In summary it's the usual British disease of never doing anything properly. We make token attempts at providing cycle paths but too often build them badly, starting nowhere and soon after a very short stretch finishing nowhere. Or we just give up and paint silly white lines at the side of...

Your post contains a self fulfilling prophesy, the research you advocate makes certain electricity will drastically rise in price, fusion or no fusion. I give you the drug companies as an example. They too sink vast sums into research that has very real risks of not producing anything...

You're right it is the lycras/roadies on their sport bikes, but there are very good reasons for it. Their thin skinny tyres are only suited to tarmac in reasonably good condition and the whole purpose of the cycling they are doing is to keep going Cyclepaths are very ill maintained and often...

In two centuries time the effects of climate change will have evolved to a frightening degree if we haven't very drastically changed the way we live. Perhaps the people living then will accept their very different life, but I very much doubt we would accept it. Fission of itself will not solve...

I have no problem with that either. But having been the first victim of a vicious and completely unwarranted abusive posted attack from him when he first entered the forum I also know of a very different side to him. Two other respected and valuable members, eddieo and EddiePJ eventually...

True of fission too, for too long we ignored what they were doing, until we suddenly needed them to build reactors for us. If anyone achieves practical fusion it will be them, but I have little faith in it being achieved ever. .

I dont know whether you'll see this reply since you originally put me on Ignore, but the video conclusions are right. As I originally posted to you that seemed to annoy you, they are "There is no one correct diet for everyone" and "Eat a balanced diet". .

I often think that the effects on people of driving and online posting have much in common. Many of us know how otherwise the nicest of people can become aggressive maniacs the moment they get behind a steering wheel. Similarly posting in online forums can have an adverse effect on the most...

As Soundwave says, they will pick it up and return it for you Brendan: https://ebikebatteries.co.uk/ .

I go even further, I believe 30 years is totally unrealistic, even to achieve it experimentally in usable quantities and it may well be that we will never achieve useful fusion. Many billions have already been poured into that research so I'm not in favour of spending even more on a likely...

I'd rather he stayed in here, but he was very abrasive and often unjustifiably contemptuous of others. I too like straight talking but not when it descends into sheer bad manners. He'd stopped helping on the e-bike side long ago which was his true pedelecs departure. Long after he started...

Welcome back Del Arthur and best wishes for the desired fitness. .

He's left the forum after a row with another member, this time it seems to be final. I say that since he was originally a member under the name d8veh and has left before, see below: As d8veh ----------------------------------------------------- Joined October 2010 *Left May 2011 after 6 months...

Superficially it looks as though there's nothing wrong with that on equality grounds but there are other issues, such as there can only be one person in charge. Much more sensible would be that the leader, even if there's only one, be called King, regardless of whether male or female. Thus...

Batteries are chemical devices so not entirely predictable. You were lucky, the majority in similar situations are not, and the people you insult know that from long experience. So they warn of the worst possibilities because that is being responsible. Would you prefer they tell everyone...

Pathetic indeed, but I suppose to be expected with another Blairite pseudo Tory PM. One would never see Jeremy Corbyn taking part in such an event, or even allowing it. .

What makes you think we want a police force? We used to have one long ago and what a pain it was. Between operating protection rackets, requiring sexual services in lieu of prosecuting, recycling seized illicit drugs and further expanding their earnings through their ever helpful friendships...

Actually announcing it to kid them we are sending enough troops is the only option when our army is now so small there's very few we can send ! .

This was always inevitable if we wished to continue EU trading, a point I was making when I started this thread with the opening post about the Swiss experience. Where the EU are concerned there are only four options: 1) Completely in as a member. 2) EEC membership with acceptance of all the...

In fairness the cars are down due to lack of production, in turn from the severe chip shortgages. Car production is at record lows now. Waiting lists are long and second hand car prices have risen by as much as 30% due to the severe shortage of new cars. .
