    If you need owt m8 - have a look through the body kits here http://www.miami-gt.com
  2. NIce to hear someone doing it right! If you are speaking to Ray - I'll happily stick a linnk up as a recommended bodyshop on the site... Thanks for the recommendation about the kit too
  3. Was going to arrange a venue on this side of the channel for the Friday mate... Some people have quite a way to travel on the Friday you see... so we could travel over together (probably in 2 trains and meet at the petrol station past calais again) on the Saturday and spend Sunday after lunch sightseeing etc Also this year I will be arranging one package pricing that people can buy into - not 'no accommodation - just the train bit' or ' accommodation and no dinner and different train times back etc' Just too much hassle for 50/60 cars and 100+ people
  4. 5 minutes - actually you need to aim for 8 plus 2 minutes of thank yous and toasts Remember to golden rule about any public speaking 'You have got to have earned the right to be there!' And you have So deep breath...speak SLOWLY and LOUDLY from the stomach out ... chuck in a couple of funnies from above list...some heartfelt uppers about your mate (thats for the in-laws who want some idea that their daughter is not with an axe muderer!)... another quick marrage joke... then toast the bridemaids and then echo sentments about the happy couple etc... Best man speech rules Officially, the best man responds to the second toast on behalf of the bridesmaids and any other attendants. The best man is expected to deliver an optimistic, buoyant and funny speech keeping everyone present entertained. To ensure a successful speech, pay careful attention to the following points: 1. Try to say everything you need to say in less than 1000 words or 7 minutes. You don't have to cover every year of the groom's life. 2. Your speech needs humour, but no real detail. Think about whether you really need to recite a whole story. 3. Don't include more than one anecdote or reminiscence. At a typical reception half the guests don't know the other half. The speech must be entertaining even to people who have never met the characters you're talking about. 4. The speech should contain plenty of humour and friendly digs at the bridegroom. But it should also include an equal number of congratulatory and optimistic remarks. 5. Don't refer to previous girlfriends. 6. Compliment the bride. 7. Don't use swear words. 8. Consign the opening line and the next two lines of your speech to memory. Then, if necessary, read the rest word for word, but try to raise your head and speak to the audience as much as you can. 9. Speak loudly and slowly, and use pauses between sections of your speech or to let the laughter die down after you've delivered a killer line. See our Speech templates and Example speeches for ideas on how to organise your best man speech. Done and dusted - get pissed and snog the chief bridesmaid (not the mother-in-law, or the bride...!! )
  5. Just remember everyone is thankful it's NOT them up there!
  6. Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - Let me first say that the bridesmaids look absolutely smashing today, and only rightly outshone by our bride, Linda. And, I'm sure you'll agree with me gentlemen, today is a sad day for single men, as another beauty leaves the available list. And ladies, I'm sure you'll agree that today's passing by without much of a ripple Nice one to start In the run-up to today, Paul and Linda had a bit of an issue with the seating plan, because they really couldn’t decide who to put where. So as best man, I offered to step in and help work something out. What we finally decided was to use the wedding present list, and put those who bought the biggest items nearest the front, and work it back from there. So if they can hear me at the back there, thank you to Tony and Sue for the oven glove. There are some stories you can tell at a wedding and then there are others that might be interesting to tell, but can't really be told. The ones that Paul invented about himself for the Reader's Letters section of Penthouse magazine would be a perfect example. My main duty today is to give you all an introduction to the groom, relating tales about his crazy adventures as a young man, his run-ins with the police, the marathon sessions in the pub and his string of meaningless flings. I should then introduce the benevolent influence of the bride on our young hero, as she struggled to tame a man with an approach to life that combined ape-like urges with gay abandon. Of course, I can't cover everything, so I'm just going to concentrate on the gay abandon. None of you will know this, but I've actually congratulated the groom already. 'Paul,' I said to him, 'Well done! You will always look back on today as the happiest and best thing you've ever done.' Fitting words, I thought, at the end of a fantastic stag do. Ladies and gentlemen, if there's anybody here this afternoon who's feeling nervous, apprehensive and queasy at the thought of what lies ahead, it's probably because you have just got married to Paul Wilson. I think all went well this morning in getting Paul ready for his big day. The condemned man ate a solid, hearty breakfast and arrived at the church sober and on time. My one disappointment would have to failing to arrange his last request as a single man - due to strong protests from the do-gooders at the Sheep Welfare Council. I've known Paul for many years and in some ways you could say I've been a father figure to him. I watched him drink from a bottle, I watched him stagger around naked, I watched him crawl, I've dressed and undressed him, cleaned up after him … and that was only last night! My first impression of Paul was a guy with a really distinctive sense of fashion style and, being young and impressionable, I started to copy him in the sorts of things he used to wear - until my mother grounded me for taking clothes from her wardrobe. Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - Let me first say that the bridesmaids look absolutely smashing today, and only rightly outshone by our bride, Linda. And, I'm sure you'll agree with me gentlemen, today is a sad day for single men, as another beauty leaves the available list. And ladies, I'm sure you'll agree that today's passing by without much of a ripple. I first met Paul when he was in his first job back at J.C. Andrews. We got on straight away, and found that we were totally on the same level. This was in 1985, when my father also worked there and had taken me along for a few days during the Easter holidays. I was 11 years old at the time
  7. I have done 3! Infortunately before this came out! http://www.thebestmanspeech.com/
  8. Pics please Martin - might have someone interested
  9. Surely just discussion for the sake of...? However for the sake of a quiet life my perception would be as follows My uncles company making exhausts for supras - for which I will do you a great price - I have one on mine and it's great - call me for details... = Trading I have an exhaust off mine to sell... = Individual sale Am I being difficult, objectionable, unreasonable in this view?
  10. Advertising a service or sale = trading Pay the fee.. not a problem.. You are getting desperate now Alex - must be getting to you
  11. LOL! Dont make me larf - the whole thing is an advert... i.e. one paragraph - i dont have time for the rest "If you are thinking about going for a powerflow exhaust it would be worth you hanging on for a bit, or let me know what you get quoted because I am sure my Uncle will do it for less, I will be getting mine done on Thursday evening so I will be taking photos and reporting my findings. Give me a call if you like 07788 973757" What part of this requires clarification? - the will to sell? - the contact details? or the pricing promise? - sounds like selling to me...? And my complaint was not about 'Garfy' the individual (good luck to you if he can get away with it) but about the allowing of advertising by non-paying traders...if they have a product they 'think' might sell then pay up like everyone else....it called retail marketing If 'for the good of the forum community' then these will be sold at cost...? Lets see...
  12. I wondered when you would be along... have you been given permission to be out of school? Go back to Tumbleweed II
  13. Not to traders Nah - no more diplomacy mate - tell it as it is and be done... WTH!
  14. Actually I noted that there were a few absent recently
  15. Bloody hell you are a whingy git ... I will continue to post in a section that advertises stuff being sold or promoted by non-paying pseudo traders... why should they be able to do it and not me? (when my claim is legitimate) I would not think of interupting a thread where it would be inappropriate... If you dont like it then get them to pay their fees like everyone else and you wont get a peep out of me.. in the meantime... tough

  17. A conspiracy theory attempts to explain the ultimate cause of an event (usually a political, social, or historical event) as a secret, and often deceptive, plot by a covert alliance of powerful people or organizations rather than as an overt activity or as natural occurrence. History has shown that crimes carried out by a group of people (a "conspiracy") are not uncommon. Reasearchers who are advocates of the conspiratorial view of history such as G. Edward Griffin claim that most major events in history are dominated by conspirators who manipulate major political happenings. The term "conspiracy theory" is usually used by mainstream scholars and in popular culture to identify a type of folklore similar to an urban legend, especially an explanatory narrative which is constructed with methodological flaws.[1] The term is also used pejoratively to dismiss allegedly misconceived, paranoid or outlandish rumors. Most people who have their theory or speculation labeled a "conspiracy theory" reject the term as prejudicial. Richard Hofstadter said that his use of the terminology is “pejorative”.[
  18. Where does Allah dictate that they have to kill Israelis? Not in any version of the Koran that my friends read?
  19. Micheal. *sigh* one day when you come blinking into the sunlight and realise that real girls exist you might aspire to achieving half my IQ m8! I object to fundamentalism in any form - I really dont care if Palestine or Jew... And FS sake stop waving bloody history lessons on how we buggered up back then... the situation is now... or do we go down the Hitlerism route being bandied so ridiculously by the Isrealis? Please dont use the net and forum to foister obvious idealogical propaganda - I would object to this kind of post if from any angle...
