Hi paddy, yeah under turrets, sills gone (were hiding under goo) bits where seat belts anchor have totally rotted away! Found a clean shell already so will be chopping old one up and selling some of the bits - the doors are very good, as is the boot.

I'm glad the engine will find another home, the shell had a lot of welding when being built I always thought you knew and I didn't like to say, good luck with the build though
having to fill in a police form cos some coffin dodger backed out of as parking space into my trailer, and cos I wouldn't give him any insurance details as I wasn't going to claim off him, he reported my for driving without due care & attention, failing to stop at an accident scene & failing to report an accident. I was stationary & he did no damage worth bothering with!!!!!!!

ok, go ask your insurance first to see if they can do this without getting the police involved, and if not, just get the rozzers involved.
Would prefer cops instead of insurance, don't want to risk any premium problems...? :(
Amazingly. .. this afternoon I was talking with a friend of the wife who is going thru the same thing. The big problem is getting the info and using it to get it sorted. The rozzers will only be interested in prosecution and not in getting it fixed. She has had to fill in some forms and send several forms of id so they can make a legal request for the other car owners details.

well that's the thing I didn't mind when I was getting paid for it, money was really good tbf but I was always told to stick it and stay with them it will get better...it feels like its getting worse still doing the same work and now im getting less money. **** me I was training people for them and getting nothing extra for it not long back..
unless a manager gets back to me with some good news its time to review the cv and start looking about again
Was gonna say, isn't an unpaid lunchbreak pretty much standard fare? Our T&Cs here take into account an unpaid lunch (i.e. 37 hour week) but our annual salary is broken down to an hourly rate as if you had an hour lunch every day (i.e. salary / 52 / 42) :mad:
Annoyed me today - people buying/selling houses. Namely sellers who are mugwumps and other buyers who jump in and out of the process like they're playing hopscotch. And estate agents too.
Might just go buy a new car instead. lol
One place where I was clocked in/out they had an enforced 60 mins lunch that you couldn't edit... So come lunch time I'd stop or leave site for 60 mins, even walking out of meetings that didn't have food included lol My T's and C's said I have an unpaid hour, they get an unpaid hour from me. Suffice to say I left there ASAP lol
Sure where I am now takes into account an hours lunch but its not clocked and everything is flexible.
Doing my survival training and going offshore was the best thing I've ever done. 2 weeks on 2 weeks off every month on full pay. Fair enough I'm on 24hr call while out there but not like I have anything else to do lol. Only downsides for me are been away from my family and friends, the helicopter trips to and from the rigs and having to travel up and down from Scotland constantly. Other than that it's great. Not to mention they massively over pay you lol.

Nobody can get a job, nobody speaks English, education suffers, crime rates go up, things go missing etc etc etc
This government needs booting out.They making cuts on the nhs,which is bursting at the seams,understaffed,overworked and over populated.
Housing-no affordable homes,higher demand of rent means higher rents,which is daylight robbery.More rental homes means nobody has a sense of community,as they don't stay where they live for long.Jobs-wages are low and the cost of living is higher than ever vs wage packets.
Theres generations of fukk ups from both labour and conservatives.
Imo there should be politicians who are from a proper working class background,from a council estate working for NMW,then they would know how things are.

But many of the immigrants are doing the 'low end' jobs that career doley Brits refuse to do as its not as good as living on benefits...... I'd welcome more immigrant WORKERS if we could chuck out the workshy (of all nationalities inc Brits)
As for working class folks running the UK, no! (It'll be unions ahoy and like 70's labour which did well for industry lol ) Business folks, yes. The UK needs running as a business properly.
why do we need a sense of community? We can care for our house/street/town without having to be mates with the whole estate lol we speak with our immediate neighbours maybe 6 times a year and that's usually 'hello', we've been here 8 years lmao.

They are all liars, none of them will help the country, none will help the NHS or the services we need..
We as a country are totally buggered.
Sadly the Tories are the best of a bad bunch.... Its not been a bad 5years, stuff still works etc why rock things when its a delicate flower of a recovery blah blah.
the NHS is a moot point, it needs management to be culled but no one has the balls to sort that
Considering the utter mess Labour left I think the last 5 years have been OK
Its a shame really, saw Nick Clegg on the last leg, he was some what impressive.
To be fair the current coalition hasn't been bad!!
NHS is a dead kipper, no party ever delivers what it promises pre election with the NHS!!!
If we had another 5 years with the current coalition then I wouldn't complain. As a director my companies have had the most successful 5 years we've ever had!!
Monster raving loony party for the win!!!
Monster raving loony party for the win!!!
Only party not to lie to us... I'd vote for them again.
labour are in the unions pocket... if they win hang on for a rocky ride... massive wage rises, rampant strikes
Ukip really shouldn't be trusted to be in power, they haven't got the experience, and certaqinly not enough policies...
SNP, Plaid Cymru, Greens... etc, are just local councils, albeit big ones.. they know how to spend, but don't know how to get money.

