It is with regret that I shall not be contributing to this forum in future .
I can no longer tolerate the acrimonious comments posted by certain individuals in direct contradiction to paragraph 5a in the rules and regulations .
I appreciate some may not take it seriously but I do and there are plenty of other forums that hopefully have a clientele that know how to conduct themselves.
Goodbye.

The Findus product affected was made in France.

What are you talking about?

Is the change of plea to guilty the ultimate 'own back' on his ex. If he went to trial then she would have been required to give evidence for the prosecution. In the event, as I understand it, then the statement she would make in court could not be used against her in any other court.

So, with a guilty plea she wasn't required to give evidence so now stands to be convicted for perverting the course of justice.

Nice one Chris.

Maybe you should .

Penelope , you don't by any chance attend the same bridge club as lady Tup ?

Your comment was tongue in cheek, I realize, but you can still learn modern (and even classical) languages in state schools as far as I know. Unfortunately it's not still a compulsory part of the syllabus.

Anyway, first I've heard that knowing French is pretentious!

Maybe this latest incident, concerning the horses, might help the bookie trade.

Ha Ha Ha, and this from someone whose only evidence was 'It's a well known fact'.

Not only was it correct to point out that the story normally runs at this time, but it's now been revealed that Blake himself generally runs the same story each year. How very odd.

I've got a Saab 9-3 Aero TTiD and it's great - massively over-specced for the money and looks great. A great marque, and a real shame it went out of business.

The Top Gear feature was very interesting, and quite right in my opinion. They basically said that Saab didn't charge enough for their cars and lost loads on the R&D that went into them.

All of the Saab parts are made by General Motors, who have said that they will continue to make spares for some time to come as there will be an increasingly large market for them as the Saabs on the roads get older.

Anyone who wants to avoid paying for a badge.


Incidentally Škoda were the only people in Europe able to make the hub for the London Eye....

I really am losing the will to live. I DON'T CARE, I WAS JUST FLAGGING SOME INFORMATION FOR OTHERS. Hearty congratulations to Hugh

Am I? Really? All I have done is look for some info others were doubting existed, and brought some into view. The facts are the Daily Mail published such a story 6 years ago, there are lots of links to other threads on the topic but my brief foray did not show a TV programme...... I have no opinion on the topic of harvesting carp

Trying to sell Saabs must have been hard these last few months. And the Seat dealership in Newbury had laready gone under once.

Sounds like the various clubs which own the rights to the rivers, canals & gravel pits carping on about an age old problem and lying the blame with a 21st c scapegoat.

Not much of a diversion from Turnpike though.

Yes, if you were speaking I might be able to get the gist of what you meant from the context.

however, we have different spellings of word to avoid confussion when putting pen to paper, or finger to key.

The clue is in the words used. Mind you, it is a story from 6 years ago. Didn't see a reference to a TV programme, but not so interested I can look that deeply.

From a proud and reliable source

No links to the program then? With catch-up and the on-demands we could all see what you saw. But you alas you can't show us. What a pity.



An yes, the old 'well known facts'




Years? What has, poaching, fishing, no rod licences?



that's how you'd do it for any fish. Doesn't quite link immigration to Carp fishing though.
