I am wondering about your technical background now. Every responsible technical industry tries to have their representatives on the national and international standards bodies. They are then in a position to know what is happening along the tracks into the future and may even be in a position to...

.. no the culprits have not been unmasked. You are aware of the distinction, in that the irish ones or uillean pipes are fed by flexing the shoulder rather than blowing air into a bag. My impression is that the Scottish pipes are louder, and the uillean pipes are more expressive.

.. read what Michael o Leary has said on the subject. He has basically made three statements, amplifying the same theme. .. before Brexit .. you would be mad to do it and we might withdraw flights. After brexit .. we want ECJ to adjudicate on disputes, otherwise will withdraw planes. Recently...

Ted both you and Tommie and all the others so affected have my genuine sympathy, it's a ludicrous situation. If Mr brokanshire, started using executive power to implement a wide range of actions and reforms maybe that might goad the two parties into action... Say implement gay marriage, removal...

.. unfortunately you have entirely missed the point. The law enabling pedelecs needs to be passed by the NI parliment. They have had no parliment for is it 8 months now. The major two parties SF and DUP cannot agree the terms of engagement, following a rift about a financial scandal, in which...

.. if you read my last posting, you will see that I am enthusiastic about mounting PV panels on a roof, having them connected via a proper inverter control system and being linked directly to your electric main supply. My son is moving to a new property and it will have 5 such panels mounted...

And lose Ryanair?? . We may be thick but we are not stupid. Are you aware of the strength of our airline leasing industry and how it benefits by being linked to a supranational legal system? . Having said that , there is a consistent background noise from a category of persons living along a...

That will be true, when the UK neither imports or exports any goods through Europe, when it no longer uses other European airlines ,. And when it repatriates all of its own subjects . Is a new Albania or North Korea your desired outcome? Under those circumstances it will finally be free of...

If there is to be a Brexit, the softest possible one is the most preferable. But is that likely?

That topic has been long explored in this forum. Basically it is not a silly restriction. It is a restriction. If there was no restriction on power output from the motor, would you not think that there would be plenty of people, including members of this forum who would be gadding about at...

Who knew? I didn't think that Brexit was intended as humorous, silly me

Only if you become or are Catholic or very high Church the others don't bother with relics, places of pilgrimage, ...

.. is that not a short list of bullies?, Since you have excluded 90% of the world? Now I am not in commerce, but when you lose 30% of your currency value, and you are an importing as well as exporting country, you could well lose double digit trading values.

Thank you for bringing the response of that swimmer to our attention. It was a noble gesture on his behalf. I must however have some sympathy for the organisers. It is the same rationale which has all the international sporting bodies banning any badges and emblems from players jerseys. Where...

Respectfully I disagree. In my reading of the text you supplied, The fixie does serve as a brake. However because the bike has no front brake, it is still illegal. Had the fixie been attached to the front wheel, without a chain, it would have been legal. In the way that children's trikes used to...

.. Are you actually saying that it was British state policy to send nincompoops to Brussels? Because that is what that sounds like. Such a policy would in my opinion, as an outsider be treasonous.! And yes I am not a UK subject and do not and have never worked in the UK. I have visited, and...

The old saying a "bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.". The truest word you have spoken is that we don't even know the deal yet. The problem is that while the EU has been up front and published position papers all that has emerged from the UK side is pious aspirations. The document...

Just prior to the Brexit referendum, the pound would buy you 1.30 euro. Today it will buy you 1.09 euro, so it has lost in value about .21 of a euro. Major currency exchanges are suggesting that Soon it will buy just 1.00 euro. That is not .. repeat not a drop of 10% . Any of your friends who...

.. credit where credit is due... The employment numbers are boyant.. but the manpower statistics have not yet noted the cost of living increases which the drop in sterling has and will impact. The UK is enjoying the surge in exports due to stock purchased at a better exchange rate, and now being...

.. they do it's called a crank drive.... Seriously that is what a gearbox does, it insures that the motor can be going at its most economic, efficient pace and can adjust the road speed to the appropriate speed. I don't think that ebikes with central drives need to have a huge number of gears...
