    Clearly? Just because it's in their interest doesn't mean it's not in mine too.

    Because they'll do anything that's in their interest. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/greek-debt-crisis-goldman-sachs-could-be-sued-for-helping-country-hide-debts-when-it-joined-euro-10381926.html Like I said, half a mill is pennies to this bunch. They falsified key financials required to join the EU. Greece was not ready and the people are suffering thanks to the greed of the elite. Now I hear on TV how people think we should "cut Greece loose" and the EU "shouldn't be helping them out." Maybe we deserve our independence and pain for the financial sector.

    I don't understand what you mean dude? Half a mill is nothing in this game.

    Yeah? How long is that then? Long enough that my businesses fail because they rely on other businesses to have money or rely on well off people having a lot of disposable income? But that's OK because I can sit at home claiming dole money like everyone else whilst waiting for us to return to the glory days.

    No. That was a Goldman Sacchs backhanded deal. They are crooks. The Greek ministers that swallowed millions themselves are crooks. The Greeks should never have been accepted in the EU as they had no proper structure or Tax system. Unfortunately they are there now.

    New Top Gear

    High point for me was Sabine driving the Corvette and saying it "handled as bad as a Ferrari"

    New Top Gear

    Whoever presented Top Gear or whatever changes came, people would criticise it. I enjoyed it. They obviously decided to keep the much loved format the same and introduced some nice tweaks like the off-road track and the extra show online. The franchise is too huge to damage and they were clearly too scared to change much. Evans was OK, but I can understand he's not some peoples cuppa, whilst Matt was a little wooden but amusing. I'm hoping they'll all loosen up a little and it'll return to top form.

    Sensationalising the headlines Imi? These are loans from creditors/IMF. Not a hand out. You may note that "The IMF considers debt relief essential, but Germany in particular was opposed." Greece needs all the help it can get. Although I still feel it might have worked out better for me and kinder on the people if they'd defaulted at the start. As it is, they're bound to the EU - so this is why I want to remain, and for the EU to succeed. I do not plan on spending my twilight years in the UK, so anything that helps that plan is good. Just read this which offered some slightly different views: Interested to see how you'll shout down this one: https://www.ipsos-mori.com/researchpublications/researcharchive/3739/Economists-Views-on-Brexit.aspx
  9. Sold These were on my Supra when I bought it. Volk Racing wheels are known for their Strength, Lightweight and Stylish Designs. Forged one piece mono block. Fronts have plenty of tread, but old Nankang rubber. Rear tyres are dead. Two centre caps present, I may have one other somewhere. As you can see from the pic, they're in need of refurb. I'm led to believe they're lightweight and pretty good wheels, if of interest to anyone then make me an offer. Anything considered. I really don't want the hassle of shipping though.

  10. Worth a go. You might get someone reasonable.
  11. Still one of my favourites. Focus on the handling rather than flashy graphics.

  14. That Volvo photo was just for you, I was waiting to see if you discovered it.
  15. Hence why I put the stock 17's back on for Dragonball.

    No. Just the people that want out are the noisiest keyboard warriors.

    The people of Spain and Italy were wanting it too.
  18. Added our photos to Flickr https://flic.kr/s/aHskA65cn5 They include some things you may have missed whilst hooning around the countryside: * Cathedral of Sainte-Waudru at Mons (First stop) * Schumacher-Knepper Winery at Schwebsange on Friday * A walk around Luxembourg old town * Casemates du Boc (underground caves) * Notre Dame Cathedral, Luxo * Church of Saint Quentin at Tornai (Sunday stop) There's even an old Volvo in there for CW
  19. I've no idea. I don't want to know. Just stick it in and have some fun. (That advice could be used for sooooo many things)
