Thanks very much, but if I need my character assinated, i have family for that!,

Not to mention the lovely harp playing of Derek Bell of the Cheftains.....

I am not .. a fool maybe , but dangerous no.. not since thy insist I use those rubber razor blades and knives and forks...

With the usual disclaimers that none of us are entitled to give legal advice, if a test house in Europe has signed off on the product as being in conformance then it is legal everywhere in the EU, except NI and Malta? As a subtle attempt to link with another thread, this is the advantage of a...

I really don't know where is is coming from or going to, but if the statement is that a uk tumbling out without a viable trade deal will want vengence on ireland for standing up for themselves and would block passage through england, well there are two sides there. It would be totally illegal...

.. hey thats exciting.. who would steal a renault?

The saddle is only part of it, what is the angle of your back,. But your primary question, does stance matter? Yes. The old style sit up and beg , is probably the most comfortable, but has the worst air resistance, the more horizontal puts more stress on the arms. Mind you those recumbent bikes...

.. aha the old ways!

There is one of those stories told about the irish NI customs post where every day a guy on a bike would show up with a suitcase tied to the carrier with a piece of string. Every day the customs man would have him untie the string and open the suitcase.. and it would be empty each time...

The shortest time route to the continent is by ferry from rosslare to Cherbourg. Travel through the uk is marginally cheaper but always took longer. The pembroke to channel ports takes how long? The angesea to channel ports a bit longer. If the UK were to play silly about air routes, then...

Bertie is the kind of bloke who can finesse a lot, .. nothing is too much trouble, every trouble can be talked around. This type of creative ambiguity was exactly what was needed at a stage in the North Ireland peace talks, but exactly not the type of ambiguity needed when dealing with financial...

Well those batteries are using the 13s configuration..

d8veh, as McEnroe would say, you can't be serious. Getting battery packs of 12s would be as simple as sending a fax order and a cheque bankers draft. This is variance in a manufacturing sense. .. change a single resistor in the charger, disregard the top tier on the bms panel and fabricate...

If its a no brainer then why are you asking for a brains trust? . Emotion as a brand would be respected. The bigger battery is a bonus.. but unless you are going to be depleting the battery each go, its just an insurance policy. Do you see yourself going on 60 mile trips ?. Against that the...

A colleague of mine brought me back a mains powered dremel from the states some 45 years ago. I have replaced the brushes once and it still works. I was so impressed that I bought a few with stands for use with practical classes drilling PCBs in electronic workshop practice.. eventually we...

This article taken from the irish times of today may help provide background. For those in the UK, who have not seen the film of the same name Michael Collins was a leading member of the first Irish parliament in 1922 and was the leader of the delegation which negotiated the irish treaty of...

You might call it character assassination, but he used a novel approach... Identifying facts and writing them down. If a person writes an article and quotes objective facts in furtherance of their position, it helps if they are true. Now the SF arguement, he is factually correct. Whether he...

.. the battery ones might serve if you are planning a life of crime cutting through locks! They are pretty much precision tools so suitable for fine work . Their typical power is 100w so how long will those li ion types last? 10 minutes under load?

Not according to some graphs I have seen. It will no doubt be chemistry dependent and the different additives may affect it slightly but these would show that in the 4.2 to 4.0 zone only 10% to 15% of the energy is stored. Surely the 12s combo would be used instead? .. giving a theoretical...
