Now the good news, that extra £500 is to be wiped out by the removal of £13,000 from their salaries while the assembly hasn't been sitting. It's also recommended that future pay increase reviews be delayed and they may not be getting that £500 yet. Wishing all MLA members a very Merry...

And still around in the pseudo-car dual cab pickups today. I'm suffering these on my Mitsubishi L200 dual-cab, the treacherous rear handling is unbelievable, and that's from someone with years of truck driving experience. .

Me too, the PDF linked to below under the heading Muddy Puddles Project shows what I've been up to this Autumn. http://www.flecc.co.uk/m/FSW_newsletter_12. 2017.pdf .

In practice though I'd argue that this is a mistake, as illustrated by my own life. Very early I dabbled with a little credit but by my early 20s largely stopped doing that, instead for everything other than property mortgages saving first. That's had three effects though life: 1) I've not...

Morgan summing up the British problem, always looking back to the past. The past we can do nothing about, the present is what we are stuck with, only the future has any value since we can influence what that will be. If only the British would learn that simple lesson. .

In addition to the above UBER have now lost a case in Spain against being considered a Taxi company, and now the European Court have ruled that in all member countries UBER must obey the national laws as ruled by each country. They seem to be coming unstuck throughout Europe and the UK now...

Ouch! Paragraph 18 in precis: We'll be allowed to attend to hear what we are going to be told to do, so long as we keep our mouths shut during the meeting. The true meaning of Brexit. :rolleyes: .

I'm sure that is only a small part of the story, many areas of retail have been struggling and PCP is creating a new car buying problem as the earlier deals end and the true PCP cost is revealed. I'm a contributor to the drop in car sales. I used to change them frequently, the previous one...

Doesn't he realise that the EU did exactly that with Switzerland, breaking trade down into well over 100 agreements with services excluded. There is no way the EU will accept goods and services as inseparable, especially without free movement of people. .

Best not touch it. The cable has probably broken at the entry to the hub motor spindle and fitting a new one into it with all 8 connections to phase windings and Hall sensors can sometimes be very difficult. To make matters worse the multi-sprocket freewheel is missing from the hub motor, so...

That much is right, we don't understand why Brexiters cannot see what those Brexit leaders are aiming for. .

What goodness? The world is not a very nice place and never has been. All the options are unacceptable so it's just a case of choosing the least worst available. That for us is the EU, based on all the available evidence. Brexit isn't actually an available choice, since it doesn't exist and...

Also Theresa May and Arlene Foster are Cinderella UK's two ugly sisters! .

Not really in any true sense. In 1942 the Allied forces surrendered to Rommel at Tobruk. After Allied reinforcement a series of back and forth battles ensued with nothing decisive until Rommel's surrender in November 1943 after the Allied forces had been built up to six times his by Operation...

This supports what I've long felt, that many Remainers didn't vote out of the complacent belief that Remain would easily win. If true, a new referendum would deliver a decisive Remain vote, especially now that many Brexiters are becoming disillusioned with how Leaving seems to be turning out. .

Just announced on the news that the cup kick off will follow the "I do" of the wedding. So ideal for those who want to be terminally bored for many hours. .

Indeed, most of the importance that so many in the UK imagine we have in the world is illusory, based more on history than present fact. The only thing the EU really value about their relationship with the UK is our financial services strength, giving them a source of cheaper money than they...

Pehaps not, rugby is trivial since, as Zlatan observed, very few have ever played it. And weddings are trivial events only necessary to enable the far more eventful divorce proceedings that so many seem to follow with. I hope you're riding your new Cube soon though, it might be expensive but...

Comes from too simple a Google query, "Date of royal wedding", which gave me 29th April. Turns out that was William and Catherine's. There's definitely too many of them, time for a cull. .

The fuss is Strictly unnecessary, the wedding (29th) and cup final (19th) are ten days apart. .
