    I’ve had a go on one. its like a big bmx. Its heavier than most fixies.

    not sure if they have brake mounts. so SS would be a no go.

    I personally think its fair enough if Churches don’t allow Gay marriage. But the whole argument over it being allowed in other places is just bolloxs.

    Registry offices/hotels etc are business’s and the place for anyone who doesn’t want a religious wedding.

    Nearly every bike part I have ordered has turned up late.

    After working in the industry there are so many hold ups,

    Couriers/suppliers/shops etc.

    Recently I ordered a Salsa fork from my local LBS. They checked the due in date on Ison’s b2b. A couple of days later I was told in would be another 4 weeks.
    Did that shop lie to me??

    If he was going to lie he probably lie to get you to buy something in stock.

    Any chance of a summation please?

    People who aren’t fans of the Queen have been mega grumpy
    People who are fans of the Queen had a great weekend
    People who don’t care got on with their lives.

    The Jubilee is now all now over so everyone is now getting back to their day to day lives. Until the next Royal occasion and it will be all repeat again.

    After trying loads of forks on my Pace 29er.

    The salsa’s where by far the best. No brake judder, comfortable and nice dropouts.

    …but, I take your point that the Prime Minister basically ‘runs’/manages the country and agree with you that the queen is unnecessary and we could do without her.

    Yes I agree on political terms,

    But as a symbol of our state, a representative of our nation then no.

    Because we could have some voted-for or even appointed for a fixed term, with the option to extend the ‘reign’ up to a point.

    Like a Prime Minister?

    We don’t. Did I say that? Can’t seem to find it…

    Then all is fine we can go about our lives then.

    You think we live in an advanced democracy ?

    It’s the people what govern is it ?

    How quaint.

    No. Isn’t that a more preferable state to be in? Don’t the obstacles to it need to be removed so that it can be achieved? Isn’t the royal family one of these? Anything else about this obvious point that you don’t understand?

    How obtuse.

    If you claim she is worthless and doesn’t do anything, why do we need to vote for someone to be worthless and do nothing?

    I went into our local last friday, saw they had just got Peroni on tap. Hot day so thought yeah i’ll have some. Spat it out when I found out it was £4.50 Which I thought was mega bucks.

    At events I expect to pay around £2 if I want a coke. Never thought of beer really.

    probably wouldn’t have got that game of darts then 🙁

    Still yet to see the USA having less holidays but hey, I live in england under a monarch and have a jubilee party to go too 🙂

    Singlespeed_Shep

    So i’m wrong on the money and your wrong on the amount of days??

    we’ve turned a thread about the jubilee into an argument about the USA

    TBH If this was in the pub i’d have got bored ages ago and asked if you fancied a game of darts instead.

    If we had something worth celebrating it would be worth the cost. What about Republic day – the day we became citizens not subjects and got rid the royal family.

    IF it happens then fair enough party time. Won’t happen in my life time so i’ll party with what’s going on now.

    Why not hang out the flags because the queen has been on the throne for 60 years?

    Regardless of job, anyone who does it for 60 years gets a party, her job affects more people so gets a bigger party.

    Paid leave in the US is typically half the amount we get here. So you’re wrong.

    It was an example in US having more holidays. If we had more holidays because we for example where a republic we would have more days off costing £6bn-£1.2bn.

    It’s a three day event that happens every year in Flims/Laax Switzerland. The clip is from the training for the Sunset ride on the Saturday evening. The chicken line entrance takes a different line to the road gap. It’s very possible that the jumping rider did not actually see the guy taking the chicken line until it was too late for him to do anything about it.

    I suspect that the economy of the country would not be significantly affected by the absence of the monarchy.

    This proves that there is no point to dissolve the monarchy or even keep it. Sort of a stalemate.

    We won’t be better or worse off so just leave it.

    So we can safely assume that your figures were also plucked out of the air? Anyway, £1.2 billion is rather more than £25 million from tat sales.

    The figures I got where from the news site that said the particular £6bn figure you are talking about was an estimate there has never been any proof it cost the economy this amount. (there is proof in what the wedding cost to run)

    £25 million of tat sales was from one individual event and was brought in direct relation to the royals themselves.This was very much appreciated in the retail sector.

    The argument of bank holidays has been going for ages regardless of the royals. If we where in the USA (a republic) we would have more holidays so lose a lot more money. Just think of the wedding last year and the jubilee this year as our “national days” something the TUC have been after.

    ps. I may be wrong, but I’m not 100% sure that the fairly arbitrary choice of a forum pseudonym makes me the reincarnation of an ancient Greek philosopher.

    I’m a singlespeeder called shep. so maybe there is something in it 😉
