How is the rolling resistance of the extra fat tyres compared to a ‘skinny’ mountain bike?

I find watching an event run around the same course or track dull as well. Maybe the answer is shorter stages but run a very more extreme terrain with more sprints and KOM points. Plus more off road or pavé sections.

The Co-op bought out the existing farm shop/grocery store near to where I live and Co-opised it despite their having an existing shop a few hundred yards away. They won’t sell either unit for fear a competitor will occupy it.

Plus many Co-ops are located where there is little competition forcing the transport compromised elderly to pay the prices they demand or go without.

Socialist? No!

The Guardian Project apps are more relevant than ever…

Yes, we’re all in it together…

I’m told the M3 northbound can be awful as well.

As opposed to a continuation of the last five years of austerity policies which has left Greece in this state?

How long until the usual EU ruse of another referendum is employed?

Assuming you clear the Portsmouth Ferry Port by 09.00 you should miss the worst of the M275/M27 rush hour traffic. I don’t know which route you have planned but the A27 or A259 are notorious for traffic hell

Zombie Maggot apparently.

Using the term ZM devalues your arguments somewhat.

So in other words your children in effect become state property?

That’s an average of six exit polls, all of which have No in a narrow lead. Unless there is a lot of ballot box stuffing in the next couple of hours I’m considering it a result

Probably not. Though I wouldn’t rule out the referendum being ‘adjusted’ slightly to Nai…

Polls just closed. Early exit polls so far 51/49%.

Perhaps so, but that’s no excuse.

What irks me is the use of textspeak in the title.

4x lacing.

I write science fiction/dystopia. Everyone gets writer’s block; my strategies for bypassing it are to work on another part of the plot or just pedal on slowly against the stiff headwind. You could try writing up to 500 words in short spells or just leave it for a few days until yuour muse returns – as it will.

As for publishing or self-publishing in paper or ebook form, I took a look at it and decided not to bother. For we amateurs there are sites such as Wattpad or Widbooks to make your work known.

Could you not fit 27.5 wheels to your 29er frame?

Because it makes rich people richer.

The only sensible option was the one which was never considered; no expansion in airport capacity and a planned reduction over the long term.

Send for Shep!

Seriously though, I remember him from Blue Peter waaaay back in the 70s.

The same age as the rest of me.

Asus MeMo pad 7 is worth a look for £70.

Yes, they should have pushed as hard as possible and/or defaulted while the rest of the EU was still in shock.

But it makes the week come alive… Isn’t Shimano introducing a 7.86 day week standard from 2024?

No doubt he’ll be let off.

I thought their policy was live and let die.

I suspect the referendum is a get out of jail card for Syrizia. They know full well that given the certainty of remaining part of an austerity focused greater whole or going it alone, a frightened people subjected to an overwhelming propaganda assault will vote for the status quo. If by some mischance they didn’t the EU and the domestic government would do what they always do when the natives get a bit bolshie; change a couple of minor points and then resubmit the proposal again until they get an approval, or failing that nobble the votes…

The Portsmouth News is a %&£#@ awful paper, but it’s like w^$king; you know you shouldn’t but you can’t help yourself…

As for the BBC, I’ve stopped viewing or listening to its ‘news’ output; instead using Al Jazeera or internet sources instead. I feel far better informed and can feel my brain cells growing back.

Expect a rushed bill to steamroller it through.

A stout bin liner for your wet gear inside a normal bag?

How else are they going to maintain their high profile sponsorships?

The police are acting to select vehicles to be directed to the stop point because as I understand the law the HA staff do not have such powers.

And why refuse to answer? Because I choose to!

So check your travel insurance carefully as to what is covered, and keep the UK consulate contact details to hand.

If you owe your lender £1,000,000 and have trouble repaying it, you are in trouble. If the amount is £1,000,000,000,000 they are in trouble…

I hope the Greeks default and bring whole euro sham crashing down.

The Davy Crockett nuclear mortar. That’ll stop ’em!
