Years ago I established a formula for fixing second hand e-bike prices which many have followed. Given the current new price for your 17Ah model is £1239, the following range would be fair asking prices for your bike, using more up to date information on battery lives: Low asking price = £830...

The accepted international ruse for troops on the spot in other's conflicts is that they are military advisers. .

You mean a British Special Operation in Ukraine, against a Russian Special Operation there? ;) .

While I agree, I think he has enough like minded friends to make him feel self righteous enough to blame the outcome on the West ganging up. Xi Jinping in China, Kim Jong-un in North Korea, Narendra Modi in India, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, Viktor Mihály Orbán in Hungary, plus a few in...

That's the point, there is nothing definitive, everything is questionable, so being at a time of war when propaganda is rife, it's best to totally disregard it all as worthless. .

Fires do happen in such installations, it doesn't have to be from any attack. If there was anything to it the story wouldn't have died as it has. While this war is active we'll continue to be in an age of propaganda with every opportunity to spin a story seized upon. .

I never gave that story credence. .

Indeed, I'd already seen the irony of that possibility. I can see the end of surface fighting ships, outside of aircraft carriers and their protective vessels. However, Sevastopol is a deep water port, rare in the Black Sea, so if they hang onto a land corridor from Crimea into Russia it will...

Yes and no. Russia certainly can't defeat Ukraine now, given all the help the West is giving. It's a proxy war now, Russia versus the West But dictators actually tend to last for a very long time,far, far longer than democratically elected leaders, and the disadvantage for us will show in...

With all the advanced weaponry and western backing they are receiving, I don't think there's any possibility of Ukraine losing the war now. I see only two possible ends. One of Russia succeeding in getting and holding the southern wedge of Ukraine that gives them permanent land access to...

I bet the atmosphere in the Kremlin was a bit stormy, followed by a deep depression. A zone of high pressure with a very warm front indeed will probably appear over Ukraine over the next few days. .

Maybe, but as I mentioned before, the problem for any defensive system is detection of sea skimming missiles like the exocet. With the radar angled low enough it picks up all the sea surface clutter, masking any missile in the same zone. And that is without considering supersonic missile...

I mentioned this before, improving the missile capability of the southern fleet. That included trying to make this battleship more useful with missile launching capability, but as what has happened shows, a forlorn hope. The much smaller, faster cruise missile launching ships they've added to...

Battleships are yesterday's weapons, there's no place for them in modern navies and they can't defend themselves well enough. The Moscow has gone the way of the Belgrano in the Falklands and those still around are mostly parked, never to fight again, like HMS Belfast in the Thames. The age of...

Handy idea to remember next time the garden needs digging. :) .

There's an impending world food shortage which will probably affect Africa most. Hopefully they don't see long pig as the solution. ;) .

Here's the link to Oyster's first post about it. There is a discussion about it following on the next pages. .

Priti Patel, born to Ugandan Indians, will know all about African's treatment of minorities from her parents. .

Why do you think this cynical lot chose Rwanda? Because it could be self solving problem since it's where they really know how to do genocide. A reminder from history, showing how they deal with minorities there: "The Rwandan genocide, also known as the genocide against the Tutsi, occurred...
