A teacher asks her class to use the word "contagious". Roland, the teacher's pet, gets up and says, "Last year I got the measles and my mum said it was contagious." "Well done, Roland," says the teacher. "Can anyone else try?" Katie, a sweet little girl with pigtails, says, "My grandma says there's a bug going round, and it's contagious." "Well done, Katie," says the teacher. "Anyone else?" Little Irish Sean jumps up and says in a broad Dublin accent, "Our next door neighbour is painting his house with a two inch brush, and my dad says it will take the contagious."

One of their best, Its a shame they are no more:thumbdown:

Transit, 1000s of Gypos cant be wrong.....

Our 07 plate is awsome theres places to put your flask and cups and cubby holes everywhere, The gearlever on the dash is great as theres more room for the passengers. We take the back seats out to make room for tools. Had a Merc Sprinter and it was crap the pedals were too close and the steering wheel too far away and i needed to take my back out of the seat to reach the gearlever, It went like a scalded cat but the turbo lag was shocking. LDV....Worth their weight in SCRAP:biggrin:

Ford Transit Forum • View forum - Mk6 & Mk7 - Third Generation Transits Great info here, But remember people only post faults so you never see a my Transit is great and never given any problems thread. On our 2 Mk6s they have both had a few starters, The flywheel breaks up and gets in the mech. The clutch went in one so it now has a solid flywheel. Theres been a spate of burst power steering pipes but its not that drastic. Both the Mk6s are 350 90hp and the MK7 is a 350 100hp the GVW is 3500KG and the GTW is 5745KG tare about 2400KG A level load of bark....... We take salt for gritting down to the yard and it will carry 2600KG quite happily:thumbup:

When im out of radio reception i have a FM transmitter for my MP3 player, Works great. I got all my Peltors from Ebay the Alerts were under £40 delivered BNIB.

Peltor has improved the reception I have 3 sets, The basic set have a short ariel but the newer ones are longer. I also have the alert with radio and mics built in I can have just the radio just the mics or a mix of both. I also have the basic ones with the longer ariel for a helmet mount. They do an all singing model with bluetooth, Active noice cancelling and Radio. but its £299! Its easy to convert theheadband ones to helmet mount if you swap the mounts from the basic muffs when you buy a helmet. The alerts eat batteries i get less than 40 hours from 2400mah rechargables!!!! I have a usb charger i keep in the van and batteries ready at all times in my lunch bag.

2 billon Galaxies each with 2 Billion stars, Theres life out there and who knows how far aheadof us they are might have 1 million years or more:thumbup:

A VW Passat BlueMotion has established a brand new Guinness World Record for the longest distance travelled by a standard production passenger vehicle on a single tank of fuel. The attempt, carried out by a team from The Sunday Times, involved driving from Maidstone in Kent to the South of France and back. The Passat BlueMotion finally ran out of fuel close to Calais after completing a distance of 1,526.63 miles. The route mainly followed French autoroutes, but included some town driving, resulting in an average speed of just over 45 mph. Gavin Conway, for The Sunday Times, drove the Passat BlueMotion during the three-day record-breaking trip, accompanied by a navigator and video crew. Two AA patrolmen followed the entire attempt in their van to witness the journey independently for the Guinness World Records organisation, which accredited the record. Powered by a Volkswagen 1.6-litre common rail TDI engine developing 105 PS, the Passat BlueMotion used for the record attempt was a standard production model. In common with the Polo and Golf BlueMotion models, the Passat is fitted with aerodynamic modifications to the bodywork, a lower ride height, Stop/Start, programmed battery charging, longer gearing and low rolling resistance tyres. The result is a vehicle that is completely conventional to drive, service and maintain yet among the most efficient vehicles on the road today. The Passat BlueMotion’s fuel tank was drained before the record breaking journey and filled with 77.25 litres of standard forecourt diesel, resulting in an overall fuel consumption of 89.83 miles per gallon. This substantially exceeds the Passat BlueMotion’s official combined figure of 64.2 mpg. The resulting fuel cost for the journey works out at just 6.17p per mile travelled. In setting the record the Passat BlueMotion travelled a distance equivalent to driving from London to Malaga, without needing to refuel or from New York to Los Angeles with a single stop for diesel.

I have a mate that had a 2004 330D BMW that was chipped to 250hp that thing was brutal on acceleration but would give mid 50s to the gallon when treking from Shropshire to Inverness at 80 mph!

Well im going to pee on your parade:001_tt2: I had a 205 and it was a disaster everything that could go wrong with it went wrong! Then a 306Dturbo it looked nice and was nice to drive but i got annoyed with having to use the heater EVERY time it was started, If i drove it from Inverness to Wick and stalled it it would need the heater before it would start. Then the head gasket went. Never again will i ever own another pug! if you want a good Diesel its the 1.9 VW ive an Inca straight 1.9 and a Bora 150TDi:thumbup:

Romany gypsy Pat faces criticism for marrying a non-gypsy. But his bride Sam is determined to prove her gypsy girl credentials with a 14-stone dress that lights up in the dark. With 21 underskirts and moving diamante butterflies, it weighs more than the bride's father. Six-year-old Mary Ann lives on Europe's biggest traveller site, Dale Farm in Essex, which is home to more than 1000 travellers. With a site eviction looming, Mary Ann's mother Margaret hastily arranges the celebration for her daughter's first communion. While Mary Ann has her first ever spray tan, and suffers welts on her hips from the size of her dress, three miles away a smaller site is cleared and the traveller families watch as the bulldozers move in and destroy their homes. next weeks episode guide Cmon!

Roll on next weeks lol The GF was nearly wetting herself laughing at it last night.

Clearing the sites is an ordeal, Ive seen us have to hire a chipper to get rid of all the loads of branches they have dumped. We have needed diggers to get rid of the rubble. 2 old abandoned stripped out caravans last year, Nappys, Cans all their litter, Human crap everywhere. And we have one lot that appear each year and leave the place tidier than when they got there! They lift a manhole and put up a toilet tent over it. One lot appeared with a 07 plate range rover and its nearly all new transit tippers.

A hell of a lot better than the quality of travellers we get up in the north of scotland! We have added fences, Gates, Huge boulders and dug ditches to stop them getting into our areas! Sick of welding hinges lol

They can fairly grow Boobies!!!!

The gun cost me £900 back in 2000 one week old and saved me £150 the stock is £1150 new I got mine for £500 second hand. The high rib is stuck on with no more nails tape to see if it works, The idea is that it will make me hold my face more upright as i lean way forward. Shot yest and only hit 48 out of the 50:thumbdown:

Aint it ugly! Thers a built in shock absorber that cuts the recoil from the butt and cheekpiece. Home made High rib....

Cheers that makes things clearer, I dont have to worry about VAT for now. Think i might give it a go and see if it makes things easier. I was given SAGE when i started up but it was beyond me then.

All ive ever done is list all my reciepts/Income etc on a Excel spreadsheet and put it in to the Accountant, Who over the years has not saved me anything as far as i can tell but has put their price up 10% each year! I did think about doing my own the first year then saw the Tax return form! So would something like Quickbooks make it so i could do this myself?

The big disadvantage to the fast tach is it has a button cell battery that is badly affected by cold. I know this because i had one and it was a pain in the ass. The Tech tach has a 9v pp9 that seems to last forever.

Ive tried varying K80s and never tought i could improve my scores over the Browning. At the end of the day its 2 metal tubes with a taper at the end lol I think the most basic K80 is just under £10,000 now, Seen one at Bywell last year and the wood that was on it was only fit for firewood!

Much better!
