You mean they disconnected the warning light? Image

Taking my 9 year old daughter to Thorpe Park for the first time and getting her on Stealth and Swarm. Given that single tickets are £39, and we live 4 miles from the park, the season pass for £55 was a no-brainer. Back again later this week.

As above, I hope they've actually sorted the issue.

£1000 is a small price to pay to make sure your airbags work!

No, the warning light still comes on when you start the car.

Carlsberg admits it is 'probably not the best beer'

Carlsberg has reacted to consumer distaste for its lager by admitting that it was "probably not" the best in the world.

The Danish brewer has launched a new recipe following increasingly harsh reaction from drinkers to its original slogan - "Probably the best lager in the world" - which accompanied falling sales.

A new advertising campaign declares: "Probably not the best beer in the world. So we've changed it."



This line tickled me:

The brewer has shared disparaging comments about the old beer as part of the new campaign, including one that compared it to "drinking the bathwater your nan died in". :lol:

taking my daughter to her first west ham game last weekend, its always been a father son experience in the past (but he was at an all day rave) and shes never been interested before but she wanted to go last weekend when she was down from Uni, she loved singing bubbles with me - she loved eating at the ribman, she loved the stadium but thought the wine on offer was piss poor and she thought the know all bloke behind us was a dick

im actually smiling now thinking about it

London. I love it, and all that, but the 3 visits I make a year don’t half remind me how lucky I am to be out of there.
