Haven’t seen any yet, but it’s bloody freezing so keep popping in and out.

Theres yer problem, you need a few mins in the dark to get yer night vision in, if you keep going inside you’ll never get to full cat mode.

I get a steroid injection in my arthritic ankle once every 2 years, works a treat. I love science me.

Persieds in August for the softies..
Just got back from taking the kids to haldon to see them, gemini rose in the ne/east about 8 ish, we got there at 9pm and in 10 mins saw about 30.

The moon rises at 1123 tonight, I reckon its better to get out before the moon..

Will do the same tomorrow night give or take a few mins, but the weather is not so great. Was clear as a bell tonight.

of many typo’s the worst is #septicemia

I’ve just added my pics to that thread. We got away with her life, just.

My youngest has eczema, and we learned after the fact that there is an interaction with chicken pox.
She was 19 months old when the pox came to our house .Whilst the the eldest had 20 odd pustules, the youngest got it a week later and ended up like this. I counted about 2000 nasties and wasnt even half way.

She got septacmia and came within an hr or so of dying, she was on a drip for a day or so before she started to make her way back.
The hospital Dr’s were incredulous that we had not been offered the vaccine as soon as she had been diagnosed with eczema. I asked my doc and said they don’t offer vaccines as thy had too many complaints form fools who don’t want vaccines. I asked him there and then what else we could have, happy to pay, lets just get it done.

I’m not gonna defend the bellend but according to wikipedia thats not true

yea but wasn’t that perpetuated by dodgy Dr’s who went to prison for it? That’s not an issue with science or vaccines is it, its an issue with arseholes.

molgrips, parents could make an informed decision, i.e. if they new about the relevant research and it’s methods.
What gets my boil pissing is people questioning the efficacy of vaccines when they have not bothered to find out how the vaccine was developed or researched or peer reviewed (ie they don’t understand the scientific method) .
I love this thread.
In answer to dbcooper, I would like to see a root and branch reform of education including all kids to learn more about science and its role in society/health.
(along with understanding finance/banking/the press etc)

@dbcooper brah do you even science? you can’t prove something does’t have an effect

in her defence, brah do you even read?
She said

Um no, the science would not reccomend to take the vaccine if there was nio way to prove it

IE if there was no effect, then it would not recommend it? The statement does not require anything to be disproved, it rely’s on proving it. Sounds like the scientific method to me?
Personally I like her tone.

Used to ride small 2004 SC Bullit, that was a good fit too.

He’s the wrong person for the job IMHO. And is likely to do as much harm as good by devaluing the subject matter.

I feel this exactly.

Cheesybeanz, if you read the OP he states that the only one left open is the one in the kitchen..

Yes, turn another one on, be aware of the risk that unless you lock another one open then someone else might turn it off and then you could cause an issue. I do not think you should take squirrel kings advice about plumbing in a bypass. I may be wrong but as I understand it the need for an always open rad is to allow the boiler to cool itself when it is making (or has made) hot water. If you plumb in a bypass then this might not provide enough cooling for the boiler.

A pack of forwards who totally dominate and a bunch of backs who couldn’t score in a brothel.

True, we kicked and chased better this week but it’s not the dawn of a new era…….

Indeed, we won because of the failure of the Wallabies forwards, and our usual excellent defence. Our backs didn’t get any ball to go forward with.

Not cheap but excellent spank bearclaw.

tbh I always thought this was the lucky draw for wales. If they are going to raise their game it will be against us. Then they might get a head of steam and go and do it.

Good news for England fans everywhere, Farrell has been benched in favour of Ford & 36. I have long waited for this day. (Well it would be better if he had been sent home but it is a start.)

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/nov/24/owen-farrell-dropped-england-billy-twelvetrees-george-ford-rugby

If wales are picking from a fully fit squad they will really scare england who as these autumn tests show have a very over optimistic support/press who put the team under pressure.

It was ever thus. Wales always do this looking shite in the autumn just so they can come back with vim and vigour in spring. I reckon Gatland does it on purpose..
Lancaster could earn a thing or two from him.

AA, your list sucks, it needs Kieran Read and Richie McCaw for a start. You can keep Kaino and Whitelock in.

Sounds like Tindallball to me. Not going to bother watching it.

Well that performance was teh awsemoe.

Clucking bell! Come on Scotland.

