    Anyone know what Great Yarmouth is like?

    One of those 2 words is definately Hyperbole.

    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    The account manager where I get the company mobiles from is younger than my mobile number. I feel old.

    Not sure if that is possible as they changed all the numbers at one point, most completely, others just added a 7.

    I suppose it will either be a plain steel wheel rim:$_35.JPG
    or an alloy:

    and yes, size will be on tyre eg 195/55 R16 = 16 inch

    Sure but as PN says there are issues like the hole placement and offset which determine which cars it will fit and what use is a tyre if you don't know what car it will fit? PCD, offset and spigot size seem to be the metrics that matter. Perhaps freecycle is the answer.
    I think....

    Another question. What does a useless male buy 2 non-identical (though they bloomin are identical - I can't tell em apart) twin girls for their first birthday?

    If you want to please the [STRIKE]mum[/STRIKE] parents, a toy with only one or two pieces. If you want to cause trouble, a toy with lots of pieces.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    It's a bit like Las Vegas, but smaller.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I am going to Brighton weekend after next. :). Its been over twenty years since I have been to brighton. Maybe twenty five. Saying things like that makes me feel so old. How did I even get older than twenty five?

    Much smaller - that's probably 1/4 of its total size :)

    May be worth (if on eBay/Gumtree) just posting what the wheel came from, and letting the buyer decide whether it's right for their car.

    Solves most other issues then :cool:

    True story.

    I once had a hot date with someone who lived in Wymondham.
    Somehow we ended up in Great Yarmouth.
    It was very windy and chilly and I ate a burger accompanied by very soggy chips.

    And that's also a true story.
