Farage NEW PM

[Graham Breeze]

That would upset a million anglers in the first week and lose their votes, oh hang on, he’s our benign dictator and doesn’t need votes.

Sometimes when I am out for a long bike ride in the cold wind and the rain I ponder on what exactly is the point of angling.

Are you really that old?

Not quite old enough to have known Curly Hetchins before someone named a frame after him.

Not sure if this is a joke, a genuine mistake, or an attempt to flush out anyone on the forum who knows what a curly Hetchins actually is (it's not rude).

I am assuming that it is a joke (Mark G is quite knowledgeable about bikes). I did actually have a bike made by Alf Hetchins two years before he retired (my bike is frame number 13198; his last was apparently 13270).

Only (H)Alf in jest...

When I was a school boy in ...er...well anyway my chum and I used to loiter in the bike "sheds" (actually it had a sandstone roof - it being a posh school) and lust at curly stays and the first campagnolo 10 speed I ever saw.

Happiest days of my life - allegedly, although being poor I only had a Carlton.

It is to keep shimano making substantial profits, so they may further develop advanced cycle gears.
Well you did ask!

You heard it here first.

You should put a tenner on it WP. I suspect you'll get good odds - what with Farage having failed seven times to win a seat in the commons.

Although the UK economy isn't exactly flying at the moment, I'm not convinced there are many parallels with Argentina: https://www.reuters.com/markets/emer...0of%20180.7%25.
185% !!

But you're right: at some point there will be something that disrupts the current two-party status quo in British politics.

33% of all voters prepared to vote for a Farage led Reform UK Party.

Notably that breaks down to 43% of Tory voters and 25% of Labour voters.
