    Brexit, for once some facts.

    His brother was the one for me, he often make appearances on US tv speaking the kind of sense you never hear on this side of the pond in the HOC.

    I think it's got something to do with dropping a bar of soap in a prison shower :D

    E folders under a grand?

    There's a whole range of manufacturers using that same frame/battery combo like Oyama for example so getting a spare shouldn't be too difficult. I believe you can even get an empty battery case meaning you can get it celled yourself.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Boris works on the same principal as Trump, he once said he didn't care what crimes he was charged with as he would just pardon himself. Boris can do whatever he wants with a large majority inc. breaking the law because he can wrangle himself out of it.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The trouble with all these fact & figures is that no one really knows the truth about anything, they just make it up as they go along like Bob Dylan and his songs. He'd sing a few words blow on his Harmonica while he had a think then sing another line ... genius !

    Cyclist with 80cc engine on their mountain bike failed to stop for police then fell into a bush

    I live quite close to a school, at kicking out time the kids jump on their scooters and their mates/girlfriends climb on too and off they shoot in the middle of the road riding 2-up. The other thing I keep seeing is scooter riders texting on their phones, it amazes me they can be sold as it's...

    Guinea Pig Needed

    The Sinclair C5 was built at the Hoover washing machine factory in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. The motor was I believe a Polymotor built in Italy but interestingly they also made washing machine motors for Hoover hence all the confusion. The bodywork was manufactured in Taiwan and the whole thing...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think that really must get up Farage's nose, the fact that in reality we never will actually turn our backs on the EU. He's talked himself out of a job with nothing to show for it, even Trump didn't want him hanging around for too long in the US :D

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Let's not forget he just carried out the wishes of the people all decided on before he took over. Only Cameron wanted to stay, May sat on the pot till the last minute before deciding to follow everyone else and plump for leave, Boris just went whichever way the wind was blowing at the time. When...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The schools I went to it was the teachers who went into a trance. One teacher I can remember after lunch break would settle down in his chair behind his desk and nod off, he'd tell me to keep an eye open for the head and tip him the wink should he turn up expectantly. I hated school mainly...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My father was a construction worker who worked on very large building projects. At one time he was helping to build a huge department store which had a basement well below sea level, all the time work was going on the place kept flooding and they had to keep pumping out water. Eventually when...

    E-scooters for hire in Birmingham from next week - These are the rules..

    A couple of incidents I witnessed recently with my little eye. Two kids on scooters travelling down a busy road, one was in the road the other on the pavement next to him. A bus approached them from behind heading to a bus stop and the one in the road started banging his foot down hard trying to...

    That reminds me of those drum dynamo's, you bolted it on the bottom bracket and flicked a lever when you wanted to power up your lights. They tended not to slow you down as much as a bottle dynamo but again slippage was a problem in the wet, wonder if they still make them ?

    Can't say I've ever met a shirt lifting builder, must exist I suppose. Very wise to keep an eye out though just in case.
