This one please. Pretty please.

I've never seen this vid, thank you Opti. Apparently GTM 777F was owned by John Woolfe, along with its sister competition car GTM 700F, some heritage! Interesting that they were almost exactly twice the cost of an E-type when new. But still less than 1/3 of the cost of a 250 GTO. 

It did strike me that it sounded very Chinese but the seller is apparently in Staffordshire ! Still I'll find out tomorrow (hopefully) when it's supposed to arrive.

I too have done away with my landline and as Stemo does I don't answer my mobile unless it recognises the number.

I've unplugged my landline from the router and, if I don't recognise the number calling my mobile, it doesn't get answered. Apparently, the latest wheeze is to clone your voice if you do speak.

.

I very rarely get calls on my phone my pals normally just WhatsApp me for a meet up or a chat, the only calls I usually get are from our GP surgery, I guessed straight away what this idiot was up to and the number is now blocked, we have no landline now.

Yes I use an ad blocker, but as you say sites increasingly detect it and demand that I disable it for access. 

Absolutely.

Running internet sites is *VERY* expensive, and somehow needs to be funded.  So assuming the site isn't selling anything, that means either:

Subscription required
Ad funded
A kind benefactor/sponsor that pays for it


So for ad funded sites, using an ad blocker means stopping that income for the website owner.  Therefore I believe that website owner has every right to refuse to show the content when ad blockers are being used.

The internet isn't usable without an ad blocker, so they have themselves to blame if they don't get my business as a result.

I agree some sites are unusable due to the intrusive nature of the ads.  As a rule, I choose not to use such sites.

Somebody somewhere has to pay for the stuff though, with the 3 options above being the only real options.  Don't take OOF running costs as an example, because we really are a bunch of cowboys, running on a shoestring


You can't really buy a viable server for under £10k with a realistic life of 5-7yrs, and because it's monumentally moronic to have the database internet facing, that means you need a 2nd for a database. If you're stupid enough to use MySQL for a database, then you need a 3rd to use as a replica to take backups from. Then you need backups.  All that has to be hosted somewhere, and due to near zero remaining capacity in UK data centres for CoLo, expect to pay £700+ per month per server - energy costs normally included, but network bandwidth usually not.  Then consider that most websites taking any traffic likely need multiple front end web servers, and big sites, multiple databases, it gets massively expensive very quickly. 

There still appears to be an assumption that anything on the internet should be free.

At long last, have a year's ticket on it.

Similar story with my 2.0 Sierra. Belt snapped when I was driving along.
I thought " good, thats the end of this tedious pile of shite".
Lined the pulleys up and stuck a new belt on not expecting much but it fired up and ran fine as if nothing had happened.
Finally got rid of it when an old car parked next to it burst into flames and took the Sierra with it. 
Thats whEN i bought the Senator. 

That's what you get for answering the phone

These scammers who take people for complete idiots, I had one this morning , usual barely understandable Asian accent telling me that there was a problem with our TV licence direct debit, eventually he got round to requesting our bank details so I gave him a few choice words & then he had the cheek to call me a clever motherf**ker. 😂😂😂
