Cant stop looking at them in the mirror LOL .... I am going to treat myself to a large Jack and Ginger now, just the one though.

Will save the Single barrel Jack for when I get my eye done (still haven't heard back from hossy about that yet).

i've just had desert orchid on the phone, majorly pissed off cos someone has nicked his teeth...

hmm i don't think i would take my VAT advice from you. In vast majority of cases you can't claim the VAT back on buying a car.

when you go and rent a car from avis/europacar ect you pay vat

Yes but if a company buys a car in the UK they cannot claim the VAT back.
Dont know how it works with your exports, but if you were to buy it and then sell it to someone in the UK and avoided paying the VAT it would be illegal.

this why I asked in my first post if CIA was vat reg if he were
he could put the car through his business so long as it was vat qualifying
say he gave £10,000 plus the vat for a car
then in 5 years time he sold it for £5,000 plus the vat he would gain a further
8 and 3/4 vat relief hence a saving of £875

how can he sell it for 5K plus the VAT ? there. is no VAT on 'used' cars. Plus unless this company vehicle purchase was 100% for business use, then the company cannot offset the VAT element of the purchase price.

cars can only be vat qualifying if they have been exclusively registered ass dealer demonstrators from new. It doesnt really matter to joe public, but if it is going to be used in. a purely business function (wedding car, chauffuer service etc), then the purchasing' company can claim the VAT back on the purchase price from the dealership.(provided they are vat registered). For business contract hire deals, companies can normally claim back 50% of the VAT on the rentals.

In the case of export then it is true the' the VAT element of the purchase by the purchaser can be offset /claimed back in his/her quarterly VAT return, but of course, nothing is for free, and upon import to another country then an Element of Import Duty, and VAT (and any other vehicle taxes - such as VRT in Ireland) will have to be paid.

Is it just me that prefers to go for watches which are made by actual watch manufacturers rather than designer labels, for eg Police or Diesel

90% of the 'designer' brands are made by fossil. Fossil' watches can be picked up in the US for $40-$50 which tells you the. true value of them..

I love my raymond weil parsifal, which I have had for nearly 15 years.



(this is a newer version with bigger numerals which I dont like at all). The watch is incredibly thin.



i am secretly after one of these, which must be about the cheapest watch that Rolex make :

Are Tag good watches then or just fashion prices ?

TAG is a swiss watch maker that has been around for about 150 years...proper watches...

I remember for a while back in the late 80s they seemed to be selling a lot of  'fashion'. style watches which were quite plasticky and bright colors, but they have gone back to more traditionall styles in recent years.

Sofa, - I love Omega watches. I have a mate who has a Omega seamaster and the weight of the thing  is just unbelievable....

the only 'luxury' brand i dont like is breitling....apparanty a favourite of premiership footballers, which is all you really need to know...

that website has some pretty interesting stuff

..well maybe elsewhere too..

Today sees the election in alabama to decide who will get the republican nomination...the actual election will be in november, but basically the guy who wins today will become governor, since the democrat nominee has less chance than Raoul Moat winning husband of the year.

In the blue corner we have Bradley Byrne who some consider the more moderate face of southern republicanism, although that is in itself questionable...

In the even bluer corner we have Robert Bentley. Qualified Doctor, with his own succesful dertmatological practice.

Some of the main mudslinging in this rather bitter election campaign has surrounded several aspects of education...

Firstly , Bentley has accused byrne of advocating the teaching of evolution in schools, as opposed to creationism. Yes folks, you read that right. In 21st century USA we still have states where they teach this kind of stuff. Byrne has retorted  saying that he wants wants no such thing, and that Bentley wont support his policy of giving teachers the freedom to lead their class in prayer at anytime during the school day. You understand of course that this is only sanctioned Baptist Christian Prayer, and that anything else would be considered herecy.

I find it absolutely incredible (and I have been coming here for about 8 years) that this is still considered the norm. Bentley holds a phd is biology for gods sake - and. he still believes the world is only 6000 years old ?

absolutely bonkers. This website explains more for those interested. For the record, I am no athiest, but I find the stuff that these guys are spouting to be dangerous nonsense.

although the older bmw and mercs are now pretty cheap to own, you still need to factor in' the running costs. Servicing is still going to be pretty pricey, as are other 'wear and tear' items, like brakes, tyres etc. (A set of 4 pads and discs for the front will set you back around 500 quid on a c-class merc) You can make this aa good bit cheaper by knowing a good indepedant mechanic,, preferably somebody who specialises in your type of car

this looks pretty good as well - the processor is basically amd's version of the intel dual core processor for laptops...

you will need to get a decent windows 7 license for it though...

....

Carry on Claw.

Excellent film idea
