What made you happy today?

Its takes more than 5 years to fix 12 years of damage lol, I fact I reckon it'll take more than 10 years to fix properly, if its fixed at all.

The NHS needs a kicking, it needs to have a management cull, it needs to be the same across the uk, it also needs to be honest about what it will spend money on.... There have been cases where people are pissed off because the NHS wouldn't spend £100k on chemo that would add 6 months to the life of a terminal cancer sufferer. While its crappy they could spend a load less on morphine and get the same net result. Human life has a price and they need to make it very clear what that is, if I get dealt the same deal I'll take it.

its not so much that,i have friends and family in the nhs and they are overworked and underpaid.Their bosses have payrises and bonuses as fat penpushing muppets yet the frontline staff who deal with the stuff day in day out had their pay frozen for how many years????
Disgusting tbqh.
the damage is done by silverspoonfed public schoolboys who have absolutely no idea about the real world (whatever "party"((im not enjoying the party))theyre in)
Tory take for granted our policemen and women.our nurses,our firefighters,and every other tax payer.The best bit? if youre non dom then use all them services and live on our shores but contribute nothing.And fukktards like edd think benefits is the problem:confused:

lol jeez calm down

Plus if there is a need to cut £12bn from welfare I would say there is a problem wouldn't you?

And Labour's answer to problems is throw money at it...usually money we don't have. The Tories have no choice but to make cuts to the public sector. When Labour were in they created thousands of unnecessary jobs in the public sector costing the country millions.

Why should public sector workers be guaranteed an annual pay increase? Private sector workers are paid according to the performance of the company. If the NHS was a private company it would have gone bust a long long time ago so really its employees are actually lucky. The management of the NHS needs ****ing up and down, but people seem to forget another major issue with it...the vast quantities using the service and not paying in. Admittedly no political party is showing any interest in resolving that.

Why would any high earners want to pay tax here? I know I certainly wouldnt, its ridiculously high

ok.... i'm going to wade in there andy...

ever wondered why we have PCSO's...??? because the police unions were so militant that they wouldn't allow their members to walk the beat.... the govt came up with an alternative...
what about private prisons??? oh, yeah... militant prison officers unions banning all sorts of things so they needed so many staff that the prisons had more officers than inmates (1st hand experience as we worked for 9months of a year at the training college & had to rip out all the equipment as it got 'risk assessed'
fire brigade.... they pay them a full time wage for a 48hr 'watch' per week... this includes sleep, meals, etc... so they get paid for 2 days work.. ok, once every couple of years they have a massive dangerous fire to deal with, but the rest of the time they all earn cash from gardening or lorry driving (in our area) and every time the govt attempt to streamline it, they strike immediately, which is rich, as most of the time they are glorified lorry valeters... ps. they also went on strike in 2001 because of 911 and they found out what american firemen earnt...
NHS.. wards are run by women, and the bitchiness is rife... middle management are utterly useless, upper management are even worse... duplication of services is massive, GP's hold it all to ransom... frontline staff get the sh!t end of the stick all the time... it needs massive reform. all politicians know it, but they also know that anyone who tries to privatise any part of it is committing political suicide..
benefits & housing..... sadly, we are drowning under the cost of this... all the eastern europeans came over to work cos there are a few million people who simply can't be ar$ed to work, and get more than enough in benefits to cover their lifestyle... i know a bloke who hasn't worked for 25+ years... he was banging on at me about benefits & i told him 'i pay your wages! you should be round my house every morning asking me what odd jobs need doing!' i've never seen a penny in dole, i don't expect any... i've done tons of work on council estates... considering the unemployed have tons of spare time on their hands, they rarely clean up anything.

Striking, its ghey, but I'd have a hint of respect for them if the fire fighters actually manned their picket lines. The ones round here have a sheet over the sign saying 'closed'... Tits.

For me personally the election result is EXACTLY what I wanted

No Labour
No SNP

Bring on the EU referendum

I'm a bit on the fence about the eu thing.... I think being in as far as we are is a good thing (easy holidays, working, buying shizz and so on) but the regulation and fees aren't quite right IMHO.

maybe if we can step back a few paces but not bail completely

lol youre on drugs.
and good luck to the the even stupider prices for your ringer sport bahahahaha
take up autograss instead.drive the car properly lol

Any hard working, tax paying English man will obviously vote Conservative :d

being a midlander, i'm from a large group of employed people who resent that scotland gets twice the amount of money per head in public spending than we do.....

Labour are like chavs, they only seem interested in big towns & cities, the country people have been hung out to dry so many times by them over the years that we don't feel represented by them. the lib-dems round here are all old hippies & teachers, and they really don't seem much use, so by default the tories won again

I'm happy that the SNP wiped out all but 3 sets pity about who's running the country again though..

Conservatives seem only interested in the south.what was it they said before??
"Consider moving to the south to find work"
Patronising cunnts.
"Were going to reward hard work"
What,by taking more tax off us and rewarding those who are richer with tax cuts?!
You couldnt make it up

Labour have had plenty of chances and have always ****ed it up, they ain't a working class party in the slightest, they are spineless bunch of idiots reaching out to jobless benefit bums in an attempt to win votes. Offering to raise the minimum wage to £8 is retarded attempt to get voters, all that would do is lose people their current jobs and prevent employeers from taking anyone on. Not to mention it would hike the cost of living for everyone. Plus if they had the option they would of taken any deal possible for power probably bringing in the SNP and let's be honest here.... **** that!

Best party for the future of the country won hands down not a desperate party willing to promise anything and everything to get power so they can the send us into another recession and probably another pointless war. People whinging about the last term not been great, wake the **** up and realise it's because labour ****ed it, screw ups of that magnitude can't be fixed over night, we are coming out of recession and employment is on the rise. My suggestion to any uphappy labour voters is get off your lazy **** and find a ****ing job! or stfu and enjoy jeremey kyle.

ummm they certainly helped with it..... they went and borrowed billions from banks to give to failed banks to save them.....
and this is after they actually lowered the banking regulators powers, which allowed banks to borrow way more than their previous limits compared to their asset holding....the tories had always kept strict limits on the banks... the exact same thing happened before the wall st crash in 1929, when british & american bankers convinced governments to limit the regulators powers & it proves that both history repeats itself, and politicians don't always listen.

oh, and gordon brown stole a huge chunk off private pensions... i've had one since i was 20 & i'm not happy that i'll lose a huge chunk because of him.

the other half has agreed to go view some full grown English mastiffs.......and ive found a guy with one local who also has a puppy so hopefully her heart melts and I can buy one of my dream dogs :)

Gearbox works :)

Engine works :)

our firm bought a tractor cheap at a farm sale because its hydraulic lift arms were not going up or down.....
the considered wisdom is that it takes £500 in parts, and about the same in labour to remedy this fault...
i got my trusty multimeter out & found no power going to the up & down solenoids, i pulled the control panel apart, and traced all the wires that could cause this... lo & behold, under a panel on the other side of the tractor was a mouse nest & they'd chewed thru some wires... 3ft of wire, a dozen crimp terminals, some tape & a new fuse..... total value about a fiver... my labour £30.... and it works like a new'un....



oh, and the hydraulic arms on this tractor have a bosch ecu that is labelled hydrotronic, and looks identical to a nova gte ignition ecu!!! lol i don't think it is though

Great score!/\

The GT4 not smoking quite as much as it did when I first took it out after the new rebuilt turbo lol

Should mean its not the turbo, thank feck. The front section exhaust has been replaced from a breaker, it had a good quarter inch deep layer of oil in it (that'll be why the car was broken then! lol) so should be just that being burnt off.

Looking fresh cooper
