Ministers plan to introduce ban on outdoor smoking. Is there any limit to the desire of politicians to turn everyone into a zombie slave who behaves exactly as they would like? Let me be clear - i HATE smoking. I think it is a horrible habit that killed a lot of my older relatives, and...

Old man Biden was probably already senile and unfit for office at this time. He can't be blamed. He should have been in a care home already. Still - at least he wasn't Donald Trump who was about then boasting about how he liked to grab women's private parts - and all of that is on tape - and you...

Because it isn't. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/sep/21/1 https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/pcsos-just-stood-by-1004917 There is something missing in your brain. In one piece I read about this, even a senior policeman said the PCSOs were not trained...

Never mind - in the winter you can wrap it round you to help keep you warm. If it is a really bad case, you could hold out the extra and use it as a wing suit like this fellow called Jeb Corliss. You should really watch this. It is amazing. The guy has something missing in his brain.

Women never laugh at me. They run after me waving their underwear - especially when they know I buy my transport at Argos. Did I never tell you that I live in a special village that is an institution for the insane?

It is about the diameter of a frying pan. A 1KW or larger nominal motor will be drawing more than that at times of course. What could go wrong? I think I am much more likely to be harmed by a falling branch than by any of the batteries on ebikes that I have. None of them are over powered and...

Oh My God! Does that mean I might start looking like Guerney? I've hit a hundred miles on mine. I love it - for all its foibles. EDIT: To be fair, my niece rode 15 of those miles. :)

I never ride this little bike without a sense of joy and a grin all over my stupid face. Just did a 12 mile ride and 1081 feet of climbing on the under-powered Argos folder. That makes a total so far of a hundred miles. I have kept a log since there is no odometer on the bike. What a laugh...

I note he ignored the Ariana Grande remarks. No - the PCSOs, shouldn't have got involved. If I had come across that scene, I'd have done what the police officer did when he came and got stuck in. Thanks goodness not all police are as risk averse as those PCSOs. However - he had been 'water...

Not at all. Does an obvious truth need to be supported by something that happened yesterday? I think not. Instructions given to police and emergency health personnel right now involve them protecting themselves above all else. Many of the wounded at the Ariana Grande bombing were left...

Crazy Colin Furze invents another insane bicycle creation. If you haven't seen his manic videos, this fellow is pretty amusing. Insane bicycle powered by a pulse jet engine - trailing fire and doing fifty miles an hour in shirt sleeves and no helmet. Building the pulse jet bicycle: This...

Scottish MSP wants to shut down website which makes a joke of tourists falling off balconies. What will they stop you saying next? It may be tasteless or tacky, but how far will these people go to silence people who say things they don't like. Soon , we will be as silent as the people in North...

That's a nice looking bike. Not sure if they are speed control or current control.

Re Peter's correction to my 2023 battery fire deaths assertion, I have gone back and edited three posts that I have found where I posted the wrong figure. I didn't alter the original assertion but posted a note at the bottom saying it was wrong and giving the correct number which I understand...

Interesting data. Yes - The figure I gave was for London I googled the subject and got an answer that only included the London data. * I had asked about the UK. *This assertion is also based on a google search.

I remember the line, 'John - see the aeroplanes.' That was the best bit. The rest was tedious. I perked up when I saw an 'aeroplane' or two. I don't have any desire whatsoever to return to the time when people were treated badly because of their racial origin. I think both you and I have...
