    Jeremy Clarkson Suspended

    That's true, and i know of some who do that. My apologies for insulting you. I do think, however, that there is a world's difference between deprivation, suffering and hard work as defined in the UK and the third world.

    Jeremy Clarkson Suspended

    Actually, the proposition in the OP's post was Clarkson's possible sacking. I'm lucky, i guess, i'm an immigrant, make that a full time employed working immigrant who immigrated to do a job no one seemed able to do here. The lucky bit is that i dont feel trapped in the nasty little bunfight for...

    i respectfully disagree: life expectancy and crime are completely related to "hard work" - in kwazulu there is around 50 to 60% unemployment (where work is classified as full time secure employment) - if any of us remained unemployed in a sociuety withouit any social security 9such as Kwazulu)...

    Jeremy Clarkson Suspended

    my previous job was in Ngwelezana hospital in Kwazulu - the life expectancy there - for the general population is 37.5 years - mainly as a result of HIV and crime.

    "ordinary hard working people"? what in the world does a first world citizen know about hard work? You do, form your post, seem to know something about entitlement and privilege - to label a middleclass life in England a "decent life". With that you mean a life supported by various sweatshops...

    racism is unacceptable, regardles of whether its fabricated for ratings, or intentional. its not political correctness that makes racism a taboo - its the reality of concentration camps, apartheid, serbia - this has very little to do with handwringing liberalism.

    I'm no engineer, but i fail to see the actualk advantage of all that unnecesary unsprung weight - i can see the concepot might seem good, but in practice separating the compnents of teh system makes loads of sense

    Help needed old guy with broken spoke and a loose one .

    critical to read sheldon brown's guide to tightening spokes (its on google) - the spoke became loose because teh rim bent - if you simply tighten teh spokes you may make that worse - one has to straighten/true the rim first

    oil cooling info needed please

    completely noob question - but are you sure you need it at all? I know someone who routinely runs a BPM 500W at 1.5 kw in a hilly area witrh significant climbs without any additional cooling for i guess more than a year now with no heating problems whatsoever (and at a guess he weighs 100kg plus)

    Need E-bike for traveling around the world!

    Why an ebike? I need and have a pedelec because I have to do ten hilly miles in less than an hour five days a week. If I were a free to just travel,i'd do it much more leisurely and an ordinary brompton would be much less hassle
