The Russians have benefitted from a low cost economy over many decades, and of course a wealth of raw materials. .

Or suicidally in despair over our election options. :( .

Such comparisons can be invalid anyway, due to circumstances. While the Americans are aircraft carrier dependent, the Russians don't have that option due to their icebound sea regions. They therefore place much greater reliance on nuclear submarines which can operate almost indefinitely in any...

No, there are no time limits on one's duration as a de facto UK citizen. Equal rights apply. .

Yes. The US, Russian and UK manpowers are under half the total populations, but the Chinese figure is well over a half. That might appear strange, but the Chinese "one child" per family policy did produce a large male surplus, due mainly to illegal gender selection. .

If asked what the equipment containing the battery is, say it's a power supply. That isn't untruthful and there are numerous battery containing power supplies on the market, phone chargers, car jump starters for examples. .

The curse of electric motor silence. We never had to worry about bicycle squeaks and rattles with two strokes. :)

Instead of O or zero, let's just say it's nought. :) My pet hates? How long have you got? .

Wrong final conclusion, they wanted to remain for the business advantages from which their class profit. It was in the interests of their buddies in the banks and other financial services (80% of our EU business) who provide them with lucrative jobs after politics. Like George Osborne's part...

Or dementia. .

But in 20 years time there'll be the "rosy specs" effect, the natural tendency to view the past in unduly favourable terms. Just like those Brexiters at present who wrongly imagine things were better before we joined the EU. .

But in 20 years time after that long with Brexit, their version is likely to be: "We need the EU for us to have a strong and stable place in the world." ;) .

. Fortunately it's the 18 to 24 year olds who inherit the future. .

Too serious, it was a joke of course, emphasised by the Juncker mention at the end. From time to time threads like this need something to lighten them, but I thought it previously abundantly clear that I am a dedicated supporter of the EU. I agree with your cult analogy, quite fitting at times. .

Yes, the Brexit subject is a religious subject, and it's why Zlatan doesn't understand the EU's relationship with member countries, What he needs to realise is that the EU is a religion, a church, a faith. It invites both believers and sceptics to join and then promises that if one keeps the...

Careful, you'll have Galileo turning in his grave! Acceleration due to gravity is a constant, not weight dependent. .

Of course we would, everyone knows day follows night. .

NASA's experiments on fitness give these cycling figures for fit males from 25 years to 45 years old: 300 watts for about 10 minutes continuous. 200 watts for about 1 hour continuous. 100 watts for about 5 hours continuous. Your 500 watts is substantial overestimate. An example from the...

The Corbyn policies I quoted were exactly the same socialist policies. For all you know Attlee may well have been as anti-nuclear as Corbyn and was very likely to have been, but being at the end of a war he didn't have to face that issue I agree David Miliband is their best hope. .

It's not type approval, that's for manufacturers. You need individual vehicle approval (IVA). It's likely that you can apply under the motorcycle IVA with it classified as a Quadricycle, Light or Heavy. The vehicle inspectorate can advise on that since there are special rules for assistive...
