  1. The guys at Sans take their products very seriously.
  2. Wasnt large spacers was it:d If Id known you (well actually your car:d ) were going I'd have crawled out my sick bed and come up
  3. I think you head-butt each other whilst simultaneously attempting the robot dance when you first meet ? Or is that for Japanese VIPs.
  4. We are still developing the in-car pachyderm Chris. Installation is an issue, at the moment its still on-car.
  5. Possibly, if the Gallardo lights are a sheet of lexan held on with some screws:)
  6. I could fill half a page with photos of cars in the company car park, but that would be cruel. They are young and take a lot of pride in their 'work in progress'. They spend hours making sure their bumpers are exactly 5 inches wider than the wings they butt against, and the duck tape strips holding the kit on have been lovingly applied to ensure a perfect blend at the seams. They are technically minded too, none of this 6 inch spacer shit, they have chosen the skinniest wheels they can find to ensure the offsets are as close to the rear diff as possible. I'll take some pics when I'm back at work.
  7. Hard isnt it. Same here on an evening out, did really well til after the meal and we hit a club....lots of drink, a good conversation going on, someone taps me on the shoulder next thing I've a ciggie in my mouth. And the sod who offered it me knows I've stopped, because I only told him a couple of hours before.
  8. I got stopped in the street the other day by a guy asking me if there was a B&Q in Bournemouth. 'No idea mate', I said, 'but I know theres two 'O's in Poole'. He decked me.

    Well, I'm sorry for making a wise-crack using your name Bob. Right then, are you gonna book us a room, or shall I:)

    I'm not sure I'm actually hounding this guy, but I appreciate you sticking up for him as one of his fellow MSOC members. Sorry, but I love Supras and I'm a member of MSOC too. Moderators on there can reign me in if they feel the need.
  11. hope you didnt spot the link I posted earlier...it was tax advice for pensioners
  12. Beautiful Supra...well done.
  13. In that case, I would apply lard to the affected part twice a day. If the swelling does not subside by Thursday, I'll send you a complimentary breast pump.
  14. Absolutely Chris. Special deal for .net members, All Sans Cash deals involve Sans Packaging and Sans Delivery. I can also guarantee Sans Content. They were delivered two weeks before you asked for them, did you not get the package ? If you didnt, it must be lost in the post. You are therefore covered under my Totally Lost It agreement.
  15. Inspired by the instrument dials on Lexus IS200, this new addition to the Sans Sense range of instrumentation is a work of Swiss craftsmanship. The dials can be removed for security, and the ingenious integral bracelet allow them to be worn on the wrist when not needed in the car. Dials for up to four functions are available. Calendar....useful for those not knowing 'what the f**k day is it'. Turbo Timer....this function can be used with the dial in the car or on your wrist. 0-60mph time elapsed....a function requiring the optional Sans 'wall-eye' goggles to ensure safe operation. Alarm....not perfected yet, this function requires the optional Sans Crystal Ball to enable the user to set the alarm for the exact moment when an attempted theft is predicted. £1,800 per dial, £67 per dial pod (which also act as automatic winders when fitted with 2x AA batteries)
  16. That reminds me...Ive always wondered why pinks worth 6 points but browns only worth 4.

    Come on, give the guy a break, its weapons-grade washing line. If a collision with a pedestrians ankles is imminent, sensors on the front bumper activate two 12volt Landrover winches hidden in the boot which lift the splitter up out of harms way. An interesting feature of this aero-aid kit, is that cats dont trigger this device, rather they are scooped up and ingested by the intake system (boost is achieved via tightly wound cat-gut), and the kill is added to the overall score logged in the MKR (moggie kill register) software.
  18. Thought that was supposed to be me for a minute, but nah, cant be:)
  19. Your firms accountants will be able to advise you wether they dealt with any taxable company benefits correctly. Next its back to you to check your coding takes these taxable benefits into account, and wether you are recieving any tax allowances you are entitled to. I started with my Notice of Tax Coding, and asked the firms accountants and the Revenue enough questions to work it all out. If you havent had a recent Notice of Tax Coding from the Inland Revenue and you are worried about it.... Assuming you are PAYE, I'd ask your companies pay-roll dept for your tax reference and tax office, and contact that office to say you want to check your PAYE coding. They will (usually) send out a tax return for you to fill out. Once they have checked this return out, they will advise further.
  20. Not good is it. Over the last 23 years with the same employer, the worst I've underpaid in a year was around £4k, the best I've overpaid (I got it back) in a year was around a £1000. Two years ago, I had a little victory, as the Inland Revenue had not actually issued the correct code, although all the information I had given them was correct. Not much in it for me other than feeling smug. Dont even get me started on self assessment:d
  21. Bung him in wherever you want...theres been no flaming so far:)
  22. I've had similar issues a few times over the years. This is how it panned out for me........ Your tax code is ultimately down to you as far as the Inland Revenue is concerned. I dont mean that you can make your own up:) , but it is up to you to check your coding is correct as far as they are concerned. An accountant is no more than an advisor, working on tax code information they are given by the Inland Revenue, the Inland Revenue provide this coding information to them based on the information YOU need to provide. If your company accountants provide the revenue with that information on your behalf (ie, you are not under self-assessment and your companies accountants do all this for you), you still need to check that information is correct. If that makes sense, you will appreciate that whilst this mistake can be blamed on your companies accountants, the Inland Revenue will simply say that you should have checked that your coding is correct and advised them if it was'nt. Not that easy for most of us, but thats the bottom line. In these situations, (ie a mistake by your accountants, and not a blatant attempt to avoid payment of tax) the Inland Revenue will usually accept back-payment spread over a year or two if you ask them. They will provide you with a new special tax code that effectively takes a bit more out of your wages every month until you are evens.
  23. great film. Time Bandits is on sometime soon too. Keeps me young this sort of stuff.
