  1. I have no love for her at all, but if we’re going to start assessing MPs (on any side) by their competence, there’s not many that would cut the mustard. She’s only got her constituents to satisfy and, for reasons unknown, they keep her in a job. Ministers on the other hand, the likes of Grayling, are not only ‘stealing a living’ as you rightly point out, but are much worse than that, he actively wasted MILLIONS from the coffers. Which makes Abbott’s wasted salary seem like very small potatoes indeed.
  2. Can’t tell if this is ironic or not, given, you know, things like Chris Grayling buying ferry time from people with no ferries, or even the trump card... A man who is so bad at making mistakes it regularly costs him his job
  3. I’m actually rather enjoying the use of negative space.
  4. The clever bit is not the banana, it’s getting yourself into a position where your banana is something someone wants to pay $120k for.
  5. I think unpopular is different to unelectable. Trump is totally unelectable, inasmuch as he has no diplomatic skills, no understanding of any kind of economics, none of the law, none of the damage his divisive rhetoric causes to society as a whole or even basic politking. None of these things stopped him being popular.
  6. The newspapers said so. Derrrrrrr!!!!
  7. Yeah, me neither. Apparently it’s not as important as 5G infrastructure!
  8. Had you heard there was anything wrong with it, before it was sold?
  9. It’s insidious, whomever starts it, it doesn’t matter, the others will all have to copy to keep up. We all watched with our own eyes the banks fu** the economy, a few years after that, the story is that EU migrants did all the damage. Demonstrable lies, but they stuck because certain people just wanted it to be true. Once there are just two or three groups of people screaming at each other, with no possibility of compromise on anything, no common ground at all, anyone can say anything, because it’s become about goodies and baddies, not ideas or facts.
  10. He’ll literally say anything to anyone at anytime. Unless you ask how many kids he’s got.
  11. Logic seems to be in short supply.
  12. I got one of these, it’s pretty hardcore. https://www.drapertools.com/product/13785/20L-1250W-230V-Wet-and-Dry-Vacuum-Cleaner-with-Stainless-Steel-Tank Not many frills and takes a fair amount of abuse (small rubble, liquid, etc).
  13. I’m one of those who likes to give him a little stick, he doesn’t mind the sound of his own voice, but I do love Wheeler Dealers and am very grateful for what the show’s taught me and entertained me with. Interesting to hear how much it takes to put episodes together. Thanks for sharing it, well worth a watch. You did well to get any questions in at all mate!
  14. Glorious that mate. How’s the sound?
  15. Good video, although he bangs on a bit, turns out I’m probably over applying on these. I buy fewer products than ever these days, I don’t have the time to try so many and stick to my favourites, and Gyeon sees a fair bit of my detailing spend. I’d defo give TW a shot at that price though if I see it on the shelf.
  16. It's been a while since it's been easy to pick the option you like, instead of the one you dislike the least. Across the whole political spectrum.
  17. You could apply the same logic to austerity, that is having and has already had impact on people's lives, more so even than Brexit. Yet it struggles for screen time and column inches compared to Brexit because it's not as sensational, divisive and it only effects a portion of society that major media outlets are not especially interested in courting.
  18. In my opinion, the Z is a chunk quicker (stock v stock) in the real world; it’s all bags of torque in most gears and tons of grip, any proper circuit (with decent straights) would see the Zed stretch its legs. You probably shouldn’t be driving the Toybaru, at the point where it becomes a real pleasure to drive, on the highway (unless its on the Primacies!) whereas the Zed gave me more smiles per mile just GT’ing around in a bit more comfort, stretching its legs across European motorways. In the Alps though, I was pleased to be in the BRZ. I love it because its so nimble and neutral and you can pedal it pretty hard on a B road without really worrying about your licence. The seats are great and the driving position is perfection. But the BRZ really does need a few mods to bring it to life though (better rubber, headers, exhaust, remap), where as the Zed is really nice right out of the box and has more presence. I did some drift taster stuff in the Zed and once you get a feel for the bulk, its still incredibly sharp even with a few extra KGs. I’ve been very lucky to own them both. It’s a real personal preference thing, I’d recommend both to anyone, so long as you drove each one before choosing. The Zed community can’t be beaten though
  19. I know it’s a sign of getting old but can anyone remember the mid/late 90s and early 00s The music was great, football was at its peak balance between skill and still having proper tackling, cars were getting out of the awful 80s styles with loads of cool jap stuff, movies were great and had actual film footage in amongst CGI, and you might not like the government of the day but they got some stuff actually done and weren’t overtly evil and did more than one thing at a time...
  20. You just had to do it... Can someone just give him a warning now and lock the thread? Save a lot of effort in the long run!
  21. So are they make their margin from the person at fault’s insurance company, not from the policy holder? If so, I don’t have much love generally for claims management companies (motoring or otherwise), profiteering is rife when it comes to the bill for assigned blame. It’s a lazy assumption by me, but I can’t see them doing anything other than ballooning the value of claims to make their end. I don’t know exactly when we stopped expecting the insurer to sort out insurance claims...
  22. Never RainX This is good in my experience https://waxandshine.co.uk/shop?keywords=Glass&olsPage=products%2Fg1-clearvision-smart-glass I’d like to try this one next https://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/gyeon-q2-view
