    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you could hypothetically reverse the situation and let's pretend that Iranian or Russian operatives assassinate an ex US president or a high ranking retired general because his hand had blood of their countrymen. Should the UN ignore such an act? We have international law to limit 'an eye for an...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    he is a professional soldier. I don't think punishment is the right word, assassination is. Trump saw an opportunity and took it and as one would expect from him, without thinking about consequences or others. I am not saying that the USA should not use its military might to defend its interests...

    the Faro comes with 28mm Maxxis Detonator 700C road tyres. We can fit the tyres you need. If you are a very good DIYer, you can fit the external battery kit yourself.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you need to take into account where the attack took place: a civilian airport in a sovereign, neutral country in this context. I wouldn't be surprised that the attack be declared an assassination under international law.

    please take a look at the Woosh Faro. It's the e-bike that comes nearest to a normal hybrid, except it will flatten the hills for you and is well within your budget. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?faro

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    which one is your favourite candidate to take over from JC? I watched them doing their Sunday TV interviews. For my life, I could not see how Lisa Nandy would face Bojo at PMQs.

    BJ is good at delegating responsibility but some times, choices have to be made and can't be delegated.

    causing one. Trump is an inept leader. We should call an emergency meeting at the UN security council to discuss how to reduce the tension.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I guess it's difficult for a millenial to understand what the enthusiasm was like among those few of us with an Antex soldering iron, a pile of Practical Wireless magazines and a PCB making kit! Masters of the universe we were!

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't know, but assume that depends on specific circumstances. I was at a customer's office when I heard it on the radio in their staff kitchen. My first reaction was total incomprehension. Getting back to whether people learn from their failed business, my personal view is probably not. I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there are usually plenty of warning sights before a business fails, so if one acts early enough, it's often very possible to turn around or change direction. I started making hifi stuffs (amps and speakers) in the 60s, when that became a big boys' game, I moved to PCs in the 80s, then added...

    Hidden wire brake sensor - too tight?

    you may have accidentally introduced a kink on the innercable. A new set of inner and outer cable will fix that. it's normal that the innercable feels stuck when you try to feed it through. The gap for the cable is magnetically closed. Think of how you separate two magnets. Push it quite...

    What's happening at 50 Cycles?

    SW is friendly with the police, so I think he posted tongue in cheek.
