when we all drive electric cars will the same amount of tax be slapped on electric?

So glad im moving 5 miles closer to work next week cutting my fuel bill in half over night. I'm predicting the riots will start when we hit about £1.65 a litre.

Texaco at muckly corner outside lichfield didnt have a car on the forecourt as i pulled in to top up my punctured tyre with air. Not surprised as its £1.47 for diesel there.

do you have kids? i'd like to see you send your child to nursey and still pay for all other bills. My mrs works full time and is the mother of a 3 year old that has no help at all off the father. Her nursery fee's are about 450 per month so without her tax credits her only choice would be to not work and claim all the other benefits and live for free. Things are not as black and white as you make out. i know i was simplifying it a bit, but how did people previously cope? When did tax credits start, 1990's? So what happened before then? i'm just wandering if you set up the whole benefits system from scratch now, would it be designed very differently? yes, i have 2 kids - a 2 year old at nursery, and a 4 month old. we would have got tax credits under Labour (£66k income limit?), but Tories reduced the threshold just as we would have started to claim (£44k income limit?). yes, tax credits are nice to have, but are they really necessary at the level they are at? i think the whole point of them is to make it more attractive for mothers to go back to work. Me and the mrs are moving into a house next thurs so its only recently i've had an opionion on them. To put it blunt we will be screwed without them we bring in about 32k a year between us and with the price of living going up and i also have a 3 year old from a previous relationship to support. We are buying the house and the tax credits are playing a big part in us being able to do that and so we are very gratefull of them. I'd be intersted to know how much taxpayer money is thrown at non uk citizens with no jobs?

2 year base rate tracker... with the financial crisis in europe and spain entering recession today our interest rates wont climb very high if at all in the next couple years.

this is a problem with vinyl but if all you want is to do it as a bit of fun to start with playing to your mates at a bbq then imo vinyl is best to start off then add some cdj's at a later date once you have mastered the beatmatching.

forget any software, laptop mixing is boring bullshit. When you blend 2 vinyls together knowing it was all you it feels amazing, clicking a mouse to mix 2 tunes is no harder than writing a post on this forum.

disagree with this, if you buy anything other than 1200's or 1210's you will end up replacing what you bought with 1200's or 1210's within a year or so. Their accuracy is 2nd to non which is why they are the industry standard.

imo its best to learn to beat match on vinyl then you can add cd decks later on. Get yourself on ebay and look into getting some technics 1210's and a pioneer djm 500 mixer they wont cost the earth 2nd hand. Rig them up through a half decent stereo at home and get yourself a bundle of house records and start playing around. Depending on how much you practice you should be doing half decent mixes within a few months. If you do start on vinyl dont buy any decks other than technics 1200's or 1210's. Vinyl is more expensive to buy but will give you much more satisfaction. If you have a 4 chanel mixer you can add a couple of cd decks to your set up when your ready.

**** knows why its that big sorry about that!

im sure he had his reasons, maybe he did it for a family member or someting like that. Does anyone really care? lock the pointless thread

Regardless of how it turned out, I don't think the Houllier appointment was a bad one at the time. We'd just had our manager walk out on us right before the start of the season. There weren't really that many options available to us at that time. Houllier did have a fair bit of success and while he had health issues I distinctly remember him being passed fit by his doctor. In hindsight it might look a bad appointment, but as I said, at the time, I don't think it was bad at all. McLeish on the other hand was as you said, a skull-caver. He'd just gotten SHA relegated after they were looking safe only a few months before. His teams play dire football and he came straight from SHA. While I don't think his SHA connections matter, it did to some people and I'm pretty sure Randy and Faulkner would have had the foresight to know that appointing him with all those things in mind would certainly ruffle a few feathers. Not only that but there were definitely better candidates out there. I just don't understand what their rationale was. It was possibly one of the most bizarre managerial appointments in history. The other head scratcher is that the appointment came after we were interested in talking to Martinez, who is the complete opposite to McLeish football wise in just about every single way. Yeah, that's another thing. Doesn't make any sense. They clearly weren't using style of football as criteria when looking for a new manager, nor was success a criteria (obviously). So what was their main criteria? nobody else wanted the job

Nice one and good luck. I have learned a lot whilst Internet dating but my experience with my current girlfriend has been the best. Although I had been on plenty of dates I was her first, her mate who put her on there had been on loads of dates and was unaware that she was meeting me and was not happy as she wanted to give her all the advice of do's and donts on a date. We actually felt this worked in our favour because for me she came across easy going and relaxed so it flowed easy. When she told her mate about the date she started coming out with all this "you shouldn't have done this and that to the point Clair said she said she glad she didn't know as she would have been more defensive. Most people I know who have met their partner online have done so when one or both we new to it so not going to give you any advice. I am moving in with my girlfriend next month so moving to lichfield, really strange how life just suddenly changes like this. i also met my mrs on pof and we are very happy. When we are ready we would also both like to move to lichfield
