    Question: Have you checked under the bonnet of yours to see if there's a dipstick?

    It was aimed at your belief that automation is not happening the tie into the hairdressers car and your rather sparse head was a nice bonus. If it were McDonalds I would mention MS, something particularly geeky would be NF,some old forgotten technology DrS etc.

    Not jealous of you, I have a happy family which I would prefer you wouldn't reference in insults as we agreed.

    nice I will repeat your wise words! I have clearly won so personal attacks are valid.

    In real life ... you don't count as I don't value your opinion or taste.

    As for the self employed getting a bloody grant during covid and still being able to work..
    Apparently you are deluded the hidden economy is a fantasy according to our resident studmuffin! This point was raised repeatedly with the duck feckers but lost in their accusations of evoidance.

    Yep brought you by His Majesties random collecters (other words starting with C available). Obvious to anyone with half a brain that taking an average going back 3-5 years and totals going forward 3-5 years would fix most abuse. But hey the experts were involved.

    Plenty of trades make more than we do and much of it the Tax man never sees.

    To me it's sleek, fast, lovely to drive, perfect with the top off, great stereo, and blondes love to sit in the passenger seat and scream 'wooooooo, faster, faster' ....
