Autos > Motorcycles & Scooters How to spot an ex-race motorcycle when buying
1 of 1

Maybe you're thinking of buying a new bike, or even a first bike (lucky you!), but you'll want to steer way clear of an ex-race/track bike. Firstly in the advertisement it may say, 'ex-race/track bike', if this is the case, walk away. These bikes may be cheaper, but there's a reason; They've probably been thrashed within inc... More..

Autos > Motorcycles & Scooters Motorcyclists should always wear helmetsSmallicon

Of course a motorcyclist should always wear a helmet! Saying they shouldn't is plain ignorance and the person obviously has no experience of crashes involving their head. A 'lid' as it is more commonly known isn't predominantly intended to look cool and to be quite honest I couldn't care less if people think I don't look 'co... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Death Penalty The case against the death penalty
38 of 55

Having read and heard numerous cases of 'how the death penalty should be re-enforced' I've decided to have my say.

When a person commits murder, they do so because in their eyes, they have ... More..

But as the cost of cars has dropped, and money is available to more people, car manufacturing has dropped in standards and vehicles are built for the single solitary reason... More..

Are England not good enough, or are there genuine reasons for their lack of success? Time after time, excuses have been made for exits from competitions and failure to win against lesser teams; bad refereeing, bad management, but the truth is, the team has never quite made the grade. And now, Steve McLaren. After, Saturday's... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Soccer As a footballing nation, why are England so unpopular
7 of 7

But why is it? I have a few theories, but surely these don't account for the hatred received by English soccer. First up, the hooligans. I understand how English 'fans' must look when they go abroad, like yobs basically. I'm sure you've all seen the footage of fighting, destruction and general intimidation handed out by Engl...

2 of 2

It's hosted it's first game, been on show for the whole world to see, it's been on a pedestal to be knocked down. Whilst it's first game was 'only' an Under 21 international the sheer occasion brought in a record total of 60,000 people. The game did not disappoint a 3-3 hard fought draw did the teams proud and gave the stadi... More..

Sports & Recreation > Soccer (Other) The protective capabilities of football boots
2 of 2

Much has been made of just how protective the modern day football boot is following yet another metatarsal injury for Manchester United and England starlet, Wayne Rooney. What has urged me to write this article is the narrow-minded in-experienced people who have commented on Rooney's injury. People who sit at desks all day a... More..
