Nice one,

also, bummer.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

yeah...Also OCuK just dropped the prices on a load of 7XX series cards and 770s now go for £180 which means Im gonna have to undercut my original price to keep up. Probably gonna have to sell for £130-140 each for it to get any kind of interest.

Congrats on keeping the Sheep shaggers under the queens thumb.

A lot of Americans were rooting for the Scotts. Guess its for the best. Now gotta see if all them promises of deep throating by the parliament will come true. lol

I bet they backtrack on half of the promises.

Sheep Shagger is a term colloquially reserved for people in the North of Scotland, particularly Aberdeen, who coincidentally, voted about 60/40 in favour of 'No'. In Glasgow, where most people are poor, stupid or too drunk to notice otherwise, we voted 'Yes'.

Calling a Scot a Sheep Shagger is like calling any average American a red neck. Or worse, calling a Canadian an American.

With Alex Salmond out of the way, I dont think theres any need to make any changes except for maybe oppressing them a little more.... I mean, after all they still have their freedom right? Whats freedom without a little oppression?

Being part Scottish and all Redneck I don't care. It was a joke. Get over it.

I thought it was the welsh that were otherwise known as sheep shaggers?

See you guys can't even agree who shags sheep!

well.... when its me using the term 'sheep shaggers' I usually mean the welsh

Over what, did you say something?

In other Pressing news.... I think OCuK's server went down or is under DDoS cuz i cant access their website.

They don't have to execute any promises until the next general election (AKA, the next governments problem), at which point every politician will put it off. Also, in England we refer to the Welsh as sheep shaggers. Personally I've never referred to a Scot as a sheep shagger in my life. Most of the areas of Scotland are either horribly poor and full of drunkards, or rather well off and full of drunkards. That's not to say they're all drunkards, they just tend to roam. Kinda like the Hungarian gypsies in Romania. Everyone thinks they're Romanian Gypsies, but they don't even come close.

'Bout damn time. Hate those guys. SpecialTech has the Primochill Wet Bench on sale for £60. OCUK is selling the whole lot at over £130!

See you guys can't even agree who shags sheep!

I'm guessing it's just the central Scots who call the northern Scots sheep shaggers, hence why none of us down south have any clue as to why you're referring to any northerners as the embuggerer's of sheep.

Yeah, saw that too (Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111). I also had a bad gateway (504) to TPU a few times.

W1zzard broke TPU lately. He also fixed something great for me using the Rich text editor at work, but since breaking the servers more, he unfixed it and now I can't use it at work again.

I think the problem is overloading - Everyone is scrambling to grab the last minute deals on GTX 7XX series cards. (huge sale on)

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Also new avi is just delicious.

 

[d1nky]

i wont be buying any tech lately... just gone and bought a 2litre mk1 focus. 17inch alloys and needs a bit of work. bought it for £200 and spending another couple on getting it road worthy and looking good. Oh boy does she fly!

My test is next month, so will be spending all my wages on this ^^^ £1570 year insurance and a billion month in fuel!

baaarppppppppp!

 

[RCoon]

bought it for £200

Alarm bells are ringing, what's the catch? Welcome to the ridiculous world of youngsters getting shafted by insurance.

 

[d1nky]

Im pretty good with motors (taught young and still learning) heres a list;

oil leak - rocker cover (awaiting parts)
clutch, bites towards halfway/top but doesnt slip (awaiting parts and a garage to fit it - 300 at least getting uprated clutch tho)
passenger side window mechanism broke (fixed)
central locking broke (fixed)
passenger side tyre wall cracked (my fault kerbed it lol awaiting funds for tyre)
number plate smashed (£15)
few bumps and scratches (nothing some filler and paint wont sort)

obv. no tax and mot. getting sorted within 3 weeks. doing all myself apart from clutch. and whatever the mot list is.

 

[RCoon]

MOT's are worrying times I pray yours passes, especially after all that work.

 

[d1nky]

ive given her some tests of myself lol. most of the shit would be advisory after i sorted the tyre and num plate. i cant test emissions or brakes tho.

i couldnt believe the insurance, i was thinking 1k max. but 1500?! and on my missus' 1.4 clio auto was 1400?!......

Anything above 1.2 for a first time driver is £1K minimum. At 2litres, you were asking the insurance companies to take your living away from you.
Also autos are generally higher insurance, because less economical. They're also a nightmare in repair costs because of the extra bits involved.

 

[d1nky]

i dont think i could drive a 1.2. ive had the pleasure of driving bmw's, gti's, 2L gsi's at a youngish age. and im not the lightest, so it would be screaming everywhere lol

if it does get too expensive with fuel etc ill sell her and get something more economical...

or i'll start selling my arse and dogging in the car to pay to run her!

Well the new new 1.2's are probably far faster than the old 1.6's and below. Those fiesta fusion 1.2's are mighty fine driving machines. Then again they're a lot up front. All that being said, when money is an issue, the engine size stops being a problem. I swallowed my pride and stuck with a 1.2 for all this time. Luckily I get a shiny new car in February and saved up long enough to make it a decent one. I've had enough issues with cheap cars to know my stinginess cannot extend to motors.

Engine size isn't everything. Bare in mind those F1 cars are only 1.6's...

EDIT: What's your yearly tax cost like? My 1.2 is about £140, I dread to think what you might be paying xD
