  1. Personally, my biggest gripe is the proposal to make the testing and information data-bases a 'uni-lateral' system, in my opinion the more information thats collated the more fnck ups that happen, it all becomes way too complicated for 'inputers' to handle and goes tits up-recent example is the HMRC tax mess, how many have heard of the DVLA sending drivers licenses back with categories missing?(this happened to a Police Chief inspector !), or not getting them returned at all, Home Office and NHS discs going missing, Bank customer data discs turning up in bus stations etc etc These are my own opinions and in no way de-mean or slander any one in particular-but-the bottom line seems to be that technology is making life more difficult, which is a paradox, its supposed to make our lives easier ! technology systems and data-bases are becoming more and more complex and are run/administered by humans and we're not 'keeping up', remember the old days when you went to a bank with a book and the teller lifted an inked stamp and thumped your book and a receipt,-counted the money in or out-job done I need to go chop some more wood,,,,,
  2. snipped from the Motorcycle news, have a read at the article and take the opportunity to fill in the questionnaire at the bottom, there is only 3 WEEKS consultation time before this proposal is moved up a notch its expensive enough these days to keep a bike on the road, Brussels plan to make it harder http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/General-news/2010/September/sep2210-euro-moto-threat/

    Just a suggestion so 'flame me if you will', as it seems that a lot of new members join up all the time, and by far most are polite/friendly enough to make an 'intro' either as an intro or as part of their first post (which is usually a 'fix-it question), would it not be possible to make the existing FAQ section into a 'New members' section, and, incorporate the FAQ's as a sticky 'inside' this new titled section ? as a noob must have a look at the main page 'looking for the door' and not see one ?

    Kin 'Ell Drew thats effin shit news m8, makes my blood boil to hear stuff like this when its all down to greedy selfish fat cat b@stards, and a fukkin loony clueless government, on the radio the other day the Governor (no less) of the Bank of England Mervyn King said that its feasable that the knock-on of the banking crisis will be felt 2 generations ahead, what sickens me most is the 'brains and captains' at the top will have enough of our fekkin money stuffed into accounts to keep them and theirs going til us daft kunts sort it all out through blood sweat and tears,,,,, I need to go and chop logs !
