    Whether he is entitled to compensation, can only be proven in court. Legal opinion is just that .... opinion. Now the cost of doing business by the insurer has gone up , not necessarily the amount of claims, but the depth of their resources , so they will of course be seeking to recoup this...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It sounds to me that someone didn't do their homework. What you describe is more or less what I suspected. I cannot see the EU having any problem with the importation.

    Thanks.. This is extremely odd. They are either importing something into NI ,or they are importing something into mainland UK. If the latter, it is a UK problem. If it is the former then what chemical is it?.

    Transporting E-bikes are a nightmare!

    How to answer this?. Getting a towhitch is the single most useful accessory for a car. So yes bite the bullet and get one. And if it needs garage fitting ..so what?. If you DIY, you could be buying trouble. The Halfords do have half decent 2 and 3 bike tow hitch mounted racks. I have used it...

    Yep!. I will wear the higher torque argument, but not the efficiency one. There are advantages in having an wound rotor in an AC motor as one can more easily manipulate the power speed curves. But the headlines in the article were all incorrect. We have non rare earth and contactless free...

    Was that a joke?. The 3 phase induction motor is about 100 years old!. There is no rare earth materials and no contacts. .. just a shaded pole to induce a little lag.

    I put it to you that you are unfamiliar with the weather in Armagh!. We have an observatory there, which was so successful that they put up a planetarium , so they might occasionally see stars. If you want to put it in a place where the sun don't shine.... The triangle of Armagh, Portadown...

    My theory is that it was a miserable wet afternoon in Armagh... Not an unusual occurrence, and the good Bishop , who was no idiot, was bored out of his trolley, so he did the addition. Never in a month of Sundays would he have expected anyone to believe in it.

    Nope.. Adam and Eve, came over to Co. Antrim 6000 years ago. There was no soup , primordial or otherwise , that's just godless propaganda . We popped into the ready to wear universe, just a God planned. God then spent ages and ages sticking fossils and bones and things deeper and deeper into the...

    Things are going to progress very rapidly now in the NI Protocol.... To the extent that it will be cancelled unilaterally . Edwin Poots has been made the new leader of the DUP.

    Being no religion or non Christian is fully compatible with being God Fearing ... actually nearly guarantees God Fearing ... 50 Million God Fearing Bible Belt Fundamentalists are certainly not Christian.

    Nope!. The idea was to drop nukes as shells as the tanks crossed the Luneburg Heath plateau, . This would have bought the time needed to bring across a full army . Pity about Hamburg and NW Germany.. well we are all in it together, .. and the USA planners are well prepared to sacrifice lives...

    I don't want to wade in on this, but that statement you gave in enlarged print was as most aspirational and encouragement , not a mandate. Now because I was in a public service position,.. essentially a monopoly , it makes total sense to be a member of a trade union

    There is a hidden extra in PR and multiple seat constituencies, which you are omitting. . Voter engagement. If 10% of the people are flat earth creationists, then 5% of your parliament will typically contain flat earthers . This means it is broadly representative. There is a built in bonus for...

    I suspect that it has. The AZ seems to give a greater reaction to those people whose immune systems have already been shocked .. As my sons has been over decades.

    Good luck with the heart op. I think your consultant has the right of it, and had you not been vaccinated, we would no longer be trading insults. I also was lucky. Had I got CV19 before my stents in September October , I would certainly have singing in Celestial Choir. Probably at 95% chance...

    To hell with your hernia, .. what about my 6 stents? Im not sure I want a rebore and replacing them with a mild steel potscrub. Actually I don't think either of use need to worry. As a metal I think its pretty stable.
