Yes, three pretenders. Jean-Christophe, "Prince Napoleon" Henri d'Orléans, Count of Paris Louis Alphonse, Duke of Anjou .

They've run out of Emperors though, since Bonaparte. Unless we count Jean-Claude Juncker. ;) .

Have a word with Frank at Xipi. They only do high powered e-bike conversions. Oxford is quite a bit closer and perhaps they would ship to you. Frank is a forum member, hasn't been here for quite a while, but knows his stuff on high powered e-bikes. In particular have a look at their...

Gtech are making that sort of level of gross margin on their bulk bought Chinese sourced bike. And they are online trading with large volumes and no shop costs. .

Good idea, I'd rather carry a pair of extra pannier bags that way than either side of the front wheel as some tourers do, nicer handling. Not sure about the spare front wheel idea though, nowhere to put the two extra panniers in that case, and what would one do with the failed front wheel it...

I think we can in this case. Since the early 19th century the Church of England has been known as "TheTory Party at Prayer". With Theresa May the Tory prime minister and Tony Blair a pseudo Tory, both C of E, the cap fits. .

Not too much traffic in those days! .

Like Tony Blair. Need I say more? .

This thread having covered just about everything else, I suppose it was only a matter of time before sexual innuendo would intrude. .

All countries both lend to each other and borrow from each other, and their citizens also buy other governments stocks and bonds. For example Germany which has a large balance of payments surplus also has a national debt. This mechanism is necessary to establish through currency trading the...

As you say, public knowledge if openly posted on facebook. From the content and that setting it seems the contributors wanted the information widely known. .

I'm not confident of this, I see two elements present. There's the EU with a deeply ingrained desire for peace, this being the very basis of the organisation's foundation. And there's NATO, which with it's aggressive US dominance is very much the opposite, following policies looking for...

My code for life Tom, even when I'm driving or riding. I remember Bertrand Russell in the 1960s near the end of his life when I worked as a service engineer in his London West End office at times. Retirement wasn't for him, he worked to the end. .

That's the trouble with this forum's links, they are near to invisible and why I make my links in bold text. .

You must have "trusted member" status! ;) .

Indeed, that is what the ordinary people want, but their leaders are a different matter. They are the ones who make the big mistakes, create the disputes and wars, then let the mass of the people suffer all the consequences. .

I have to contradict you Tillson. We seen and heard a convoy of resident immigrants expressing genuine concern about their residency and travel status in a variety of TV news programs across the channels. And only a few posts ago I drew attention to the way nursing job applications from the EU...

I also use Firefox. I haven't noticed this hotlinking appearing in my own posts, but that's probably due to the way I hotlink in here. Because the forum's hotlinks are not very distinct, I always convert the hotlinked text to bold in my own posts, which makes the link show up much better, like...

Very odd, in over 34,000 posts and all ten years plus of this forum I've never experienced anything like this. During that time I've many times expressed correctly X000W, X000 Watts or more lazily and wrongly X000w and X000 watts with no sign of hot linking appearing. .

When the two sides are folded in book fashion, A and B will be adjacent. So yes, a simple link will suffice, making it just long enough to open and close the two sides for service access. .
