No it was meant. Women have many valuable attributes, but a stubborn refusal to change their mind isn't one of them. Men are much better at expediency (being two faced). .

I think cancelling Article 50 is the best option to escape the current mess, but with a clear promise agreed by all parliamentary parties that we return to the issue in X years time. We owe that to the Leavers. That gives time for all the factors have become more clear, free of campaigning...

After their experience of our two English female prime ministers and Angela Merkel inviting in migrants by the million, perhaps that shows just how sensible the EU is. .

I agree, those two are the only viable ways forward now and I'd like the public to take that decision. The public overruling itself on a second vote would be accepted, especially with a larger margin. Being overruled by government wouldn't be accepted. .

All the indications are that a second in/out referendum would result in Remain by margin of at least 8%. That's over double the margin the other way last time and whatever the government they'd be obliged to honour that more decisive 12% swing vote, an unusually high swing in any election. I...

Or to the Far Far East. .

And it's all my fault for starting this thread. Just as well there is no heaven since I'd never get in after this. :( .

I think it's becoming a qualification for being US president or vice president. Jimmy Carter seemed vague about many things, we had the B movie star Ronald Reagan thinking printing money solved everything, VP Dan Quayle insisting to primary kids that potato was spelt potatoe, the Bush Junior...

That's good advice OG, if it's the betting book variety. Bet365's founder is now getting £265 million a year. .

From Wikipedia: "Graft, as understood in American English, is a form of political corruption, being the unscrupulous use of a politician's authority for personal gain. The term has its origins in the medical procedure whereby tissue is removed from one location and attached to another for which...

Indeed, many used for courier work and deliveries. Having a large e-bike dealer like Nycewheels on the spot makes a big difference of course. They should become more plentiful on some other US roads eventually. Illinois has also given up it's total ban on e-bikes, now allowing the 20 mph ones...

Not that many threads though, some of the posting was following up within a thread. New York's mayor was the subject at times. .

Trek is American and there are some others, but sales are not huge there. I only know of two sizeable e-bike outlets, Nycewheels in New York and ElectricBikesNW in Seattle. The latter also tried a California branch but that seems to have shut. E-bikes there are largely leisure things used...

This is why I'm so opposed to a three way question in a new referendum. Depending on how the question is framed, one faction's vote would be divided, in this case it's the Leave one. Being so blatantly unfair wouldn't solve anything. Only a straight Remain or Leave question can give the...

Although this subject has been discussed a number of times in here, OldGroaner hasn't participated, so this is probably confusion with someone else posting about it. We have other members with double barrelled site names starting with Old. OG has mentioned New York in over 30 prior posts, but...

No, they are the usual Oriental e-bikes, including brands we'd recognise like Ezee and Giant, plus Canadian BionX motors and Trek e-bikes. .

In fact there's always been plenty of e-bikes used in New York, including by our members like RobNYC and they've rarely been troubled by the police. Not only that but one of the USA's largest e-bike dealers, Nycewheels, is in New York City, selling from their retail premises! However, the law...

It hasn't killed me and I've lived here in London most of my life. But of course there's many Londons. The photo below is in the 90 hectare wood that starts 80 metres from my home:

Yes it does! Why would the EU mention an army when obviously an aim to be a united country means having an army by default. It's just of a huge number of things that are obvious that they won't have mentioned. .

It's already on their agenda since the Commission's President Jean-Claude Juncker raised it in March 2015. He proposed it as a way of showing the EU was serious about defending itself against Russia. I haven't seen any other EU country leader speak out against it, other than our own David...
