Wow that's good to hear, got one to weigh this week but want to save cat and alloys, plus it's got 30 quid's worth of fuel in it so having that away too

Motorhog.co.uk (or Doncaster Motor Spares as it used to be known) will give you a price, but if you're weighing it in yourself I usually take mine to European Metals Recycling (EMR) on Stevenson Rd, Attercliffe. Remember you'll have to drain all fluids and puncture fuel tank before you take it, batteries alloy wheels and catalytic converters are always worth more weighed seperately, and they charge for leaving tyres on.

Whatever you do, don't have an eBay store. I had one for 18 months selling video games and their fees are a little pricey to say the least, £14.99 a month for the shop and they still charge for listing each item, charge a 'final value fee', and if you get paid with paypal you'll also get charged for this service each time you sell something, then charged again for the privilege of withdrawing money to your bank. A bit extreme to say that paypal is owned and indirectly run by eBay themselves.

I sometimes used to hear fireworks going off in the middle of the day too, seemingly at random. After a little more digging and asking around I found out that apparently some drug dealers in Sheffield let them off to let their buyers know they have 're-stocked' as it were, after running out. A fine city we live in isn't it?

Sounds to me like they've either a) damaged the wheel/diff. bearing while burning the old unit off, depending on wether it's the inner or outer, b) damaged/incorrectly fitted your new CV joint or c) -the most frightening option- they've left something loose on the suspension. I can't imagine the shaft will be bent as it would take an extreme amount of heat to bend one. Can I ask what car it is? As I think 5 hours is ridiculous to strip any CV joint and if it took them 2 days to change it they should close up shop and go home for good. In either instance it is wholly their fault and responsibility as they should have carried out a thorough road test after completing the work to make sure the fault was cured and that the vehicle performed as it should.

I nearly fell off my chair reading this. The short answer to this is yes, like many other fashion brands/designers in the UK & elsewhere that would like everyone to be walking around wearing their products and displaying their name wherever possible. Bench, G-Star, Henleys, Adidas, Dolce & Gabbana, Firetrap and Diesel to name but a handful. The two exceptions mentioned here are both purchased in support of the band/team and should only be worn as such, they have nothing to do with fashion, unless the only reason you buy a shirt from a fashion retailer is to support the shirt designer's lifestyle because you are particularly fond of how they carry out their work. I wouldn't lose the logo altogether, maybe just relocate & resize it to the sleeve, shoulder or back of the neck and I would certainly take away the 'tees.com' part as it will prove extremely difficult to transform a web address into a brand name. By all means keep the URL on the label and/or tags. Best of luck with your shop, will send a 'like' and follow on twitter.

If they didn't get ticketed for parking there, it's more than likely that the warden got ticketed instead. To the final. For free.

I haven't used anything on iMac G5 since I bought it new, no need really since nearly all viruses are programmed for Windows and get stumped when they see a Mac. On my laptop (Vista) I use AVG, although it was supplied with Norton 360 which I very quickly uninstalled cos IMO it's rubbish

Anyone that wants to drive faster than the limit in whatever car should be taking it to the track, not blasting around normal streets bumping everyone else's insurance up when they inevitably have a 60mph smash on a 30mph road.....

I'd definitely be heading down the HTC route, I used to have a T-Mobile G1 (aka HTC Dream) back in the day and it was excellent. I'd have one now if I hadn't jumped on the bandwagon and ordered an iPhone 4.

First of all, this is a quality thread! Second of all, IMO anyone willing to give money to a complete stranger deserves everything they get. I'd probably find myself shouting uncontrollably at this woman about what she does for a living and/or what the hell she's done with the hundreds of pounds in benefits she claims. Eventually I'd calm down, and maybe offer her three quid for the bird

I can remember those fish tanks too, I was only about 3, my mum stopped walking me under there though because I'd just stand staring at them all day...

If you've got a HD TV and a decent enough laptop run a HDMI cable from the laptop to the TV and bingo, a 42" computer monitor ;-)
