    UKIP Manifesto

    I'm not convinced that a 1.6 trillion pound debt owed by a country which is borrowing billions to give away to other countries makes any sense at all and the concept makes the debt even more terrifying. I am very much in favour of reducing our country's outgoings on this type of vanity exercise

    UKIP Manifesto

    The differencewith UKIP is that they have said exactly where they are going to make cuts to fund their expenditure. The others have not. We as country are currently one thousand six hundred thousand million pounds in debt (1.6 trillion). That is terrifying. labour and Conservative plans centre...

    UKIP Manifesto

    I agree that we have been let down by the main stream party's political manifestos and broken political promises for decades. From what I've seen, Labour, Conservative and Lib Dems are no different this year. They seem to have entered into an NHS Top Trumps bidding war with no real plan to...

    UKIP Manifesto

    I'm not going to disagree with you, but I hope that you are wrong and if voting was a true reflection of people's feelings, UKIP would have many MPs. But we are stuck with UK democracy, which is an elected dictatorship of bungling incompetence for the foreseeable.

    UKIP Manifesto

    I've just read the UKIP Manifesto. It seems to contain plenty of common sense and unlike the others, gives an indication as to where the money is coming from. I like it.

    Cassette wear?

    The best advice is to; 1) Put the Park Chain tool in the dustbin (Most important). 2) Keep the drive train moderately clean (no need to be OCD). Two chains can help. Clean and grease one whilst using the other and then swap. 3) Keep riding until no amount of cleaning and re-greasing stops the...

    I have heard that the BBC are going to fire him. Ironically, it will be from a cannon into a caravan.

    Stealth bomber arrived this week with a 5400w motor

    I remember Most of those costs apply equally to the Stealth Bomber (snigger at the name). I don't know what a new battery costs but, but the pence per mile of battery deterioration could we'll be approaching the pence per mile for petrol. The little Honda is just as good, if not better than...

    Stealth bomber arrived this week with a 5400w motor

    Should have saved some money. This is much cheaper, faster, it can be used legally and has better range. The zombie video is hillarious. The fact that it's meant to be serious just adds to the hilarity.

    Someone in a passing car once threw a kettle at me. It missed.

    Electric bike rider run down by fashion designer

    I agree John, this man wasn't a rioter. He was in fact a looter, a man ransacking some unfortunate person's business which had been attacked by the rioting scum. They should have been shot on site and their bodies loaded into a skip by a man driving a JCB.

    Electric bike rider run down by fashion designer

    Volutary Manslaughter requires the defendant to have intended to kill or to have had an intention to cause GBH. The usual procedure is to charge murder / attempted murder. The jury may then have the opportunity to convict of manslaughter if a statutory defence is satisfied, one of which can be...

    Upgrades to Shimano STEPS system

    I like the look of this Shimano system and I imagine that it will be well engineered. Has it started to appear on bikes in the UK yet?

    I wasn't aware that anyone had suggested otherwise.

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    The likelihood is that at some time or other, if we fly frequently enough, we have all got on a plane and the pilot has been hiding a medical issue. The reason they are hiding illness is because of a fear that they will not be able to return to flying, even after they are deemed fit / cured by a...

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    If this was the case, I think there would be a danger that the pilot would not seek any medical help at all because of a fear of losing their job. With the present system, a pilot can at least seek medical help from their GP in confidence and speak confidentially to their GP about any medical...

    Just had to have it !

    A good choice. A friend recently purchased a new Kalkhoff. The Impulse system is excellent and feels very natural.

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    Rosters are drawn up so that a pairing of the same captain and first officer occurs as infrequently as possible. When you work with a comparative stranger, you have a tendency to adhere to operating procedures more closely and are less likely to shortcut them.

    Jeremy Clarkson Suspended

    I never watch it, but I think his chat show is on ITV. Not sure if he has a regular slot on the Beeb. Just watching Paxo tearing into Ed Millibamd. I'm actually feeling sorry for poor old Ed.
