:) You are winding us up again. We already see and are seeing what they do when the population get too truculent. They set up special courts and use the police surveillance powers to identify and lock up people who go too far. I've no problem with them locking up rioters and people who burn...

I think he was maybe a bit preoccupied with handling Marcia....

The idea that governments or a cabal of governments and billionaires would be able to keep secret a dastardly plot is one for the birds in my view. If there ever was such a conspiracy, if they had even talked about it, it would have escaped immediately - especially if any of it happened here in...

Thankyou.

I don't know the answer to that, nor did I know the information you just presented. As a layman - I would say we depend on building regulations and product certification. Architects and builders must follow those, and after and during erection, building inspectors come to see how the job is...

For fks sake! Maggie Maggie Maggie! Are you for real? Since she left office in 1990, we had the Major government, then thirteen years of Labour with Blair and Brown and then a coalition Con / Lib government and then, Cameron. The idea that this disaster would not have happened had not...

Thanks. A pretty flawed idea then....

I did a bit of googling and numbers of cycling sites mention contamination of disks by dirty hands or oil spray as an issue, so I might try some naptha on a clean cloth to try and remove residue. I've never put oil anywhere near them, but who knows what went on at the Indian factory? That is a...

One feature on the little Argos folder that is annoying me is the awful squawking and screaching that comes from the brakes whenever it is wet. It happens all the time , but gets really loud when there is any rain or even mist. I might upgrade, but will it be the pads, the disk, or just the...

Surging Belief in Alien Visitors Is Becoming a Serious Problem For Our Society https://www.sciencealert.com/surging-belief-in-alien-visitors-is-becoming-a-serious-problem-for-our-society Is this just a feature of the Bell Curve and the fact that about twenty percent of people are very dim...

Well I never - thought of this before. Americas Cup Yachts have specialist cyclists generating hydraulic power to trim the sails. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c4ngydm1x55o

I suppose it maybe depends on whether we are content to just put up our hands and surrender all manufacturing to China, including strategic capability. China could become less friendly at any time. Are we really going to do that? We are already well on the way to being a vassal state, and we...

I think RR already supply small nuclear reactors to the RN for our submarines and perhaps also some of the large RN ships. They have a lot of nuclear engineers. Also - they are one of the bidders for the government's plan to produce small reactors...

Maybe instead of pointing the finger at someone who left office in 1990, it might be more pertinent to look at who was in power after her leaving and more pertinently still, at the arms length body, the Building Research Establishment who are responsible for testing and certifying building...

Rolls Royce have built some of the best and most efficient high bypass turbofan engines in the world with an installed product base of more than 4,860 engines powering 4 out of 5 of the new generation widebody aircraft.flying around the planet. RR made a pre-tax profit of about £1.4Bn in 2023...

That's a pretty smart looking helmet. I might have had one if they were in black. Oh - they are not in stock around here anyway.

Coolest summer in UK since 2015 - especially in the north -. Funny how whenever we had a really hot day in other summers, or a warm spell, the media were shouting about how the planet was burning up, but they are not talking much about this situation. I am not denying that there is a general...

No expert - but have you checked the voltages of the individual banks of cells? It might just be that one or more of the parallel groups of cells are at a low voltage and the BMS is refusing to charge them. If they are not too far down, you could raise their voltage by charging individual banks...

I can remember driving in France in teh late 1970s and there were billboards all over the place with a fat little red faced man with either a wine glass or a bottle of vin rouge in his hands and a slogan under neath saying "Not more than two litres". That wasn't a week. That was a day! I'd...

Insurance is such a variable cost, depending on how old you are, where you live and your driving record. I paid £108 for that old Honda. I think the tax wzs about £47, and the mot about £30. I suppose it does add up unless you get reasonable use out of it.
