brexit

[stevemarl]

No, of course not about brexit - just to wind you up!!!!
No, really, Trump. He trusts Putin, then he really meant he DIDN`T trust Putin: The NHS would be part of a trade deal, then 2 hours later it`s NOT `on the table.`
Name-calling critics, denying global warming, supporting gun ownership when they experience 160 mass shooting in 1st 6 months of this year - that`s one a day!!! Without hyperbole this man is a deluded, unstable freak with the emotional maturity of a small child. Yet he`s running the world? What the f... is going on?????
I`m glad I`m old, I won`t see the end of all this.

I can't decide if this bloke is a dangerous buffoon. Or if it's refreshing to have someone in the limelight who isn't afraid to speak his thoughts and come out with stuff in this snowflake totally otherwise PC world.

A lot of Americans haven't a clue what the NHS is, including him, he said that with some ignorance, but then changed his mind and accepted it when he was told what it is, that's good for him to be like that isn't it? Most politicians never admit an error.

Doesn't he just say what other people would think but are too afraid?

At times he seems to be the antidote to a lot of what we complain about, i.e. a sanitised PC world, being afraid to actually speak, over sensitivity, etc.

And he has done what no other president managed to do with North Korea.

I just don't know.

But Paul, if he was consistent I`d totally agree, somebody who has a plan & sticks to it, great! But he doesn`t, he changes his statements so randomly , he gives the impression of being completely unstable. He`ll literally say one thing then a few days later he`ll deny it. The classic was Putin when he said `he saw no reason not to trust this man` live on TV. Then when there was a backlash, `I meant to say I don`t trust him` Simple mistake. When our Dave was 6 he`d come out with better excuses than that! (eg `it wasn`t me it was my hand`) He appoints people then when they contradict him he dismisses them - and gives them a childish slagging off. On camera boasting about how power means you can grope women.
No, I would agree if he was genuine but he`s really a loose cannon, IMHO of course, he`s all over the place. Not really what you want in a world leader.

Bottom line is, he really worries me Paul, he IS the kind of guy who could believe a nulear conflict was winnable. He scares me.

He doesn't offend me personally, I watched his interview with Piers Morgan on GMB and it sounded good what he said.
But I understand tomorrow his attitude and comments could all change.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but Sadiq Khan was childish to call him what he did, and in his position should keep his thoughts to himself. Typically he didn't like Trumps reply (what did he expect), and yes he should be more worried about the state of his own city!

You did well, but see me after school (when was the last time you saw that!)

Along time ago, and not my favorite words

Could try harder and easily distracted was on most of my school reports (Remember those) Nothing much has changed

Yes, terrifying times! I kept some, which I still have.

He was right! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4sCyE0yES0

Now he'd get my vote.

[stevemarl]

Seriously I would`ve voted for Lemmy, he was a 100% genuine guy - still saddened by his loss.

Well it passed, another year! Found this nice pic of him with his little friend from next door:

Need a pic of your Capri now

[stevemarl]

You mean you don`t like the minimalist, understated styling of the Uno???? tsk!

Well you don't see many around now.

Nice Capri, sure I haven't see a pic before

I had a nice chat with Bert (owner of the Impala) at the weekend. I was in awe of a Black Corvette from his club, he was telling me the guy had spent something like £50,000 on it so far!

[stevemarl]

Paul,
I`m sure I know the `vette you mean, it was at Northwich last year. Get down to Barton, 1st sunday of the month, Corvettes, Mustangs, trans-Ams, Cadillacs, masses of really incredible vehicles. They have a really nice clubhouse - we`ll even buy you a coffee!
from `50s to present day:

There was a pic I`m sure but years ago. Thanks for your comment!

IIRC of all the Mk1s like mine there are now 47 left on the road. As I overheard the tester to his mate today, amazed: "250 thousand miles, it`s passed the brake test - it`s even passed the f***ing emissions!" It just refuses to die!

[stevemarl]

This?

Hi Steve,
As said, your Capri looks to be a beauty, very nice indeed. Is it the original factory paint as I don't recall you ever mentioning having any bodywork done?
I think we need to see more Uno pics too!
As you say, the pre-facelift Uno is incredibly rare in the UK now. I saw a rather nice 45, also on an F plate, at a car show in Cardiff a few weeks ago:


I like the way, in typical Laser Page fashion, this thread has deviated somewhat from the original post. Given the original subject matter, cars are much more worthy of our attention anyway......
