I don't mind Ralph Ineson as an actor but on Salvage Hunters he reads the voiceover like English isn't his native language -
It isn't.He's from Yorkshire!

I hate the voice of the bloke that does the voiceover work on the Dacia adverts and on Salvage Hunters.
He sounds like he smokes 60 fags a day, has a throat infection and a handful of sharp gravel in there, for good measure.
Hideous voice!!
It's Finchy from The Office aka Ralph Ineson.He sounds like he smokes 60 fags a day, has a throat infection and a handful of sharp gravel in there, for good measure.

It's Welsh you 'tard.
My nephew messages me today, some crappy Peugeot 108 offered to him by a greasy salesman for £240/month PCP. The kid is 18 and waiting tables, but his head is turned and all his mates are doing it. These salesmen have a lot to answer for.
I've advised him not to, but I think he'll end up in debt.

There's a new residents above one of the corner shops near me and another above the off license. am i bothered by that? no. What does bother me though is that they have drainage pipes that stick out the wall. So everytime these people use their washing machine it drains out said pipes and flows down across the pavement and down to the curb.

"Free" insurance for the first two years?I've advised him not to, but I think he'll end up in debt.
If you're 18, that's worth £150 a month.
(Sorry to think of a reasonable explanation)

People who use the American spelling curb when it should be kerb.Lucas CAV said:
What will you do with it if you buy a car with a different engine layout?
If i'm ever in a position to better this car - another appropriate number plate would be inconsequential.If I ever do get rid of this car and cannot get something equivalent or better - then i'll probably put in on the new car as a nice reminder of days gone by. Like I said - it has sentimental value.

Possible issue for the local water company - foul water entering the run-off drains? Maybe environmental health too?I'm imagining the drain pipes just 'dump' the contents onto said pavement? Bit of a no-no.

Email from Dartford Crossing authority - they're increasing the charge for cars from £1.67 to £2.00 per crossing from 01 Oct.
Having removed the toll boothes (and presumably the cost of manning them) they still need my hard-earned cash to support the infrastructure (which was mostly paid for when the crossings were handed back to the government).
Thieving bunch of chancers.
Can we not declare the whole 'zone' as scottish and watch the tolls get abolished overnight?

No, the Government sold it to the French ( Sanef: - Thieving bunch of chancers ).Having removed the toll boothes (and presumably the cost of manning them) they still need my hard-earned cash to support the infrastructure (which was mostly paid for when the crossings were handed back to the government).

The whole setup annoys me without reason as well:
I use the bridge / tunnel maybe twice every couple of years and when the toll booths were abolished, I had to open an on-line account with them ( minimum £10 paid in as stipulated )
After my next crossing of the bridge on my way to Dover, they sent me a notification ( when I was in France) that my account was now in arrears and I should top it up forthwith or incur a penalty charge. WTF??? w
kers!I feel sorry for old folks who don't have access to the Interweb. It's all just a massive scam.
When it was built, the government of the day said that once the construction costs had been met through toll charges, the toll would be dropped and the crossing would be free to all.
Yeah right.
Now it's a cash cow to extract even more of our hard-earned.
I would like to know how much the average honest hard-working motorist has to pay per annum in taxes, vehicle excise duty, fuel duty, car parking fees and penalties etc.
The local council are now pondering charging us annually for parking outside our own houses by introducing a residents' only parking scheme. And if you refuse to subscribe, no doubt you'll incur a penalty charge.
Twunts!
And don't get me started on the exorbitant hospital parking charges!!!

Women wearing bras under backless tops. Looks ugly seeing masses of straps, clasps and strings - it'd look much better if it was all covered up otherwise it just looks a mess women simply didn't wear a bra at all.
Fixed.
