Ah. Hairy muff

I'm tempted by one of those to replace my T43p. Do you like it?

A '93 advert with a facelift car? Hmm, actually, it's got orange front signals, but the facelift side bits. How odd.

Yeah.. cheapest around here is 1.05

Maybe lower tyre pressure up front will help the tyres take up some of the side pressures.

I have always been fortunate. I never earned much money but I was provided a car by a client instead of them paying me for my services when I first went self employed. I am also covered by their company insurance policy. After a couple of leased new cars, I asked for a Supra and they gave me one which they paid the finance on, for me to keep afterwards. I wrote that one off, and got the current one after that. That's all paid now so no debt, but I still have the good insurance deal (~£600/year covering me on both the J-Spec Supra TT and a new Honda Civic diesel). I don't go on any skiiing trips but we do take a few holidays to the inlaws in Spain & Turkey. I think Charlotte hit the nail on the head that basically your outgoings are somewhat extravagant and certainly more than most regular folk here in England would have.

I'm still paying 108p for my diesel Why do they always refer to the UL price when probably more cars use diesel

Sidewall height or lack of and perhaps tyre pressures could be important too. Are they like rubber bands?

Or at least I think it's called tramlining anyway ,even though you're not driving on truck damaged/tramlined roads.

In case you didn't already know, what you're describing is called tramlining, and cars with wide tyres do this anyway. All Supras do it. Those with bigger/wider wheels do it more. Wrong caster angle would cause this too (think how a shopping trolley pulls its front wheels around instead of pushing them).

I have customer where one of the partners is Caucasian but quite dark, always tanned so his nickname Raoul. They were asking for ideas for his 50th birthday present and I figured some Fair and Handsome might do

Anybody have a link to the funny video for the Indian fairness cream? Not sure if it was "Fair and Lovely" but there are loads of videos for that and not that look funny as I remembered.

That's a great price. Look how much I paid only recently.. £100 + vat! http://www.css-networks.com/bill.png

Mine is almost unique because it's unmolested http://www.css-networks.com/newbaby/1.jpg

That's very clever indeed.

RBS looks like a cheap buy at 45p, but then I said that when they were at 70-odd P

I use Barclays online stockbrokers (part of Barclays Wealth). If you trade very infrequently the trades cost £12.95. I think III looks better and is a little cheaper, but you have to wait for activation stuff through the post whereas Barclays let you credit the account from a debit card and trade right away.

lol

I can relate to that!!

Good I nearly ran out the door at the missus' dad's house on Sunday when we were eating Sunday lunch

You can be sure of that

I bet they've been putting something in the water to make us all forget the economic climate and be happy and spend

Try taking 3 minutes with a small bag (breathing into). They say to use a paper bag, but I use plastic ones if that's all I can find that's small enough. It generally does calm you down.

Snap!
