    Ryanair,incompetent or inconsiderate?

    I reckon that if duty and taxes were leavied on ifuel used in internal European flights, as is I believe the case on road, rail and sea traffic, then the low cost carriers, including Ryanair would take a huge hit . It is no secret that Ryanair would have sought and got hello money from the...

    Ryanair,incompetent or inconsiderate?

    Look at Dublin London for tomorrow 115 and for two weeks away 15 , not quite 12 but close. I said short notice ... . Ryanair reckons that any one needing to fly at short notice will pay way over the odds. I now ask of you a simple question are you always so obnoxious!. It might be possible to...

    Ryanair,incompetent or inconsiderate?

    I'd prefer that you didn't book attendance at my funeral yet. And yes people do book and fly at very short notice and they are not only businesspeople.. My daughter was in Barcelona for a week's holiday intending to come home next Saturday, but for obvious reasons took a flight this morning. ...

    EBike Chains

    Of course this only applies to crank drive ebikes , as those hub ones don't use the chain for motor drive. On a crank drive, the human could be exerting 100w continuously and the motor an other 300w continuously so the load would be 400w. There would not be many cyclists who could sustain that...

    "The Spanish Government have converted protesters into terrorists. We will all be appalled when some atrocity takes place and the Catalans claim responsibility...in their retaliation at the hands of GC..

    Yeah that was what I was hoping it was... We now has luas and it is finally integrated so that it links both North and south of the city and the same smart card works on all three , the dart (trains ), the luas (trams) and buses

    Fascism returns to Spain

    Spain is not a country I have much familiarity with, I have a better feel for France. . As in my slightly earlier response , I don't think bringing riot police was a very subtle move. I did hear a story some years ago which might explain the poverty. Its veracity I cannot confirm. In this...

    Fascism returns to Spain

    The process of change by referendum of a constitution is the correct way and is actually black and white. It is one of the few things which is. I am not excusing or condoning the authorities in Madrid,. Sending in riot police is not the way to win hearts and minds. ... But I can list any...

    Fascism returns to Spain

    I am not suggesting , I am asserting that because the Spanish constitution , to which the Catalans were apparently highly delighted to accept in 1978, stated that Spain was indivisible, that other regions have a vested interest and yes would have a right to vote. However any such vote would...

    Fascism returns to Spain

    Tom you need to go back to 1910 in order to see why the highly unpopular Easter Rising took place and why it in turn led to the highly popular war of independence in 1919. I have always viewed the Easter Rising as a fiasco, irrespective of the mythmaking subsequently. The war of independence...

    Would that be the 500w nominal version of q128c and comparing it with the 250 w nominal version and perhaps with an augmented 20amp controller and perhaps the 48v supply ? . If so no contest.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    1993 was 25 years ago a full generation ago, there has been huge changes in customer habits since then. Much more packaged foods and more short lived consumer goods. It would not be wise to extrapolate from those times to now.
