  1. See that is an example of what I mean. When I last filled up with Diesel last week I paid 99.9p per litre. The price of crude was at $97 - This week you are saying its at 107.9p/litre ( I haven't filled up yet locally so I cant compare the rise just yet) and the price of crude is $99. So, we are seeing an 8% price rise at the pumps for the fuel yet only a 2% rise in the price of crude. We are getting shafted! ( did I say that already )
  2. In response to the first post of this thread .... Do you remember when they found a body under the stairs at Fred West's house? Apparently, it was the 1956 Irish Hide & Seek Champion
  3. Despite my better judgement than your better judgement, don't say 'we' elect the government when there is absolutely no way I would ever vote labour. The fact is at the last election, only 61% eligible to vote went to the polls and the majority actually voted the Conservatives in! But due to the way the country is carved up in seats, labour won. Labour achieved a 66-seat majority despite securing only 35% of the vote. Proportional representation would have seen a different government that what we have now. So your statement on the 'majority' is a load of tosh in this instance. On the subject of fuel, you need to bear in mind that as oil is traded in US$, and with the exchange rate being around the 2$=
  4. You can't but help admire the way the Japanese respect their great ones
  5. That's a good point and one that I must say crossed my mind however, I doubt HRC are holding a gun to his head to sign. If they want him and Beta wants him, and if money is not his motivator in this instance, then the choice will be what bike & team is best positioned to give him the ride he needs to make that 100th+ win he no doubt craves. There could be others in there fighting for him as far as we know until something official comes out.
  6. Yes and I'm Still bitter about it alright !
  7. You must seriously be taking the **** ! You want me to admire the French for going out on strike! That's certainly not style in my book
  8. I read this letter in the local rag and thought it was spot on. What do you think? Common Sense is now dead and buried. Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense. No-one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come out of the rain and why the early bird gets the worm. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults,not children are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six year old boy charged for sexual harassment for kissing a classmate and teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the jobs they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realise coffee is hot. She spilt a little in her lap and she was promptly awarded a huge settlement. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing. Name & Address supplied
  9. Get yer eyes above her neck and look again man !
  10. So the question is, IF Dougie moves to Beta, how many 4rt riders will be making the switch to a REV3 or 4??
  11. Andy... I think he wants something !
  12. Is it just me or does that pose make her look like Miss Piggy ?
  13. Awwwww come on Andy, You are only miffed coz Ross & I said that Gemma Atkinson was better looking than your favourite Danielle Lloyd
  14. I would use it to your advantage! It won't be a year or so before it gets here so unless his behaviour is impeccable until then he has no chance! Give him time to save up his pocket / paper round / car cleaning / grass cutting / money
  15. I think many people would like to see Doug ride a Beta again- I know I have seen it written in these forums a few times. I hope it's true! There was too much stuff written about him retiring but I would love to see him keep going. Hes still one of the top 5 riders in the world after all.
  16. With all due respect, Dougie would do much more for Beta than Fajardo could. I can't see that getting in the way if these rumors have any foundation.
  17. I wouldn't have deleted it if someone else put it up. Its no more revealing than the Hawkstone babes pics Shame she weren't in the competition
  18. I couldn't tell any difference between the switch settings on mine. I use to have it on the sunny setting hoping that it had some magic power to alter the weather
  19. AHHHH So THIS is why you are watching it! Now it makes sense
  20. Well, you know they are decommissioning Sizewell .......
