  1. To an extent you can’t blame them, it’s not their money, the parts are sitting there on the shelf. The technician is under pressure to move on the the next strimmer/hedge cutter or whatever under the bench. Which is why, as a pro you can’t afford to dick around, buy new.
  2. Maybe arrogance, maybe he didn’t give a shit.
  3. People who add 2 and 2 and make 5
  4. Did you think he was talking about Cabaret?
  5. I guess that depends if you receive public money (which they have no choice if they pay it or not)
  6. I reckon had he not brought the Nazis into it, there wouldn’t have been the furore. Never a good idea to compare stuff to the Nazis, unless it’s genuinely comparable.
  7. Nothing to do with HMRC, it’s to do with their rules on impartiality.
  8. Strictly speaking he’s not an employee, he’s freelance. But as you say, he’s got previous.
  9. You could be Micah Richards, I’ll be Roy Keane. 70/30 in my favour I’m afraid.
  10. Show the football, bit of chit chat, couple of ex pros explaining some tactics. He was good, but it’s not like no one else can do it.
  11. I don’t think he cares, he’s made a ton of money. I think he wanted to go down in flames saying what he wanted to say.
  12. Gary Lineker has been stood down as MOTD presenter, he was good, but it’s basically a football highlights show so anyone could do it. Ian Wright won’t do the show tomorrow in solidarity, so every cloud and all that..
  13. Full length sunroofs were great, especially in the 80s when we all smoked (5up) in the car on the way to wherever we were going, farts disappeared quicker as well.
  14. There comes a time when you may consider stopping throwing good money after bad. You’ve put nearly half the price of a new one trying to fix this one. Get a brand new one, keep it for spares.
  15. Is calling someone ridiculous a personal insult?
  16. I was mostly pro the monarchy when Her Madge was around, but it’s all wearing a bit thin for me lately.
  17. I’m not questioning it. I am taking the piss out your whole ‘every thing that happens is orchestrated by evil masters to distract us us while they do their evil work’ schtick. Somehow on top of that you’ve shoehorned this mathematics in as some kind of answer or proof.
  18. I’m not arguing about it, I’ve got google too. I don’t like to ridicule anyone I can, just the ridiculous ones.
  19. Nearly, but not quite.. It is lifted from a comedy classic, not that song though.
  20. ………forces of anarchy, union leaders, vandals, football hooligans, Clive Jenkins, Roy Jenkins namby pamby probation officers. Play for Today, glue sniffers, punk rock, Chinese Restaurants (why do you think Windsor Castle is ringed by Chinese restaurants?)…
  21. The Rolling Stones, the contraceptive pill, flared trousers, the permissive society, Tom Jones’ hips, Idi Amin, gays, mini skirts, hair worn over the ears, Anthony Wedgewood Benn, the list goes on..
  22. I suppose he’s talking about Fibonnacci sequence, seems to be his thing lately. Prepare for a picture of a Romanesco cabbage.
