  1. Not what you'd expect from a main dealer!
  2. It's not 40 miles to get the blue Richard, it can be found nearer, it's 40 miles (round trip) to the dealer. They were scheduled to come and collect the vehicle today but that would have left me not knowing what the situation really was. They could have just said "...yeah, the sensor needed resetting..." and I'd have been none the wiser whereas now I know the £@!£'s didn't do what they said they had done (and charged me for)
  3. The sound profile of the cutter's saw didn't instil a great deal of confidence that he was a competent feller... Which might leave open the question of face cut and back cut accuracy and hinge integrity? Just thinking out loud....
  4. Heated seat MultiOne? I have - wondering if it's just mine that you can't tell the difference if it's off or on? Even had it changed for a new seat after delivery checks, still no good! I was born Abingdon Richy, lived & grew up in Appleton. Haven't been back for a good few years, can't recognise the village I knew these days! SE Cornwall now. Off topic, but Monday Blues today... Hilux was in for first annual service recently. 300 miles later - "AdBlue Low - refill" warning comes on. So after charging me for filling 10l on the service schedule, I had to take a morning, 40 mile round trip and miss the nipper's choir concert to get the f'er filled up. Snow's Toyota Plymouth customer service is It didn't go well for the Service Manager!
  5. I could see it being a cracking tool for snow clearance! We just never get any down here
  6. Do you mean, like, more coming out sideways (like red) or coming downwards, like, yellow? If it was like yellow, wouldn't that restrict the size of your butt?
  7. That's the way to do it! I'm a bit confused by the terminology.. Is 'knockabout' the term used to describe a grab that is free rotating but not hyd powered rotator? And is that what you have Mick??
  8. Almost enough.... Name of the deceased? Background check?
  9. I reckon I could get away with sleeping during the day and partying all night, and not remembering what I'd done with a sqillion zid... I know, I'm weak!
  10. Too late.....
  11. Context? What if there were a dozen spatchcocked spaniel puppies (or worse) in the hotel room? If we knew the context we could (possibly) 'feel' quite differently about the scenario we have been presented with. It's most out of character for you to make a snap judgement
  12. That was my thinking on the tree shear scenario, I didn't want grab and hold for that very reason.
  13. Not a problem and no need for anyone to get engaged in "shady" operations.... All we need is another term in government for the Tory scum!
  14. Serious? 200k/pa? 500k 1 mill? 10 mil? 30 mil? I like to think I've got some morals.... But, they are finite......
  15. And RM's on active ops!
  16. Thoughts: (1) The video gives no indication of the broader situational or associated risk which might justify the methods adopted. (2) Initially, I assumed it may have been a single officer which might have provided some mitigation for the extreme, overt aggression. (3) The overt aggression directly contributed to the shooting by placing the 'victim(s)' under levels of stress which they appeared to be unfamiliar with and that which could be judged as directly contributing to the failure to adhere to the instructions (which, mindful of (1), appeared to be excessive.) (4) Too long between subduing and securing the victim(s) (leading to the assumption that it might have been a single officer which, it became apparent, it wasn't.) (5) No apparent threat reassessment (and appropriate scaling of levels of force (lethal to non-lethal and change of voice command tone) between subdue and secure. (6) It's a massive unknown as highlighted at (1) and the video is a snapshot rather than a comprehensive situational assessment - BUT - from the video alone, it could easily be interpreted that that officer always intended to execute 1 or both of them. Could be worse, imagine if they weren't 'white.'
  17. You might as well do it..... After all, "...if you don't someone else will..."
  18. Ummmm.... I couldn't do the back button at the end of the survey and the questions finished before the career options finished... Did the survey top out at 31k? That could be considered as indicative of an undervaluing of the industry....
  19. Cracking bloke! Haven't seen him for a while, must try and look him up before Christmas....
