I only quit smoking two and a half years ago after 30+ years of 20+ a day

... When did it all go up so much. I was expecting my insurance to go down as my bike claims have be written off now with certain companies (3 years). Why has it gone up! I looked at insuring a 675 (bearing in mind I originally got a quote with a years no claims for £700 quid going back a few ...

There is not a hole deep enough to bury all the pikeys in, we had them move on at Mini Gees junior school sports field a few years back, they destroyed it, plus the crime rate went through the roof, the filth that came out of the pikey kids mouths (who *attended* the school) would have ...

Rolling while driving takes years to perfect. My mate Roland's dad could do it with one hand.

... still driving on test My gast was flabbered. He then lit up and started puffing away. I suppose I should have said something sooner, but in 30 + years as an advanced examiner that was the first time that has ever hapened.. I did ask him to extinguish his cig. Anyway, we got back and I asked him ...

Look at all the rounds that went into that car!! Had to be semi-auto for all that damage.

A prayer for your friend.

This was Rogers car. (we had personal issue back in those days) There were something like 40 points of entry and 20 points of exit. It wasn't just all the bullet holes, but you can imagine the mess inside as well. Anyway, the insurance company wanted to put it back into service. Newbury refused to h...

The feeling of disbelief I had then about the Hungerford massacre hasn't changed, in fact the frequency of similar events elsewhere in the world has added to that disbelief, how anyone could do something like that is still utterly beyond my understanding. I feel for anyone that has lost friends, fam...

Sad sequence of events that day. Why he insisted on taking other peoples lives is a mystery.

I'm sorry to hear you lost a friend and a colleague that day. That can never be easy to deal with.

Gosh yes - was that really 30 years ago

Terrible terrible thing.

All plod (current and retired) have my admiration for what you do / did tbh.

RIP all

... called down from both Readng and Taplow (the other 2 STA bases) and what we saw I can still remember vividly as if it was yesterday. In all my years in the service and all the fatal crashes and dead bodies I dealt with, Hungerford was the only incident that had what I would describe as a profound ...

I hve a set of them spanners, personally I think they are very good! had mine a good few years now and all still as should be. Highly reccomend

There's a lifetime warranty and a 5 year replacement service. With the miles I do I'll take 5 years. My current jacket has done 3 years and it's still performing but the Velcro could do with being replaced and a couple of zips have failed. One was replaced. I'll keep the ...

You don't have to convince me.....I'm the guy who'll happily shell out five grand for a guitar and then stick it in a closet for years.

I gave up weighing myself a couple of years ago. My weight loss plateaued so there was no point, now I use my trouser waist measurement as a guide.

... found in bins and even if he didn't eat it he kept it.... The other was one about the worlds fattest man, although it was an old program for a few years back. 70 stone........ 4 large fish and chips followed by 2 kebabs for LUNCH! He lived like a KING! (well Id leave the fish and chips and just ...

I can see me making the change one day, next 5 years no, but look at bikes like the Energica Egos, The teccnology is getting closer and closer and more within reach of normal people. 30 min quick charge and a range of 93 miles, they are getting ...

In 5years, no. In 10 years? More than maybe. 100 miles would be fine for me for a commuter, as that means I can ride to work and back, with enough juice to spare should I have to do anything other than a direct route. I can ...

Why have we gone from not in this lifetime, to 15 years, to 5 years? To answer your question, yes. Although a number of parameters would have to be met... 1. Performance 2. Range 3. Availability of fast charging stations All need to be comparable ...
