  1. Used to have a hitch on the back of an Isuzu which had a standard ball hitch and a jaw which closed over the top of it to use a Sankey trailer NATO hitch. I believe it came off of Ebay a couple of years ago.
  2. Graham's a very nice chap. Did he have the full battle kit on or was it a 'dress down' day?
  3. Ditto. Called it off at 06.45 this morning.
  4. Get the kids to earn their keep and teach them a little social history at the same time, mate,
  5. Only if there is a body to find.
  6. Try that in the pub next time somebody is disturbing your lunch, Jon
  7. Hi matelot, I don't just read the headlines. Perhaps if you read the rest you will see where I pulled the quote from?
  8. 'Christian Dustmann, the centre’s director and a co-author of the study, said: “Immigration to the UK since 2000 has been of substantial net fiscal benefit, with immigrants contributing more than they have received in benefits and transfers.'
  9. You and me both.Goodnight (entirely sincerely).
  10. My take on it was that immigration has an overall beneficial effect on the country if you take into account the skew of immigrant's children being counted as British, not immigrants.
  11. Jon, you have a natural ability to put a smile on many faces. Don't try to analyse it or you will kill it.
  12. It means that you lack the common sense that you laid claim to in a post(one of several) where you were being offensive and aggressive to people who dared to disagree with your opinions. My view of you has less to do with your grasp of grammar and spelling(which I simply mentioned as an example that perhaps a little reality check was needed in your claim to intellectual superiority over your fellow forum members) than it does with your crashing arrogance and astounding ability to take all the information to come to a conclusion that is 180 degrees out.
  13. Did you read the whole article that he referenced?
  14. I suspect egnsean may be a secret fan of the man.
  15. You are as obtuse as you are offensive.
  16. They had the best take on immigration a few years back. The general gist was 'if you want to come to Australia to work and integrate, you would be welcome; if you want to come and then complain and expect things to change to suit you, please don't bother making the trip'.
  17. Sounds like a plan, Mark. I'm all for getting people in who want to live here and do well. Shame we can't do anything about the Jeremy Kyle fodder who were born here.
  18. What does the next line say? Would it possibly be 'A report found that overall immigration was positive for Britain's finances'?
  19. So it doesn't say that migrants are a drain on the economy as you claim then? It also doesn't specify immigrants but refers to ethnic minorities and Muslims who may well be UK citizens.
  20. Don't hold your breath for a decent answer. There isn't a great wi-fi signal under the bridge.
  21. Of course he does! He's not Jamie Oliver for God's sake.
  22. That's because they are better than Stihl or Husqvarna.
  23. I know. Sometimes I just enjoy a bit of troll baiting.
