I've had the Aldi version for the past nearly two years. It happily takes the weight of mine, complete and in total, it's a heavy bstrd. Like Old Dave, I hammered some skewers up through the floorboards and managed to impale the cat. Severs it right, for crapping up there.

I use these, from 12V up to 80V. 30 amp ATO Blade In-Line Fuse Holder / Fuseholder 30AMP | eBay

Just seen the PanSTARRS comet, at sunset, down to the right of the moon, about ten degrees above the horizon. Needed binos, and it's just a faint smudge of a matchstick head, with the tail pointing to the upper left, but it's quite a sight. NASA - Comet PANSTARRS Rises to the Occasion Mid-March

All the pointy ends you could wish to impale the rider on.

Fake. I was listening for a soft click as he turned a switch on and off, but he's not daft enough to let it be heard.

Exactly so. I don't like it, but fossil fuel will be with us for a long while yet. Eventually, all the scare-mongering will have a beneficial effect of making most of the housing stock energy-efficient (at least, as much as reasonably possible) and home appliances will steadily go down in their...

Point of order; for at least the last two years prior to WW2, Chamberlain was also desperately trying to buy time so Britain could get some decent warbirds to what would be the front-line squadrons. He may have been an appeaser until then, but even he saw the absolute inevitability of war with...

There's no need to stop with former PMs - look at the number of directorships and board seats or consultancy fees earned by former Ministers of the Crown. Corruption in Westminster has been rife for decades. The knives should be out for them all, not just those of a particular stripe. I tell...

What a load of pie-in-the-sky bloody nonsense.

There's little doubt that some cycle components were designed by the Krankies, on an off day.

Strikes me as a ******* design. I would modify this way. Pull the axle right back in the dropouts so it's hard against the stops. Tighten the axle nuts. Fit a chain with a bit of droop; not too much. Fit a chain tensioner as shown above. Sorted.

Nah; it's the old, "If I'm not there, they'll be talking about me, the bitches."

Yes, and if you're anywhere near a decent farmers' outlet you can pick it up for peanuts. I was using chainsaw oil years ago on all my m'cycles that were fitted with Scottoilers, rather than pay through the nose for the same stuff with a dye in it.

From what I understand, the Boeing Dreamliner problem wasn't caused by the lithium battery pack itself, but by a faulty charging system. Of course, there have been other incidents and even loss of aircraft (the one in Dubai a couple of years ago) which makes carriers very nervous, especially...

Full marks for producing something that looks a bit different. Just like every other bike designer tries to do and then finds hardly anyone wants to buy them, because most people don't want to stand out from the crowd all that much. Low marks for the lies told on the webpage about the...

Ditto. I used clips on and off, for years but the simple expedient of trouser-sock-tucking means you're never stuck if you forget your clips. Apart from that, my ankles objected to clips in the end. I don't find my bottom is much of a problem, to be honest.

What's the betting he didn't properly clamp the headstock before attempting it? Also, he should have used a LH drillbit, not a fecking useless cheesy extractor (spit!). Some mechanic.
