Any one on here just had an earthquake in there area? we live in rushden Northants and it was for about 8 secs long!!!!! that dont happen to much round here! richie

me and cov3z got hit with a spped camera about 9-10 weeks ago whilst we were driving to a local meet, not sure what speed he was doing but i was doing around 80ish, not had anything come of it though, fingers crossed you wont either. richie

Here is Jens Supra!! richie

didn't i say that? richie

It's a horrible climate right now, and therefore one of the best times to apply i'm not sure thats a good comment to make to be honest with you, why would it be one of the best times to apply? richie

Hello mate Well where do i start? so you want to join the Army do you? WHY?????????????? As a few have said on here i have just got out having done a tad over 15 years, The reason i got out was this, Spent to much time away from home in some not very nice places. Lets not forget this, in the present climate that we are in you are not fighting for queen and country, as a lot of us joined up for. We are fighting a war over oil. I left the army as the troop Staffy and i can tell you this, it is very hard to install faith in your guys when its wrong that we should be in these theatre's. Watching Ross kemp in his latest saga was very intresting to me. yes to a certain degree it was glamitised (Sp) all the shooting and rockets and mortars going off BUT................ being on the recieving end of the same is not funny, it takes a lot of courage to see a fire fight through, to put your head over the wall and fire back, it takes a real amount of self discipline to deal with your mate that has been shot as well as look out for your mates at the same time. during my time i have served all over the world, Bosnia, canada, kenya, Northen Ireland, Kosovo and Iraq to name a few and some others!! I was a bomb disposal officer for my last 4 years and a No:2 for the 3 previous to that, The job was very satisfying and its like playing with big boys toys, however again there are times when its serious. If you can join a Corps it would be better to you so that you can get a trade, the engineers is a good bet, but.............. you do not get a full qualification after leaving training, the Army has wised up to guys doing 4 years and leaving. I did my apprenticeship as an electrician and was lucky enough to follow it through for a few years after qualifing. I have just finished my ressetlement to do a few more course but £524 does not go a long way to helping you out for you future employment. Have you considered other services? like a couple of the others have said RAF!!!!!! they always seemed to be better looked after than we were, saying that though, that was from the outside looking in, they may tell you different. hope this provides a little insight for you, there is loads i could go on about, like wages, taxes, leave and equipment!! I am happy to answer any questions you have. i will give you only honest answers. richie

The harder they hit you!!!!!!!!!

what about something like this? richie

the GPS readings and speedo is not to far out on ours what really is is the odometer, 15 km on the GPS and only 10 on the odometer!!!!!!!!! plus side is that at least the mleage will be low when we sell it!!! down side is a bugger to work out fuel consumption! richie

Mate you got to edit your last quote, its jens car and if she see's this i will get it in the neck big time!!!! richie

This is ours on 19's and we get no problems with rubbing, as for the handling we dont use ours on a track and as the speed limit is only 70mph in the uk i cant really see that it will make much difference to you. just my opinion though, others on here will no doubt tell you different. I must admit though we have gone more for the look of the supra as opposed to the performance of it at the moment. hope this helps, ours are 265/30/19's on the rear and 235/35/19's on the front not sure of the off setthough, demon tweeks sorted that out. richie

blast from the past, was just looking on the site and a thread apperaed that i had started ages ok, the video looks good, i still like the kit i think!!! would need to see one in the flesh though, Cheers for the advice mate will bear that in mnd for the future. richie

we think its a cross between somrthing like a St Bernard and a bearded terrier.

me and jen have 2 labs, they live indoors most of the time, but there has been quite a few occasions where i have gone into the kitchen to find that they have both gone outside to cool down, it minus 2 the other night and they were both out there!! as long as they have something to lay on and they can snuggle up to each other i dont see it as a problem, it will also slow down the malting process as they are less likely to shed there fur if they need it at the moment. mine are loseing there winter coats at the moment because of the mild weather over the last few weeks. yours will be ok, the guy we got ours from keeps has labs out in kennals as the are working dogs and not house pets, so depends on there use and how you feel about it. if you go to them one morning and they look like the monkey in the last pirates of the carrabian when its on the ship going into the iceberg area, might be woth bringing them in!! richie

Good effort on your achievments, i did shotakan for 11 years training with john van weenan in bedford, loved every minuite of it, always wished i had gone on to do comps, although i did gain my black belt before i joined the army. so is there anything on youtube of you fighting? i am sure there are a few of us that would like to watch. so are you still going to train? just not compete? richie

Just posted for you under riche396 richie

the one that really got to me was episde 3 towards the end, where you saw the helmet cam footage of Pte Gray during the contact, very emotional i thought, that was real time footage of guys dealing with a situation that is not nice to be in, my thoughts went out to that section during that time. i have a lot of my old troop deployed on ops at the moment on Op HERRICK so my thoughts are with them at the moment to ensure they have a safe return soon. richie

400m cable run! bejesus!!! have you got the cable now? it might be worth talking to the electricty board to see if they have enough to do the job, because doing 3 joints is going to be expensive. also not wanting to teach you to suck eggs but have you considered the voltage drop that you are going to incur over that distance? thats a long run. just something to bear in mind, richie
