Registered 16 years agoWell you guys much have been loaded when you was younger, this was the make and model RC my brother and I had:
https://www.rcscrapyard.net/irl/mardave-mini-stock-car.htm
The chassis was made of a strip of PCB board, and came in kit form. Parts were very cheap for it however! Sophisticated things like suspension didn't feature
Haha, you can still buy them, and they look exactly like the ones I used to have. https://www.mardave.co.uk/rc-cars/1-12-oval/157-detail

Registered 17 years ago@Carlo I surely can. It has all arrived!
I got a Harder and Steenbeck airbrush:
spoooooge
and a fairly generic compressor:
VVVVNNNNNNN
The compressor was recommended from a youtube painting guy. It has the tank on top and is one of the quietest I could see that wasn't £400 odd. The airbrush is a good make by all accounts and comes with 2 different needles and paint cups.
Its a bit terrifying to be honest. And I can't tell you how it all goes as the hose and paint etc doesnt arrive until tomorrow earliest... -

Registered 17 years ago@Carlo No worries. Would love to get back in to 40K especially with the primaris and tau and all that (last did it when it was still all metal) but easing in with some Gundam kits. Big flat panels, should be better to learn airbrushing with....will keep you posted. -

Registered 16 years agoFucks sake Lloyds bank have reduced my payments because they dropped the interest rate.
I want to put it back up to the amount I was overpaying but to do that I have to do it by phone ONLY. And of course I can't reach anyone by phone.
Wankers. Fix your bloody online systems!
AND I've just noticed they only reduced it by the first reduction (0.75 to 0.25) and not passed on the second reduction from 0.25 to 0.1.
Makes my blood boil!

@Carlo They always drag their heels when the rate goes down. When it goes up , well..... -

Registered 17 years agoIt's amazing how little money I'm spending day to day compared to how it used to be, and how much I'm saving. I don't even know what I spent it on! Pubs and restaurants I suppose. This month I should be able to save over half of my take-home salary 0_o

We now have almost zero spend on eating out, other than our local pizza place’s “Two-For-Tuesdays” where you get two sixteen inch pizzas for around £11 and that’s enough for way more than just one meal for the (current) four of us. -

Registered 17 years agoYep for the next decade or so. But what's the alternative? (At least) several million people unemployed and hundreds of thousands of businesses going to the wall, the country will literally crash.

Yeah, I get that. I think that's inevitable and, to an extent, I don't really mind.
Obviously I'd rather pay nothing but, for those that genuinely need help during this time, I'd rather they got that support and I contribute to that recovery in the future. -

The poor/destitute can't because they have no money. But they need money to survive.
The only people that can pay are those that have excess money that they do not need to survive (savings).
So at some point the government will take the money from people who have excess and give it to those that have none.
"take" could happen in many different ways. For example, the government could inflate the currency, which would destroy a lot of the debt of the poor. But this will also devalue savings. Or it could just be more honest and implement some sort of wealth tax. -

Each person would have to be gone after seperately, and you would need teams of people to do it. If legislation were implemented, people would just wriggle round it, and if it got too onerous then they would piss off.
Whereas to place a 10% wealth tax on everyones ISA would probably take about 5 minutes to implement, and generate hundreds of times the revenue.
Wouldn't be very popular though, but at that stage nothing would be. -

Yeah but that's not fair as the super rich have earnt their money and already pay it back by providing jobs (to stockbrokers). Plus trickle down crumbs to all the peons and paupers.

Trouble is it screws over a lot of people, mostly the young. People who are saving for a house in a vastly inflated market for example.

Registered 17 years agoWe bought a kilo pack of bacon and didn't split it up before freezing it, so I've had to defrost the whole fucking thing in order to use any of it. So it's bacon for every meal from now on till it's gone.
