The design has been around for forty years, I've not found another case where a vehicle has flipped. So something different happened here, I'm not speculating what.

I was a bit bemused like others no doubt. Why the original post and what the intention was - to get everyone to stop using the business? Surely taking it up with the shop is sufficient. They score pretty well on Trustpilot with 30,000 reviews 60 percent 5, and a few stinkers for a variety of issues I also wondered why a 16 year old was taking supplements, I know they are popular in older teens and young men. I did my research too, like Ian above. Lightly or unregulated, government advice is to go for whole foods. And yes expect the 18 + is advisory.

Good heavens. Emergency Thames water works? How unusual. Yes I am being ironic. Hope back to normal soon.

It's not a poor decision. Unpopular for some. Popular for others

They carry guns at the airport. It may not make it ok but that is a fact. In France and America they all carry guns.

More chance of winning a lottery prize than catching a bike thief
malumbu replied to Moovart's topic in The Lounge
TfL and the Met had a small team a few years ago dedicated to addressing bike theft. https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2011/february/officers-target-bike-thieves-and-successfully-reunite-stolen-bikes-with-their-owners I assume that went with austerity. There is now a Task Force https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/metropolitan-police-service-cycle-taskforce And some advice from the MPS: https://www.met.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/keeping-vehicles-safe/how-safe-is-your-bike/ The marking service is good and helps. As a cyclist you do your best to minimise the likelihood and I would never leave a high end bike locked on the street out of sight. I've had three bikes stolen in London over the last two decades. Gum Tree sadly makes it too easy and for every bike theft there is someone knowingly or unknowingly prepared to buy a bargain that is stolen. -
It's standard procedure by all accounts. Airports are very different to routine policing. Obviously they may reconsider procedures particularly due to the negative publicity. Sadly social media (and streaming) has facilitated fake news, mistruths, toxic behaviour and hate crime. As for banter and irony, I know too well that what I think is a funny comment on this site may be misinterpreted. Lineham has quite a long history of saying things that many will find offensive.

Centrist politics - why have Tories gone further to the right?
malumbu replied to malumbu's topic in The Lounge
There are other threads about Labour. I'm interested it the party that should be considered the opposition. They have half an opportunity but seem to be getting nowhere. They remain part of the system, for the time being, even though Farage wants them decimated. We've had one person speak up for them, but I've seen nothing of how they will turn things around. -
How many people are still angry? People seem to go on more about cyclists, another common issue on this forum. I expect most are just used to it now and have come to terms with it, and hopefully many like me like it.

In deed, and whatever we think there was great popular support for his more extreme views - feels like history is repeating itself. However, really interested in the title of the thread. -
If she, he and/or you can sing with a small audience you could join the Goose people at the monthly sing around, now at the Castle. The German version of silent night always goes down well I understand - that's a genuine comment

It's standard procedure when a suspect arrives at the airport. It was obviously a quiet news day. And it wasn't funny what he said. Why did he feel compelled to say anything at all? We will let the adults sort it out, Chief Constables, Commissioners and the government.

Why don't you discuss the question rather than make a personal attack. It's how I remember to spell her name. https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/11/04/why-badenoch-is-dangerous/ Found this article by Richard Murphy, former accountant and tax avoider who now looks at the world from.a different perspective A little long and I'll need to digest. -
Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

Funny you are talking about gambling. Blair's liberalisation of the laws has led to so much hurt. Yes I digress, ☺️ -

Corrected a typo. -

malumbu replied to malumbu's topic in The Lounge
@jazzer we all know your politics. This is questioning why the Tories have moved to the right. Not about Labour, you have other threads for this. So (a) do you support your party moving to the right? (b) Why do you see Farage as a flash in the pan? He is gathering lots of momentum and I don't see that changing and I certainly don't see former Tory voters switching back. Others may have views too! -

Corrected, a typo, easy to remember Bad Enoch, after the infamous politician -
With the Labour bashing that often happens in the Lounge I thought it good to get some balance. You don't need to bash Labour as they are doing it themselves. I expect you could say that the LibDems are taking the centre left. Despite Polanksi's landslide I don't see him as uniting the country. So the question is why under Badenoch, following on from Truss and Sunak, has the Tory party continued to lurch to the right? The obvious answer is their membership, some see many of these as climate change deniers and xenophobic https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-68581917 Will going down the direction of Reform win them any votes? What ever happened to one nation conservatism?? Genuinely interested.

Complex property arrangements, the investigation will show whether her solicitor cocked it up or whether she misled. She's one of the more I interesting politicians and the right wing media will be looking out for anything and everything. Explains why she went to the Guardian. -
You could take them to some of the outer boroughs to see the display of flags from lamp posts. Don't answer that. Walk up to and around Sydenham Hill and onto the village if the weather is good.

They have the powers though. When is it time for you to quit and move on? A serious question. It is not going to be reversed.

Ambulance? I meant ambitious tree planting programme. We are talking here about urban trees rather than recreating an ancient forest.
