  1. As long as the English comms isn't women commentary. Like fingers being scraped down a blackboard. I'd rather listen to the Thai's screaming "SUUPPERRRR SAAAAAAAVVVVE" The AIS deal is great, signed up yesterday.
  2. Good bikes, but maybe overkill for the type of riding I do. Plus I like triples.
  3. The roads around my farm are terrible. I put dualsport tyres on my MT09 and they're great for rough potholed roads and gravel tracks. Good in the wet too. I got the Pirelli MT60's.
  4. Working Wicking balaclavas under the helmet will do the trick. They have the added benefit of drawing sweat away from your head so you don't look like you've just got out of a sauna when you take the helmet off. Plus you can use it with every helmet you have and they're easy to wash. Good for keeping dust out of your mouth and earplugs in your ears too.
  5. Bit tricky at 80kph.
  6. Or quite possibly a drunk drug dealer with a gun. 😃 Top tip, when turning left onto a road, don't only look right. There's a good chance as you see a gap and pull out someone is heading towards you on the wrong side of the road. Or a motorbike is undercutting you. Or in my case, a car that passed 30 seconds before has since stopped and reversed back up the road to stop at the grilled chicken stall. It's a lottery.
  7. The Tories have an awful lot to answer for. Being so bad as to allow this shower into power is never going to be easy to forgive. We are now in the situation that the mood/mental fragility of the Chancellor on any given day is affecting the strength of the pound and the interest rate at which we can borrow money. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic. 2 Tier Keir and 2 Tear Reeves. Worse than Laurel and Hardy.
  8. I had a similar experience with a slight twist in Bangkok. When I swerved to narrowly avoid the idiot pulling out on me I nearly sideswiped a motorbike taxi who was overtaking me. He then did what you did, tailgating me and beeping/gesticulating until we reached the next red light. This led to a silent staredown like something proceeding a "quickest draw" gunfight in a spaghetti western. My finest Clint Eastwood impression must have worked, because he just rode off into the sunset. A tumbleweed blew across the dusty road in front of my car to the sound of a distant, slow playing banjo.
  9. Labour are simply paying lip service to this. They don't care, they just have to be seen to care. They are not going to do anything to upset their state funded propaganda channel. The irony of watching the middle class idiot festival goers cheering along after the brutal rape/slaughter of festival goers on October 7th that started this round of conflict was obviously lost on them. Absolute clowns.
  10. Great job. Just goes to show, all it took was the will to do it and a functioning mind. Biden lacked both. I hope 2 Tier Keir is watching.
  11. She did let 2 survive, I wonder how they will feel about their 3 (or was it 4?) siblings being terminated? They already have to deal with ruining their Mum's career. https://metro.co.uk/2024/03/12/lily-allen-i-love-children-totally-ruined-career-20446612/ Poor kids.
  12. Just don't add a gate to the stage entrance.
  13. Didn't know they made them that big.
  14. Highly unlikely they would be bigger than Reform. Would be great to see the left wing loony vote split though.
  15. Abbott probably thinks you can buy 10 of these planes for 50 grand. 😃 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/diane-abbott-interview-lbc-police-cost-numbers-awkward-excrutiating-a7712916.html
  16. Yes they are clearly terrorists. Look at their actions. And certainly when compared to "Prevent"'s definition where you only have to support an idea (that is currently held by millions of UK citizens) to be labelled not only a terrorist, but an extreme right wing terrorist. 😃
  17. Not only is he doing exactly what he said he would do prior to the election (rare in politics, especially in the UK) but it is working. Trump is indeed winning. I wish we had our own Trump.
  18. Like many Labour politicians, she hates the UK. Therefore she doesn't wish to see any organizations seeking to damage UK interests labelled a terrorist organization. It's really that simple.
  19. No surprise from this clown. What a disgrace this woman is.
  20. Cleared on all serious charges. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjd2e310k25o Guilty on the least serious. With time served I reckon he'll be out in a year or two at the most. The best justice money can buy.
  21. Already been acknowledged and apologized for. Good luck with that. Labour are the only government stupid enough to consider such a thing and the Chancellor has made such a mess of the finances that she can't even sit in Parliament without shedding those Liberal tears.
  22. Let's hope so. It's a brilliant idea. Why make it temporary?
  23. It's already been acknowledged (and apologized) for profusely. https://www.aph.gov.au/Visit_Parliament/Art/Icons/Apology_to_Australias_Indigenous_Peoples Now they want the cold hard cash. 💰
  24. The subject is bringing up wrongdoings from centuries ago in order to seed hatred, resentment and division in modern day societies. I'm not the least bit surprised you're a fan of such a tactic.
  25. I'm sure the Aboriginies would be happy to receive the payment in their place. We'd have to make sure none of them were descendants of tribes that killed or stole land/women from other Aboriginal tribes though. Since we are judging historical events by modern standards, we should also make sure none of them were descendants or the tribes that engaged in things like cannablism as well.
