well my mums got a 1.3 cdti ecoflex corsa, and a nice warm feeling inside, everytime she drives past a tree, knowing shes not killing it. surely saving the world is better than the buzz you can get from owning material goods.

not a slur, but why do have a 4 x4 if your not going off road, the weather in this country aint nearly bad enough to need one for navigating hilly mountain passes?.

no, not at all. if thats the case, you need to change jobs. im currently working as an untrained monkey, i just watch everybody else work their asses off doing my job for me

well technically on that front. 4800 calories = 1.3 lbs of fat. so your looking at 1.3 lb's of fat per week, so over 5 weeks, thats like almost half a stone. and thats before we mention the burger/kebab/pizza you eat on your way home drunk, the fry up you have in the morning to soak it up,and the fact you may just end up too hungover to ride properly the next day. oooo and dont forget the evils of pork scratchings and scampi fries. edit: forget to mention, sure someone older and wiser than me, once told me, that when you where drunk, you sleep in a way deeper state, and have a slower metabolism, because your bodies more relaxed than when its normally sleeping(hence the reason its harder to wake a drunk person, or you often wake up unable to function for a couple of minutes).

what you said there, may be correct, but your original statement of surface area divided by height would be wrong(well technically it would be correct, but its correct for any object in the entire world technically). quick example. your pyramid is 9 foot high, and each side is 12ft. therefore for that pyramid has a surface area of 72 sq' ft per side and a height of 9 ft. so its 72/9. so has a ratio of 8 however working it out in yards, the same pyramid is now 3 yards high, and each side is 4 yards long. the pyramid now has a surface areach of 8 sq yds per side, and a height of 3 yards. so its 8/3. and now has a ratio of 2.66 recurring. but their both the same pyramid,same dimensions, just measured in different units. and end up with totally different ratios. if you measured it in horses hands, youd end up with a different ratio again. another one for metres, inches, cm's, miles etc. so using an obscure enough unit, it would be true that surface area/height = pi to 7 digits. for any object in the world.

in the same kinda idea,in an episode when they went to america, he was really fat. so i think the stig that was used in them programs, was a regional stig. likewise there was a shot of a man dressed as the stig, in his helmet that clearly had a person with darker eyes, and possibly darker skin. but do you honestly think lewis hamiltons got time to film for top gear, as i think he does a bit of driving for a car racing team or something a few weekends a year.

so you can tell me whats on the midnight news now then?

lol, was away for the weekend. otherwise would of been in this thread. i dont think khans as bad as people are making out. not by a long shot, but hes not the world champion hes been billed up to be. hes still a hell of a fighter for his age. but its not like when he was 4 or 5 fights in, and everyone was like "world champ in 18 months" Id be suprised if he becomes a world champion in the next 3 years, if at all. Also to all the people saying he looks quick. well since his scare with willi limond, which was about a year ago.hes only fought one person under the age of 30. so of course hes going to look quick. and that person under 30, was 29. and was pretty much finished after his fight with katsidis. so much so, that he hasnt fought since he was beat by khan.

joe really enjoyed the day out with his carer's, when asked to comment on his pose in the photo, he explained " the cameras eye was made of glass, like a window, and i always lick windows, so it just seemed right"

it depends how your going to use it, if your using it as something to fall back on as an emergency, its useful(bear in mind genuine emergencies, not your mates are going out friday, and you want to go) or if your using it to buy stuff you already have the money for, then go for it. but if your using it to buy stuff on the premise that youll be able to afford them 4 months down the line. then dont get them. As although technically you will, 4 months down the line, you wont have anything new, and theyll be something else you want. so youll most likely get that new thing on their. I use mine for big stuff, car insurance, festival tickets, and the like. but the trouble is, when youve stuck £700 for festival tickets on there one month, sticking £20 here and there for fuel or to keep your current account looking healthy. sound adds up. admittedly im now in a situation where i owe more money than i have, by about £1500. but if i hadnt had credit cards, id likely of ended up having a loan for my car. and id be paying my car and bike insurance monthly, and would technically owe them £900 via direct debit. Theyve benefitted me hugely, but for a couple of weeks between paychecks, theyve looked like they crashed my world(last month i owed like £3000 on them, and had £0 in my current account, whilst i was waiting for several large cheques to clear, which looked a bit daunting). and ive seen people run up £10000 + debts on them, just on nights out, big tvs they dont need, new computers, and shopping trips etc.

