Is it in memory of Gordon? Has he died?

You forgot 6) Anyone who owns a house in the northern half of England likely to suffer earthquakes and subsidence as the fracking turns the underlying rock into an unstable slippery mush.

We'll be expected to knock up a dodgy dossier? The guy who authors it will be found dead?

No. There's basic physics. I'm agreeing with you that "climate" changes constantly without human input, and that the nature of change is hard to predict.

But as I said above, the behaviour of...

Let's take this back to first principles:

1. Does anyone deny that the composition of the atmosphere is changing, at an increasing rate? (If you do, take a trip to Beijing and then tell me again.)...

OK - Setting aside the possibility that he is criminally insane, just why has Kim Wrong-un recently veered more and more towards confrontation?

When he came to power there was speculation in the...

I still favour the brick and string method. Get a brick that already has holes in it. The mechanism is reliable since gravity seldom fails, and it's less likely to be nicked by pikeys since there's...

Interesting stuff - I hadn't realised the stats weren't comparable.

Surely we are taking a capability holiday at the moment. Though I do wonder how the Americans will view it when Dave turns up with a note from his mum to say he's excused rough games for ten years on...

I'll take the risk of the Argentinians having god, or at least his current sock puppet on their side. Following the recent referendum, we, and the kelpers, have a wonderful mandate to take any...

Bravo and RIP L/Cpl Ashworth, and condolences to his family. My feeling is that too few VC's have been awarded in recent conflicts.

But don't try to tell me plate tectonics and radioisotope dating are a conspiracy too now? Are earthquakes really...

Excognito I can see your faith in the conspiracy theory is limitless. Even if it was possible to fake the landing well enough to fool the Soviets and their listening stations (did covert teams go in...

Terrestrial rocks - especialy basaltic ocean crust are regularly recycled by plate tectonics - which mixes it up and is why all terrestrial basalts are younger.

Whereabouts in Llandudno is...

So, Excognito - NASA managed to inject a faked voice, video and telemetry signal on 3 wavebands and feed it into the receivers at Jodrell, and Areceibo. and Parkes, and Goldstone, and Manchester...

I like your df spoofing idea Puttees, - Jodrell bank would have tracked the expected position of the moon to get the optimal signal, but well equipped amateur radio types, including the boys from a...

You might note, Excognito, that the Maria, including Mare Tranquillatis, where Apollo 11 landed, appear dark from the earth because they turn out to be made of basaltic rocks, which have no big shiny...

"Using radioactive age dating, the ages of rocks returned from the Moon were found to be:



Mare Basalt: - 3.1 to 3.8 billion years old

Highland Breccia: - 3.8 to 4.0 billion years old
...

"The lunar maria represent ancient flood basaltic eruptions. In comparison to terrestrial lavas, these contain higher iron abundances, have low viscosities, and some contain highly elevated...

Moon rocks are different. Ask a qualified igneous petrologist.

No you can't. If you have a directional antenna - and Jodrell Bank is about as good a directional antenna as you can get - you know the bearing - in this case in azimuth and declination - of the...

Bugger me, that was quick.

Hang on, let me just clarify that remark, there are Catholic clergy involved.

I meant "Goodness, what a speedy decision."

It's great how the less people know about the Apollo programme, the more likely they are to believe it was faked. Yeah, the risks of landing were enormous but you know what - they took risks. Years...

LOL - It could be both a museum piece of '40's engineering (rather cheaper to fly than a Vulcan) AND the nearest thing we own to a maritime reconnaissance capability, at one and the same time.

The problem was cracked half a century ago, to allow nuclear stations that are good at baseload to meet peak demand - it's pumped storage hydro, as seen in Wales and Scotland - You just need to...

Renewables actually contributed 9.4% of our electricity in 2011, and the percentage is rising fast.

Renewables definitely aren't a complete solution - we definitely could do a lot more to reduce...

BBC News - 'Bionic legs' for military amputees

Makes a nice change for the government to use its slush fund (sorry, Reserve) for something that is morally justified. Is there an election coming?

You ought to wonder why a pet food corporation would spend money paying a lab to conduct expensive experiments that they will never be able to publicise? So then you wonder whether some one with a...

Rape is an extremely serious crime, that shouldn't be joked about. Somebody who rapes a random stranger is the lowest of the low. Which is why falsely accusing someone of rape should also be treated...

Yep - Renaults have a similar set up - On my 04 Megane, if you leave them turned off, they'll automatically go to dipped heads if it gets dark and the engine is on, unless you go through a menu to...

BBC News - Theresa May to give judges new deportation guidance

Dispute between Ms May and judges over deporting foreign crims. (Mods feel free if there's already a thread but I couldn't find one)...

Yep, this is def one job grade too low for teflon tony. I reckon our very own Lizzie Windsor should apply - she already has "Head of State" and "Head of World Religion" on her CV so I reckon nobody...

You are sick. Ingenious, amusing, but definitely sick.

Should fit in well. We've always had wankas at the Department of/for/with Education in the UK

As well known left wing liberal, I'd just like to say

PURE POETIC JUSTICE.

Chalk one up to Darwin. Christ, for a minute I thought it said they'd set fire to ALDI! Think of the poor horses.

I believe the usual quote from the NRA in such circumstances is "Guns don't kill people, people do", yet once again it seems to me that the more guns there are around, the more good guys get killed....

So "I was just following the satnav" won't get the Captain off his court martial then? Bad as that woman in Belgium.

Oh no - please don't tell me Cap'n Birdseye was a Walt too????

Stealth Walt?

Do they have a removable insole? I've had a problem with some squeaky boots which turned out to be insole shifting against the bottom of the boot - solved it with evo-stik.
