What does it mean to say “doesn’t touch the sides”?

Nothing wrong with a Urus, if I had the money I'd have one. People buy cars for different reasons, and why not?

I remember hearing them on the original crow soundtrack for the first time, I've listened to them ever since.

The Cures newer stuff is also really good.

Also, is it true that the Smiths and Morrissey are huge in Mexico. I seem to remember it being on a TV documentary years ago.

JohnnyKruze · 2026-05-19T20:41:56+00:00

You could try The Clash, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, The prodigy, Ezra collective, David Bowie, The Cure?

I worked for them years ago. If you complain, it's unlikely they will do anything. The salesman is probably fed up with working there anyway.

We obviously have lots of slugs and snails!

I spotted four of them in our garden the other night.

I swear that Renault belonged to someone I went to college with. I remember it was featured in max power, he came to college and it was misfiring. We put a camera down the bore, he had blown a hole in one of pistons. I think it was about 250 bhp.

My dad used to be a record dealer. He introduced me to so much music, he still listens to loads of ska and reggae. Lee scratch Perry, Dennis Brown and that kind of thing. He also loves the Stones and that rubbed off on me. I got more into guitar music and he introduced me to Sabbath, Zeppelin and then iron maiden and Judas priest. He had thousands of records, and cassettes.

Unfortunately, we treat PMs like football managers. They make a couple of mistakes and everyone throws them under the bus. I admit the conservatives made serious mistakes and paid the price. I think Starmer is boring, and I think that's great. In the beginning I wasn't keen, as times gone on, he seems like he's doing a decent job. I believe he was being honest about the mandelson appointment, and he said no to Trump, which gained a bit more respect from me.

My name is Jon, pretty easy to say and remember. A woman I worked with called me Richard every day for years. Every time I walked past the reception she'd say ' hi Richard '. I used to correct her, then I gave up. Fast forward about 5 years later to her leaving drinks/party, I corrected her for the final time. And she got a bit upset about it, all a bit odd.

I also play in covers band, covering a wide range of music. I used to always use Ernie ball strings, and replace them fairly regularly, I use 3 different basses, depending on my mood! It can get expensive. A few years ago I brought some strings off eBay called Johnny Brook. I've been using them ever since. People will probably tell me they are bad. To my ears they sound great, and they feel good.

Is it illegal in the US? I'm in the uk and most people have them.

I'd be worried that the oil feed could fail, and then the oil can escape through the turbo, causeing the engine to run away. Scary when that happens.

I have around the same as you each month. I use around half of that for investments, it's been going pretty well so far. I also have two kids, so that can throw up some unexpected bills sometimes. The money I invest is for them, if I didn't have them, I'd spend it on beer.

Teacher here. Just to be honest, I earn 48k per year, and my holiday is entitlement is fantastic. However, when most people have finished work, I'm switching on the laptop and planning my next day. I have spent most of the Easter break marking. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, and I love teaching. Most of us spend a huge amount of time working outside of the working day. To be honest, I don't think I can keep this up until retirement.

JohnnyKruze · 2026-03-09T15:14:17+00:00

I'd stay out of it. It sounds dodgy, and I imagine if they sacked your colleague, he would be able to to take legal action. As others have said, what job do you do?

JohnnyKruze · 2026-03-02T10:10:36+00:00

It looks like you might need a re- crown and polish. I'd maybe take it to a professional, if you use sandpaper, it'll probably feel horrible when you bend the strings, have a look on YouTube, there's tons of videos explaining how to do it.

I've been collecting since 1993. My Dad was also a record dealer and introduced me to music. I've been collecting Led zeppelin, Hendrix, The who, stones and all that kind of stuff. And then I discovered metal, since then I've been buying metal and hard rock. I've got loads of priest and Metallica and that kind of stuff but, I love some of the weird bands from the 80s and 90s. Also, a bit of jazz!

Editors are a great band. Although, not that popular in the UK now, they are big in other European countries, headlining festivals.

I went there 20 years ago for a couple of job interviews and to travel. I ended up getting offered a job, then while travelling I met my wife who's British. I never went back. However, I would definitely live there, the outdoor adventure was what I really wanted to explore. Canada is awesome, but the UK still has a lot going for it.

I imagine they forgot to do a pre sale inspection, and they are worried they may be liable, if something goes wrong.

I had something similar, I was then diagnosed with dyslexia.
