    Brexit, for once some facts.

    From that position, surely, flows the thought that The Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury and Minister for the Civil Service must be treated with respect and it might have helped if the visitor had done so?

    I find it difficult to laugh within many minutes of thinking about Trump.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Some people see Trump's outrageous inconsistency as a tool he uses to out others off balance and force behaviours that he wishes to elicit. Others point out that it makes it very difficult for accusations to stick because each and every time his actions/statements/tweets are held up to ridicule...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What is odd is that it seems to be going ahead whilst we are planning for NI to be disconnected from Ireland. Isn't it rather unlikely that NI would be disconnected while a connection to Wales carried on? I agree - how it will survive brexit is very uncertain. From where we are, I'd be...

    But you seem to be saying that it is demeaning rather than against the (UK) law?

    So you think that we should indeed be more restricted in our expression than those in the USA?

    Whilst I still know nothing, I have now read this: FURTHER DEVELOPMENT options for Driven can include, a double row ball bearings (further increasing the efficiency levels), a more optimised, possibly asymmetrical tooth design, material testing (advanced lighter and durable materials for the...

    Quite possibly you are right. However, increased efficiency helps enhance range. Also, didn't they claim a significant weight saving as well?

    Trump comes from the home of the first amendment: Full Text of the First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to...

    "At this stage, however, there are no plans to bring the system to the consumer market." You could interpret that statement in many ways.

    Looks like Rohloff start at about £900. Take off the cost of whatever would have been fitted (what? £300 for some Shimano or SRAM) and you are not that far off £500 extra. (Yes, I know, you have to fully list every component to get a proper assessment. I am not a bicycle builder and have just...

    Whilst I could choose to spend 10k+ on a bike, it is more than I would be willing to spend. Might be happy to throw an extra £500 at a bike with that feature. And, if 10k+ were the current cost of CeramicSpeed, it will take a long time to drop to £500 or below. Even if 10k+ were a complete bike...

    Couldn't agree more. Just an outside hope that the price might drop in a few years - but if it starts at 10k+ (as per soundwave), I'll be dead long before I could afford a bike fitted with it.
