    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am not so sure, there is a rumour that Tim Matin owner of Wetherspoons is working on a secret plan on behalf of BJ and the merry gang of leavers. Beneath all the Wethersoon pubs in the Country he is going to install cutting/boaring machines. The idea is to cut us adrift, then all the leavers...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Absolutely, at perhaps the most important time for the UK since WW2 we needed good leaders and in TM and JC we have probably had the two worst. We are now stuck with someone who is a proven liar, a cheat, a con man and someone who I think is capable of anything to remain in power. Even...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Its a shame that very few politicians or pundits made this point strongly during the time of the referendum. I can remember seeing interviews by the BBC and other organisations, where they let the leaver politicians get away with this rubbish and did not challenge them on it. If we do leave...

    I really hope your right, the financial markets seem to think we are heading that way though.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I gave up hoping that people would see what a waste of time and money the Brexit project is, in particular the No Deal version of it is. No Deal for many people is now an act of faith is like a religion, there is no logic behind it. Many people don't care how much it will cost, or how many...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Here are some quotes from Guy Verhofstadt in an opinion piece in The Guardian on the impact of a no deal Brexit. "The few who may prosper are the wealthy bankers and hedge fund managers who have bet on chaos." "The EU made a decision to stay out of the UK referendum, but we won’t be afraid to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I noticed this a few weeks ago when he did the one to one interview with Andrew Neil. I thought he looked a good 8 to 10 years older than he actually was.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    At the time of the South Sea bubble in the 1720s a great many companies where created in the City of London to take advantage of investors desperate to invest in anything they thought would make a profit. Many of these companies were fraudulent or had lunatic purposes. One company was created...

    Cannondale Synapse Neo

    Hi Bonky, I found the saddle a bit tough for the first couple of rides but got used to it after that. The longest ride I will tend to do though is about 50 miles. I find that after 3 to 4 hours on a bike is enough for me, I have never been one who can enjoy 6 or 7 hours in the saddle. I don't...

    Cannondale Synapse Neo

    Did a 31 mile loop around Snowdon in North Wales the other day, took this pic on the way. Still very pleased with the Neo, have had one puncture so far will probably get some Marathon Plus tyres in the next couple of months.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Does everyone think BJ has it in the bag or does JH have any chance at all? Apparently more than half the membership have yet to vote, it had been assumed that most of the votes would have been in by now. The longer the race has gone on, the more BJ is exposed as just been full of bluster and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I would not be surprised if one of BJs favorite quotes is this one by Groucho Marx "Those are my principles and if you don't like them….well I have others".

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Just watched Andrew Neil question JH and BJ, its going to be a shame when Neil retires, he is the only interviewer who does not let BJ bluster his way through the questions. All TV and radio journalists should watch this programme and learn how to deal with someone like BJ.

    New Orbea Gains (2020 model?)

    Yes I am sure it would be. I wonder if any manufacturers will consider putting the new CX motor which is both lighter and smaller than the old one into racing type bikes. If so then one of those with the motor hacked would even leave Soundwave for dust.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think Hunt won the debate, not that it will do him any good, BJ is going to be the next PM. I don't think BJ is capable of giving a straight answer to a straight question though, I also thought the presenter was not strong enough with him. She let him get away with just spouting waffle to...

    New Orbea Gains (2020 model?)

    I don't have an Orbea Gain but I do have an e-mtb and an e-racing type pedelec so should be able to give you some useful information. If I am doing about 17 mph on my e-mtb then I would be able to do about 19 mph on my e-racing bike for the same physical effort. However that does not mean I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I assumed if there is a GE fairly soon that BJ would form some kind of pact with NF but after reading this, I don't think it is quite as straight forward as I thought. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jul/09/tory-pact-brexit-party-farage-general-election-conservatives

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    vfr400 has got it all in hand, the get away pedelec he is building for good old Tommy has the following modes Eco, Sport, Turbo and Amphibious, so TR will be able to make his own way across the Atlantic (providing the battery doesn't run out lol).
