  1. just tweeked that for you I also have experience of SME house builders.
  2. The idea that small businesses and entrepreneurship and the rise of the privateer was anything other than for the good of bigger business is laughable. All those little people with their collective bargaining and standardised rates of pay. What an absolute brake on big business. Let’s convince them that rather than being a plasterer or a roofer that works for ‘Big Houses plc’ they actually need to buy their own van, do their own tax returns and still work for ‘Big Houses plc’, but now without sick pay, or annual leave, or a union, or an idea on whether they have any work on Monday. Self employed drones working for Uber are not small business start ups. They are people with minimal contract, to whom Uber owe the absolute minimum. In fact it’s switched the other way, they now owe a duty to the big company to get the work done or pay a fine. Only last weekend it transpired that ‘self employed’ delivery drivers for the likes of Waitrose face fines for phoning in sick. Welcome to entrepreneur’s Britain, putting the great back in rock n roll swindle. My main disappointment with the whole thing, is the ease with which such perennial self preserving selfish people can trick such a large portion of the population. Even down to things like persuading people they don’t need the nuisance of all this silly European rubbish about human rights or health and safety. Sign all that away and we’ll all be rich and happy and lightly sun tanned. Sure enough, 52% will sign up for that. We deserve whatever we get. We’ve voted for people with money and a sense of superiority and a lack of empathy to govern us. So that’s what we are getting. As long as only minorities are picked on at any one time, as long as 50.1% of voters can sense they might personally gain at the cost of others, then the tories can continue to pull off their perpetual con trick. If the **** N.I.C. is ‘unfair’ why not start clawing back some of the benefits the likes of Uber get, by not paying out what they’d have to if they actually employed people with an actual contract? No, they can maximise their profit, the lone driver can pick up the tax slack. It’s a brilliant deception in all fairness. Brilliant to say you’re doing it to be ‘fairer’. You’ve instantly won over all the selfish bastards who think they are suffering because Ahmed down the road pays 3% less national insurance. Suck it up tory voters, there’s more to come. One small group at a time. Just keep voting for them as long as others lose more than you do. The last effective group still standing that act with some sort of group think collective bargaining? Pensioners.
  3. I got there from Japanese porn. I wanted to see more and more crying but less pixilation.
  4. there's at least seven of us on here that have subscribed to the live feed it's the only reason I got a 3D tv
  5. 'tax and spend tory liars', that's another one I forgot to use I've also neglected to mention the rise in rates my local comprehensive school will incur if it gets solar panels fitted to the roof. If it was a private school, no charge. Ordinary tories just helping their ordinary chums.
  6. It was the will of the hard working great british public to vote for a party that simply and clearly stated in writing that they wouldn’t raise national insurance. It was there in writing in the pledges and commitments, should we vote them in. Only one constituency got to vote on who they wanted to be PM (inner mediashire). The PM is simply there to honour the will of the people, not undermine the fabric of society. To go against the will of the people that clearly voted for the party that pledged to this commitment would be an undemocratic act of deception by the enemies of the people. You cannot bend what was voted for. There should be no further debate. It's closed, join us or shut up. Even where what was actually being voted for may have been based on lies or half truths or a lack of decent honest information. Or have I got the last 8 or 9 months completely wrong?
  7. written commitment in tory manifesto at last general election 'no increase in National Insurance during the course of the next parliament' March 2017 budget 'National insurance to rise twice in next two years for self employed' same old same old
  8. This reminds me of a recent NHS slogan "#world's biggest Hunt".
  9. No, I’m not sure where you got that figure from? From what I’ve seen, as a % of GDP car exports make up approx 10% of all exports and car imports from the world make up approx 7% of our total imports (similar figures over several years in reports from SMMT, OECD, Parliament). But, that’s 10% of a lower figure for exports as we export less ‘stuff’ in total than we import (hence balance of trade deficit). In monetary terms it’s as close to equal as makes no difference, we win or lose depending on exchange rates. But that’s a comparator with total car imports not just the EU but USA and China, Japan and Korea and all of those. On a strict UK versus EU comparison any car based tariffs or trade war hurts both parties, but hurts us more. It’s a comforting popular brexiteer’s slogan to say BMW won’t allow a trade war. But whilst a ‘ban’ on beemers would hurt them, the equivalent would potentially close our industry down. But I’m sure there’s a secret deal to be done somewhere to stop that happening. It can be slush funded out from that money nobody ever really promised for the NHS.
