Definitely! My brother's worse though, had a heart valve replaced. .

I agree, that sort of attitude is silly, but it certainly doesn't apply to me. When I first needed help with pulling a trailer I readily adopted an e-bike at 67, and eventually switched to only e-bikes at 70. As for eyesight, I regularly checked my own and when it was becoming evident that...

I didn't mean checking all, just sampling at most and perhaps not even that. Hence my remark of any picked up. We'll need huge increase in the Border Agency anyway if we want to truly control immigration. I don't see the requirement for an address offends UN human rights, if it did our...

Suggestions for adequate solutions to your following issues: A welcoming document issued on entry which for the first year requires the holder to update their address at the time of any move. Then re-registering their details at the end of each year for four more years. All able to be done...

Agreed, but if the aerial input is internally disconnected or the tuner is disabled as I've suggested, than the set is no longer a receiving apparatus under the meaning of the act. Obviously if a recorder or similar with an incorporated tuner is connected, it's internal aerial connection or...

Masochism can be so enjoyable! :D Seriously though, enjoyment can also be had from a sense of achievement. Well into my sixties I had that sense of achievement as a very capable unassisted rider in the hilly North Downs, but I can never have that same sense when riding assisted bikes since...

Welcome RRC, sorry to learn about the anti-eMTB feelings there, should think there's been more than enough past anti-ebike feelings with your State of Illinois totally banning them for years up to 2010. .

A licence is only required for a television receiver, anyone can use a set as a monitor for these other purposes without a licence. With no aerial connected it's legal, but one can disconnect or have disconnected the aerial input or tuner to make that usage beyond dispute. The anti-licence...

Exactly, his design. That doesn't mean he supplied the guns for WW!, they were supplied by Vickers, three times removed from Maxim's ownership. From 1900 on Hiram Maxim was designing fairground rides which don't appear to have killed anyone, and before WW1 had turned to aircraft design until...

But you cannot say he sold the guns or designs to Germany, nor that his guns were used in WW1. He took over Nordenfelt (Swedish), but they were legally prevented from making his gun design for 25 years. Then Maxim-Nordenfelt was taken over by Barrow Shipbuilding, then that company was taken...

Though born in the USA, Hiram was a naturalised Briton and invented the Maxim machine gun in Britain, in Soho, London in fact. The versions used in WW1 were Vickers guns, who took over Maxim in 1896. Hiram had no part in that production or supply of guns for World War 1. .

Issue 1, Spring 1997. Was that a statement of program intentions?! :D Judging from more recent program titles alone, largely unfulfilled it seems. .

I expected to get opposition when I posted in support of the licence, knowing how unpopular it is. I stick to my guns though, we have to pay for what we receive, even the absolute essentials of life like food, so I see nothing wrong in paying for the extras that cost others to produce. There...

I've no idea what that means, I'm a stranger to that channel, the advertised program titles are more than enough to keep me away. .

I didn't infer drinking every day. I referred to the £2.80 a week for the licence being equal to a pint or a part of a packet of cigarettes, which would therefore be once a week. I agree that £2.80 is a lot of money to waste on drinking alcohol or smoking when one is poor, but please don't try...

The really big issue is, having reached 500 pages and 10,000 posts, five times the size of the previous record, will my thread go on to reach 1000 pages and 20,000 posts? :) Keep it going guys! .

There isn't just one victim, all licence payers are victims since the funding for their program is reduced by the army of non-payers. I don't buy the poverty excuse, the £2.80 a week is often equal to or much less than what they spend on beer daily and a fraction of the price of the cigarettes...

Yes, I don't have to imagine the EU's part 30 years ago, I have an excellent memory and can tell you that it didn't play enough of a part. Fortunately for all of us it now plays a very much bigger part, greatly improving the lives of many. And in another 30 years it could well have made our...
