    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I’m surprised they are still doing these polls. They have a consistent track record of providing useless information. I don’t know why anyone publishes, refers to or acknowledges anything they predict. A random number generator would provide more reliable data.

    That there is no alternative source which can yield sufficient energy to power the hospitals in which they were, or will be borne. Additionally, the industry, food supply and infrastructure which enabled their parents to benefit from an economy which funded their upbringing, sustenance, shelter...

    Wind Turbines

    The fact is, if wasn’t for fossil fuel derived power, you wouldn’t have the equipment or the energy available to you to make your contribution to this thread, which condemns fossil fuel. It’s all very well doing the trendy eco thingy, but mankind has an insatiable appetite for energy and as we...

    New BBC4 Programme

    It could do, but some people might not find it very fanny.

    New BBC4 Programme

    I’ve just seen a promotion for a BBC4 programme which focuses on the lives of women. It’s a kind of collage of short excerpts of various women’s lives. Someone has taken the decision to call this programme about women, Snatches.

    Fat people discrimination

    You would think so, but it doesn't. Circumference = Pi x Diameter. The diameter of the earth is 7917 miles or 41801760 feet So the circumference is 3.142 x 41801760 = 131341129 feet Enlarge the earth by 1 foot in all directions and diameter = 41801760 + 2 The enlarged earth now has a...

    Fat people discrimination

    I’m not so sure. If you put a giant belt around the equator of the earth, you would only need one just over 6 foot longer if the earth put on weight and expended by 1foot in all directions. Apply that to someone’s gut ......

    Fat people discrimination

    It’s a well documented fact that fat people are mean spirited, so it’s only right that they are penalised.

    You now know where he lives. Have you thought about buying 5 litres of red emulsion paint and a funnel instread of the camera? Nip back during the night and pour the whole can through his letterbox, you’ll get a greater degree of satisfaction than going to the police with your footage. SJ Cam...

    Wisper eMTB sneak preview

    That’s a great looking bike David, I’d not seen this thread until today. Do not listen to the carbon nay-sayers! As with aluminium, it may take an enormous amount of energy to produce the frame, and carbon may be more difficult to recycle, but why would you want to recycle such a thing of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The problem for Corbyn stems from the fact that a large percentage of lifelong Labour voters voted for Brexit. Therefore, he will be required to gamble that traditional non Labour voters will switch to Labour in order to stop Brexit. Add into the mix that Corbyn is luke warm about the EU and the...

    That's ok, not everyone shares my deep seated & festering loathing of the woman. :-)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The only thing which surprises me regarding May's actions is that other people are surprised by them. Surely the public must have concluded that she is barely capable of carrying out basic life functions such as getting dressed or going to the toilet unsupervised. As an engineer, there is a...

    The Civil Service getting it very right.

    Over the years, HMRC have given me some great tips which have saved me a considerable sum of money in tax. If you are honest with them, I generally find them to be on side over most issues.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don’t understand the problem with the House of Lords voting to give parliament a say on the final Brexit deal. If May is going to get us, “the best possible deal”, “what is best for this country” and something which “works for the people of Great Britain” then such a deal will sail through...

    Well they’ve tried everything else, so why not chuck one of these two novelty acts at it?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have no sympathy for Amber Dudd, but we mustn't forget that the imposter occupying Number 10 is responsible for bringing about the circumstances which resulted in Dudd's resignation.

    Panasonic Ebike Motor Identification

    Can anyone help me ID these two Panasonic motors. I would like to know the voltage and the year of manufacture mainly, but anything else which can be derived from the photos would be useful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    The Last Wisper Sneak Preview of the year. 12kg Road Bike

    That’s a really nice bike. I don’t know anything about the motor, battery & how it all integrates, but it looks and reads great.
