I used to think that the BBC was a great institution and something which we could be proud of. Over the last 20 years it has been infiltrated and taken over by left wing sympathisers. It is now a very politically biased organisation that is no longer fit for purpose. Worse still, it pretends to...

There's nothing wrong with Donald Trump. That seems to be the message coming out of the USA's democratic process. There seems to be a problem for the more left leaning liberals have. They love the idea of democracy until it doesn't deliver the outcome they desire. They then vilify and smear the...

That somewhat waters down the initial admission that there is something inherently wrong with the motor design.

I can't quite see how bumping up a kerb affects the software code. Does the sudden jolt of either dropping the bike or hitting the kerb cause all the 0s and 1s which make up the software to suddenly become jumbled up?

I've been in hiding all week, too terrified to venture out in case the French release migrant hoards across the channel. Of course this would involve the French ripping up one of those agreements which the "In Campaigners" tell us would send shock waves through the international community. I...

His exploits are too numerous to do them all justice, but I particularly liked his approach to risk, or rather his risk management. It seemed like he never considered a risk to be a chance happening, rather a potential event which he would think through and have a plan to mitigate the danger. He...

I think you are right. I'm sure there are young people today with sufficient skill and character to emulate Captain Brown's achievements. If the circumstances don't align for them, we will never know what they were capable of. He makes the point quite prominently that a major part of what he...

I saw an announcement on the BBC news last night that Captain Eric Brown had died aged 97. A great man who had lived out several lifetimes of excitement and adventure during his 97 years. I can't ever imagine circumstances producing another man like Eric Brown in the future. The much overused...

I have an old red dry powder extinguisher too, and the regulations probably did need a review and enforcing with a bit more vigour. But I can't begin to imagine what went on in the meeting where it was decided to camouflage the various types by painting them all the same colour, red, and to then...

Don't know if the EU is responsible, but one of the most ridiculous colour coding changes relates to fire extinguishers. Pre change, the entire body of the device was painted in the relevant colour, water-red, co2-black, powder-blue etc. Dead easy to identify in a panic. Someone then came up...

It may damage our reputation with countries which stand to gain from bleeding our welfare and health systems dry. But they are countries who's people tend to offer us very little, so who cares? Surely if we stop these spongers from coming here and hence reduce our welfare bill, wouldn't that...

What if we stick two fingers up to that and stop paying them anything? What will they do, throw us out of the EU?

Another satisfied Panasonic customer. Kalkhoff were fools to stop using that motor.

I don't think that either of them came out of the incident well. I'm not so sure the cyclist was excessively biased towards the middle of the road. Those wide angle lens cameras can distort distance and speed. I tend to give parked cars plenty of room in anticipation of a door suddenly...

Sorry if this has been posted before, but it is worth 3 minutes 58 seconds of your life................ The bike sounds like it might be an electric one.

I believe the courts can draw an inference from a suspects silence. If there is evidence linking a suspect to a crime, in this case it would be the vehicle on hire to a suspect being present and being used in commission of the crime (I'm assuming that the police would be treating this as an...

You may not have guessed, but I'm leaning towards leaving the EU. I know I sometime post some deliberately provocative statements on here, but in general, I try to approach matters with an open mind. I think that you are right, David Cameron is in real danger of alienating the public by taking...

I completely agree about it not being an adequate basis on which to make a decision. I'm working on the basis of the Prime Minister finding it necessary to lie, gag his cabinet and to deceive the public in order to make his case for EU membership. That's a good indicator that the EU is not good...

I have been waiting for the outcome of the Prime Minister's renegotiation of the UK's EU membership before deciding which way I will vote. Sadly, what he has achieved, pending approval from other member states, does not resemble what he promised prior to the general election. I think he owes it...

As much as I would like to agree with your proposal, I can't. I very much believe in, beyond reasonable doubt, and sadly if the hirer won't cooperate you never will prove who was driving beyond reasonable doubt. What is not used enough is the facility the courts have to draw an inference from...
