FFS. Tyres from a scrap yard, how dodgy is that? One thing I would NEVER budget on is tyres, having been involved in a blow out at speed which could easily have been fatal. Always buy new, always buy quality, if you value your life. Err i think my hubby who has been a mechanic all his working life and builds and designs race cars knows that he's doing!! He also has a tyre fitting machine and does it all himself....i know which car I'd rather get in, ours or one thats had its tyres done at kwik fit (or such like) ??? You're having a laugh. Also, all you people that think you're new MOT means your car is safe? Bollocks.!!! ..hubby never uses our van or cars unless he's checked everything himself, What some garages pass as safe or just dont see is unbelievable! How can you properly tell the quality of a tyre from a scrapheap, pray tell? Even if, by virtue of being a mechanic, he can tell if a tyre is viable from a scrapheap, it's terrible advice for the average Joe on here! And what's this telling everyone else other mechanics can't be trusted! Are we supposed to drive down to oooh-arrr land to get hubby to check our tyres? The only way I can tell if a tyre is safe or not is by buying new and from a quality company. That way, two or three years down the line I still have a fair idea of what shape it's in. I'd rather pay a couple of hundred quid and be on the safe side ta. By the way, read back what i wrote in this thread, i NEVER advised anyone to do anything, i merely posted what WE do.

Did you enjoy it? My son has only been there just over a month, but has already gone down 2 trouser sizes He says he feels fitter and fitter everyday!

Tyres are not picked 'off a scrap heap' Cars that come in perhaps have had a slight knock but are written off by the insurance company are taken apart and good tyres (practically new) are kept, labelled and sold. You have to know what to look for and what makes....like you say hubby only buys what he knows are good qualitymake tyres. And no need to be sarky about people driving their cars down to my husband either Renton i only speak the truth when I say many mechanics/garages cant be trusted, its a sad fact I'm afraid, and the sooner people realise this the safer their vehicles would be. People are ripped off all the time....My advice would be take some time choosing where you take your car, ask around, look into things and talk to other customers. Have a good look at the garage and its health and safety practices and check out the mechanics qualifications. Oh and most of the people who work at kwik fit and the like have no formal mechanic's qualifications, they are trained to just fit tyres, some of them appear to be half wits too without the technical knowledge or experience to spot any problems with the car. Its cheap and quick yes, but not where i would take my car if you paid me!

Is this another bum love reference? I desperately wanted to mention that but was having a nice chat with toonraider for a change. Yes we were but its just like Bianca to lower the tone

He'll be fine. It's the destination that gets it. Surely anyone handling the mail could 'get it' though. These bombs seem well made the detonators could be on a correct movement trigger rather than a proximity trigger which cuts the possibility of early detonation. Also the bags that posties have would probably contain this type of device as the sound like small incendiary devices. Also the biggest pointer is all of the ones so far have got to destination which means the maker is good at what they are doing. He will be fine. I personally guarantee it. well thank you! I hope you're right, i thank god he's a postie down here where i suppose the risk of this is much smaller, though of course stil there. If he can get a pair of firemans gloves he would be mega guaranteed safety. Yeah! Or we have several pairs of gloves worn by williams drivers (F1) They only wear them for one or two practice sessions then discard them and have new for qualifying and the race. Trouble is posties have so much fumbling around in their bags and packages etc to deal with they dont often wear gloves, too much hassle taking them on and off all the time! Is he a career postie or until he does what you want him to do? Eh? He can do whatever he chooses, we have always supported him whatever he wants to do. He normally works in IT and graphics...went to college, worked as IT assisstant manager in a branch of connextions for a time, Then set up self employed making websites, which did fairly well (mainly motorsport sites) Then he decided he wanted to do something totally different away from computers and here he is! He is certainly getting very fit. Im actually glad he is trying different things, i wish i had, but i hate change and am a creature of habit. I admire him for his enthusiasm. I was just having a laugh sorry. Good for him to try different stuff. I am 38 and only just getting round to Uni and a career. Well they say you are never too old to learn new tricks, at least when you're older you have some life experience to enable you to make the correct choices. If only I knew what i know now when I was 18.........

Good shout, how could i have missed him out? Billie Holliday too when I'm thinking about it. I quite like Ozzy as well I must confess (mainly Black Sabbath stuff). Ozzy's (singing) voice has always made me feel depressed

Bono....his voice does things to me! Nick Cave Singer of Sigur ros (no idea of his name and probably couldnt spell it anyway)!

Nowt wrong with them!!! Dont be so snobby Bianca, i can almost imagine you screwing your nose up in disdain!!

We get our tyres from our mates scrap yard, they are about a tenner each and some of them are like new! (And i know Gemmill will call me a cheapskate now) Hubby doesnt budget with his race tyres though...£130 each and 4 last about 2-3 race meetings Some drivers change theirs each meeting!! By the way.....If you used the rubber from 365 condoms to make a tyre, what would it be called? A fucking Goodyear!!!! sorry in advance for that one

Lucky devil....though no need to call your lady IT That's bad Raider pet. And surely the lady would get a dusting of the white stuff. Well give me alittle credit, im very tired after working all night, so it wasnt too bad

Worried sick, my son is a postie

Although i love fresh flowers, I'd be happier with a ticket to a football match anyday!!! (even if it was Torquay united )

Damn it, i missed this, i knew it was our snakey before i read it was!!

I love the bottom one, i tend to choose those colours myself. Dont think you could go far wrong with those. I hate lillies, bloody funeral flowers plus they stink of piss But if you ever do buy them, (as i know some people love them) remember to cut the stems out of the middle of the flower else the dye gets on everything, plus that does help to cut down on the godawful stench they give off!!! I love freshias, gorgeous smell. EDIT- I suppose I should say scent not smell!

No snow here as usual Just pissed down all night and its cold

I cant believe anyone would try homecures for something they think might be an abcess Jesus, get it sorted properly, aswell as unecessarily suffering pain dont forget the untreated infection could damage your gums and/or cause other problems, having infected gums can generally make you feel ill anyway, you could end up with jaw problems too.

More exciting purchases...paint, sandpaper, rollers, brushes You get the picture! I did buy a freeview box for when we move though...as we dont think we can have sky where we're going. My sky ends on Feb 9th Life will never be the same
