Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Anyway isn't it time at your age that you bought an electric bike.

I have a 30year old scooter on the back of my motorhome for when I am in France and a bicycle on the back of the car. Managed to do 30miles three times last week trying to get fit again.

No problems.

chuckle - not sure whether or not you are older than me
cycling's fine for cardio but useless for core which is also particularly important

Freda are you really Judith Chalmers , could explain a lot i suppose .

I forgot.

I didn't take the bike off the back of the car.

However, it seemed to enjoy the drive.

Is she saying lips or hips?

I wonder how many declarations are going to come back and haunt her?

That must be hard for you Freda to sit on a bike all that time , means you can't talk out of your @rse , ouch .

Mission Impossible!

Repeal of fixed term Parliament Act Bill in the Lords

http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2016-17/fixedtermparliamentsrepeal.html

Since when can the non-elected noses in the trough repeal an act approved by both houses? The Commons makes law and breaks law. The fixed term act may have been a stupid sop to Clegg but repeal has to be initiated by going through the committee stage again and not by an ancient naturalized Indian. Or that is my understanding.

Returning to roots.

It will go to Commons. Will frighten Labour

Timetable of Bill

Sounds like a good idea from May's point of view...no opposition worth talking about.

Not sure she will call election. It just gives her the option. Labour are broke and in a mess so they will be scared.

Hays,

Grow up.

One of the problems with politics is that it becoming a superficial game.

The problem is that political stunts have consequences.

Why is it proposed by a labour "Lord"?.

Private member Bill

I know that Hays but what sense does it make for a labour peer to propose such a bill at this time? As you state, it will frighten labour if it ever gets out of the Upper House. Maybe a sign of the mess Labour is in.

Many in Labour want a GE soon for Corbyn to lose and have to resign. It may be in connection with that. However, Lord Desai is a Marxist economist and supporter of Corbyn. Will only pass if May wants it To
