  • A vehicle tax applied to everything, based on weight, once we have switched to a majority of EVs.

    Heck I would happily pay for my bikes, apply it evenly between everything, and I will pay £1 per kilo a year. Less than £40 for my bikes, but not sure many car drivers are going to be happy paying £1500 - £3000+.

    Sill, a good way to get the infrastructure fixed, and maybe more people onto public transport or bikes



  • I am going to throw my thoughts in. Spiderman is as good as Arkham City, and I think it depends on which super hero you prefer.

    From a game standpoint, they are very close to each other, I think batman has slightly better stealth, but Spiderman has better traversal. Combat is good enough in both to give you enough room to be expressive if you want, and the open world fluff is mostly not insulting (maybe not those riddler trophies though).

    Both are good 8/10 games.

    But everything thing I have seen about Wolverine is at best fine, and then you just have the Devs insulting the players and their intelligence.

    I am surprised wolverine is getting scores as high as it is, but from a glance and an outside point of view, I am offering a 4 or 5/10.

    And one last note, Arkham Asylum is better than City, the more intricate level design is better than an open world.

    I don’t think free to play would have made any real difference to Concord (highguard says hi).

    At the time of announcement, I was in a discord call, and I would say 9 or 10 people were interested at the cinematic trailer, when they had missed it being a multiplayer game, and they assumed it was a action RPG/ space opera.

    Everyone who had any inclination of excitement, lost it immediately at the gameplay trailer.

    They honestly didn’t care for another multiplayer game, especially with Marvel Rivals having been played and looking better around then as well.


  • I think I am biased as I don’t have a ps5, and Sony is definitely on a crusade at the moment. But I really like Spiderman and Miles Morales, and enjoy Spiderman 2 albeit not as much.

    However, Wolverine just never stood out from what I had seen briefly, then I saw the sentinel fight. That looked beyond shit, like gameplay had regressed 20 years or more.

    I think that was the point I expected it to be bad, even if it is not completely terrible on the combat side.

    For me, it is a lot of the same as others have listed.

    For my shorter rides, I have;

    • 2 tpu tubes
    • Patch kit(pre glued)
    • tyre boots(park tool patches)
    • Multi tool (Daysaver)
    • chain breaker
    • tyre levers
    • power link

    I also have a pump attached to the frame.

    On a long ride, I will add a café lock and a mech hanger at least, usually I throw in a 3rd tpu tube to my top tube bag.

    I used to swear on co2 right up until I got a series of punctures, and not enough co2s. I now just take them in the winter alongside the pump. Just so I can reduce standing around in the wet. And if you’re taking 3 or 4 co2s, probably weighs close to a normal small pump at that point, but takes more space.
