You just bump start them, there's nothing to break from the outside, you just lift the back wheel and start moving, then drop the wheel and it'll keep going, but with an alarm and a clacking.

Yeah there is, they can be bump started really easily, you literally just lift the rear wheel then start moving forward, then put the wheel back down and jump on, I've seen kids do it, it takes zero skill. In the meadows these days I hear a lime alarm pretty much every day.

This is a problem that's already been solved, check out bicing in Barcelona and how that works. This really is a problem of legislation.

Fully agree, I also have safety concerns (if they hit you, you're going underneath, not over the top) and driver competency concerns (i'd probably have more vehicle categories for testing, I find it ridiculous that someone learns in a nissan Micra and then goes out and buys a land rover and that's just fine, the vehicle is much larger, the amount of vans that have hit my fence because they can't turn around easily in my cul-de-sac is getting ridiculous, I'd also like to shout out the fucking moron who bumped his suv onto the cycle path the other day without looking causing me to have to break really hard because I nearly ran into the thing, he wasn't a good enough driver to turn it around on the road, I did shout at him he should think about getting a smaller car that he can actually handle)

I tend to look for like a "first hour playthrough" type videos and just skip to some gameplay.

It just sucks that at some point I'm going to buy a less fair phone because the fair ones don't have the features I need.

I don't like the idea of MPs having private meetings with corpos at all. Unless it's discussion of something that would be a national security issue, I don't see why any meetings shouldn't all be on public record

Playing the original multiplayer was loads of fun! I hope this one is as good

If you see someone stealing food, no, you didn't.

I really think there should be some sort of disincentive to purchasing vehicles this large, increased taxes, insurance premiums, extra testing and licenses etc.

The main problem really is their height, if you get hit by a regular car, you're usually flung over the top, if your hit by one of these, due to the height of the bonnet you're probably going underneath it, which is going to be worse in the majority of cases.

I could understand owning one if you've got a big family and loads of dogs and work on a farm, or even if you're just a big fan of of off-roading, but if your massive 4x4 thing is clean and usually has less than 6 seats filled, you probably don't need one.

As a cyclist I have an extra grudge against them because they're so wide they never leave enough space when passing, more than once my bike has been forced into a pothole because I didn't have space to go around it. That and most drivers just fucking suck, I had a guy drive straight up onto the cycle path in front of me the other day because the road wasn't wide enough for him to do a 3 point turn, but he didn't look and nearly I nearly smashed right into him.

I shouldn't have to dodge 4x4s on the fucking cycle path. I'm still a little angry about that. While I'm having a moan, put your dog on a fucking lead, I've almost hit 2 dogs in the past month, one when a dog ran out into the road, and one where they ran out into the middle of the cycle path, both times because there weren't on a lead and their owners were paying no attention. It's really not my problem that you chose to have a dog nowhere near a park, the cycle path is not a fucking dog park.

The problem with Amazon is they will list and deliver any product under the sun, the organisation as a whole should have been forced to split by the Competition and Markets Authority years ago, but it wasn't and now they basically have a monopoly on online sales. So it depends on what you're after. Groceries? Try a supermarket like Tesco. Books? Try Waterstones. Electronics? Currys (awful though). Weird cables and adapters? Maplins still have a website.
