No doubt it has to be a vegan burger as well.

Apparently I misheard- It's a MAXIMUM of one burger per week.... Farming of animals for food is a problem, it appears.

Removjng cylinder heads refitting rebuilding etc.Very good.

Although some f****** idiot nicked my shoe.Just grow up jeez.Anyway...!Cant expext to much from a fellow college student.👎

Anyone now reassembling it all...

[Peter Mallett]

I trust you pulled the studs, cleaned the head and block and cleaned and applied threadlock to the studs before putting them back.

Next stop, re set the tappets.

I was impressed by the recommendation that we eat a maximum of half a rasher of bacon per day, and one egg a week.......not at all sure how I've lived as long as I have......


My take on Delta's request for an update is that the one who didn't want to leave but feels duty bound to lead us out has managed to upset enough of her party by being too tough / not tough enough with the EU, has upset the DUP because they haven't got anyone else to be upset with since they and their local opposition are incapable of operating a devolved government (but keep getting paid to not do so), and is generally unpopular since she is largely charmless...so she lost the "deal" vote.


On the other hand, the one who did (and does) want to leave the EU, despite the majority of his party and MPs, and a sizeable proportion of his voters wanting to stay, has tried to make political capital by forcing an election he was going to lose, and failed, and is now p***ing off most of his supporters who thought he was a saint(and also the Lib Dems etc) by steadfastly refusing to contemplate a second referendum, and is also refusing to take part in cross-party discussions to try to work out a way forward on some entirely spurious grounds, hoping to force another "no confidence" vote to get an election, despite the fact that he'd lose that even more heavily since he's alienating the LDs......


The EU on the other hand are steadily coming to the realisation that they've been so obdurate that there is a real possibility of one of their main funders leaving with "No deal", damaging their own economies as much as ours, and are quietly shifting their positions to allow some more flexibility, along with a further kicking of the can down the road....thus raising the interesting possibility of the EU elections in May taking place without any UK participants, despite us still being members, thereby putting into question the EU parliament's legitimacy.


Clear, Iain?



Its almost as if the grown-ups haven't thought this through and have concentrated more on their own aggrandisement than national considerations

Nooooo, how could you possibly think such a thing?

Well, information released by the police have confirmed a number of things. Firstly, the scooter was actually stolen and didn't belong to him.

Secondly, he was excluded from school after he posted the boast that he was involved in drug dealing, and posted pictures of himself waving £50 notes.

Maybe not quite the little angel as claimed by his family?

It was pretty obvious from the start he wasn't the angel he was made out to be so you weren't the only one to think the way you did.
Another one that springs to mind that wasn't the shining light he was made out to be was Stephen Lawrence who was a nasty piece of work and don't get me going about his not so popular (locally) mother who has made a very nice career out of her son's death but of course the truth doesn't always make good press does it.

You're welcome......on another topic, glad to see that you'll be safer in NZ now that they are kicking out our latest chav exports who claimed to be from Liverpool, but at least one of whom when convicted of theft from a service station was revealed to live on a Travellers'site in Leicestershire.


I was also intrigued to read today that due to we Baby Boomers, one in five UK pensioners is now a millionaire..........I realise that those of us who indulge in our motorsport hobbies are probably in the upper quartiles, finance-wise, but a quick check amongst my cohort reveals that this statistic appears to be wildly inaccurate......I guess that's the penalty we pay for living oop North...... (Its worth it! )

Now that doesn't surprise me!
As far as the milionaires thing, I've just checked with my peers and I find a similar answer to you...

You've both missed the point, if we took the motorsport out of our lives we would probably be millionaires. People often say to me, you own horses and race cars, you must be wealthy. No, if we didn't own horses and race cars we would be wealthy

Sadly Tim, apart from the time I spend on here and in front of the TV I took motorsport out of my life years ago (financial was one of the reasons). But I am still skint!

[bauble]

I understood from previous post that Tim was in the haulage business, but horses???

Time to upgrade to a traction engine Tim.

[Gerard C]

Thanks to you all, our gov' had to find 30 M in a hurry "just in case". They will be used to improve the situation at harbors, train stations and airports. Airports? Last time I went to England, my passeport was checked five times. Last time I went to Geneva it was six, may be because I made profit of a special offer, ask five and get one free!
I know our politicians learn from this forum. Time for me to tell them one of my York's name is Argo. Why Argo? Because Ar-Go-F..k-Yourself!

Vegans want to see most animals slaughtered, especially anything to do with farm animals, so that they can talk about raising and murdering more plants.

[Gerard C]

At least some French are learning English! But when it comes to some words like "hard Brexit", our politicians should improve their understanding. May I say very disrespectfully to those non-gentlemen that thinking about "hard" when the girl is about to leave is not an eLection problem its an eRection disorder!

Good analysis Richard.

How could we put that into, say, football reporting to make the information more accessible?

Two teams selected mainly from the reserves have played out a match using a VARiation on the rules that has never been used before and stumbled through to a 0-0 stalemate.

Whilst everyone is trying to work out whether the next step should be a replay or a penalty shoot out of some sort, the home team has had a number of discussions in the tunnel, dressing room and now the tunnel again as they head back to the pitch and have no idea what to do next since the 'powers' have yet to decide what to do next.

The First Team players and their Agents are all sitting in the car park in their limos or at the airport in their private jets waiting for the right moment to put in a transfer request in case opportunities (on either side) may yet arise to make more money from the existing teams without compromising future options.

The fans are left wondering how much next year's compulsory season ticket will cost but don't really expect the result to make much difference either way. They know is will just be a more expensive future and there will be more rules that no one understands.


HTH.

[Gerard C]

E.B, I guess you now lost your english accent. Be warned, just in case… If by chance you're expecting a visit, bear in mind that "kwossons here?" means "are there any croissants in the area?" and that "I need a place for my scooter" could mean "Have you enough room for a squatter?" In the first case, no worry, in the second you'll have to add at least one room to your appartement!!! Your naughty Momo!

Its all about 'cutting out the middle man- or animal'. Cows eat grass to produce milk, so the idea is that you remove said cow from the chain, thereby saving the planet from emissions, and we spread grass on our cereal....

[Gerard C]

What about fitting a catalyst to your cows? Would this affect the milk? "On ne peut tout de même pas empêcher les vaches de péter", what!

Would that be similar to the grass that some enterprising people used to stir into the mix for their exotic cookies?

No idea about any of that Mike!

Now Mike are you referring to a notorious Pie Stall Owner?

I'm sure Mrs Viv would never contemplate anything as disgusting at her high end Bun shop.

Leave Mrs Viv's buns out of this! What have they ever done to you?
