  1. all manner of places, it really is as flippantly simple as googling PCH but this site is quite good for getting a starting idea of what costs what... Car Leasing
  2. Sounds perfectly reasonable, but not quite what my understanding of suicide doors was. I thought that with the doors hinged to the middle of the car then if something hit the door, it smashed it shut, potentially with you in the act of getting in or out. Whereas, a car clipping your front hinged door just rips the door off. But essentially the same message.
  3. Big market, Turkey. Sort of place we need to be cosying up to post Brexit. A special deal on visas and who knows, they might set up a Beko fridge freezer production line here somewhere.
  4. To set the scene for yesterday's game - when Town were going down the toilet a few years ago, Risca Utd brought along a banner that read 'bye bye, Risca seagulls shit on Barry Island'. This season, Risca are bottom of the league and already mathematically relegated. They have clearly gone in to money saving mode and were playing 3 or 4 of their academy kids. In a freak incident during the game yesterday there was a clash between a Risca defender and his own goalkeeper that resulted in the GK being subbed off. No first choice 'keeper and a bunch of kids. So, with no love lost between the clubs, and the potential of goal difference being like an extra point: 11:0 .... eleven **** nil. If anything it killed the atmosphere, only revived on the 9th goal going in and people chanting 'we want ten'. Absolute scenes. Most other teams and we'd have probably soft peddled from half time rather than risk an injury ahead of Tuesday evening's game. Due to the goal difference, we probably only need 2 points from our last three games. 3 points from 3 games and guaranteed promotion.
  5. I'd be up for it if I had my faculties. If I knew what was going on it would be fantastic. If you just spent 20 or 30 years being fed liquidised food and having your arsed wiped then not so much.
  6. It's the 'christian values' of the 'traditional conservative' where you wear your best hat and gloves to church and aspire to be the most conformist straight stick up the arsed person there. You take a pound out from your Vitton designer purse and roll it across your designer gloved fingers before dropping it on to the collection plate for the poor. The sort of vicar's daughter's values that give you chills, as you wonder about the lost morals of the National Trust, whilst happily selling bombs to murderous middle eastern despots.
  7. It would be a shame if their stuff is old or fake and we can't sell them anything.

  9. Big few days coming up for my local lot. The maths are set up that with 4 games of the season left, 2 wins means certain promotion, 3 wins means promoted as champions. We've a home game tomorrow against the team relegated and bottom of the league (yep, that's got banana skin written all over it) then another home game Tuesday evening against a mid table team with nothing much to play for, they're going to finish somewhere between 8th n 12th. If we get promoted, that'll be 3 promotions in 4 seasons since being fan owned. Not too shabby.
  10. Found a great new location for my meth lab. Completely normal suburban house, knocking out kilo’s of the stuff from a facility we’ve excavated under the garden. Had to dig out the garden when the east European knocking shop expanded in to the attic. Couple of false walls and you wouldn’t even know it was there. Clean it up once in a while for the ‘inspection’ and job’s a good ‘un.
  11. Loving being the only person in the office that didn't spot the opportunity for an even longer weekend.
  12. How the world loves a charismatic strong man. It's weird, human development. How we can consider flight to Mars and discover graphene, yet so many just want to fall in behind the biggest baddest ape and be told what to do.
  13. I love the part at 1 minute 9 seconds where the female interviewer points out the cruise missiles were unmanned. I for one did not know that. I presumed there were dwarfs or jockeys in them.

  15. If you're a regular flier it's less likely to happen (I imagine Tony H can correct me on that one if it's bogus). I used to commute by plane for a while (oh yeah, Mr rock n roll). Never once was I asked to stand down, saw plenty of others stood down, but never the guy that flew every Monday and Friday. They always selected people with no booking history. Same with hotels. They sometimes over book deliberately. Also, here's where I'm going to upset someone...I have an account with Accor hotels (Ibis, Novotel, Mercure) where I'm guaranteed a room at 24 hours notice. Now, I suspect they do not keep empty rooms in case regulars turns up. I suspect they bump people out of their hotel rooms too. I've used that card to book a room when others have been told the hotel was full.
  16. A couple of examples from when I was a mere slip of a yoof. I was driving along, went through a green filter arrow, 50 metres later there's a red light so I stop. A police car pulls up alongside and tells me to pull over on the other side of the lights. I did this, got out and he asks me why I went through a red back there. 'Ah!', I say, 'it wasn't red, there was a green filter, I went through the green, turned left not straight on'. He insisted it was red, I insisted it was green and it all began to get a bit heated. At the point I finally conceded, I said something vaguely along the lines of how I was really really sorry hadn't meant to and was sure I hadn't but he was the police and in power so sorry. At that point his chum chipped in before the first officer could respond and said 'right, well now you've admitted it we can all move on, don't do it again'. Clearly good cop could see that bad cop was being a dick. Second one was a bit odd. Got stopped and accused of drink driving. Told them I hadn't had a drop in days but was happy to be tested. They said they didn't want to test me but I had to leave my car and walk home. I said I thought that was a bit odd, telling a drink driver to walk home rather than testing or arresting him. Conversation went on like that for a good few minutes. Eventually for some reason, I announced I was sober but bored and was getting in my car and going home. They stood there and watched me get in the car and drive off, never stopped me, never followed me. Weird.
