  1. Yeh, i was gonna email him on Monday anyway.
  2. Hi all, ...Fairly interesting weekend for us. We have lived in the same rented house for the last 7 years, and earlier this year decided to start thinking about buying somewhere. For my initial budget of £200k, there was really very little around that I liked the look of, so we decided to put plans on hold, wait another couple of years (to get a bigger deposit), and then look for a £300k house. However, the house next door-but-one went up for sale yesterday for £200k, and it's the corner plot in a nice area, with a bug piece of land. I've spoken to the owner and we are extremely tempted, but my problem is this: The house as it stands is the same size as where we are now but we wanted to take a step up the ladder. It will take me probably 6-10 years to save up the £50k needed for an extension. However i could simply go out and buy the £300k house instead, and be in the bigger house relatively quickly. So what are my options to raise £50k for an extension? The cost of mortgage/repayments is not the issue, it's the speed at which i can raise the money. i'm assuming the options are only Mortgage or Personal Loan, but i dont know if either can actually be done in the real world? Does anyone have any experience?
  3. My brother told me about this a few weeks ago.... they do it in Asda stores. We might be getting one at the weekend. £60 apparently. EDIT, actually, just found out they're only £40.
  4. No, i cant shift it. Brought on by too much booze in Manchester last weekend I think.
  5. Nothing much to update as i've only spent about a couple of hours working on the car in the last 2 weeks, but I took the front grill/bumper of yesterday. Ugly lucking thing, init?
  6. Love the interior colour. Hope reliability is good for you. I've had a few of these and wouldnt have another.
  7. Man, imagine if that would have been mercedes. That would have made for one of the most exciting races in history!
  8. So im an hour into GTA V and i've not noticed any difference yet
  9. Sweeeet. i've just bought it for £42 in Tesco.
  10. That looks badass. Glad Pimm's wheels went to a good home.
  11. I did have an impact wrench on mine... until i bought one last night online
  12. I disagree, i think that is a perfectly fair sentence. 8 months is nothing, and he'll be out in 4, or less. The danger of this individual is his complete lack of judgement, and the 'premeditated' nature of what he did. The difference with violent crimes being referred to, in my opinion, is that these are all subjective. They can be instant, emotionally charged reactions, where alcohol is often involved, which i think can go some way to explaining the leniency. Compare that against a premeditated attack on someone and the sentence will undoubtedly be longer.
  13. Looks like great progress from last week mate! I've done next to nothing with mine this weekend. All day session in Manchester yesterday, and all day trying to recover from a horrific hangover today. Actually, through bleary eyes my brother and I had another look at the starter.... he still thinks its a battery problem. Dont suppose you've got a drop tester have you? I dont fancy buying a new battery to find out for sure...!
  14. Ammunition is certainly cool. For me, my wife found an earing under the passenger seat of my first zed a few months after i bought the car (was nothing to do with me, honest ). Other than that, just lots of CD's.
  15. In the last few weeks i've bought the charger (really is a good one), car cover, and an inspection lamp.
  16. From Reddit ...and if it wasn't double-points Brief thought: Rosberg winning is far more conceivable, a priori, than: Raikkonen winning in 2007 Vettel winning in 2010 Hamilton being outside the ****ing points going into the last lap in 2008. Be warned: mad @*!# goes down in title deciders
  17. Holy F**K! Pulled Pork for me too, although i ask for them to leave out the rice, as it usually results in even more pork inside!
  18. Oops, does it? I have that every time i go. (and i mean, it's literally about 60 yards from my house).
  19. Christian Horner and Geri Halliwell are engaged. http://news.sky.com/story/1370993/geri-halliwell-engaged-to-f1-team-boss-horner
  20. Nope, I sold mine to member Spatt on here last year, i'm zedless nowadays. Spatt lives somewhere in Manchester so it could well have been him.
