hissingsid Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 How many motorbikes ? I think there were about 11,000 fans over the last time we had the T.T. accompanied by thousands of motor bikes. The underlining is not deliberate 🤫 god knows what I have pressed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these motorbikes exist anyway, the TT makes no difference to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be more environmentally friendly it should be extended not banned. Nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we're not we're discussing climate change which is a global thing. Although motorbikes are an environmentally friendly form of transport wherever they are.

hissingsid Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Putin is not attending and the Queen is not a certainty I don’t think China is either. Sleepy Joe, not our one, will forget he has met Daphne five minutes after having the pleasure…so I think it will be underwhelming to say the least 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've accidentally pressed the U symbol on the top line of the reply box before you started typing. You can tell because there should be a grey background to the U. To get rid of the underlining you need to highlight the text you want to un-underline and then click the U to remove the dark background and the line. (You do this sometime with italics I as well).

thommo2010 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 The Scottish government bought a load of electric vehicles at a cost of millions but didn't actually gave the power points to charge them so now need to use generators to power them. Another virtue signalling event so the people in their ivory towers can tell us little people what we should be doing. It's the people of Glasgow I feel for the place is going to be carnage as mo doubt the climate protestors will be out in force 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danoo Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 They will come back with an intention to reduce the amount of meat we eat, which is already being talked about in those circles. Which is nonsense. How is that going to affect the local farming industry, many of whom have the politicians in their back pockets. If the island tries to adopt any of the bonkers policies that come out of these type of virtue signalling events it is screwed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happier diner Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 3 hours ago, Max Power said: If I'm understanding it properly, they are extracting the hydrogen from water to manufacture the fuel using wind generated electricity? It will probably be expensive and would limit the use of applicable vehicles to sport and leisure only. Generating hydrogen from water by electrolysis is well established. However it is outrageously inefficient. You have to put about 90% energy in to get 10% out. Or something like that. I thought I would be on trend and underline it😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Queen is due to open the event We can hope IOMG representation will flush out who in CanCom is actually taking political responsibility for climate change response Perhaps it will be KLB & Mrs Barber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
