The only thing that remains to be seen is whether their new show, on a commercial station has the budget and editorial freedom they had on the BBC.

Ah, those are the style I'm 99% sure the later 800s had in 16"

16" Ti wheels? The 623 GSi model may have had 16" in a less racy style. The >1996 800 sterlings had 16" wheels in a plain style. I think the steelies only went to 15", though.

Ok. I meant those under 18. Where encouraging self-expression seems to largely nurture a tendency towards self-centredness and disruption.

Youths aren't eligible to vote

I saw the election results for Northamptonshire - conservative in every constituency with about 2/3 of those at 50-60% of total vote. Democracy in action!

That's what I figured might happen with the last government. Whether it did or not might be a debate for another day. The Tories seem to have responded immediately to the support UKIP got in the election. Points taken on alternative options to first-past-the-post. It's something I have a niggling fe...

I agree with Sheaf that proportional representation seems fairer on the face of it, but leaves a huge question regarding local representation and MP allocation. Regarding National Service, whether it's a good thing of not I think we've had quite enough of youth self-expression. I'm guess the dominan...

It turns out the Conservatives would still have won under a proportional representation: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-32601281 UKIP would have done far better, though. As it stands the SNP have a lot of MPs for a relatively small proportion of the total vote. Labour just wasn't credible e...

A couple of little bits of food for thought that came to my attention lately: Privatisation of the NHS Definitely a worrying thing, although there's always been a certain amount of it privatised (pharmacies, opticians). It turns out 6% of the NHS budget is currently outsourced to private companies. ...

The standard of living has gradually risen from decade-to-decade in a lot of countries. Yes, as a country we aren't that badly off if we're honest. Much better than many people in the world. IIRC we don't even pay that much tax compared to some other Western countries. Agreed on the comments about h...

The big con of this tory government is to have been able to blame the worldwide currency collapse onto the Labour government! What makes me suspicious is that Labour didn't even deny it, They certainly weren't responsible for what you rightly call a global event, but they did know it was going to h...

Unfortunately, to a large extent we get the government were deserve. We demand lower taxes while insisting on more public services, more infrastructure, more for the needy, the latest medical care and then insist we should retire at 60 to a comfortable state pension. We all want something for nothin...

Pity Labour wouldn't go far enough, they should do what the French have done with respect to actually taxing the wealthiest in society properly - the ones who don't want to pay can fcuk off out of the country! Apparently that is exactly what has happened in France - in response to higher taxation a...

Rimmerbros have the fork but the shaft is NLA:

Appears to be the same as a 600 diesel and an 820, though.

86rpm! One of those would be great for running large hole saws in metal.

Have you been reading the MIG Welding forums? Your post could be a quote from there any day of the week

It's a good place for info on older machines.

That sounds right. You'd be liable if incorrect fitting caused the failure or if you supplied the clutch as suitable for what he did with it. It sounds like neither is the case. You might want to point that out without rubbing it in and hurting his pride and then offer a compromise solution. Assumin...

Blasting requires serious volumes of air. From the discussions I've seen, people wanting to blast something the size of car wheels or body panels usually end up with a diesel road compressor...

800's like a lot of large, thirsty petrol cars have become much rarer than they were five years ago.

Second vote for the 3HP one

There are loads of roads with a 60mph speed limit where you'd crash into the ditch doing much more than 30

Fast cars can go slowly, but slow cars can only go slowly. It's a bit like giving loaded guns to kids and telling them they can point them but must not pull the trigger

Obvious troll is...

If you're young, inexperienced and prone to drive enthusiastically then FWD and the slower then better for safety. You will crash whatever you're driving so better to do it at a lower speed. Also, a car that doesn't grip well makes for a shallower learning curve in car control. A shitbox on skinny t...

Interesting to hear BP predicting this could last for years. I didn't think any party had enough cash to sit it out that long. It's not just shale and tar sands that are unprofitable at current oil prices, lots of deep-water stuff is as well. Most North Sea production is also unprofitable. OGUK are ...

Yep, nothing performs like copper/brass for a rad of a certain size. It's unconventional in the automotive world but you can also make intercoolers from it. I would not of thought he would have a problem with me posting a trade add as I have been trying to get it sorted ill happily pay it once he ge...

Jon's away at the moment - I'm sure he'll get back to you when he gets back and sorts though his inbox...

Down to $45/barrel. Several petrol stations in the midlands have reportedly reduced prices to just under £1/litre. At the moment this is estimated to be only a marketing ploy as the price of wholesale unleaded is currently around 99p/litre. However, average petrol price is predicted to break the £1 ...

If you get desperate and only need to do a couple, print the invoice in Sage without the new text, then bung the paper back in the printer and reprint it using MS Word with the new text in the right position on the page...

True. I was thinking of when Blair went kissing Gadhafi's boots... The Saudis are/were suspected of financing Osama Bin Laden's operation and more lately of ISIS, hence I wouldn't have thought the U.S. would have much to do with them. I could well be wrong on both points. The Economist article seeme...

The Economist article does not appear to support the theory of a U.S. led conspiracy to screw Russia and Iran. It's hard to imagine the U.S. and the Saudis co-operating on anything... The summary of the article is: Iran & Venezuela = stuffed U.S. = badly hit Russia = slightly hit Saudis = Overal...

Yep, this week the price passed this milestone and is currently trading at $49. Back when it was $60 the lowest U.S. price I heard of was $1.77/gal, which works out at 27p/litre. My local Tesco was at £1.09 yesterday. Fuel duty is £0.58p and VAT at 20% So the actual fuel price is 29p/litre. Prices a...

I too thought the door handles looked like Rover ones...

I didn't know it was on... A job for OnDemand methinks.
