Dasher, Dancer, Comet and Cupid, the brown nosed raindeers... just as fast as the others but they can't stop as quickly.

Excellent! The world is a safer place with her on the case. (Quote "Trump declined to say whether he was receiving intelligence", cut the sentance short to amuse me)

There is a fine line I think, turn up in a rust bucket and you'll get suspicions about the quality of your work. Turn up with 2 brand new trucks, a brand new pick-up and again, questions thought. I wouldn't worry about age - would be a petty customer who runs out to check the reg plate to see if it was this years or last years truck - but would worry more about if it is tidy and presentable. 20 year old Transit that is in good nick or a battered 1 year old, the 20 year old would give me more confidence. Would help if it was all logo'd up rather than a white van with only a mobile number on the side.

You're just proving a point here. What exactly are you bringing to the discussion?

As above, Peds wants us to disagree and fight with him, another EU incentive that we are forced to follow (being the smaller market), a good idea but EU.... what did they ever do for us.... (same as all small device charges in EU will be USB C to reduce waste... means frustratingly I'll only need 1 charging cable in the house and not 17 different ones)

That's right, continued a with a discussion when a pertinent point was made.... and your next discussion point... pure pointless drivel of pictures.

Seriously what is the point of you being in the discussion this evening, bringing nothing to it. Bring something fresh to the floor, credibility might be something you'd consider?

What's so funny about that, it is a relevant comment in a thread about the US President and how their system is also a 2 party system. However I can appreciate how you brought the discussion just so much further forward with 4 pictures.

Musk throwing his money this way because the 2 party system works so well in the US as well, with even less chance for a smaller independent party having any influence at all?

I'll have to get the pen and paper out later to do the same sums! (but approx half that for me, £500 to £600) Which works on StevenP justification 'saved £600, can afford a new garden toy / splitter / axe / saw

Not quite up to 10.5, probably 5 with the Fiskars, a little at a time (amazing while the family are putting on their shoes to get out I can be ready, grab the axe, split a round, tidy up, lock up and be in the car.. just as they are locking up the front door)... but that is not for everyone.

The one at the top is towing the other one, 'something' is firing out the back of the toed. Aliens!

Same thing happened with drinks cans, newer design so that the tab 'won't' come off. We got used to them too. Will make a big change here when I pick up the rubbish in the street - bottle caps ground into the mud are a pain to dig out. Sorry, meant to fight you.... hate them, change is unnecessary and always a bad thing when driven by the EU and all the hippy green types. I demand the ability to remove them so I can spread my litter in smaller pieces around the countryside.

I was going to say the same however age and fitness plays a part. Always look at some of the hydraulic ones and think can be quicker with just an axe.

Kind of my thoughts too, Trump had outshouted everyone else into submission so no one else really stepped up to have a go, rewarded despite everything. If there were 2 equal candidates, Trump would still be there but I suspect those more neutral, overseas and so on would prefer 'not Trump' to Trump (as President or as a candidate), Harris suffered from Bidens late decision to pull out I think, and again like Trump no other viable option given the time frames... if Biden had pulled out a couple of months earlier or given Harris the heads up earlier the outcome might have been different.
