Rather than having to stop if a bug has died on your visor, right in your eyeline, as they always do.


How do they actually manage to do that?! And always right after you've just cleaned the foccing thing!  :grumble

If they spell emissions correctly, it could possibly affect me. But no, not while there are grammatical errors to be found  :b

My take on it: this is a nicely taken shot of an ok looking bike:






and this one is a crap angle on an ok looking bike:

Or,





But you could have had:





Which in my view, is a better angle, taken by a complete amateur snapper, of a very nice looking bike.


An insightful post from VNA though  ;)

Im sure ive said it before somewhere on here, the multi nationals in cahoots with govts will be reluctant to act more than they are presently until they can get at the reserves under the ice in the polar regions. Some major companies are already involved in exploring what has already been uncovered in Norway and north western Russia. Antarctica is already divided up into slices like a cake, and owned by the major nations


The easiest way to get at resources under the ice caps is for us to increase global warming until they melt.


Removing all waste plastics endangers the species of bacteria that thrives on plastic waste.


The best way way of reducing pollution is to reduce the human population. The best way to reduce the human population is to increase global warming, with its consequent climate change-induced catastrophes.


I'm all for allowing the return of 2 stroke motorcycles. Rang-a-dang-dang!

Don't taper rollers last longer? Something about ball bearings, when they loosen, causing indents in the races, which doesn't happen with tapers?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: How much is your FZS 1000 worth?
« on: 28 December 2018, 11:59:22 pm »
Been looking on Ebay etc and the price of FZS 1000 just seem to getting higher.
It seems it is being driven by dealers and bike shops pushing up the prices on all bikes.One dealer has described the FZS 1000 as a "future classic " so hopefully we are sitting on money in the bank?


It seems just about anything becomes a 'classic' when it gets rare enough  :rolleyes But I'm more ambitious than that; mine will be a barn find :lol

Yes, I would love to see an Independent Scotland, but REMAINING in the EU, and continuity in doing so is a priority.


You really are confused, aren't you  :lol

Leavers don't do forecasts and predictions because they believe 'getting back control' means we should all pay for it with more austerity.

Leavers just want to get out and get on with running our country.

Still waiting for the positive Leave forecasts that suggest this is all wrong  :rolleyes


Forecasts and predictions are for Remainers who have nothing better to do. Leavers just want to get out and get on with running our country.

He's got a doctorate in Economics for christsake. They don't dish those out for nothing.


There are no Leave forecasts because they know the results are very bad. Either that or they have trouble with 2+2. So they just criticise to deflect the truth.


Here's part of Carney's entry from Wikipedia. I suppose that's all lies too?  :b



''The epoch-making feature of his tenure as Governor of the Bank of Canada remains the decision to cut the overnight rate by 50 basis points in March 2008, only one month after his appointment. While the European Central Bank delivered a rate increase in July 2008, Carney anticipated the leveraged-loan crisis would trigger global contagion. When policy rates in Canada hit the effective lower-bound, the central bank combatted the crisis with the non-standard monetary tool: "conditional commitment" in April 2009 to hold the policy rate for at least one year, in a boost to domestic credit conditions and market confidence. Output and employment began to recover from mid-2009, in part thanks to monetary stimulus. The Canadian economy outperformed those of its G7 peers during the crisis, and Canada was the first G7 nation to have both its GDP and employment recover to pre-crisis level''


Even a broken clock is right twice a day  ;)


His average however isn't very good. Not least his forecast of instant disaster immediately following the referendum.

. Useless Carney with his failed forward guidance proves he knows nothing
You mean Mark Carney who graduated from Harvard with a degree with high honours in economics, before postgraduate studies at Oxford where he received masters and doctoral degrees. Then of course Goldman Sachs and the Bank of Canada before his current job.
Where are the Leave 'experts'  coming up with convincing forecasts and figures?


Pfft. The world has lost count of how many times he has u-turned on his forecasts.

Funny how all these predictions of the UK being this much or that much worse off have suddenly hit the headlines today. BofE for instance. And this would be the same BofE that didn't predict the 2008 financial crash?  :rolleyes
Governments own figures project for 15 years. So I guess in 1993, they should have been able to predict the 2008 financial crash too?  :rolleyes


In 15 years, I wonder if there'll even be an EU.

You can't answer a question with another question.

I did answer your question. I said I didn't attempt to predict the outcome of the EU referendum. Answered your question about why I didn't, too.

My question (still unanswered by anybody) is what do you think is going to happen next?


Oh, that question. No idea.


Right, now we've got that out of the way, why do you think Farage got his prediction (and therefore you got yours) wrong?

I suppose because I didn't think I knew who would win.

Btw, I don't much care for him either.
Seems I've got more in common with you :eek



It's possible  :)


However:



Whereas you are not answering my question at all  :)
 



i.e why do you think Farage (and therefore yourself) predicted the outcome of the EU referendum incorrectly?
