It's an utterly fantastic car to drive, but I can't get past the looks. I don't like it at all I'm afraid. Not my taste.

Agreed. I really like it. I think I sense a small bank-contacting session coming on next time I go home.

I must admit to not having gone that far. Done that, though. And that. Though I didn't change the details - I started out like that. Yup, check. Have that confirmed in writing. Hmmm. Sneeeeaky. I like it. :D

There's a few other steps you can take to avoid many of these problems. 1) Don't use internet banking 2) Don't EVER put any banking details on a PC that is connected to the net 3) Don't mail order via the internet. 4) Don't give your bank an email address for you. Then, anything that...

Some, but not much I admit. I usually watch a bit of each race, including the start, but it isn't long before I'm bored with it and give up. There's a limited amount of time I have to watch racing and F1 has become (IMHO) so boring that I'll use that time watching something else ...... anything...

Racing isnt just about who wins, but about the race itself. With F1, we get a high speed progression round the track, and if were lucky, we get the occasional overtaking manouvre. But all too often, races are determined by choice of strategy, how many stops and even whether the pit crew get...

I haven't read this thread in total so what I've got to say has probably been said before. My opinion .... Formula 1 stopped being worth watching some years ago. For a real race watch MotoGP or Superbike. Or saloon car racing, or the Caterham races, or Fiesta racing for pities sake. Just...

The problem is, if there isn't anyone that you actually want to vote for, you're really left with two choices - you vote for the least bad, or you don't vote. I'm not convinced by those that say if you don't vote, you shouldn't complain, because I didn't have any say in rigging the system the...

That's certainly how I read it, yes. I said I'd prefer Howard on the basis that I despise him and the Tories a bit less than I despise the others (post 146) and you said .... I took that to mean you disagree that Howard is a lesser evil than Blair and the implication of that is that you...

Can't get off the hook that easily, m'dear. You said you prefer Blair to Howard. I understand voting LD, but in light of Blair's immediate record, it doesn't explain prefering Blair to Howard. In all seriousness, given the way Blair took this country to war, I can't think of much, or even...

It's a tough call, I guess ..... but at least Howard hasn't taken the country to war, and lied through his teeth about the basis for it. Whatever Tony "two-face" says about it, we've all seen the nature of the information presented to him about WMD, complete with the cautions and caveats...

You don't see the mahoosive interest rates and unemployment rates, etc, because the situation Labour inherited from the Tories in '97 is VASTLY better than the situation the Tories inherited from Labour in '79. It is totally meaningless to compare performance under the Tories and performance...

Well, about 40 years ago I went for a swim in a hotel pool in Majorca. I executed what I thought was a masterful dive from the low board, did the first 2/3rds length underwater, and then three more lengths in what, in my minds eye at least, was a powerful yet elegant breast-stroke. I then pulled...

DD isn't wrong. It's all in the definitions, but owning a TV does NOT require you to have a licence, and nor nor using it for playing back pre-recorded tapes, watching DVDs or using a games console. Or using it as a coffee table. But as soon as the equipment receives a UK broadcast...

No it doesn't. I pay it in one go.

Did something give me away? I thought I hid it. :D No hard feelings here either, but I suspect you're dead right about one thing (in additon to the maths view of .... no, don't go there). We aren't going to agree on this. Cor, some people like to live dangerously. There was I, fuse lit, red...

Me too. I think that's the first time I've ever posted like that, but a combination of frustration and that "chip" remark left me not inclined to just let it slide. Me neither. Alpha has shown great patience (more than I have probably) in dealing, patiently and more or less calmly, with those...

And that's why I give up. That's the closest any of the maths heads here have actually got to acknowledging the point I've been making, and all that happens is it gets dismissed. No argument, no rebuttal, just "you don't have a point 'cos it's all about maths". I don't have a chip on my...

I give up. I totally give up. It isn't worth the effort.

You quote me and then say that, without 'meaning to sound patronising'? What you've just said is, effectively, "you're talking rubbish, so don't contradict your betters". And that isn't patronising? I said, right in my first post on this days ago and early on in the first thread on this, that...
