The new ranger rover is quite simply the most wasted offroad abiilty there is, it's the pinnacle of technology spoilt by weighing 10 tons of bling and only used as a show off tractor.
Oh and the first Landrover was built on a jeep chassis.

The fact tgat


Its a problem up north, in Hull there were families where the kids were 3rd generation unemployed, the very concept of working for a living was alien to them

How do you tackle a scenario where anyone in the community that strives to actually work or study is mocked or worse (robbed, assaulted)?

One danger of these people is that they tar everyone thats unemployed with the same brush, which leads to views like we have on these boards, that the unemployed are lazy degenerates (the undeserving poor)

It's the pikey syndrome where its us against them, obviously Liverpool has a lot of left over Irish traveller culture in certain areas, when you meet them it's like your the police talking to someone who's just been caught stealing, even in ordinary scenarios.
They are constantly on the back foot, I fixed a boiler for this woman and I said it was just the gas valve wasn't turned on properly under the stairs.
She went off on an Irish rant.
I didn't do it mate, I'm not paying for nuthin, you tell, them ..you tell them that....I'm like, its not even a problem, she's all..you tell them it wasn't me, then she's on the phone to some brother and telling him over the phone that I'm saying it was her.
I'm just standing there with my my mouth open.
Probably why I have such right wing views....

It used to be that people moved to where the work was, which is why you had industrial boom towns (such as Hull)

Now they don't move, or well, now most don't.

Its also made very difficult to move by jobcenter, you would think that helping people move around to where the work is would be a priority but it seems not

The New Discovery weighs more than half a tonne less than the last one.

I don’t get the criticism here; should LR just make farm vehicles that the Japanese can make more cheaply and just go bust? Or make highly profitable cars people want?

The thing is, the people moving to where the industrial jobs are (M1/M6 corridor, atm) are not from this country, so we have people coming in, eager to work and willing to move to where the jobs are, doing very well for themselves on the whole. They face shit tones of criticism from the people who are not willing to move to where the jobs are and would rather sit around the house all day moaning about people tekkin the jerbs!11

Its dumb and I am afraid I have little sympathy for them.

I don't know who that is. Does she have an enormous arse as well?

It still amazes me how they went from one of the best proportioned SUVs (which admittedly weighed as much as a small moon) to easily the worst. I'm sure its good car, but it is fuck ugly.

She has an ass of steel, one that you can mash potatoes between.

I loved the old Disco .

Apple admits slowing down older iPhones

lol...

Its actually quite a sensible move from Apple, silly to not announce it or explain how to turn the setting off

Once battery degrades its a toss up between performance and stability, as Apple stuff "just works" they made stability the default choice

Yeah those two kind of go hand in hand. Like, what is terror? Is terror inherent in acts that do relate to terror, such as the above mentioned where four people died already (or some such?), or is it cherrypicking meant for authorities to use to control us? *tinfoilhat on*

A friend of mine had one and I liked it too. Right up to the point where it randomly went into limp mode on the motorway. The point where the mechanic said it was probably a valve/sensor that needed replacing, but that the valve/sensor was at the back of the engine and the only way to reach it would be to remove the engine completely. And even so, he couldn't guarantee that was the problem.

My mate fucked them off after that (traded it in for a Kia) and I agree with him. Replaceable components like that should always be accessible, it's just bad design if they're not.

It used to be that if you didnt work you didnt eat. Simple as. So you had to move to where the work was. Its too easy to exist where you get all the benefits and dont have to look after yourself.

A couple of colleagues and my golf buddy have them - great cars when they are working, but I have never seen anything so capable of going in for a minor service and producing a 2k bill. You'd have to be bonkers to run one without a warranty.

Not exactly difficult, as the last one had two chassis.

We have a mk2 disco now as our offroader, diesel auto, about 5K of trick suspension and electronic diff locks.
We might upgrade to a mk2 Rangy, but never a new Rangy, they are just too fragile, too jammed with electronics and impossible to fix/ work on without a dedicated dealer setup.
The parts from defenders to discos have been 90% interchangeable..or 100% with a bit of driling and welding.
The new ones are rich boy toys.

2kg of fillet to get through between now and Sunday. Stroganoff tomorrow, Wellington for Saturday and might see if I can get away with a couple of steaks off it for Sunday.

xmas, yes please!

Ill come and help you with that

It used to be that if you didnt work you didnt eat. Simple as. So you had to move to where the work was. Its too easy to exist where you get all the benefits and dont have to look after yourself.

It used to be that you'd live in small communities of your families and friends and the idea of ripping yourself away from that life just because of an artificially designed economic system that channels the bulk of the profits you make and puts it in the hands of mainly already rich shareholders would have been abhorrent.

You can make a judgement call on what you think is fair and right to demand off the human animal who, after all, has spent the bulk of the last 200,000 years evolving to suit a very different set of circumstances that may not have had, for example, the high suicide rates of today.

Society has made that judgement call, and it made it a very long time ago; you go to the work, not the other way around. I'm actually with @Raven on this one; I have very little sympathy for the people who refuse to accept they need to go out and get a better life. Of course I also see that the EU facilitated that, just most British people declined to take the opportunity.

Seriously name any new car that is possible to work on without a dedicated dealer setup? I can't think of much that's available in the UK.

Even changing a headlight is becoming a ballache, intentionally. They make huge sums of money from aftercare.

True enough..the indicator relay on my van is positioned with the EMU in a sealed box, I gave up trying to get it out and took it the shop, he had to remove the battery, the aircon pump, weld up two custom spanners, undo 5 multiplugs to pull it out from under the screen and then unscrew 22 torx heads to get it apart.

So Bitcoin, I'm surprised it didnt freefall to 5 cents, presumably surviving its first major wobble without too much panic means its going to go epic over the next few months.

If you think this is "its first major wobble" then you haven't been paying attention to it for very long.

'No room' for Paralympic champion on train

I wonder how much of it was there genuinely wasnt any room on the train for a wheel chair. Cause sometimes there just isnt. And how much its her just using that cause she should be entitled to an extension on a full train just for her.

 

[Tom]

If I were in that position I'd have done the equitable thing by getting off, thereby making room for her. Unless it was the last train of the day.

 

[Moriath]

she can wait for the next train just as easily as you could though.
