    [Travel] UK Electric Scooter Law... You decide.

    There is no completely safe solution to driving at all. Motorised vehicles are inherently dangerous. Getting rid of bicycles or electric scooters will not get rid of deaths on the roads and would increase over all societal deaths. Fewer bike journeys would mean more car journeys resulting in...

    [Travel] UK Electric Scooter Law... You decide.

    If safety is your primary concern, wouldn't it be better to have fewer cars, vans and lorries on the roads. The latest figure show that during the first six months of last year, there was been a significant decrease in motorised traffic and an increase in cycling - overall result: 20% fewer...

    [News] Do you consider yourself Posh - How many ticks on the list ?

    Khazi is a cockney slang word so more for the poshos pretending to be cab drivers...or Guy Ritchie.

    [News] Do you consider yourself Posh - How many ticks on the list ?

    Shitter is much posher than toilet, so you still may be posh. Bog is posher than either.

    [Albion] Which European football powerhouse could have tempted you away from the Albion?

    Being an immigrant to Sussex, I might just be persuaded to return to Scotland and join the '67 Celtic team that won the European Cup. Playing in a team with all but one player in the squad born within 11 miles of the ground (and the odd one out, Bobby Lennox, was from Saltcoats, only 30 miles...

    [Albion] Neal Maupay's post-match red card

    I did my FA coaching course at Chelsea's training ground at Cobham and the tutor had been the coach of the U18 team that had won the FA Youth Cup the previous year. The course is supposed to be all about setting up drills and small sided games to let the players learn for themselves whilst...

    [Music] Share the greatest lyrics you've ever heard with me.

    I saw two shooting stars last night, I wished on them but they were only satellites, Is it wrong to wish on space hardware? I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care. Billy Bragg - New England

    [Music] 1971, a year without parallel.

    This made me chuckle: "Imagine the Jackson 5, but white and not good. You would get the Osmonds."

    [Drinking] Natural wines

    As G1976 implies "Brut Nature" is nothing to do with it being a natural wine, it is an indication of how much sugar has been added (or not added in this case).

    [Drinking] Natural wines

    Glad you enjoyed it. It generally retails at about £40 - £45 and I think is exceptional value at that price. It should be noted that a small amount of sulphur is added on bottling so it is not an extreme no-added-sulphur-at-all wine.

    [Drinking] Natural wines

    I am not an evangelist for Natural wine - I don't like the term and I don't like many of the wines - so don't have a stream of names ready to go. I am just probably slightly more open to them than some. First I would recommend Esprit Nature form Henri Giraud Champagne. They are not natural...

    [Drinking] Natural wines

    For the factual part 40mg/l for whites and 30mg/l for reds and sparkling are the limits set out by the Association des Vins Naturels. Other organisations have different levels. In my experience, the rate of success is getting better, however, like you, I wouldn't choose to drink natural (by...

    [Drinking] Natural wines

    To a certain extent that depends on your definition of natural. If you mean the absolute avoidance of any additives at all then you are probably right that you don't have any. But if you accept the more widespread definition of total sulphites below 20 or sometimes 30 or even, for white wines...

    [Football] The disallowed goal

    Yes, I know it has changed several times. My point is that it has always been the position of the player when the ball is played by a teammate that is important; not the direction of the ball or the position of the offside player when he plays the ball. Whoever told you it was the case was...

    [Football] The disallowed goal

    I don't think it's ever been relevant. This is the original 1863 offside law: When a player has kicked the ball any one of the same side who is nearer to the opponent’s goal line is out of play and may not touch the ball himself nor in any way whatever prevent any other player from doing so...

    [Football] Liverpool and Manchester United lead ‘European League’ breakout league idea

    Yes, I agree with you entirely. All I am suggesting is that it might be best to find a compromise that can work for more people rather than ending up with the currently proposed ESL.
