  1. I just tried the ASDA code and it worked today. I used it myself a month ago but picked I picked it up from a thread that was a few years old! You have to enter in by clicking the 'ASDA Key (Optional)' button on the booking details tab (step 4) The code I entered was 1401234567. If that doesn't work the only thing I can think is that is a regional or fitter based discount. I live in Brighton and just selected Halfords as the fitter.
  2. Water doesn't smell as nice I use chemical guys speed wipe.
  3. Not the Cobra - its drone central
  4. Thought this was a comment about the OP's use of highlighted text.
  5. +1 for plastidip. I was looking to do this when I first got my Zed and plastidip was the way I was going to go. If you mess it up it just peels off, so its low risk. I'd imagine vinyl would be tricky as you would usually wrap it around something so the edges were hidden. You couldn't do this on 2 of the sides so I'd imagine they would peel up quickly.
  6. Complete control was the one who used that present box, they showed a clip of it in this weeks episode. I think that victory from last year store should have stood, they looked at the rulebook and noticed no entanglement weapons had been removed from the rules so went with it.
  7. Just watched the first episodes of this years Battlebots - only 1hr 30 minutes long.... probably around 15 minutes of actual battle though. The razor team haven't gone away they've just been competing in America. They were in this weeks Battlebots. This is their new robot Warhead, it splits flames obviously.... and its massive All the new competitors they bigged up were rubbish. The drones just crashed, the exoskeleton controller didn't work and the lidar one was top heavy and kept failing over.
  8. Now Boris has come out and said he always intended us to stay in the single market, which in turn means we will still have to adopt the EU's immigration policy, but as we are not in the EU we won't have a say on said policy. We'll just have to follow it. He probably should have said this before Brexit... I don't see any political party not wanting be in the single market, so don't see immigration will change in anyway post brexit. Lets not forget 70% of MP's would have voted remain and they get to decide how Brexit is actually applied. I wish I could stop thinking about this, but I just feel so sorry for the country. Totally duped!
  9. You guys should check out battlebots (the american version) its just about to start its second season. The 'Tested' you tube channel ran a preview of some of this years contestants last week. http://www.tested.co...016-battlebots/ There was one robot that had a humanoid top part and was controlled by an roboteer wearing an exoskeleton. One with a flame throwing drone that could detach and fly around the arena Anouther with a lidar camera that locked on their weapon to a target and auto fired it when in range. You can probably download last seasons episodes. The one with the mystery present box was hilarious - not going to spoil it though
  10. I was quoted £40 per wheel for standard painted.
  11. If we want to have access to the Free Market whilst being outside of the EU(like Norway) then we have to accept the EU's 4 freedoms - Which include people (i.e. imigration), goods, services and capital. So access to the free market would mean no change to the imgration rules - which is a cornerstone of the leave campaign. The EU's chief exutive has already stated the UK won't have access to the free market if it leaves. There is no appetite in Europe to make the transition easy as they don't want anyone else to leave. Right, so like I said nothing would change. I don't believe the bit about not allowing free trade if we leave - that sounds like big talk to encourage us to stay. Some people talk about trade with the EU as if it's them doing us a favour. It's not - we get goods and they get money (or vice versa). It's mutually beneficial, and they would be shooting themselves in the foot by not allowing a trade agreement. Its not mutually benefical. the UK has alot more to loose, the Uk's trade with the EU compared to the UK's GDP is a lot more than the EU's trade with the UK when compared to the EU's GDP. As I pointed out above the EU would not encourage a 'good deal' with the UK as it would encourage more contires to consider it. And if the UK left and still had access to the freemaket it would not have any say in the terms of the free market.

  13. The majority of the country didn't want the Tories in power.
  14. For a second there, ithought we had a 96 year old 350z owner!
  15. Where did you get that Ofgem figure from? Just interested as I work in Energy Pricing. The average bill on standard variable tariffs is £1100-1200 (depending on payment type) but ~40 % of customers are on cheap fixes which are currently around £750 so the average should be somewhere in between. https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications-and-updates/infographic-bills-prices-and-profits I'm no VAT expert but think most of the VAT goes to HMRC and not the EU. Couldn't find any figures on this though. It sounds like total VAT collected is part of an formula that determines what the UK's total contribution is. The current and previous governments have asked the energy industry to investigate how a VAT rebate would work .I.e charge VAT as normal but then have the government rebate it back to customers. You all received an £12 electricity rebate last year as the government decided to give back some of what that charged for some of the non energy obligations they levy on suppliers. So it is doable within the EU restrictions. If the government really wanted to cut bills they'd remove the social/environmental obligations from bills and recover them in general taxation. These add up to 7.4% of a bill and rising and could be removed without much red tape.
  16. On the same lines could I install bike pedals and a chain in the passanger footwell? Going to need a big chain ring though. No need for batteries... Just some Scotts Oats
  17. Absolutey outstanding argument £30Bn whipped off the FTSE over the last few days. Can you imagine how much it will fall if it actually goes through,
  18. My main feeling on the EU decision is that I know very little but the list of notable people backing remain is pretty impressive and varied. Would all these people be wrong. Its the literally all the people we have choose to make these decsion for us. I don't even think there should a referendum on something so big. The Prime Minister of the UK The leader of the Labour Party The Leader of the Liberal Democrats The Leader of the Green Party The Leader of the Scottish National Party The leader of Plaid Cymru Leader of Sinn Fein Martin Lewis, that money saving dude off the telly The Secretary General of the TUC Unison National Union of Students National Union of Farmers Stephen Hawking Chief Executive of the NHS All living former Prime Ministers of the UK (from both parties) Stephen Hawking Chief Executive of the NHS Director of Europol Secretary General of Nato Church of England Church of Scotland Church of Wales Friends of the Earth Greenpeace Director General of the World Trade Organisation WWF World Bank OECD Governor of the Bank of England International Monetary Fund Institute for Fiscal Studies Confederation of British Industry Leaders/heads of state of every single other member of the EU President of the United States of America President of China Also a brexit vote would probably lead to a Conservative leadership change - A Boris Gove leadership sounds almost as bad as Trump.
  19. Where are you getting the 8.5 billion in Net EU contributions? its around £100m. Even the leave campaign are only quoting £350 million. The EU then rebates £250 million back to the UK.
  20. I got mine from ASDA last week they were £545.19 fitted for all 4. They were fitted today by Setyres. I took an hour to fit then another hour to argue the price as the garage didn't want to honour the price... . Took 3 phone calls to ASDA to get it sorted. ASDA were brilliant about it. The guy behind the desk at the garage though... He needs some anger managment lessons. The ASDA code is 140 then 7 random numbers in the coupon box. Its 10% off all sales
  21. not answering your question but.... Asda tyres have a 10% off voucher, just type 140 then 7 random numbers in the coupon box. I used it earlier this week to bag 4 MPSS inc. install for ~£550
  22. Homologated - that a new word learned for me.
  23. I don't even have a driveway, I just do it on the double yellows outside my house. Its a fairly quiet road though. I use the Kleers portable jetwash. http://www.kleers.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=65&product_id=66 Its not that powerful* and the reservoir just about lasts a wash and a rinse *My shower was out of action this weekend so filled up the kleers with warm water and gaffer tapped the nozzle to the edge of the shower cubicle. Refreshing!
  24. They fitted fine, they don't appear very bright though. Still its a 5 minute job if I ever get pulled up for them.
