    Bright Headlight for Winter - Recommendations?

    https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/what-we-know-about-south-koreas-martial-law-declaration-2024-12-03/ Changed his mind hours after, was it a distraction?, from what? Odd too when citing the "Left opposition" was just "blocking the budget for next year". Maybe his bonus was in it? Hehe :D

    Shipping an ebike from Stockholm to the uk

    When I ordered my Radrunner from Rad in Netherlands they were shipping via Paris. I pointed out that there was a boat running direct from NL to IRL. Not sure if they re-routed it, but it got here quickly enough. Good luck Happy pedelec-ing!

    '*Royal* Dutch Shell', mmm, something fishy, eh? kerching ;) Never mind "save the planet" shtick. How about save our pockets? As another poster pointed out, UK has own gas n oil. But gets fleeced by the "market", I.e. monopoly. Look for politicians living Above Their Means, geddit?
