I used a real word in the English language: verisimilitudinousness .

Family trait? I could fairly have applied that description to both Prince Charles and Prince Harry at times. Prince Philip was also a dab hand at behaving very inappropriately at times. Perhaps he's the one to blame really. When he got his todger out the Queen should have remembered the old...

Agreed, it's very unfair to keep picking on him for some misbehaviour which isn't really his fault. I blame the parents, gallivanting around when they should have been at home bringing up their children responsibly to be good citizens. .

Of course. His quarter million a year stipend is from his mum who gets the dosh from the Duchy of Lancaster, and he lives in a free royal home with Ferguson so won't want to lose those for life. He's not short of capital anyway, he got 15 million from the sale of a previous home and his luxury...

He's come out of this extremely well and is far better off than before it occurred. All he's actually done is both deny strongly an accusation, but having been made aware of the woman's charity helping those who actually are victims of the alleged act, he's made a generous donation to the...

Yes I misunderstood. You definitely do not need to stop if you are already on the main road. If that were the rule the whole country could be paralysed during the rush hour! .

Even under the existing law , a vehicle user when leaving a side road has to give way to any pedestrian who has started to cross the main road. Given that, and the consensus to date on the new highway code, when leaving a side road one should give way to pedestrians wanting to cross the main...

I was learning that in hard ways by five years old. Already a loner, those early experiences set the future pattern of my life. But I'm far from being unhappy about that, I see it as a gain I wouldn't be without. Built in armour. .

I suppose handy for puncture repairs. But a bit like the bays at intervals provided on "Smart" motorways where traffic drives on the hard shoulder, only if you break down in the right spot. Only good for lucky unlucky events. :( .

Well it could be said that I made my own luck by choosing to be single and having lone pursuits. However I am lucky in one sense, I have no idea what being lonely is, I've never experienced such a thing. I've seen others including my brother at one time suffering loneliness and the awful...

A bit academic for me, since I live alone and my interests are predominantly lone pursuits. Social distancing is my norm. .

I bet they got a government grant for creating that provision. It's not only comic in itself, the fact that the white line alongside is broken means it has no legal force for cycling use so a car driver can park there. .

It's called learning to live with it. Translated that means accepting the deaths from it. .

I've no idea what they've achieved, if anything. I do remember a few years ago one of their leading scientists walking out of their cancer research, creating a stir by saying it was a waste of time and would never succeed. .

For others here's a link showing the e-trike in question with enlargeable views from front and rear: Di Blasi e-trike From what I can see the motor looks a bit like those that CycloneTW used to supply in add-on crank motor kits, but they don't appear to be selling them any more. Maybe...

It's a two way thing. Nealh made mention of London getting proper cycle lanes and we do have one good route. Running from West London outskirts all the way to the West End and City, it's segregated all the way except for a short bit by Buckingham Palace. And it's packed with all the thousands...

Indeed. Let states do that long term and very chancy investing. There's a large range of far more sensible ways for the private sector to invest in energy. .

Not so. As I quoted I was replying to a post proposing that two big fuel companies, Shell and BP provide the investment to carry out additional research to speed up the process. My argument was entirely valid within that context since it is their investors and shareholders who would need...

I instinctively feel that maintaining fusion will need substantial size. Whether that is so or not, it still means centrally generated distributed electricity rather than the trend to more local generation and the security that provides. I'd rather all the money goes into solar PV panels and...

Yes it was worth raising and there's nothing wrong with being a minority since they are often right. It seems the difference is that you do have some decent cyclepaths, something that most of us are sorely lacking. I have one superb one with a very wide and clearly marked pedestrian lane and...
