  1. I'd be happy with those figures. Not often you see a Z with 650hp.

    Hi, I'm surprised we wouldn't quote you. Did we give you a reason why? Regards, Dan. Horsepower. My Focus is insured under you at the moment though. 800 quid.
  3. I asked a Polish guy (still friends with him 9 years later) what he thought of England. He thought our women were ugly, English men were stupid, our food disgusting, our housing below standard and that our weather was the worst he'd ever seen. We laughed about it. I said why not go home? In the context of if he hated it so much. He was saving for, and has since, bought a house in Poland. He was here alone, his wife and child back home. It's admirable that he could stay for so long in sub standard living conditions and without his family. I miss him. We used to have a good belly laugh regularly and hit the gym together at 6am every morning.
  4. I may sell this once I've completed all the modifications and fitted all the parts in the list on previous pages.
  5. I just want to be happy. And to see happy people. Regardless of nationality, age, sex (yes please) and so forth. I think of more of us were happy we wouldn't care about such things. Too much time and misery on our hands.
  6. It is a shame. I agree. The people I mention are not overly educated or prepared to dig for information and make an informed opinion. So they act on the information they have to hand.
  7. Nicely put TT. All perfectly fair and reasoned. But some people will still call you a swivel-eyed racist... But this is the basic economics of the world and has nothing to do with being in the EU. Cost of living and earning differs by country, as we are near the top of the economic tree, there is a higher salary expectation. There are other countries that pay higher salaries on average such as Denmark but that's also reflected in their cost of living (from memory minimum tax payments are 50%). My fear as stated a few times before is that people are voting leave because they see immigrants on the street and associate blame to them for various issues. The issues at hand are so much bigger than that, I get that I am not living in Rochdale so not in amongst it, but if we do leave, and the theoretical scenario happens where things do not work out great and uncertainty causes job losses and an increase in cost of living can you say hand on heart that is worth it for a chance to implement a points based immigration plan? If so then fair play you are thinking through your Leave vote... More than anything I was trying to put across why certain demographics would vote out given the information and experiences they have. Rochdale being one example since it had recieved a hugely disproportionate amount of asylum seekers in comparison with other places. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2857839/Town-Rochdale-asylum-seekers-South-East-England.html I can understand why someone would accuse me of being a swivel eyed racist while I'm trying to make a point about immigration and asylum seekers. It's an easy card to throw down that often negates all argument. Usually those people are from places unaffected by the topic. But again, the only point I'm trying to make is that, if you're from an area where it's a huge topic amongst indigenous population then you're going to have an overwhelmingly biased opinion. You can't just ignore them on the basis of racism and have done with it. It's like "Bang. There you go, deal with it and not a word back, ok?" People will have something to say and they're not all racists or xenophobes.
  8. I think it depends where you're from and what class you're from and how xenophobic you are. I really wish we were all the same. A global village completely united with equal opportunities in life and no Borders. Take Rochdale for example, which is where I uses to live. It has seen a huge amount of immigrants arrive. Rochdale has a lot of older generation there who have seen the towns decline over the decades from the booming mill town it was in the 50's and 60's to scruffy and neglected dumping ground it's become for African and Eastern Europeans who have nothing in common with the people who've lived there their whole lives. These people have little to no education and don't or won't see the bigger picture. They just see their towns changing. Crime increase, (not through immigrants) and finding their new neighbours don't even speak the same language. It leads to fear and animosity. They're going to vote to leave. You can understand their decision based on the information THEY have. Of course there is sooooooo much more to it. When I was younger, as a school leaver and a few years after, I worked at a littlewoods distribution centre. It was huge and employed many many young people and older people alike from the area. I signed on with an employment agency and started there the next day and went on to get a permanent job there. Things like that are ancient history now. Going to an agency and being in work the next day. They're inundated with foreign workers who are usually skilled and educated people back in