Re: The Big Short
... about it all.....I know I paid $500K for a 1000sq.ft house....WAAY more than it was truly worth....but no one forced me to buy it AND rent prices were doing through the roof so it made sense to buy....cheaper than renting at that time...so what else would be a smarter option.....I later sold and ...

Re: 19-20th May Almeria with BBS
I have managed to have one set last me three days, they were well used by the end, but lasted fine, that was soft dunlop's as well. However if you feel you need a spare set you can take a pair with you it will fit on the crate, secondly Gary always takes ...

Re: What you watching?
... III with Sir Ian McKellern, set in a facist state in the 1930's. It was Shakespeare Jim, but not as we know it..... and yes, I was surprised there were no Klingons on the starboard bow included. Completely bonkers, but brilliant adaptation.

Re: Insurance company caught out
... change, I can't help but suspect (from reading the article ) that this may actually be a case of a claim that they "knew" was fraud, but were simply struggling to prove it.? I have very little love for insurance companies, but I detest those scammers with a vengeance.

Re: Chihuahua or muffin?
... Couldn't agree more, it's horrible I watched a program a while back about dog breeds and one of them was to do with the British Bulldogs, they were very fit dogs nothing like how they are now, it really makes you sad/ angry when you think about it they are bred to have these problems now.

Re: What are you doing today ??
Oh and on the journey to town we saw (for what I can only think was) a Honda's owners club zooming around on their Blades, 600s and CB1000s they looked like they were having fun! Laying here I can here all the motorbikes zooming around the hills...I would love to find these roads they are enjoying!!

Re: Shoreham airshow crash enquiry

Re: Shoreham airshow crash enquiry
I worked on a fighter squadron (well two) for a number of years and I can tell you the displays they put on for air shows were heavy plan, risk assessed and practiced. Always first few times high and over water, then after numerous runs they would lower to display height still over ...

Shoreham airshow crash enquiry

Re: Free IAM Taster Sessions
I've been put off this by the feedback i had from a colleague who went with the local group.
He reckoned they were fine on the training but went out for a long ride with them later and they rode like complete pillocks.
