I'm bound to say I don't understand the thinking whereby someone who has spent quite a lot of money on EAPCs and owns a vehicle to which he/she wishes to attach those bicycles, then decides to skimp on the right tool for the job. Why take the risk, albeit one may consider it small, of...

Paul Starling writes for 'The New Statesman' and if I'm not mistaken, he seems to have 'a bit of a downer' on the tory government at the moment, judging by his comments today: Paul Starling. July 18th, 2017. BE PREPARED. The Tory ship is holed below the waterline. Its crew fighting like rats...

I can't see anything I disagree with in this proposition: Tom

This infographic tells you all you need to know about the tory government's decision to select ATOS to do their dirty work. Thankfully, they are no longer performing that task. Tom

After being pretty well convinced of the merits of the Thule 916, I decided ultimately to go with the Thule 925 which I managed to get for £30 less than the best price I could find on the 916, delivered. It's capacity is sufficient for my needs as my two most used bikes have a combined weight...

For those of you who are into music, many will know of the band 'Radiohead'. Personally, their music has never reached me in the way of many other rock bands and I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to attend a concert by them. Sadly, these conceited musicians have decided to follow the lead...

Well, when you're long on arrogance and short on humility........ Tom

Has anyone down your street had a 15% pay rise recently? If ever there were any further evidence required that austerity is only for the many and not the few, this news from Kent about their tory-ruled council should seal it for those who continue to vote for the lying, cheating scum...

While some of us worry about the here and now, 'Brexit' and the lunacy of a government only acting on behalf of the few, others are protesting peacefully about the nuclear weapons issue. That is the nuclear 'deterrent' that the tories want to update at a cost of £billions to the taxpayer. When...

Just a quick summation of where we stand in the poker game being played out by our finest cardsharps over in Brussels........ Why does this look increasingly like the terms of surrender? Tom

Not so much 'curious' as downright unacceptable! What happened to 'more open government' and 'greater transparency'? If taxpayers' money is being selectively used to induce foreign-based owners of businesses in the UK to continue their presence here post-'Brexit' when previous tory governments...

Over the years, I don't think I have purchased the FT more than three or four times and that was only to see if was any better than the other broadsheets of the day. Remember their advertising slogan, 'No FT; no comment!'? Here, they have this to say about 'Brexit' and I find it interesting...

Jon Snow has a view on tax avoidance which somewhat distances him from the mainstream media, the monarchy, aristocracy, the tory party and the eejits who vote for the land and property owning, tax avoiding scum. Tom

It isn't just London - I paid £4.75 for a pint of some eminently forgettable keg beer in Cambridge just recently and that was in a pub; not an hotel or restaurant. Tom

It seems that the Samsung company doesn't believe London provides the kind of future they want to invest in, so Berlin it is! Are they wrong? I don't know but it is a little worrying. row-erupts-as-samsung-snubs-london-because-its-not-fun-unless-youre-really-rich-a3586036.html Tom
