So, name one decent Anthony Hopkins performance…

The Remains of the Day

Nice bit of kit. Here’s some muppet mechanics taking someone’s Ferrari out for a joy ride…..they didn’t know about the camera.

top tip ta!

The frame isn’t registered to the seller.
I’ve changed my mind…..dodgy !

Well to settle it how about I ask the buyer whether the frame guarantee is registered in his name, and can he give me the frame number so I can phone yeti and verify he is the original owner?

find another generator accident that killed that many people

Banqiao Dam Inital death toll 26,000. Subsequent deaths from famine and disease 146,000.

FWIW – I am not pro nuclear.

Are they not in Cumbria? Isn’t that a clue to the real cause?

No, Scotland.

That 8/100 workers exposed will develop cancer is very bad

Yes it is, but that’s if they are right at the source for an hour. Apply the inverse square law and this figure falls dramatically.

Stand 10 metres away and its 8/10 000
Stand 100 metres away and its 8/1 000 000
Stand 1km away and its 8/100 000 000

So yes, I agree, the risk is primarily to the workers. As I said earlier in the thread, hats off to them (or it might have been a similar thread). It’s not a particularly enviable task.

Awsome !

You could try getting a tattoo…

TJ quotes the BBC article

radioactivity in water at reactor 2 at the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant is 10 million times the usual level.

…10 million times sounds pretty scary. But what does it actually equate to…?
Well its about 1 seivert/hour.
Current estimates are 0.08 fatal cancers per seivert dose. So if you stood all the Fukushima 50 in the water for an hour then its likely 4 of them will eventually develop terminal cancer.

Should it not be radioactive caesium you should be worrying about? Radioactive Iodine decays pretty quick, so if most of the population are evacuated its not going to have a long term impact (assuming it hasn’t spread far). On the other hand the ceasium isotope hangs about for decades. There are still UK sheep farms that cannot sell their stocks due to high levels of Cs from Chernobyl.

Catherine Zeta Jones – rubbish in everything except Intolerable Cruelty.

You can’t cook much in their ovens you see.

I don’t like the idea of someone thrusting their awesomeness on me.

Looks fine to me. Plenty of high value items with +ve feedback. OK he has an expensive bike but doesn’t know much about bike kit, that’s nothing unusual.

….and may bop you on the noggin for £1400

If you’re worried then pay him with paypal.

They’re fatter, ergo they’re heavier, ergo they go faster downhill 😉

Ben Kingsley

From Ghandi to Don Logan.

Has anyone tried any of the Bladnoch whiskys?

Its an OK dram. Probably at the opposite end of the spectrum from Ardbeg though. Used to be one of the key malts in Bells.

…..what’s on the BBQ ?

wut you talkin bout, Willis?

….pish apparently

I call them butties, but if I didn’t I’d I’ld agree with you.

Wouldn’t it be “…either ‘is’ acceptable…”?

Good spot! It should have been “both are”.

Cougar – I think either are acceptable.

Incorrect use s of the English language

That’s better.

Been really lovely up here, shame its not going to last. What CaptM said a bout the waterlevel in the burns, might be worth checking out the level in the Tilt before you head up.

Nah Sorry…..

Bassspine – My mates a pirate, he thought your joke was a load of arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgghhse

Look again – he only switches his indicator on as I reach him.

You’re quite right, sorry I mistook the brake lights for an indicator. Carry on 😀

😀
Undertaking a white van signalling left at a roundabout……are you mad ?
😀

Mine’s a bottle of Ossian Ale thanks.
Want me to sell it for u ?

Worthless DezB I’m afraid……might as well bin them 😉

Especially that Love Buzz 7 inch

I had tickets for his gig here in the UK

Still got them? They’re probably worth more than the vinyl !

Silver

Bleach Vinyl

I passed on seeing them at the QM Union in Glasgow in 1991, went to see some nobodies at King Tut’s…….oooops 😀

Yeah, “early Nirvana”. Pre-Teen Spirit and mass fame, obviously.

….err ok so anything from Bleach.

it could be worth £0 if prices crash (Ireland)or it falls down (Japan).

Indeed it could, but I’ll take my chances thanks.

So Wayne and Waynetta living on 100% sate benefits but no HP widescreen TV’s are sitting pretty on this international scale.

Not sure if it’s fair to rule out the mortgage asssets. Someone repaying a modest mortgage will in the end have a capital asset on their balance sheet. Where as Ireland…..well it will just have paid off a debt.

More than Prince Charles but less than Ireland.

What’s yours tnas ? You can’t expect people to answer a question like this without being open about it yourself.

Paper bicycle[/url]…..after all that £2 billion “savings” is being paid for by the “Scottish” North Sea Oil so buying Scottish is the least you could do 😉
