  1. Well played @101 - a disappointing lack of action on this thread (me included) of late. It’ll be my summer mission to contribute meaningfully over the next 6 months or so. You can all thank me later for my selfless sacrifice.
  2. I think that's the nub of the issue. To want Scotland to be a Tory MP free zone (which Yousaf didn't say) is a perfectly fair political statement; but to want Scotland to be free of Tories (which Yousaf did say), to my sensitive sensibilities, crosses a line.
  3. He (sorry, his family) are bigger Tories than the rest of us. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/24189264.humza-yousaf-facing-questions-undeclared-family-rental-properties/
  4. Genuine question - if the game is cancelled at noon, Sky have lost the match anyway, they won’t broadcast the replay (or will they?) so why not just delay ko until 3/4pm? Everybody else is there and ready to go, even if a few hours late.
  5. I put it down to the importation of a fashion to try and look like Aussie rules players. And me being less than fashionable myself I just shrugged it off, it’ll pass. That’s the trouble with fashions - they quickly go out of fashion.
  6. 1 and 2 blasts mean I want to pass you on the port/starboard side and 3 means I'm going into reverse. By the time you get to 7 blasts everyone should be thinking ‘oh shit, summats up!!’
  7. Met a bird in the boozer last night, she was wearing wellingtons and a boiler suit and she fucking reeked of elephant shite. I think she’s a keeper…
  8. Listen ya coupla fannies - @Florentine_Pogen and @Leith Green, if you were lucky enough to even be in the same room as Mrs a-p MkII, you too would be up and over like a pan of milk...
  9. The early bird may indeed get the worm but it’s always the second mouse that gets the cheese.
  10. Until the neighbour’s dug starts complaining about the smell.
  11. Acht well. No obvious goalscorer on the park, no real grounds for complaint. Although the high defence line did seem a bit wild.
  12. I think this all rather backs up my 'if buying at distance buy Approved Used' mantra. Yes, you are paying top dollar but - the hypothesis, so far proven in my experience - you are buying a well looked after car with no (ok, negligible) chance of any nasty surprises.
  13. If you’re needing to test drive then I think a distance purchase is maybe something of a leap. However if there’s a shortlist that you want to narrow down, go read some reviews from car journalists. If you’re focusing on one particular segment (eg hot hatches) then chances are somewhere there will be a head to head group test that will help immeasurably. These guys do it for a living and are an immeasurably bigger bore on the subject than even me. They know what they’re talking about The final piece of advice is, if you are buying from distance, don’t get the puny engine. It’ll inevitably be a disappointment.
