I find it a bit weird that people still believe England are a good team anyway. When have we actually been good? 1966, fair enough. 1986/1990? Maybe. But we've never been consistently successful as a nation, even at a European level. There's far too much hype and expectation because someone...

I didn't claim that he had. I don't know if he has or not. It doesn't really matter - you seemed to want evidence that the statement was correct, not evidence that the statement was made.

MEPs do not have the authority to revoke EU membership - it's a matter for national government. That is why UKIP cannot prevent British membership of the EU. They can take the money and not vote for anything (as their MEPs currently do), but this still doesn't mean that MEPs can pull out of the...

The fact that it happened in a neutral ground goes to show that it really could've been anyone - it was Liverpool there on that day due to the draw. It nearly happened to Spurs fans a couple of years earlier in the same place. The problem was known about, and those in charge allowed it to...

Done it once, on an 8:30am start - bloody nightmare. Impossible to ride at your own pace and very stop-start. Also there were a few idiots who thought it was a) a race and b) they had the ability to ride in a group. Crashes and near-misses ensued. I did have fun on the Beacon though - shouting...

Does anyone actually have any evidence that driving and car use boosts the economy of local businesses? There's plenty showing that creating an environment where people are bale to walk and cycle safely boost it...

Anyone who thinks a bike going through a red light causes the same danger to pedestrians as a car doing the same should've worked harder at school. F=MA.

The roads are clogged at rush hour because there are too many people driving over fairly short distances on journeys that could and should be taken by another mode of transport. There are too many kids being driven to school on journeys they could cycle or walk but "the roads are too dangerous"...

Is there anything stipulating that the highly experienced developers are not also graduates?

Nice effort. How were the other splits? You might be quicker overall to take the edge off the bike to give yourself more on the run. Swimming is stupid anyway, and just a necessary evil because duathlons only happen in the winter. (Alternatively I could do some actual training....)

I quite regularly miss the start of races - I missed stage 1 of Qatar hence my 9th place. It was definitely the missed stage, and certainly nothing to do with my terrible team. Yes, that's it...

Because 'transport' is about getting people to and from the ground. Evacuation procedures within the ground is not transport. It's about the capacity of exits and walkways. You can put as many extra trains and buses on as you like (transport) but with finite space to get people out safely in an...

Current team kit should only be worn by people paid to ride in it. Retro is ok. Stick to just the jersey though, maybe a cap. The cycling equivalent of a 'full kit wanker' is a full kit wanker. Alternatively just buy what you like - it's your money. If something's good quality and good value...

And certainly nothing to do with the law...

There are a variety of reasons that some cyclists 'mis-use' road infrastructure. Some of it is impatience, some of it is due to safety concerns, but most of it is because the infrastructure is wrong. Most roads are currently designed with motor traffic in mind, and any cycle provision is added...

There's a huge difference between being called a nasty word and being punched in the face. Neither are acceptable, but the 2nd is always worse. Absolutely no need for violence in this (or pretty much any) situation.

It appears he was on the pavement when he hit the lamp-post. Strange how the coroner sees fit to blame cleats for the accident instead of not looking where you're going...

So you can complain about cyclists riding without lights and wearing dark clothes, you mean? Crossing the ASL when the light is red is against the Highway Code, as all drivers are required to know. It's the same as jumping a red light.

What sort of dog?
