Yes, I found this out a long while ago - I was wearing glasses at the time and it scratched the lens - a salutary lesson. I drape my greasy rag ove...

The virus cannot move. It needs people to move it. The more people move around the more it spreads. It doesn't matter how old the people are. Driving miles to park next to others, stop for fuel, drinks, call the AA, etc. helps spread the virus. Doing it when it's not necessary is anti-social. We're ...

Just a suggestion - should this thread be retitled as "Advanced nitpicking as an activity during the Covid 10 outbreak". When you're 70 it would matter greatly if you discovered that you were really 72. Or 68 and 70. :D :D :D This wasn't a reference to the age related posts or anyone in p...

Just a suggestion - should this thread be retitled as "Advanced nitpicking as an activity during the Covid 10 outbreak".

Thanks all.

As per the title. When I open a link in a post it opens in the same tab. It used to open a new tab. I'm not aware of changing anything and can't find an option to change it back. What am I doing wrong?

The argument is about the malevolent form of nimbyism involved in agitating for a switch from diesel to petrol cars. We can do the switch and improve our local air quality at the expense of dumping the problem of increased carbon emissions on everybody else. Does anyone have a moral justification fo...

The pollution in vehicle exhausts isn't a trivial matter. How they smell is. If anyone argued that we should ban all petrol engines 'cos we don't like the smell of Hydrogen Sulphide we'd all laugh at them. I live in a small village about 4 miles outside Tewkesbury. Our local air quality problem is t...

.......................The OP is arguing that populating the streets with millions and millions of diesel engines represented important work to tackle CO2 problem..................... Unfortunately you've made this up, maybe my post wasn't clear enough. My point was that the switch to diesel was an...

Unfortunately this thread is a 55 page squabble about the placement of deckchairs on the Titanic. Globally we have a problem with the pollution (in the widest sense - greenhouse gases, congestion, danger, social impact) from motor vehicles. All motor vehicles cause this including electric and hydrog...

Yes, real men don't adjust their gears anyway and even if they did they'd use a 7lb lump hammer.

..................I suspect that they used DT shifters, and they would have been to last that Campag produced. Campag produced 8 speed DT Synchro shifters, initially with an specific insert that would do 8 speeds and later just an insertless 8 speed version that worked (insofar as Synchro I or II e...

I used to have some 7 speed 126mm Campag cassette hubs. They were Athena and Xenon. They were of he same vintage (late 80's, early 90's ?) as Synchro DT shifters and there was a specific insert for the levers for them (as there was for different makes of freewheel originally, later versions of Synch...

My reading of the act as posted by TC is that it would cover you riding the dog but not leading it. Is this what you had in mind