  10. SMMT data (2016 data for 2015) Best year in a decade for British car exports. Despite a significant fall in exports to China and Russia, this was offset with a rise in exports to the EU. 77% of all cars made in the UK go to export. Of the cars exported, 57.5% go to the EU. Or, to put it another way, of every 100 cars made in the UK, 23 are sold in the UK, 44 in the rest of the EU 2016 to 2017 data: domestic market down 3.6%, export market up 10%
  11. I wonder if he planned to say that? If they had some sort of group think meeting with the policy people and the PR people and they decided the way to draw a line under all of this is to state that at least there's no proof he's actually a kiddy fiddler? Or, is that the sort of dynamic thinking on the run he's capable of all on his own? Either way, it's a great strap line for the next UKIP campaign: Nuttall lies about where he lives, his qualifications and whether good friends of his died at Hillborough, but they've never to date actually caught him bumming children.
  12. Baby steps for me here I'm afraid. Haven't got much of a clue what I'm listening to, hence starting off with tracks and albums that have something recognisable in them. I shall stick it back on... Delicious, though.
  13. John Coltrane, My Favourite Things. Perfect Sunday Morning music.
  14. These are the guys we are relying on to make up any shortfall in trade from deciding we don't need to be in the EU. Well, these guys and China.
  15. I don't think anyone is suggesting nobody in america should talk or do business with anyone in russia. I think someone was asked have you met with russians during the election process and accidentally answered 'no' when they innocently actually meant to say 'yes, twice'. It's an easy mistake to make. That others are worse or equally bad or similarly deceitful is not really the point, for me. What this has become is a whole system where 'truth' and 'honesty' are decided by political influence. A bit like in all those countries america tries to bomb and blackmail and terrorise into democratic freedom. Broken country. Bad system. Failing. Sad.
  16. 3D house printed for £8,000 took 24 hours to print, not the biggest house in the world, but the principle is established
  17. Family have their benefits doubled to pay for £360 Million house refurbishment, after 13 minute review.
  18. suspended between two trees, doing an amputee's stump dimple, whilst an array of clowns and forest based animals look on
  19. apparently this was used to record some album called Dark Side of the Moon and it's coming up for auction if anyone is interested... auction is at Bonhams I shall employ my usual tactic of a low £10.01 bid and hope nobody else has seen it..
  20. the primary purpose of listed companies is to make tangible return for the share holders anything other than profit for the owner is secondary
  21. I think mine went a bit 'funny' recently. But then I don't think I ever donated enough to have the level of privilege I was somehow getting. I'm described as 'full member' but I'm getting adverts and can't see what you're all saying about me in the clearing... Not a big deal, I'll sort it out one day some day when I get around to it. perhaps full member is just less of a complimentary term than I'd presumed...
  22. Yep, totally. I drive around in my little car, king of my own CD player. I often feel like I'm getting away with it and have that nagging niggling worry that eventually I will be 'found out'. Mentally, I still haven't progressed beyond boobs being endlessly funny and fascinating. But I do read The Observer which is very thin on boobage. Then, for a couple of days this week, I sit in on meetings in a Conceptual Designer's office in Clerkenwell. They're all sat there in hats and boiler suits and **** dungarees and oversized spectacles wondering if we can make the roof out of clear plastic rather than have lights....and I'm wondering if there are hidden cameras filming my reactions to all the shite they are coming out with.
  23. I've done it a few times and it's always worked out just fine. Met up with a bunch of guys in a hotel once. I must have gone well, I guess. Woke up two days later with forty quid tucked in my mask.
  24. Met a man on an internet forum and I'm going to his house to listen to jazz albums and drink red wine. What could possibly go wrong?
