    Every now and again I get the desire to buy a bit of 80's nostalgia. Namely a fully loaded Granada. My Dad used to have one when I was little, a gold one with beige velour interior.

    The daddy was the 2.8i Ghia X Executive, but as rare as hens teeth. I think the one below is the non exec model.

    Mint one is about £8k - £10k

    Rover SD1 3500 VDP, a memory from my youth.  I wonder?

    Ok so we took the plunge and have just reserved a pup- male chocolate cocker. 

    Im very excited about it as is my son and wife. 

    Looked at labradors and beagles but the cocker won through. Mum is gorgeous and very placid. Let's hope son is the same! 

    Cant wait :) 

    As @rjw63 would say pics or GTFO.

    looking to replace our Springer Spaniel we lost last year with someone a little calmer to hopefully have a positive effect on the Springer we still have.

  3. Just got back from a week there, island is beautiful and everything you imagine from the postcards and idyllic images you see.

    however be careful of the wind speed at Thira Airport as like us you could be delayed by 26 hours if the cross winds are over 20 knots.  On Saturday night all 6 planes were diverted to Heraklion meaning c1,000 people were crammed into the tiny airport.

    I'll be honest ,I'm a bit insulted that I appear to have been used as your example of VT's only myopic / unbalanced person  ...more so when I'm replying to someone who is convinced Corbyn is going to win !!

    @tonyh29 I quoted @Chindie not @darrenm, I will apologise profusely if you feel I have insulted you, not my intention.

    She'll still romp home.

    And as for polls... You have to bear in mind that the gap between Labour and Tory is so huge it's unlikely to be in error, and that doesn't account for the shy Tory effect which always has a part to play.

    And the obvious sloganeering? Some people see through it. Many many more will have it ringing in their ears in the polling station as a Tory landside is locked in.

    See @Chindie this is what I don't understand, other than @tonyh29, the remainder of this balanced forum can see through the rhetoric and bluff so why can't the rest of the electorate.

    Are there significant other shy tories who don't comment or is Villatalk a hotbed of socialism.

    @tonyh29, I am sure you can see through the obvious click baits but just using you as an example of somebody who is not shy of expressing their political views.

    Defintely one of the main things that pissed me off working behind a bar, similarly someone that comes to the bar stands in front of the lager taps (none of which are Carling) and asks for a pint of Carling, actually while i'm at it someone that comes in and ask for a pint of lager. This day and age there are very few pubs that have one lager on.

    And a lot of chains also charge more for the go to brands, Fosters and Carling than other more premium lagers, as you ask for a lager, Fosters/Carling ok and you say yes and by default have chosen to purchase a more expensive pint.

  7. Tried looking back over previous threads but can't find one, so apologies if not the right thread.

    I have a dormant pension from previous employment with one of the larger pension providers, and have been advised/had it suggested to move it into a SSAS, where I will be the 5th trustee. 

    Does anybody have any advice/thoughts that could help me make up my mind whether this is the right thing to do?

  8. I have just left First Utility after my fixed term ended, as Davkaus says get your usage data and tariff, plug it into comparison sites, and see what you could save.

    I have moved to Bristol Energy, all online.

    I predict a 3-0 win but Bruce to resign in shame having failed to achieved the predetermined required percentage of possession.

    Oh you little rascal you

    Yeah, vs Tamworth

    Game was appalling for 85 mins then livened up towards the end. Winning goal in the 93rd minute. I can actually see myself on the terrace behind the goal :)

     

    And a Robinsons Unicorn for good measure as well
