Woss was on the wadio this afternoon standing in for Steve Wight. Brand keeps popping up on Question Time. I thought they'd both been sacked by the BBC.

I have to disagree trex, it is the public who have made Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond popular. The BBC have provided the platform, but ultimately the way these three behave and their opinions are popular with the public. That is an indisputable fact when you compare their TV...

Let us hope that they don't turn this into a catastrophe by employing a ginger to replace him. Some sources are saying that this is a possibility. The BBC should scrap Top Gear now.

There is nothing racist about Jeremy Clarkson. You are cheapening the term racist when you start slinging it around every time something doesn't suit your agenda. Also, no one said that money brings fulfilment and happiness. I mentioned Jeremy's wealth because he has earned it as a result of...

Clarkson isn't living in rented accommodation and he's got at least £30 million in the bank. Someone clearly likes his act more than they like yours.

This is going off topic a bit, but I saw a man on TV the other day moaning about immigrants. The comments within this thread regarding hard work, laziness, welfare state and working conditions in other countries reminded me of this video clip.

Just show them a bar of soap, they'll run a mile.

I don't believe that the thread has become derailed by me. My original post, (No.61) was all about Jeremy Clarkson and his act. jonathan75 asked me to clarify a couple of points that I had made, (hand-wringing apologist and liberalism) in (No. 64), which I did. selrahc1992 then de-railed the...

I'm sorry, but where do concentration camps and apartheid come into all of this? This is typical of what I was saying in the post above. Some people try to, guilt-trip others into accepting their viewpoint by extrapolating the circumstances to a ridiculous conclusion, usually one of racism...

Hand-wringing: Usually associated with some form of expression of guilt. An example, in the case of my original post, would be a person referring to a group of people as being, "underprivileged." This is usually done in the context that ordinary hard working people are in some way to blame for...

You must understand that what you see on the TV is not the real Jeremy Clarkson. It's the TV character which he has chosen to act out, a sort of pantomime villain. He's very skilled at it too because most people posting on this thread have bought into the fictitious character. I think that...

I have considered an Aldi ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning bike chains. Are they any good?

After trying several cleaners and solvents, I now use Muc-Off diliuted in water and an old paint brush to work the solution it into the links. I then just let it dry naturally.

Not really the words or the attitude of a conscientious man who respects the law and the people around him. Your last statement regarding KTM should be enough to tell people all that they need to know about your knowledge of electric bikes.

Hi Mike, I've always used this chain and never had any trouble. This assumes that you have an Alfine 8 speed hub or other type of hub gear. http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/kmc-z510-hx-1-8-inch-chain-112-links-silver-prod15273/ You will need two chains, though. One to be sacrificed to lengthen the...

I think the statement means power must be cut when pedalling stops AND also progressively reduce as speed approaches 25 Kmh. I think that the loss of a throttle option is a shame because I can see how this could benefit some individuals. The evidence suggests that the throttle isn't a great...

I think that you could very well be right. You mentioning Samsung cells has reminded me that one of the reviewers on Endless Sphere mentioned that his battery was packed with Samsung cells, but the advert now says Sony. So far I have been very impressed. The build quality and performance is...

No, I probably didn't make it clear. The ones D8veh linked to are an unknown quantity. They may be perfectly ok or they may be rubbish. The shipping cost on those batteries results in the total price being close to that of batteries with a certain amount of pedigree. The battery that I linked...

Yes, I like it.

I'm not sure what you have been looking at John, but they carry a 24 month / 1000 charge cycle warranty. The cells used are supposedly Sony...
