I'm glad I read that as it has altered my opinion on some aspects of ebiking. Thanks for supplying the link and it's good to know you're still in touch, albeit taking life a little easier these days (I assume!). Your contributions to this forum over the years have been both helpful and very...

Recognise anybody here? The only one I can identify is Mr B Ellend, intent on causing mayhem and upsetting a group of normally well-behaved students: Tom

What does corruption look like? Well, graft come in various shapes and sizes but the biggest examples have always been the province of the tory party. Now, how does this sound? "Senior Conservative ministers including Sajid Javid, Andrea Leadsom, Penny Mordaunt and David Gauke have used...

As one of those smug bar stewards who gave up on Microshit......soft, soft! I don't know what came over this Mac just then....ahem! I'm not surprised that Windows 10 is throwing up problems as every one of its predecessors all had problems to one degree or another - I think it's in the DNA. In...

The 'big society', transparency, 'we're all in it together'...............nope, the electorate, it seems, cannot be trusted to absorb our message correctly until the material has been doctored to the point where it bears no relation to the truth redacted into a presentation so heavily imbued...

Paul Mason has a view on the leader of the tory party which I agree with as, if she is stabbed in the back by her loyal followers in her party, what would be the point of replacing her with any of the other senior figures in that party? Because the prospect of life after 'Brexit' now look...

David Schneider, actor, comic and occasional social commentator, blessed with a traditional Jewish sense of humour and an irreverence towards all sorts in public life including others of the same faith, gave us his take on the leaked report on the ramifications of 'Brexit': I reckon that...

I just love the imagery online, created out of the 'Brexit' nonsense - some of it is highly amusing while still making a very important point, as in this piece: Tom

Remember, it didn't start with gas chambers or jackboots on the ground. It started with politicians dividing people. It started with "us vs them". It started with intolerance and hate speeches. It started with the demonisation of immigrants, refugees and anyone deemed 'unfit'. It started when...

New stamp - get in quick as first editions are always the most collectable! Guaranteed to never get delivered. Tom

Loved these from mainstream social media yesterday: "If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed. If you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed.” - Mark Twain Tom

You're being pedantic - you know perfectly well that the 'Brexit' effect began a long time before A50 was activated. Unfortunately, many, like me, firmly believe that things are undoubtedly going to become far, far worse once we are out of the EU. As a complete plonker once said....... Tom

Should someone be having a word with the US President about the stuff American news media is putting out about Britain's status as a world power? Perhaps this is part of a subtle plan to ensure we feel an increased need of the protection afforded by American nuclear missiles, available to us...

No, I can't agree with that as I think his point was that the decline in the status quo in regard to High Street retail outlets has been exacerbated by 'Brexit', further undermining many businesses built on very shaky foundations. There can be no doubt that the effects of the withdrawal from...

Brilliantly perceptive piece OG! Once upon a time I drank in a pub named 'The Case Is Altered' and always wondered about the name's origins. The story behind the name is not at all clear but the 'Brexit' situation today compared to June 2016 fits the bill aptly for such an epithet. The...

I'm not entirely sure about that 'Wicky'! I do apologise if I failed to grasp your point or misunderstood what you were saying but I always have a difficulty when people applaud or criticise other peoples and use political or strategic situations to justify their opinion on those matters. I...

That is to fall into the trap that dishonesty is somehow acceptable at a particular level and/or within a certain group in society. Transparency is far more important than any 'right' to withhold truth based on short or long-term occupancy of a privileged position and I include all levels of...

Does the interviewee in this clip remind you of anybody? Although it's American, it certainly portrays some members of the younger generation in the UK that I have encountered. Tom

The web pages produced by Ad Sinistram', a politically left-wing organisation, frequently produces some very revealing facts that would escape all the sheep who have been brainwashed into receiving their political news from the extreme-right via their propaganda outlets which comprise about 95%...

On balance, the tank scenario wins it for me!:D Tom
