If you disagree with WHAT I have done, there is an appeals process.
If you don't think I have the jurisdiction to do what I have done, then you have to go to County Court.
As I have told you several times over the last few weeks, in person, in emails, by letter, on the phone......[you know who you are!]
You need a shed load of bleach and acid to kill you!
Plastering a nice flat accurate wall is very very satisfying 😉
I have watched the following being removed from peoples bottoms;
light bulbs, tow ball covers, cans of deodorant

...you'd think they would put some kind of string on sex toys.
Forested Canadian peatlands are losing resilience to natural disturbance. Disturbance is fundamentally changing ecosystem type from wetland to upland.
End result: Risk/shown increase in monsterous wildfires because of increased fuel loading/lowered water table.
Blame: Changing precipitation patterns.
Aircraft fuel is closer to low grade diesel than most people would think.

To treat Ethylene Glycol (antifreeze) in cats you give them intravenous alcohol. Pissed cats but it saves their kidneys if caught early enough!
I was once sent to a Harley Street clinic by my then employer, to look at a broken PEME machine. I was a mainframe support engineer then and had no experience of any medical equipment other than what my old man used (he was a GP).
The physician at this clinic, (who seemed quite unlike a physician), said the company who had been maintaining these machines had fallen out with her.
I tactfully asked to see any documentation she had as I had no clue about what a PEME machine was and she produced a leaflet. As she opened the draw to get this, I caught a glimpse of the manual for the machine with "FOR EQUESTRIAN USE ONLY" stamped clearly on the front cover! I got a quick look at it when she went out of the room for a bit - lots of pics of how to use it - ON A HORSE! WTF?
I opened up the machine to see if there was anything easy to rectify, like a fuse blown and discovered a PCB laden with coil inductors. Having worked on manufacturing HF circuits years before, I realised that the tiniest bending of these coils could send the high frequency circuits wildly out of tolerance. I called the office and explained that we couldn't do anything without schematics. I was then asked to take it back to the office.
Before I left, a woman brought her small child in for treatment with one of the other machines!? I left feeling really concerned, but this physician was supposedly a friend of the MD of the company I worked for, so I had my hands tied.
When I got the thing back to the office, I explained to the engineering director that there were some serious ethical issues - the machine was not approved for use on humans. Aside from this, as we had no schematics etc, the HF circuits could be well out of spec. As the machine was engineered to radiate electomagnetic energy to warm deep tissues to promote healing, an HF circuit being out of adjustment could potentially be very harmful - bit like putting your hand in a microwave!
He sat back in his chair and looked at me for a few seconds and cajoled me in an arrogant tone "You are worrying about nothing, it's just a little circuit board". I politely told him he'd have to get someone else to go there in future as I was not going to be a part of it. He was an non-technical sales guy by trade - but a ****in arrogant ignoramus! What an oki cokey outfit that was!
We hear much about cowboy builders (an easy target), but who would dare challenge Harley Street physicians? There is a general opinion that Harley Street is where some of the finest medical people in the world reside, so it's a shocker to find some seedy little back street style clinic there, run by unqualified quacks!
You wouldn't catch me blindly phoining one of these clinics. I'd insist on recommendation from a senior health expert who works for the NHS.
Scary stuff!!
We use a drug called protamine to reverse Heparin (a blood thinning drug). Protamine is made from fish sperm.
I have the right to break into your house if you live in Northern Ireland and I think I have reason to do so.
If I discover methane in your property at a level of 1% gas in air, I will ask you, anyone else within your property, your neighbours and anyone else I deem necessary to kindly take yourselves elsewhere. Thats 20% of natural gasses lower limit of combustion, or LEL (lower explosive limit). Above 15% gas in air will not ignite. But I wouldn't fancy proving that one.
Poo, is immensely useful. It's rich in nutrients, gives off a highly flammable gas which can be used to generate heat and electricity, and in the bigger poo processing plants, pretty much all the electricty used to run the plant, comes from the poo it is processing.
There is no standard symbol for cliffs on OS mapping.
Some cartographers managed to sneak their names into their freehand cliff symbols.
Those on the Isle of Wight are the easiest to spot 🙂
Jemima, yep Im Edinburgh based. I work for Aquamarine Power. I dont know you do I?
Probably not - I like to keep a low profile! I'm in Inverness with AWS. I just guessed you might be in Edinburgh. I know a few Aquamarine guys but they're based at QUB I think.
hardcoded variables takisawa? tut tut tut.
It was so I could drag the cell down across a range.
Is this frowned upon then ?
Its working out disc-spring deflection & resultant load.

More like heating oil, Kerosene.
And them whirlybird things aint nic named paraffin budgies for nothin'....
More like heating oil, Kerosene.
In one way, yes. However, you can run a diesel engine on AVTUR but not so easily on heating oil. Also, target audience is more likely to be familiar with diesel than kero. 🙄
The food served in residential Care Homes is often better than that served in the overpriced gastropub down the road.
Peppermint is definitely the nicest flavour of artificial saliva.
Turns out Portland Cement with the poisonous bits removed is one of the most bio-compatible things we can use in endodontics.
