    Who decided that being a good socialist meant living in the city? What about the Tolpuddle Martyrs? Falling short again dune, keep up old chap.
  3. Usual ******** probably but have heard Pimpey are signing Wotton on a free to replace Brown.
  4. If you want to drive then you're going to have to accept that there is potential for someone to be hurt or even killed, wether by accident or speeding. Personally i think that the idea of slowing everything down to crawling pace is ridiculous and that we have to accept a certain number of people will be killed, its not particularly palatable but should every driver suffer to save 100 or so lives a year? What is the acceptable trade off? Does slowing everybody down reduce the perception of risk and actually increase the risk? Should parents take more responsibility for the their children rather than seeking to blame others? Not going to be a popular opinion but it doesn't mean its wrong.

    BNP apparently, probably one of Dune's mates.
  6. Scooters are less dangerous than cars, you don't hear of many scooter riders being killed.
  7. Took my Godson to a pre-season friendly at St.Mary's when he was 5, he lasted longer than i did, it was a complete bore-fest! He started taking a real interest after about his 3 game but then he was a in a question-a-minute-mode which didn't bother me but i think his dad was grateful for the tag-team answering. I think the interest is increased when they start school and they get to play every week in PE.
  8. Remember, you need to filter it at least twice and then you can only really use it in summer on its own as it will congeal, i've had some congeal at 7-8 degrees!
  9. Probably not going during the festival this year although i might pop down for the Sunday/Monday night for the closing parties depending on the weather and who's playing Sunday night. I might be able to help but it would be a phonecall with 2-3 hours notice! Which probably isn't any good.
  10. Most people use used oil from chip shops and restaurants so actually the price will come down as these businesses can charge people for their waste rather than having to pay for it to be disposed.
  11. Everybody is allowed a personal allowance of 2500 litres a year without paying any duty. You can use straight veg oil that is either new and clean or old but has been filtered to make it clean, biodiesel is the next step up and involves chemicals and a certain amount of mixing and heating using either home made equipment or specially manufactured equipment. The disadvantage of veg oil is that is congeals when cold (and not even that cold!) and so you need to alter the mixture you're using i.e straight veg oil in the summer but mixed at upto 90% with forecourt diesel during winter; you can install heaters to heat the oil in your fuel tank or add a second tank so you start on regular diesel and then when upto temperature you switch to the veg oil.Biodiesel is better for your car and will require less faffing around with your vehicle. Most German cars will run on Biodiesel without modification although you'll need to change the fuel filter alot more often. Apparently there are a few problems with Peugeot and Citroen cars that use HDi engines and also common rail injection. I run an old Mercedes diesel and it runs fine on any of the above but it's worth researching what route to go down and wether it's even worth it for your current vehicle, try http://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk
  12. Cider bus; the cider wasn't as palatable as previous years, still the quickest way to get merry though!
  13. Depends, Does mashed apple taste better in the hospital because you can't eat solid food; the farmer saw you, shot you and then drove forward and backwards over you before phoning for an ambulance?
  14. Anything more than soap and water for washing and brushing your teeth.
  15. You were out of order though.
  16. Surely Claus walks this one?
  17. Never had a problem with Beats myself, met him a couple of times and he was always a nice bloke; all my mates have said the same on the occasions they met him. Kevin Davies's career went down the ****ter after a drunk female friend of mine accosted him in a bar near The Walkabout during the Japan/Korea World Cup, she grabbed his face and stuck her tongue down his throat; he was always **** for us afterwards. Oh, and the time Danny Higginbotham nicked a postmans bike to get home with his missus in the 'basket' always brings a wry smile.
  18. Beautiful, i'd love to go touring in Italy on one just like Peter Moore in Vroom with a view and Vroom by the sea, if you havn't read them you should!
  19. Sorry to say but today (Sunday 26th.) the day after the 25th. is Boxing Day, it doesn't matter what day of the week it falls on, the 26th. is ALWAYS Boxing Day. You bunch of thickies.
  20. Always the day after Christmas Day, it's the second time i've heard this; boy there are a lot of thickies about this week.
  21. Top Gear stopped being good about 3/4 series ago.
  22. I'm going dressed as Heidi, you'll recognise me as The Delldays will be trying to feel me up.
  23. No idea, i'll ask him.
  24. It's his own house
  25. A friend of mine in the forces who lives in Winchester has a broken boiler, he's got some kiddies and so needs a recommendation for a plumber/heating engineer to fix it for him ASAP, any help appreciated.
