    Old Fords

    The door mirror on our old Mondeo is held on with duct tape. That car took a ride through a hedge last winter though, and came out the other side significantly slimmed down, so it's excused.
  2. What sort of deal? It would be illegal to ultimately pay HMRC more, pro rata, than the other unsecured creditors. Sounds like bullsh*t to me.

    Drag? I think not. It's simply that the plastic (generally a polyethylene or polyester), although very resilient to shock, does not really like deforming and springing back into shape without weakening significantly. This causes a spiderweb of failure lines and another impact, no matter how light, will cause it to break. As most of the Mondeos and Escorts have been on the road for years, and have a relatively long lifespan, they will have seen their fair share of knocks. Couple that with the ridiculous cost of replacement bumpers, the fact they also need colour-coding and the fact that anyone keeping a 10-15 year old car on the road is not going to want to spend money on it and you end up with the duct-tape solution.
  4. If every country in the world bought into this idea then it might just work.
  5. Lol, Christ....
  6. Indeed. I would laugh, however, at the authority with which some people post when they state what is going to happen at various stages, only to then shift the goalposts to the next stage.
  7. I have to agree. This thread is chock full of definites that have turned out to be anything but. If I was a P*mpey fan I would be laughing at the undeserved arrogance of most of this thread by now.
  8. Ka. Cheap as chips.
  9. It was crap though. Let's get that straight.
  10. Of course it was a joke. Jeez. Grainy black and white footage? A police woman for a linesperson? English text? There's a thread in the WC Forum talking about this.
  11. Yeah, that was ****ing weird and did a bit of a disservice to the football team, as well as the country.

    Old shirts?

    I'm sure I've seen older kits than that with crests on but the evidence there suggests otherwise, so I'll shut the eff up.
  13. At least he can't waste their money.

    Old shirts?

    Even the pre 1900's shirts had a crest of sorts.
  15. The links are arguably more intuitive but that's quite subjective. It's really Steve's baby but I believe that if we wanted to take advantage of the latest vBulletin software then we had to change the skin too as the previous one was no longer compatible. There are dozens of reasons why upgrading to the latest version was desirable from an administrative point of view but I can accept that at the point of use these are less tangible. One thing I have no doubt of is that the niggles will be resolved as they come to light and ultimately we will be left with something that is more obviously far superior to what we had before.

    I'm not sure we ever played without a club crest on the shirt.
  17. We can see you sneaking out!
  18. Finally, those ****ing horns have stopped.
  19. I believe you can multitask with IOS4 on the 3GS but not on a 3G.
  20. Almost all of the matches have been and those vuvuzelas don't any anything to the enjoyment.
  21. Seriously though, I was having the same trouble on Sunday night but it seems alright tonight. I have no explanation for this though.
  22. Try 'one-finger' typing.
  23. I don't know if this helps you, RM, but clicking "What's New?" on the banner (under Keegan on my screen) brings up a list solely of threads with posts you haven't read, defaulted to newest at the top. It's what I do to save me clicking in and out of the main page to see where I need to go and read posts for moderation purposes.
  24. I just got a pm from Benjii. Apparently Forlan aimed at the defender to get that deflection.
  25. I reckon that is a 2-stroke.
