I didn't think much of it for the first 6 to 8 week after I bought my bike. The reason was I just didn't have the leg strength required to get it to work properly. Now I use it almost all the time, both on road and off road. I've always had it though, so not known anything different. Perhaps...

I was thinking about the guy off Labour NEC who got suspended the other day. Someone said that the only way he could stay in the Labour parts is if the tape has been doctored. Now I don't think this has actually happened, but I think this is either possible to do now or if not will be very...

No I don't think it would, we are now in a post truth world. Facts are whatever people say they are, if they don't like the facts they just call it fake news.

Where is VFR when we need a good conspiracy theory? It appears that the rates of crime and violence dropped throughout the west when we started using more unleaded petrol. Do you think the oil companies have started slipping it back into their fuel. No idea why they might do that but there...

I don't think even BJ is dumb enough to reveal the true reason why he wanted Brexit.

I quite like the ideas in this piece by Owen Jones, what to the rest of you think? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/30/labour-reboot-ed-miliband-brexit-corbyn-referendum

Of the leadership contenders he is by far the best of a bad bunch. Lucky for Labour that he has absolutely no hope of being chosen by the No Deal wanting membership of the Tory Party even if he did make it to the last two.

With the words "Do you feel lucky Punk?" running through your head.

I had completely forgotten all about them. I never had one but I can just about remember desperately wanting one. This would have been over 45 years ago so no surprise I had forgot about them. I wonder if they are still made, unlikely I would think.

That's true and if you are correct then well spotted. I would never have guessed they were the same person.

When I was a teen ager most of us had air rifles, all of them British made except for one lad that had a German one. I think the make was called Original, and it was either a model 35 or 50 not sure which. The workman ship, accuracy and appearance of the rifle was far superior to all the...

JRM's book on the Victorians not doing too well by the looks of things. Funniest bit in the link shown below was this. And in the same week in 2003 that he was deposed as Tory leader, Iain Duncan Smith’s novel The Devil’s Tune sold 18 whole copies, a figure so dismal, that it is possible even...

Have you ever fired one? It's a lot more difficult than it looks in the films. The idea is not to just squeeze the trigger and shoot off loads of bullets in one go. When using one, the plan is to fire off about three rounds at a time in short bursts. This maintains accuracy and stops wasting...

Nice bikes, my Cube e-mtb is only just 12 months old so not looking to change it for a while yet, but if I was I would certainly be interested.

I haven't seen 50 mention the French, Tilson absolutely hated the French so I don't think they are the same person.

I haven't checked the figures myself I am just going from what I have read but I think the right are far craftier than the left when it comes to winning elections. In the USA apparently HC had more people vote for her than Trump and yet Trump is president, that does not seem fair. In the UK...

If Labour want any chance of winning the next GE then I think they need to come off the fence regarding Brexit and adopt a remain and reform agenda. I don't usually agree with much of what Ash Sarkar has to say, but I thought most of this article made good sense...

I did not say he had lost three general elections in a row I said he has lost three elections. I made sure I wrote facts and not fake news, seems like I didn't make it clear enough for you.

What is surprising to me is what an easy time JC seems to get of it. The hard left are always complaining that he gets a hard time from the media but how many other leaders would have got away with the following. Losing three elections in a row. JC was credited with not losing the GE by as...

I think so, I don't think she has much choice. Graham Brady has a sealed letter in his possession with the results of the vote the 22 committee took with regards to changing the rules about holding another confidence vote in the PM. Everyone assumes that the result of that vote is that they...
