I got an Abus Bordo Centium Chain Lock - for less than £70 (It was £45 now I have checked). It is quite good for my purposes as, most of the time I don't need it! But it is neatly secured ready for when I do. Just realised, mine is the limited edition in wooden box!

Judging by last night's excessive TV news coverage and the few headlines I saw today, looks like it is Ant McPartlin fulfilling that role. :)

Seems modelled on a well-known tongue twisting song. I'm not a fish-thrower, I'm a fish-thrower's son I'm only throwing fish 'till the fish-thrower comes.

You could infer that it is OK if those with very poor or no eyesight are knocked over or killed? I think driverless vehicles have to be positively better than human-driven in order to be acceptable. Hence, it should be those human-driven ones that should be labelled - were that a sensible...

Please let there be a UK law or regulation prohibiting littering the Thames with dead fish. Hopefully one that would make JRM a criminal and ineligible to stand for parliament.

I suspect you are wrong. The raison is surely to make money? My own view is that even some relatively simple systems could make quite a difference to safety without going all the way to driverless. For example, the various assist systems, enhanced parking sensor systems (mine certainly detects...

I don't know any better how much than other replies, but apparently most of it comes ashore just down the road. https://www.dragonlng.co.uk/

OK - so we were so lax about establishing cause of death that they were buried without adequate checking for the various toxic substances that could have been used? (Is this the result of the privatisation of pathology services?) Were pathologists and undertakers potentially exposed to nerve...

At least 20% vat plus customs clearance fee (to the company that performs that function). Potentially plus duty - dependent on how it is classified - contact HMRC.

I didn't watch, but... Mr Johnson told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "We actually have evidence within the last 10 years that Russia has not only been investigating the delivery of nerve agents for the purposes of assassination, but has also been creating and stockpiling Novichok."...

Trying to catch up with the Eskimos? Or just the Siberian Yupik - to get a Russian element back. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/there-really-are-50-eskimo-words-for-snow/2013/01/14/e0e3f4e0-59a0-11e2-beee-6e38f5215402_story.html?utm_term=.d98750f129b4

Hence my "I prefer ..." - largely on account of my experience of thyroid issues.

He doesn't have the "excuse" of having had thyroid issues as a child. (I prefer not to use that highly specific term as a general insult/disparagement.)

Some time ago I visited Blankenberge in Belgium - where they have lots of weird and wonderful cycle-based vehicles, tricycles, quads, hexes, and this monster... Couldn't help thinking that adding some electric traction would be great fun! So long as you were not restricted to 250W - perhaps...

Luckily, my experience has almost always been me riding on the road, with lights on, or driving my car - with DRL, and seeing (just about) an unlit bicycle on the pavement (not shared use). Sometimes it has been so dark I simply would not have ridden without lights because I might not have seen...

Otherwise the world nude bicycle rides would become illegal. :)

I used to drive on a road which went under a dual carriageway. In the summer, with bright sunlight outside, it was like driving into complete blackness. Had there been a bicycle already in the underpass, a car driver could very easily have found it difficult to see it. That was an extreme. (I...

Would be good if it were not an exclusive Rohloff/Bosch arrangement. We probably don't want total market dominance by any company.

There are far too many reasons for lights to be on when not really needed, or off when they should be on, for that to be a reliable guide. My view is that I might as well always switch front and rear lights on, then they'll always be on if needed! It is so easy to fail to correctly anticipate...
