I grant you that it is rational and there is a small body of wealthy people living on the eastern seaboard who would concur with you. We call them. West brits. ROI Ireland took leave from the mainland uk in 1922 or if you prefer 1949 and in the preceding century had been bled dry by the British...

What's not to like?? ... Where would you like me to begin..... The island has been united for millennia, or 600 milion years just the people are disunited. And if you wanted to make the separation on geological grounds, you would need to include Louth.. Infrastructure on a par with the UK would...

The 28 nations of the EU are of different sizes and economies, all were at one stage or another basket cases, .. By working together they have upped the standards of living in the poorer areas, without dramatically disimproving them in the richer.. When the UK leaves, there will still be 27...

To both flecc and kudos, .. for 26 of the 27 countries, the loss of the uk trading relationship will be annoying and stunt growth to a small degree. How much will depend on their geographicall proximity. For one country it will serious.. and we would expect assistance from our European...

And our Leo is asking that same question again and again. For those of a strong stomach, the valadictory interview last Sunday on the Andrew Marr show, indicates that we in Ireland are not likely to let the fudge lie. And Tommie, before you go off the deep end... I do not agree with other...

The sooner you get a government in NI or dare i say in the UK the better. The situation is ludicrous, and Tommie, you have my sympathy.....

My key does a 1/3 of a turn ,I can see the cam flattening or being raised proud as it turns.

If you have a cruel streak, as I have, play a video from youtube of kittens mewling with the sound up in the presence of a female cat...

The connector looks very similar to the professional audio connectors and will be available in any Maplins.. The concern would be what is being carried on three of the five connections? Obviously one is ground, and one ..at least .. is power at up to 42 v. The remaining connections can be any...

No problem in having a bike that you could be sure would bring you the last few miles with little effort. But the price is outrageous, it is double what a good ebike costs and four times what an adaquata ebike costs... Will it give four times the fun?

My understanding is that the ECB went beyond its mandate and forced advice which it was not empowered to give. , At a time when the ground rules had not be established. It was a panicked response to an unprecedented situation. The problem being the nature of banking legislation and why a public...

The swearing is probably the most effective strategy. Haibikes use Bosch?. It is the only real gripe I have had has been the efficacy of the retaining lock. Initially, it would not properly lock and the battery moved to a disconnect position . I cured that by clamping a bungee cord around it...

Please can you take your Farage back please, he is making a pest of himself here. Telling lies to our gullible students,. Any polls taken in Ireland have put a 78% pro European majority and he is claiming it's down at 60% , without any evidence.

It's not the battery it's the charger. There is a capacitor built into the output of the charger. When you connect it in, there is 36 v in the battery and 0v on the capacitor so there is a blast of current out of the battery to charge up the capacitor. If the charger is on, it will be at 42 v...

If you are a registered plumber , yeah that's ok, but if you were a registered dentist, you might have some explaining to do....

Remember it was not England, it was the British empire, there were contributions from let's see India, Africa, Australia and NZ , Canada, NI and a significant contribution from a nominally neutral " Eire " And that's before you factor in the "Allies"

My comment was more tongue in cheek, but seriously the cables could easily be cut, and wearing rubber boots or standing on a strip of polystyrene foam wall insulation and a battery power grinder, no problem . What protection is there would be to disconnect power for safety reasons. Regarding...

Aye but does it repel angle grinders?

.. this from the country that did actually put a man on the moon, invented the integrated circuit, built the it industry as it appears today and makes the proper visegrip... I would not knock USA engineering.
