Your symptoms sound very much like those I experienced after my other half rode her bike through a rather deep ford. It was fine all the 4 miles home and the bike was then unused for about a week but on taking it for another ride, the problem manifested itself. I managed to work out that it...

I am dreadfully sorry for the victims of the Nice massacre, as I was for the 7/7 events in London and 9/11 in New York. I am also very sorry for all those murdered in Turkey because of the hatred of a group of people occupying high positions with the ability to order other people to do their...

There isn't really a lot goes wrong with the Cytronex system but if it's outside the scope of your electro/mech ability, I'd suggest you book it in with the guys down at Winchester who can usually resolve issues and turn the bike round, ready to ride again in a couple of hours or so. It's a...

Really! That's news to me. In my view, Johnson is about as much use in politics as a chocolate fireguard. My choice for a Mayor with wit, intelligence and humour would be someone like Ian Hislop (if he could be a**sed) but the present incumbent seems like a decent chap and appeals broadly...

That, Dave, sums up nicely the moribund situation that seems to be developing in relation to 'Brexit'. Any appetite for the UK to divorce from the EU appears to have diminished since the prospect of actually doing the deed, with all that it entails, has entered into the minds of those who were...

Do pay attention OG; the dog's name was Toto!:rolleyes: Tom

I think 'Straw man' would be more apt! If memory serves correctly, the dog was 'Toto". Tom

Ignorant Dave? I know perfectly well from TV, press, radio and the internet that the previously untested procedure under Article 50 requires the exiting state to formally initiate the process when they wish to leave. After that point, there is a two-year provision contained as described in the...

My understanding is that Robert Halfon, the skinhead who represents Harlow, is deputy party leader so by extension, I'd say he's the best-placed to be described as deputy PM. Tom

That's post #1973 'shemozzle' - that was the year that was! Tom

Oh, that's just nonsense Dave. You have spent too long listening to Farage &Co spouting exactly that kind of rubbish. The EU is probably the most democratic, large-scale entity ever created and it only continues to operate because the representatives of 28 nation states agree on a whole raft...

The tories seem to have taken the ostrich position over this Article 50 issue. As one who voted to remain in the EU, I'm appalled at this indecision on the part of the government as I believe they were given a clear mandate by the people. Democratically, in my opinion, the MPs should debate...

A French connection of mine sent me this which I happily share. It's in French but even if you only retain the most tenuous grasp since schooldays, you should be able to get the gist of it. If not, any online translator will quickly provide an (imperfect) English version. I use Bing when I'm...

It's started already...... Tom

So, Farage on the morning of his finest hour, announces on TV that the NHS WILL NOT be getting the 350 million that the country pays to the EU. I knew that was never going to happen, just as I knew that the figure is wrong. I suspect, however, that an awful lot of people believed the 'Brexit'...

Following yesterday's events and the uncertainty of the markets this morning, the Treasury has released a preview of the new £1 coin: Tom

Having watched Ca-moron, fairly graciously I'm bound to say, announce his resignation and after seeing Farage wallow in triumphalism, can we expect an announcement later today that UKIP is being dissolved, their raison d'être now accomplished? Tom

My faith in common, human decency has been shattered but as a democrat, I must accept the will of the majority. June 23rd 2016 marked the end of the longest, settled period of unity in recorded European history and while I sincerely hope the people of Britain do not come to regret their...

Err......not necessarily Dave! Apparently, the government has no legal obligation to do anything as a result of the referendum. Clearly, should they lose, then certain things will inevitably happen but they are free, for example, should they believe it appropriate, to raise the matter as a...
