    They could negotiate on it for a couple of years as the blokes family think he's a total ****ing mug for being the one in charge. Especially when there is nothing wrong with the car they have got.

    Tory MP Michael Fabricant hits back over 'wig jibe'

    Michael Fabricant has slapped down a fellow Tory MP who appeared to suggest, behind his back, he was wearing a wig.

    Mr Fabricant, whose trademark blond locks have been the subject of much speculation, saw social media posts about Huw Merriman's alleged mockery.

    Mr Merriman had said "definitely a wig" to Kelly Tolhurst, the MP sitting next to him, according to Twitter users.

    Lichfield MP Mr Fabricant - who was asking the prime minister a question - was not amused by the alleged comment.

    He told the BBC: "Huw is pretty short-sighted, he's a relatively new member of Parliament - bless - he didn't know that PMQs is actually televised.

    "And I'm sure if he did, he would have behaved in a more grown-up way."

    Mr Merriman did not want to comment.

    Mr Fabricant is known for his colourful personality and fondness for eye-catching stunts but has always been reluctant to discuss his hair, insisting it was a personal matter.

    He once admitted to the Daily Mirror that he had undergone some "enhancement of the follicular area", but denied sporting a wig.

    He should be able to rule out winding up with one without an engine.

    First question is that if there's "nothing wrong with the car they have got" what's he doing in a showroom?
    The reason he is in the showroom is because the car he has been driving for 40 years he never wanted and he now wants to go for a different car. The sad thing is, some people are trying to stop him from getting his car because they they are jealous .
    You also get some people who can't drive and don't understand driving but decide after he chooses his car that they are somehow experts when really they should stick to getting the bus. :eek:

    But Jeremy's family (did I mention he was called Jeremy?) have taken a vote and the majority want the new car. So he goes to the salesman, and says "I'll give you what ever you ask for it because without it I can't work or take the kids on holiday." The Salesman, whose name is Junckers, thinks, here's a sheep, let's shear him.

    It does have an engine but some people can't accept his decision to buy a car and keep spreading false rumours that it doesn't have one.

    No, what he has ruled out is buying any other car. He has to have that one,. He tells the salesman that and waits on his goodwill. And the salesman grins back with a rictus smile because he knows there's one born every minute.

    If we rule out no deal, we are reliant on the EU giving us whatever they think fit - or else we can't leave the EU. And increasingly, that is why Leavers believe Remainers want to rule out a no deal. To hijack the 2016 vote

    Fantastic, we have discovered that some metaphors should not be examined too closely, because they are not literal. Real progress, all will be well.

    If it does breakdown then Jeremy will get it fixed but at least it will be his car.

    Silly person for buying something that could breakdown without a guarantee if you ask me. Depends if it is fixable or a write off. A woman down my street called Theresa did the same. Her family wanted a shiny red one aswell, she got the blue one instead, against their wishes. It's rusted to hell now. She so regrets not keeping her old reliable Austin allegro.
