    Fair play to you man! To be honest, giving up anything like that is a necessity really, especially smokes.

    I liked that model Avensis. The front lens was different from the rest when they came out. I was also an iggy pop fan and they played passenger in the ad for it.

    Nice to see you back dude. I was self employed for years but when the recession started I ended up with nothing. I thought I would end up with nothing and the worst thing was sitting at home with no work and none coming up...

    Keep annoying the places where you have applied to and be persistant and sell yourself to them......:)

    Hey there, can i get a bit of advice. Recently purchased a 08 Mazda 6 and two weeks after purchase it was giving trouble, so dealer has taken it and given me a replacement car, but I received a bill in the post for the temporary insurance cover, is it up to the dealer to pay this bill?

    I wouldn't see it as an unreasonable request to ask the Dealer to cover the charge.