Currently broke on my Visa, and I'm unsure about measurements, seeing as the stores I went to claimed they were for a Nova but they were larger in diameter and would not fit. (As they were for Astra or Corsa B)
less than it could have been.... but hey the tories closed all the mines* so the north cries
*well ok they didnt but lets not bring up the details lol
nope.. it was Arthur scargill's( oh & he cost me an o level too, cos I fell out with a teacher & she would only put me in for cse social studies) followers who shut the pits.. their big mistake was to not allow engineers inside to keep the props & pumps working, so when they went back to work, there were no mines left... we had a large coal-field within 5 miles of where I lived, and it was ruined by the strike..
I'm glad ukip didn't get much power, a lot of what farage has said has been the truth, but an awful lot has also been crap. he somehow seems to bring the worst out of the british people.
Scotland have voted for a party that will do exactly feck all for them in Westminster, so let the shouting begin.. it will be nice to see that wee jimmy krankie on the telly again though lol

I appreciate the Tories have made a big point of it but Labour left a note saying "There is no money", Labour being blasé about the very real problems the country faced in 2010
and an insight into how Labour think.
Mr Rich is exactly right? When your credit is maxed up to the limit you have to pull back on the spending or face disaster. If people think it's tough now, it would have been even tougher had Labour carried on in 2010 with their spend spend spend policy. Lest we not forget that Ed Balls was chief asvisor to the treasury when Gordon brown was chancellor. Labour did indeed lead us to the brink of financial ruin. Austerity was and is the only answer, it won't be forever.
Personally, both my businesses have had the best last 5 years in our 15 year histories, work hard and you'll be rewarded, simple!!
Like or loath the Tories (along with Lib Dem) they've saved this country from economic ruin, something I don't think Labour would have been prepared to do, or let's be honest, allowed to do by their Union funders!!!
most people don't realise that there has been a large political project to create a totally federal europe run by socialist politicians.. this means one central government, one currency, one financial centre (i'll give you a clue, its not london) and one set of rules to run everything. it is a socialists dream.. now, to create such a utopia, it needs lots of things to happen, like ridding britain of its currency & banking industry.... the best way of doing this is to get the country so poor & debt ridden that it needs bailing out by the European central bank.. the only way they would be interested is if we get rid of the pound.. thus rendering our standalone banking industry irrelevant.. frankfurt becomes the big banking centre by default... it might sound like a conspiracy theory, but we genuinely were at the point of collapse in 2010.. under labour they'd already started to make british money look like euros ( 2 pound coin anyone?). we really were close to being dragged into this one nation europe thing.
they've done over lots of smaller countries. ireland, greece, spain, italy, portugal are in deep shyte.... france borrows so much from the germans that they will go along with anything they say.. if scotland manage to become independant, they will head to the eu to help fund it, but with no great big net wealth creating industries, they would end up in the crap too....
ok, i've probably painted a worst case scenario, but we joined the common market to be able to trade with france & germany, and the labour govt, of the time decimated our fishing industry to do it... it was meant to be a simpler way of buying and selling goods over the channel, nothing more... the politicians were wrong... now look at it.. our very national identity is being eroded by european rules that we have no control over.
as has been said before, the next 5 years are make or break for this country
It's not a conspiracy theory if it becomes reality mate!!!!
TBH those protestors would probably have had a barny no matter who got in. I bet for 99% of them it was just an excuse to cause a ruckus. I wonder how many of them actually voted lol
/\ none of them is my bet... its funny, but when any party except labour loses, there isn't a riot..
I am really getting pissed off with radio 5live interviewing every socialist in a 200 mile radius of Manchester so they can all bang on about how stupid everyone is, who didn't vote labour.....

watching one of those 'motorway rozzer' shows & the narrator says...
'the roads are much more dangerous at night...... nearly half of all fatalities happen in the dark'
how can it be more dangerous when obviously more than half of all fatalities happen in daylight??????
this is nearly as annoying as the time i heard a copper saying how dangerous drunk drivers were because 20% of all fatalities involve alcohol...
we know drunk drivers are bloody dangerous, but he used a fact that proved 80% of deaths are caused by stone cold sober drivers....
i don't mind safer roads, but i really don't like idiots that use statistics like... to use a famous quote... like a drunk uses a lamp-post... for support and not for enlightenment

Had the Lupo serviced - again - at a well known TDI specialist down my end.
Set up an appointment well over 3 weeks prior to the service, just to make sure they could book me in. Gave them a time frame of 4 days to get the job done, which would be not much more than 5 hours worth of work. Despite this, they didn't get the car finished in the agreed time. Never received a call saying "we can't make it" or whatever. Anyway after several phonecalls from my side, they finally had the car ready albeit one day late.
When I went to collect the Lupo, the place had closed but they had parked the car roadside with the keys in a secure place for me to collect them. They left the bill inside the car, for me to pay when I would get home. Admitted, I appreciate this.
Upon checking the bill, I noted they didn't carry out all the work as agreed. And they changed oil and filter - despite me telling them multiple times it need not be done - because I already did this less than a month ago. That's about £90 fully synthetic oil and filter down the drain. Morons. Being decidedly pissed off about all this, I have tried calling them several times but every time they slam the phone and don't reply to voicemail messages.
Anyway I sent them an email about all this asking them to explain their actions and make up a correct bill for the work done, as well as a refund for the oil and filter I didn't ask them to change. Until then, they are going to have to wait for my payment. Sales acts and that.
Getting seriously pissed off with this POS VAG money pit. The car has cost me more in one year than my 3 previous cars combined in 8 years. German build quality... yeah right.

Visited the "El Cafe" pub in Brussels with the significant other half. During the course of the evening, we ordered a load of drinks. At one point the girlfriend goes off to the loo, meanwhile I turn my back to have a chat with someone. Look back, and found one of the staff had removed my girlfriend's untouched glass of wine. Slightly annoyed I went to the lady behind the bar, only to be told "I can't do anything about it". She didn't even bother to say sorry and turned her back. What a ****. Prior to this, we wanted to order two massive meals but we left instead. Their loss. Tossers. Rant over. (well for today anyway haha)
