There are machine guns and there are sub-machine guns. In what way are the latter sub? Are they just inferior machines?

20. Inferior in a way. They use lower calibre ammunition compared to machine guns. Basically they are super handguns with a slightly longer body.

can you count and are you avoiding the building question?

[b]18[/b]. It's a 720. It was in reasonable condition... I had to bolt on upgrades, new brakes, stem, bars, dropper etc. But I've had to do this with all the bikes I've bought 2nd hand.

[b]18.[/b] The PJ's were for warmth, gets cold at night round there. A psychologist would question why you have fixation on bear c*cks?!

We have "Victorian" to describe stuff when Victoria was about, "Georgian" for George times, and then "Elizabethan" for the Elizabeths. What will it be when Charles takes over, will we use Charlesian or Charlsan or Charlean or something else?

21. By the time he sits on the throne he'll have 10 years left in him tops. Can 10 years be called an era and therefore be classed with a name?? However this is an easy answer the era would be called the Third Caroline Era which is latin for Charles. We've already had 2 previous king Charles-eses.

22. Only if you have ketchup to go with it. If not.. I suggest cheese on toast.

is it ok to start building work at 4pm on sunday?

23. Only if you have all the necessary materials in place before hand. Most major DIY stores shut at 4pm on a Sunday. Plan ahead.

Can you put the front brake on and do big burn outs?

Do you think you really need E bike specific kit though? I weigh more than you and your bike together ( yes yes I'm a lard arse!) and don't have issues with brakes, or destroy cassettes chains on any of my bikes?

24. I haven't tried. I think you could get away with relatively small one on some loose ground. However I'd run the risk of being labelled a "dick" for the rest of my life. It's a title which is hard enough to avoid on an ebike.

25. I'd say the chain needs to be ebike specific. The torque that goes through it will lead to premature wear. I haven't gone overboard with the brakes just some regular Shimano XT's. Buying some full DH Saints did cross my mind but that would be overkill. Everything else I bolted on was just stuff I'd put on a normal bike. It comes with a 60mm stem and really short bars - that had to be sorted straight away.

27. Yea. In a pinch I've used shower gel as bubble bath. However... the other way round - Bubble bath as shower gel. I think we can all agree is wrong.

28. My office days are behind me. But it used to be the cleaner. She was a gob-shite.

29. Power steering on my car. Sometimes I used lifts. I do enjoy escalators. Automatic doors are hard to avoid. I've had a remote control for my TV since the 80's that saves a lot of bother. Emails they save a whole of effort. My mobile phone saves me walking 120 miles to my mum's house to check on her. At some point I've been sneered at for using all of these.

30. They are designed so that pollen and nectar stick to them. Without bee's knee's we'd struggle to pollinate plants and feed all humans on the planet.

35. Quite a few times. Sometimes you go to those fancy hotels and they have one of those toast conveyor belts machines - awesome. I would probably be called a cheat for using a toaster though as I didn't build a fire, bake the bread then toast it myself. Toasters are for fat lazy gits.

35. subquestion I

When you've queued for toast. Do you put the bread in and wait beside the conveyor or do you wander off to browse other breakfast items in the belief that your toast will be there when you return and won't have been taken by a toast pilferer?

37. Never leave your toast un-attended.

38. The previous owner had bolted on some very old crap brakes. Not standard. So put on some 2016 Shimano XTs. Can't remember the exact model.

39. Buy an ebike... the feeling of joy it brings will distract you from the rejection.