Still got that sitting in a shed in wales, albeit with a slightly cracked head tube, was kinda my last time actually riding trials (after i wasted £280 on a raven 4.0 i dispised)

Erm pass, with the notable exception of the NSX, the japs dont really do supercars. (stuff like the GTO,supra, older skylines etc - can all be argued as having supercar performance for stuff from their day) suppose its basically a sports coupe, or possibly a grand tourer. although a grand tourer is usually more upmarket (think aston martin, maserati,ferrari 612 etc - country eating cars,which is kind of what this is, allows you to do huge speeds and mileages in comfort) and its a bit quicker than say a hyundai coupe sports coupe etc. but then the m3, the new a5, etc are essentially sports coupes' but both will manage huge speeds, and are probably equally as capable of crossing countries as grand tourers. its just the price of them at 2-3 years old puts them as ownable for the average man.

My Phone Seems To Have Blown Loads Of My Credit Without Me Knowing
Fish-Finger-er replied to GaZaa's topic in Chit Chat
erm, there's bluetooth hacks been doing the rounds for years, which allow you to control peoples phones and send messages/make calls using that phone. I once had someone in college send the message "hey, fancy a f**k" to everyone in me phonebook, which cost me like £20.00 but then it all kind of died out as all the phones where quickly updated not to allow that. but similar programs where supposedly able to work on new phones about a year ago(although i never got one to work when i tried) theres probably something similar around now,especially one that could work off a laptop. thing is, its got to be within range of your phone at the time, so id suggest that its either somone in your mrs house/next door neighbour to her house. simple answer is turn your bluetooth off unless you need it. -
Nah his verdict, at least the way i read it is that its a brilliant car, but its too brilliant. Its a sports car, but it doesnt give you a headache when you drive it, or make it uncomfortable to drive. although this makes it a bit characterless, it does kind of make it awesome.

think i got 3 points and a £60 fine, and probably a disciplinary as it was a company vehicle. Saw the camera flash twice in my rear view mirror. Thing is, i was behind another vehicle in a stream of traffic, and my speedo deffinately wasnt reading over 65mph (its a 70mph road) centrally mounted camera, so chances of it being set off by a car doing 80 the other way are unlikely

he must also have the knowledge of how a colourblind animal also experiences brighter coloured grey's whilst on ectasy. wasnt so much abuse of him, just he was the one from the most recent page, but theres plenty of other people here whove done the same and basically said. "drugs are for losers, anyone who needs drugs is a total idiot, but weeds ok, as it doesnt hurt anyone, pills and mdma turn everyone into the dregs of society" without really having ever seen anyone on pills apart from the chav idiots at the local park. who are idiots, no matter what there taking, and a couple of mates who are sound, who smoke weed. im not pro drugs, or anti drugs, ive had extremes of both experiences on them, but at no point whilst on them, do i think it personally changed me as a person. I just get annoyed with the people who stereotype takers of hard drugs, as those who are weak in the mind, or unable to have a good time without them. who will end up homeless robbing people. and then saying that a bit of weed wont do you no harm. Weed's just as bad as any other recreational drug, if used to extremes. And if used sensibly whilst experimenting in your youth, that a pill, or a line, wont turn you into a street robber. I personally dislike pills, as to me they dont seem to have any appeal, and never intend to start taking them for a saturday night out. but it doesnt mean that i think any less of the people on them, or that they shouldnt be taken. (in the same way i think of sushi as pretty repulsive, but i dont think that a sushi eaters going to vomit all over me, or that sushi should be banned)
