i've been on two wheels for about 6 weeks now, all commuting miles so far. to be honest i've found most car drivers ok and quite polite about mopeds/motorbikes. the things that annoy me are the fat chelsea tractors that take up so much of the lane that you can't sqeeze past! i've only been...

looks a good idea but may be a bit too quiet for my liking! i'm not sure how many hydrogen pumps we have in blighty...seen a few LPG pumps but they are few and far between. although $3 (about £1.50) for 100 miles is fantastic value - a big engined car probably burns that amount of petrol...

cheers col, i'll be mostly using it for commuting and just driving around town, no touring but may consider taking it round a track once in a while and the odd spurt along the motorway. hopefully i'll manage more riding than june-sept, although maybe not in jan/feb! never heard of the heated...

hmm...that's a tourer of some sort is it? I'm wanting something a bit more dynamic. a tourer might be a bit fat & slow for getting through the traffic in rush hour.

evening all, I've recently passed my CBT (basic bike training) and have been driving a 125cc moped about - i'm absolultely loving it!!!!. I'm now wanting to do the direct access test (lets me ride a bike of unlimited power:eek: ). i am trying to think of what would be a suitable bike for me...

well, the thrust of braveheart was correct....those pesky ingerlish suppressing the brave scots:D :D

where i'm from (east coast of scotland) church is not really a big thing, although i did go to church as a kid, well, sunday school before my parents got pi**ed off with the hipocrasy of certain members of the congregation. i have a few mates of my age (just hit/hitting 30:( ) who are regular...

if i remember right they did give us the sidewinder missile which was brand spanking new technology in those days....that along with the argentinian air force's reluctance to engage the harriers in combat allowed us to blow most of their planes out the sky with next to no losses for our air force.

i think we should be doing more space exploration, although one step at a time....get back to the moon first to help develop space technology and then think of getting to mars - only problem is the cost....there are loads of other issues that compete for money

the world rankings are based on a your results and the usa are in a regional group for qualifying (or confederation as fifa calls them - concacaf) that is a touch lightweight compared to european/african groups. that is why *cough* good european teams such as scotland have a lowly rating of...

the occasional lucky one gets away with it..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/beds/bucks/herts/3723508.stm

shame, although he did have a good innings... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4837988.stm guess that's the way of the world - live life in slow motion and be around for ages but live life at fast forward and end up like james dean! they are going to carbon date the shell to get an...

here's the one i was thinking of buying.....:D http://www.soccerhell.co.uk/twoteams/twoteamsnavy.php

i have similar feelings regarding football/soccer - i love the game but it annoys me how slight contact results in a player faking a dive/injury. i also hate the way that players give the referee dog's abuse at every turn - it is prevalent from the professional game right down to the sunday...

unfortunately the scottish team didn't make it (tough qualifying group, honest guv...not that we are crap at football:rolleyes: ) so i didn't fancy taking time off work. my workplace will be showing the matches that happen in the afternoons...the big screen projectors on the dealing floors will...

probably true pbaldy - unless the green party win a majority in westminster the UK would not unilaterally disarm. even if they did (and correct me if i'm wrong but there are no green mps at westminster) i can't see other countries following the lead. it would need either a consensus at the UN...

The UK Parliament has now started the process of debate regarding the replacement of the Trident missile system - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4804144.stm Should the UK replace this system or make the the brave decision to get rid of a nuclear deterrent in the hope that it spawns a...

i'm a compliance something-or-other......spend my days making sure the bank i work for doesn't break the FSA rules. at least it means i get to play about with the odd database:eek: mmm...Hoegaarden. i can manage about two half pints of that before the dribbling and gurning starts! is the...

does my opinion count? 'coz i second rich's carefully considered view!! i am steve bruce apparently.....

thankd dt, yes, it is slagging off rather than anything more serious (as far as i am aware). it seems some people have had a bad experience at the hands of a company and wanted to vent their feelings to potential customers of this firm. some of the comments may be justified but some probably...
