    Really good idea - quite a few forumites have already booked with us and we will do the best prices possible for fellow commuters. We will soon be in need of some help with video production/editing so if you have the skills get in touch and we can do a swap!

    Do you have to be a mate to claim mate's rates?

    I can change your compact double to a nice sensible triple with proper low gears.

    - unless you really are wellhard and think 30mph is pootling.

    I was thinking about the staff and readership of the Daily Mail.

    Don't really want to do landfill. Not sure how you'd sell that many lampshades.

    You can get rid of a lot of the staff by revoking their visas. I know a lot of folks who have been through their IT dept and the one thing they all have in common is that none of then are from the UK.....

    Cabinet making you say... I'm after a pair of bedside cabinets in oak, or oak veneer, that have specific dimensions as I'm struggling on the width front, from memory they need to be less than 33cm wide but I can confirm later. Pm me with a guideline price and we could take it from there....

    They're not the ones I want to get rid of, though. They can probably do useful stuff somewhere else in the UK.

    It's the English ones. I'm sure they'd all be much happier in Russia or Kazakhstan. Somewhere where there's more hate to get involved with.
