No need to apologise old chap.





We know you can't help it...

OK, perhaps I'm being dim (again) but I can't see the link between the quoted website and the images. The website itself proves rather conclusively that actual fraud is very low, and well over half is about campaigning rather than voting.

So your point is?...

OK, I've seen £300-£1000 quoted, depending on what's wrong. but if a key component has failed on something worth less that £1800 or so, I'd be changing it for something less likely to kill me. But that's my opinion, yours may rightly well be totally different since you know the car in question....

[malvolio]

Not sure I'd want to replace a faulty and fairly important brake component with a used one that may well develop the same fault... ...

They are purely diagnostic tools with a side order of interesting data. If you want to fix things you will need a lproper diagnostic tool which costs a lot more. Clearing a fault code only takes it out of the log and turns the light out, the original code is retained in case it happens again....

That's what I do on the motorhome (being a Fiat it's electronics and sensors are less than robust!). Gives an error code on the phone that you can then lookup - although it's not always particularly clear what the real problem is anyway - and you can clear transient amber light conditions like "Low...

Not altogether. It will make international travel rather more complicated for one thing....

It's an EV, subject to the same business rules as any other EV. Try searching for them through Google and you will find the official guidance.

Still a way to go then... ...

There is very little point (And a few accounting issues) in running an inside gig through YourCo. Apart from anything else, all the money you receive will have to come straight back out again into your personal account before you can do anything with it. The only reason to hang on to YourCo is either...

No, it's any politician jumping on a band wagon with both feet to appeal to a certain demographic in the hopes of getting re-elected....

[malvolio]

Like I said, don't confuse propagandist sound bites with reality....

[malvolio]

To anyone that doesn't understand pantomime, the dame is not a female impersonator, the dame is always clearly a man dressed as a woman and pretending to be a woman and aping female habits and attitudes, without any hint of cross-gendering. All the Danny LaRue (who?) wannabes you see these days don't...

[malvolio]

Like I said: pointless....

[malvolio]

And you can't distinguish between lies and propaganda. Is that my fault as well?

This is pointless. You can't argue coherently if one side starts from the assumption that the other is apparently incapable of independent thought and analysis. It's not me grabbing any useful soundbite to...

[malvolio]

And you think any modern politician will be making clear, accurate and meaningful statements? Or are they appealing to the Twitterati and the Dick Tok users who can't understand anything that isn't delivered with a baseball bat and who apparently lack any kind of rational critical thought? Very little...

[malvolio]

Yes, that is the other side of the argument. I know that all perfetly well thanks.

If you apply it all migrant incomers then it is even fairly valid (although I don't recall seeing the 100 million figure anywhere; given there are only about 62m already here that destroys your credibility...

Perhaps he should be told that some 90% of those "fleeing war and persecution" in the small boats are reportedly healthy males between 16 and 35 years old, largely from countries where there is no war, who can find a few thousand pounds for their passage and have passed through one or more...

[malvolio]

Well yes but I thought that was what they always seem to do......

[malvolio]

Surely the point is that the idiot Lineker has diluted his value by being a sanctimonious prat while ignoring his connection to the BBC?...
