They don't really need setting up anymore either. You just plug them in and they work, not like my old Sega Master System that needed you to tune the TV into the right frequency by twiddling little dials on the front

Would you pay someone 5 quid to cook some rice and add some chicken.

People pay it, if they dont know how to.

How do you dispose of your Oil please seeing as you will not have a carrier waste disposal licence and thus will have to pay for disposal somewhere along the line, also what containers do you use and can you reassure me that you do not tip your oil down your drain seeing as you are scouse, thank you.

Take it to the local recycling center. They have oil disposal there and why not use your oil drain pan as a container - after all, that's what it's designed for.

WTF SetH?

The local Civic Amenity Sites have oil disposal facilities, so you can just take the oil there and get rid of it safely and legally. I can also say that Ian does the same as me, and uses old oil bottles for the waste oil, as the bottles can be used over and over again. A scouser recycling as well hey!?

There are some people out there with too much money! I sold a WII when they first came out for several hundred quid, the bloke bought it for his son so he could have it at his birthday party.. He collected it in a Ferrari 456.

I bet he would have paid someone £80 to set it up! lol

I thought your account had been used by someone else, but that whoever had used it knew too much about Ian and therefore it must have been you.

I dunno, just got confused

That would only work if 'leaving your come back' was actually a phrase with some innuendo. The only innuendo there is the word come, which sounds like cum. D-, try harder next time.
