Turkey will not be joining. There's one fact.

Absolutely, I agree with you. You'd like to think that modern professional playing at the highest level would have this drilled into them instinctively. If you get a chance to see their first goal watch Forster and see how he stands there appealing that Costa has taken the ball over the lines stead of concentrating on the game. Fabregas's cross catches him on the hop.

As I have sad many, many times, it is not Total Solar Irradiance that should be considered. The problem with the science is that there is none concerning the high-energy behaviour of the sun. Jasper Kirkby is still getting funding at CERN but the sun is not an easy subject since it tends to do whatever it wants. Where there is no science let's just ignore the biggest factor in the whole interrelated system, shall we? How do you explain the Little Ice Age during the Maunder Minimum? There are a lot of changes going on at the moment but the current science does not encompass the complete picture. Your view on any theories will depend on which of the climate religions you happen to be worshipping at the time. https://nextgrandminimum.wordpress.com/2016/01/30/cosmic-rays-in-earths-atmosphere-are-intensifying/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulhudson/entries/6d50a6bd-779a-32d6-bfca-06e4484d6835 http://www.livescience.com/51597-maunder-minimum-mini-ice-age.html

It can sometimes happen if you sit awkwardly.

Pilots get special dispensation.

Then why does he continue to stand for election?

It was very quick but it looked to me like a secondary kick-out at Cedric and not part of the so-called tackle.

Doesn't that sort of go with the definition of 'come off'? As in, if they don't create a chance then they haven't come off.

Not necessarily. If there's a business case for it then it's very sensible. If you followed your argument then a 10,000 seat stadium would be ample. How do you think Old Trafford ended up the size that it is?

Derby v Forest has always been a derby though. Is that because one of the teams is called Derby? Also Sunderland v Newcastle, Norwich v Ipswich and many others `I can't be bothered to list.

Ah but do they lag or do they lead? The problem with the science is that it is incomplete. At present it takes no account of the effects of the activity of the sun, and I'm not talking about total solar output but the effects of high-energy particles on the Earth's atmosphere. https://nextgrandminimum.wordpress.com/category/cosmic-rays/

My pleasure! But please refer to the points made above by others about roadworks. Best not to leave it too late, I'd say. The trouble with that is the evening rush-hours traffic on the A31.

And what does that make Farage? Wouldn't an OUT vote lead to him losing his job?

I use 'linesman' (gender unspecific) when I know perfectly well that FIFA want us to call them assistant referees. It's a bit of a gobful though and a pain in the wrist to type, especially on a tablet.

Celsius since 1948, actually. When scientists and engineers today refer to °C they are referring to Celsius. The Met Office, like all the British Civil Service, take a long time to catch up with the modern world. I thought my reference to a retrograde scale was a light-hearted contribution. I never imagined that anyone might be confused by it

Nothing has changed my initial impression of him that he is more of a Championship player than Premier League. I had hoped that we could have coached some improvement into him but alas not.

Atkinson was too busy concentrating on whether it was handball or not to think about awarding a straightforward foul. This can happen when there is so much else going on in the game that his mind can be overloaded.

Such confusion was one reason for renaming it after its creator, Anders Celsius. The freezing and boiling points are not used in the definition which refers to Absolute Zero and the triple point of water (actually VSMOW) and ties the Celsius scale to the Kelvin.

That was the real reason.

No I haven't, to be honest.

I was told that Riverside Park was land reclaimed using bomb rubble from the Blitz. All I know is that whenever I played there and went to ground the stones just under the surface would take the skin off my knees.

But would that stop the next ice age?

Whenever I've gone there for an evening game I usually go down the A338 just past the ground and take the next exit onto the A3089 turning to the right (north) away from the ground. There are plenty of residential streets there such as Egerton Road. Depending on how early you are you can park reasonably close but even from somewhere like Shaftesbury Road it's only about 15 minutes to walk. There is a pedestrian underpass under the A338. Make a good note of where you park because it can get confusing later. It's a quick exit back onto the A338 and home. I normally get home quicker than I do from St Mary's.

Centigrade has 100° for freezing and 0° for boiling water. On that basis the world has been getting cooler

I know, I don't think it was offered in a serious way. Having said that, should the Met Office be getting involved in the controversy?
