Subject: RE: BS: Blind stupidity - TUC Congress From: Jim Carroll Date: 17 Sep 10 - 07:12 AM I watched Question Time last night. I wonder if anybody else heard the woman from the London Fire Service say that she and all her collegues would all be sacked in November and re-employed under new contracts - nice to know that workers are being given a full part to play in sorting out the mess the country is in!!!

Subject: RE: BS: Blind stupidity - TUC Congress From: Edthefolkie Date: 17 Sep 10 - 07:17 AM Richard, to go straight off topic again - it's an LHD Mk IX and (I think) auto. Came in a container from the States along with a MK 1 which had been partially immersed in a creek, a 4.2 E-Type, and an MGB. The E Type is now restored and RHD, the Mk 1 I believe went to a German gent (poor sod), and the Mark 9's head has I believe now been taken in hand as they say. Thank God I only have a 1973 Citroen Dyane being fixed! And to get back onto the drift of the thread, neither of us are bloated plutocrats - we're just playing with our Dinky Toys. |

Subject: RE: BS: Blind stupidity - TUC Congress From: Old Vermin Date: 17 Sep 10 - 07:38 AM Friend of mine, technically a carer, disabled and skint has an ancient VW Golf as a winter car - currently off the road - an even more ancient Triumph Spitfire - intended to be the summer car when fixed - an elderly MGB GT in his father's garage and as an alternative summer car a Citroen 2CV [if it isn't a Dyane] which is kept about twenty miles from where he lives. He had a bit of a glitch on the MoT [roadworthiness test certificate] for the Golf expiring before he thought it did. Declared that SORNed [legally off-road] before noticing that he needed a road-legal car to get the bits to fix the assorted deficiencies. I gave him a lift to the motor-factors back in June. Haven't seen him since, must enquire.... Certainly not a bloated plutocrat. Has an apparent ability to defy gravity, though. |

Subject: RE: BS: Blind stupidity - TUC Congress From: Richard Bridge Date: 17 Sep 10 - 07:38 AM Ah, I wouldn't have wanted an LHD auto anyway, but thanks. Go radical with the Dyane and put a 1220 GS engine in it! |