This is a great position for the Scots, [fantasymode]I hope they can maintain this.[/fantasymode]

I didn’t see the England game, had to go to my 5 year olds birthday party, sounds like it was good news I missed it. someone tell me, was it just Tindallball as usual?

Whilst it’s always nice to hear about someone who gets a raise without having to force the issue,but my personal experience is that it won’t happen unless you have another job to go to, and even then it’s not a given.

This post is timely as I have 2 job offers on the table both on much better money. One of which expires today, Wednesday. A third interview is inbound, and I am waiting for a response from my employer, whom I asked for a raise 7 weeks ago. I’m supposed to getting a decision today. Resignation letter is in my pocket ready to go..

Verbal Dexterity? What a self regarding ****. He cannot stop sucking his own plums, he isn’t dexterous, he is just very flexible.

If the AB had punched it would have been ok (maybe not in the rules, but tolerable),but deliberate use of the studs is a bad thing isn’t it? Im not going to defend Hartley in general, but all he did was grab a shirt and give a little shove. I thought retaliation was supposed to be worst than the initial offence too?

Call me captain negative but I think my England game prediction was spot on, it was TindallBall all over again. Doom.

PS don’t diss the ref, he is excellent, it is impossible to be perfect, but he kept the game flowing. Most importantly it is distinctly un-rugby to diss the ref. His decision is final, that is part of the game. I thought he was on the All Blacks case with their marginal cheating gameplan, ok so lots of their silly stuff slipped through, but I think thats a wider issue than just being Owens fault/responsibility.

In my experience it pays to have low expectations of England

Yeah or that fact that we are shite..
I predict (somewhat predictably as I moan about this every time england play) that we will resort to Tindall-Ball.
Here the first receiver gives the ball to a trundlemuppet who charges into a wall of All Black and goes to ground despite having umpteen fast movers outside him, who can actually catch. No attempt or consideration of offload will be made, because in true Royal Mike style the fantasy of breaking 7 tackles and heading for the line in solo medal winning effort is way more powerful than the reality that rugby is normally won by creativity and fast ball movement. Especially as the Queen or David Beckham may be in the crowd.
This is about selfish glory hunting and pretty much the opposite of teamwork that we see from the Kiwis.
After going to ground 13 of the men in white will be drawn in to a man mess, the kiwis will commit a couple of defenders. Then we will either give away a penalty for holding on/off feet/offside or they will turn it over and score a try by passing the ball 6 times in as many seconds.
Repeat ad nauseam.
The English way of making the defeat look smaller is to limit the number of tries the All Blacks get by making sure the ball spends 50% of the game buried under a mountain of quivering englishmen.

Bahh, even my one eyed optimism is in decline here. AB’s by 20 at least.
I’m feeling miserable already.

I love the internet, just when you think the winkers are in control along comes somebody clever and boots them in the arse. Brand is a self serving, egomaniac, dickhead and deserves all the pisstaking we can hand out.

Is this like stantons version of the BFe? Looks good.

You have my sympathy, effen trades constantly muck you around, from manufacturers to workers I am seldom impressed buy the end results.
I am not a Lawyer, but I suggest you get one.
Then after talking to lawyer I would imagine he will recommend getting a building surveyor or similar, they can inspect and make a report. Which if it shows error on the manufacturers part you can then ask your lawyer to stick up the aforementioned manufacturers proverbial. Then pay someone else to put it right. If there is anything left after surveyor, lawyer and rectification then pay that to the original company. Possibly you may end up a little out of pocket, in which case sue the original company for your loss.

Women go through incredibly powerful emotions that they cannot control

I meant this to mean during and after pregnancy. Oxytocin is a starting point here..

I’ve been watching this with interest, I had the same thing, you have my sympathy and empathy. In the end I capitulated and I do not regret it. I regretted it at the time, and had to swallow my pride big time. My kids are now awesome and my wonderful wife has proven herself right. If I hadn’t capitulated, I fear that we would not still be together.

Women go through incredibly powerful emotions that they cannot control. My advice, trite as it sounds, is to man up and love her through thick and thin. In the end it will be the right thing. I’m not saying you are wrong, morally or whatever, but sometimes for the sake of the situation, there are things you have to accept. (that is my own experience, I won’t judge whatever you do, it worked for me)
