black does look nice Payco :thunbs: Is it painted black or as it comes?

I was kinda hoping they might bring Dalton back, but as a baddy

My commute is only about 10 miles so MPG isn't a big deal, but obviously if that all of a sudden became 60 miles each way, I'd drive the Zed a lot more

You rang I think mine is a Veilside V3 replica, but it's not far from the Mines as that was the only other one I considered. Looks like this in body colour, which is very much how I prefer it.

Moooove along, nothing to see here.
