  1. just watched the last ever Hammond/Clarkson/May adventure....

     

    End of an Era... from Top Gear to the GT...

     

    Kinda sad, when a good thing comes to an end....

      Yrkoon - Clarkson has his farm now

      Hammond has his Garage restoration business

      May does alsorts!

       

      so they aint gone, just Not together 😞

       

      It was nice to see them actually enjoy a trip!

  2. Job screening is the most teeth pulling, anger inducting, violating, intrustive process Ive ever had the misfortune to deal with. No wonder UK has a job issue!!

  3. Parents worst nightmare when they know something isn't right with there kids.... but taking 5years to get the answer knowing it'll never be good news 😞 But knowing is half the battle, and fight I must for him!

      We've known for a while now (he's 5 now), but something wasn't right

      The pregnancy went wrong at week 30

      he was rushed out and was DOA, but they managed to get his little heart going, and onto Life support to breathe and drips cause he was soo tiny and had Nothing to burn

       

      the thing is, he is 5 going on 2.....

      He has lots of things going on health wise, 1st consultant kept saying its global delay he will catch up, but didn't

      New consultant and well she's hit the nail on the head and now we know why, he was cut short of oxygen and there is brain damage 💔 😢, he is still my little boy but the fact he is long term disabled is scary, and the thought of the challenges its gonna bring... it scares the living crap out for me

      We have 2 other diagnosis coming as well, again common to his scenario, but just means i have to fight for him, he will probably never fight for himself 😞

       

      Just 2024 has been a super super super duper bu**sh** year and the fans running at full speed and heaps keep getting thrown into it 😞

  7. Does anyone know about the arcade claw machines. "It's the claw!" 

     

    Like how do they work are they on clocks or something that makes the claw actually clamp every ??£. How many plays until the lock works ect. 

     

    I put 30p in one yesterday and won a really nice hulk teddy it's amazing I like it my girl loves it. 

     

    But I thought I would keep playing lol and burned a tenner, every time I grabbed their heads perfectly but they all slipped out. It was obvious the claw was letting them go. 

     

    So I'm just wondering how they work now.

  11. I'm glad I don't smoke anymore but do think this is silly. No more packs of 10 and the disgusting packages. That's what they think will work lol. 

     

    A. Rolling back

    B. The Chap two doors down banging out 200 fags for £40 or watever. Who doesn't mind selling to kids either.  

    C. Rolling tins and soon fag tins will be back.

      The Curtain door is a pain in the backside when selling fags
      Not been able to show customers product - only a price list is a pain in the backside - its not our fault its the goverments regulations

       

      they are getting rid of 10's, stopped been produced now or v.soon, and soon as the old stock is gone - thats IT

      They are meant to be just white boxes soon - to make then less "s****y" like that will help....

  17. 29 year old first car insurance.

     

    No convictions + normal stuff prob Park on the street altho a private garage might happen (fingers crossed for my recent house bid) 

     

    I'm aiming for a 2006 fiesta 1.4 ish. 

     

    But the more I see the new mini the more I like it. It has a 4× safety award I think too. Nice alloys and exhaust could make it suit me. Any ideas what insurance would be estimate. Or should I stick to the festa. 

     

    I do have a corsa 1.2 but Idk if it will stay around the inlaws want it gone asap and tbh ide rather not have a corsa lol.

      If you have NCD you'll be fine with the supplier if you were on a parents policy

      If you go Mini - hell avoid the 1.6 diesels, they are the PSA lump, and they are plagued with turbo issues
      I think they may even be in Ford focus' - but not sure

  19. Could anyone recommend a decent house moving team please? No idea what they generally tend to cost, so looking for some names to check out for an idea on price and if they provide boxes and all that kind of thing.

    Been doing some Googling but most I have found just seem to want you to ring them to book, at the moment I just want some general info.

      Go to your local supermarket - as them to save you some Deep Bannana boxes :)
      And when you pick them up - buy some cheap rolls of cling film

      When boxes are full - wrap em up in cling film - A, should they fall, it wont go everywhere, B- If its raining, they wont get wet

      I recently moved, and everything we could pack up in we did boxes from my work (local supermarket)
      And Suitcases

      We had a van which we luckily got to use for free
      But renting a Tranny / Boxer van / VW Transporter and a few decent runs made light work of it all :)

  24. Anyone know about LED Bulbs? I've installed some in my house. 4x Dimmable ones. The switch on the wall is a remote control one with various levels of brightness. However, when I turn them on fully, I get them blinking, and when I turn them OFF two stay on? The old non LED ones were fine?

    1. Ziggy122

      Ziggy122

      Im using LED bulbs all over the house near enough
      Dont get any flash's or weird glowing stuff

      Cheap bulbs from homebargins to LED's at Ikea, no issues at all

      Maybe it is the bulbs?

  25. i noticed my nitro goes a alot faster after a bath in 2stroke oil, not to mention if you mix a small amount in with the nitro

    1. Ziggy122

      Ziggy122

      Nitro fuel already has oil in it

      So by adding more oil there is less fuel - so the engine runs leaner hence why it runs faster, but there is still extra oil to lubricate

      Watch the temperatures and ensure the tune is still good