their home country yet earn much more here in a factory. They're I'm no way to blame. You or I would do the same thing. I remember every summer we'd get loads of college and uni kids in for the summer holidays or to start their first job after leaving school. It was nice to see all the new faces. I'd make lots of friends. And of course lots of pretty young ladies! Again, a thing of the past. Walking into a factory job after school or just earning a bit of money over the holidays. There's now very stiff competition over these jobs with ever increasing lists of 'must haves' from the employers. A lot now expect you to have a full licence, a stacker licence, welding experience etc. None of which a 17 or 18 year old from this country will have. That's quite sad for the youth of this country. I keep reading and hearing that our youth refuse do that kind of work. Maybe some will refuse it but I haven't witnessed that kind of attitude in any significant numbers. They want to work and earn some money. Are there any places in Europe that our youngsters can migrate to, even temporarily and earn 2/3 and 4 times what they earn here doing the same thing? I don't know if there are? I'd genuinely like to know. If so, perhaps our young people can all get groups of 10 or so friends, share a 4 bed house and each pay a tenth of the rent and bills which make it so affordable to do, all while earning a huge wage in comparison to here. They can shop cheaply at the local "English shop" too. What an adventure and a huge wage at the end of it. Not to mention the completely free healthcare we'd get in their country I know this is what a huge majority of eastern europeans do here. I know this as I have made a lot of EU friends who have told me they pay 30 or 40 quid a month in rent and next to nothing for household bills. I dated a Hungarian girl for a year or so and she was doing that very thing, as were her 8 housemates. The she was gorgeous too. So nice and gentle natured and really loving, polite and appreciative. Awesome figure as well Ahh Kinga, the one that got away Anyone would jump at the chance to earn lots of money and practically no overheads. I would, definitely. See a different country and their customs and traditions and make lots of new friends and money. What an adventure. Waffling a bit there, sorry. But we as indigenous Brits are paying the bills alone or with their partner. So we've got bills split by one or two or are single and paying alone. Much more expensive for the British. Anyway. As I've said, no one is to blame as we'd do the exact same thing. The point I'm trying to make is that being in the EU allows for them to do that here and technically speaking it allows for us to do the same thing in a different country. Are there any other countries that will pay us as Brits 4x the wage we get here? I really hope I haven't offended anyone. I take everyone equally and on face values I love you all equally
  9. Yep. Because my head is perfectly balanced and clear. No fog whatsoever lol.
  10. Always been slow on Android.
  11. I miss old, old top gear. Quentin Wilson and Tiff Needel and facts and figures. Random locations in England on a rainy day. I know to a huge proportion that appealed less. But I loved it. Was sort of like Wheeler Dealers without Mike Brewer. Just facts and figures and full breakdown. Just watching first episode of this new one. Not convinced so far.
  12. More teeth though.
  13. Many varying opinions. Wildly differing. I will have to move on if I'm unhappy.
  14. By heck. Bottom two paragraphs a bit heavy. I have no issues with trust. I trust her completely. We both have a relationship where we're always in touch. She expects the same of me. Not once have I said or indicares i don't trust her. The part that annoys me is she expects to know where and how I am at all times. She flies 1000's of miles away, tells me it's like Syria then dosent txt me for 14 hours. Worry central. And I've never cheated so you can stick that allegation.
  15. To me it's like bodybuilding. Roids vs non roids. Turbo vs NA. "I achieved mine naturally" "Yes but I'm twice the size and twice as strong in half the time"
  16. My sources? Living life under Politicians past and present.

  19. Oh man. I'd LOVE to. But all my mates are currently doing the baby thing and look down their noses at me for being immature. Often I get "Well maybe you should grow up, Gareth" Maybe you should get some better friends, Gareth. I do try but it's hard in your mid 30's.
  20. My mates are all besotted with their bambinos. Completely changed. Their wives/gf's go out though lol. I get berated if I go round and I'm talking a tad too loud. Dave cradles his 2 year old in his arms the whole night just looking down at her. I'm like "Dave. Dave. Dave.....DAVE"
  21. My Scorpion is quiet unless I hoof it. It's de-cat too. Has a nice sound. But I'm actually looking for louder. I'm a chav, innit.
  22. Oh man. I'd LOVE to. But all my mates are currently doing the baby thing and look down their noses at me for being immature. Often I get "Well maybe you should grow up, Gareth"
