  1. It’s the same old arguments again, isn’t it? Evil money grabbing Tories trying to line their pockets and their mates’ pockets vs stupid magic money tree Labour who will bankrupt the lot of us again and put us back to the stone ages. Here’s the truth: Neither are correct. Vote Tory and you’ll end up with a very quick (possibly Hard) Brexit, whatever your views on that, and promises to spend more on the NHS and police that won’t really make a difference as they both need 100x more than is being offered. The whole selling the NHS to the US is never going to happen as it’s a complete vote-loser by the millions, no different to legalising cannabis for example. Vote Labour and you’ll end up with Brexit being delayed for at least a year most likely, and with another angry referendum to take place (again, not saying that’s a bad thing). You’ll get promises to fix the NHS and policing that won’t happen as they both need bucket loads more than is available. You’ll get other promises to nationalise things or give free internets to everyone that won’t happen in the next term as Brexit will be the priority and there’s not enough money to do it all. Neither party will wreck the country, neither will magically fix everything. There’s not enough time or money to do any of what is being promised, not with Brexit in the way. I hate to say it, but until we get that sorted this country cannot move on, so ignore everything else and simply vote for which way you want that to go. Either Labour for the opportunity to reverse the decision and stay, or Tory to get it over and done with. Both have their merits, btw.
  2. Because if they didn’t make cuts we’d have been utterly screwed, way more than what we are. Don’t forget I work in an industry directly affected by those cuts now, and would directly benefit from the magic money tree promises that Labour are offering. Maybe they would only promise to put us back to nearly where we were officer-wise, but that’s surely a good thing regardless of historical staffing levels? Voting Tory or Labour shouldn’t ever be a regional thing, and neither should it be a “well I’ve always voted that way like my parents”. That’s the biggest issue affecting politics, more than anything else. I admire people who will vote for those that offer them what they actually need and change sides as required, that’s how it should be.
  3. I think the biggest issue is people taking such utterly polar viewpoints. Let’s be honest, there’s some great policies by all the parties, but no one will ever admit that once they’ve chosen a side.
  4. He was too sensible, apparently.

    Well now I have no idea what to make of you at all, tbh. I mean you didn’t even write chav, so I’m totally lost.

    Laid. You mean laid. Bruv just reminds of the guys I look after at work

    Ffs how many bloody threads do we need on this?! It’s all utter bullsh*t right now anyway, it’s no more real than me saying it’ll be a 12 seat coupe weighing 500kg and having a quad turbo V12 making 74bhp.

    I still maintain we won’t see one for years, if ever.
  9. But how do you really feel? Tbh i can forgive him most of his obvious character faults, and what he does in his personal life is none of my business. If he can get things done and be forward about what he wants, then that’s enough for me. It’s Corbyn’s biggest flaw, his lack of direction and leadership: He still hasn’t got a grip on anti-semitism in his party, which is equally as bad as any racist overtones that Boris may show.
  10. Ironically if Corbyn could hold off from his magic money tree giveaways which are just nonsense, I could be persuaded to vote for Labour again. He’d have to ditch Abbott first though, and McDonnell too really. As it stands, and for the way Boris has tried to bring Brexit to an end at long last, I’ll be voting Tory. Tbh all the other guff about taxes and the NHS and education and whatever means nothing to me really this time around, it’s all about getting out of the EU now for me personally.
  11. But you can lock a baby in the boot, or in a kitchen cupboard. Or so I heard, anyway. Ahem.
  12. Why do you think I got divorced this year? No wife, quiet life.
  13. It’s like a Chinese copy of a Model X. In the same way you see those cheap Chinese copies of a FFRR or an F-Pace, and you wonder how they don’t get sued.

    Ferrari Roma....

    I can forgive an F12 for some of its looks simply because of the way it drives and that noise from inside the cabin is to die for! I like the Roma, but it’s a bit generic externally. Not that that’s always a bad thing, but this could be an Aston or a Jag as others have said quite easily. Interior cockpit design is tremendous though, much better than the usual Ferrari fare.
  15. Can’t be that, she’d be too busy chewing on the keyboard.
  16. She has my ears, poor little sod
  17. Mila-Andie Janis Mulloy-Morgan, born 10-11-19 at 15:39 weighing 6lb 2oz Not a straightforward birth by any means, but we got there in the end. Now to start planning her future karting career...!

  19. If your issue is not being able to pass an MOT with the new cats in place, you have two options: 1. Get the cats red hot before attempting the emissions test, or; 2. Put the stock cats back on for the test. Hi-flo cats are well known for not passing MOTs sadly. Ignore a remap just to pass, these are your two choices.
  20. Dry as a nun’s chuff
  21. Been at the hospital all day, nothing happening so far. Bloody kid.
  22. Because right now Brexit will affect us all more dramatically in the near future than anything else. It’s critical, and I think that it’s only maybe in the last few months that it’s starting to sink in with the population.
  23. Don't have a dash cam in the MX-5 sadly. God bless the little car though when it's pouring with rain, I slowed to 30mph and whacked the manual roof up quickly to stop getting wet: Mark had to stop the Lambo, put the brakes on and wait like a berk as the auto roof did its thing in about 15 secs He got drenched!
  24. All about the driver tbh, and on UK roads it really doesn't make much of a difference if you're in a 160bhp MX5 or a 500bhp Gallardo: Just ask my best mate from our Wales trip the other weekend... On a twisty track like they used above, there's never going to be much in it. Buy a car because it's fun and you want it, not because you win a p*ssing contest over which is faster.
  25. Apparently this was the one time when even budget rubber would've done the job!
