And meanwhile until the sleaze dies down. The Brexit trade position takes a turn for the worse. Of course our right-wing media are trying to put the best gloss on it as they can. Headline GDP has risen 0.4% all clap your hands. but GDP is a useless measurement eg. if people returned to work on half ...

Joseph Priestley, and Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier got a lot nearer to the truth with their experiments. It should all be in the book that you have offered to loan to me. No rush with it I've just picked up two more from the Library. PS, Libraries are now open on a limited access basis. Very well co...

Will Brenda down size from Windsor Castle? Of course its the Royal residence owned by the Royal family that is until it burnt down then suddenly it became a public liability. Don't wish Brenda any harm but when she goes that should be it and end of all this Royalty nonsense.

Greensill did get one contract under the emergency measures, no competing tendering, but it had nothing to to with Covid supplies so why emergency measure and not the normal procedure? Something odd going on with Brexit and its affect on the UK economy. Almost daily we see charts on the Covid virus ...

So with more oxygen in the air will people and animals all become bigger like the prehistoric animals or will we automatically expire in spontaneous combustion and leave this mortal coil with a bang.

Even if you get through it and it does get more boring towards the end there is always a feeling he is missing a lot out and not giving the full story about what GCHQ is up to in the world.

Looks broad gauge so I'll guess at Isambard Brunel and the tunnel to Bristol. Memory is failing with old age.

Lined up for my first indoor swim at lunch time. Don't Know how I'll manage with this mop on my head. At least the chlorine will bleach the roots to match the rest of it. The Gods were against me for garage painting. Managed to wash the paneling down with warm soapy water to get the green algae off ...

I think we worry too much, the western energy has been an excess of CO2 over natural levels, mature trees balance 0 and C02 over a year. Plant hedges. Yes humans have been producing too much carbon dioxide but trees only retain a balance within themselves. CO2 in, C captured and O output until it d...

If anyone invades your body, procedure, operation, drugs or even Sunday newspaper stuff, they need your agreement to do so. If the outcome goes wrong then litigation may be in order to prove neglect. I don't think you have totally waved all your rights but it could be very expensive to prove otherwi...

Pity he didn't think that when he had Greensill acting as his unpaid un-appointed private adviser. The next question is how far back did these backroom deal go. Nod nod, wink wink. Did Greensill spot that Cameron having made a balls of Brexit was ripe for picking?

Its nice to know that 'Smoke filled rooms' is still alive and kicking. A smoke-filled room (sometimes called a smoke-filled back room) is a secret political gathering or round-table-style decision-making process. The phrase is generally used to suggest an inner circle of power brokers, as at a conve...

How about this for an unintended consequence of electric cars. Obviously we will burn less fossil fuel and therefore less carbon dioxide. Since we are not combining the Carbon with oxygen C+(O2) therefore a surplus of oxygen. Dangerous stuff is oxygen sets things on fire and makes things oxydise.

Just to remind you where in the pecking order you stand. We now know that democracy stands behind Royalty. I always wondered what Brexit was about and now I know.

The general consensus of those who follow these things seems to be that he is 7/8th Danish, 1/8th, German, 0 Greek.

it would not be the first time that 'Royal' deaths appear to have been optimised to give the best media cover. Not available for ordinary mortals but very convenient to die at home.

I see two different problems here. 1) People who are massively overweight may be putting their health at risk. A small number of these will go through life as normal but the majority will suffer some of the illnesses that being overweight brings. How to make these people realise they may be heading ...

Nearly all Stanley's mystery instruments appear to be on the painful side. It would surprise me if they weren't involved with castrating sheep.

We even have Make America Great Again. MAGA . being Trump's password.

Quote.. The National Rifle Association (NRA), the biggest gun rights lobby group in the US, described the measures as "extreme" and said it was ready to fight. I have read that the NRA is under investigation for misuse of members funds for private use. Something a not for profit organisation should ...

Many photos have been thrown, such as ones of ex students, college events, work colleagues, With plenty of covid time on my hands I've looked through a number of the local Facebook sites (Burnley Barlick etc) nearly all of them are desperate for more local information, events, people, places. Usual...

Yes we've been to Singapore and its clean but so is Canada. America is not bad in places and dare I say it so is most of rural England. A friend on his first visit to Colne from the Newcastle area commented on how clean the town was. All this comparison business is quite in order but with the covid ...

How many young people will actually try to calculate the risk factor and then make a valued judgement? Its the grey tops who are hanging on until the fat lady sings that would go down this road. The rest would simply follow the last tabloid headlines and get Vaxit done. The vaccine passport debate r...

“ I’ve always thought you lacked forethought and proper planning...” said Pooh, shaking his head. “Best leave the brainwork to me”. I like that. When / if the covid becomes less of the blanket covering headlines then Brexit will be shown to be the really big problem. So far there hasn't been one fa...
