  1. As I argued above, figures like this are meaningless. It's like weighing the available evidence on a pair of scales. I see that your author has been very rigorous in rejecting any arguments agains AGW and does have a book to promote. He even blames the 'gullible public'. We are debating the number of angels on a pinhead.
  2. Oh I don't know, I would have thought 3% a reasonable doubt.
  3. Thanks for that. So I presume the result isn't weighted by population?
  4. Is it still regional at this stage?
  5. The gerbils are to keep the snake fed. No, I can't see the attraction either.
  6. Go to the beach after dark and ask for 'Phil'. He should be there most nights when there isn't a match on.
  7. I've had the Virgin for over a year now and the speeds are much better than the previous ADSL Plusnet. I've just had my front drive relaid with block paving and I've still got to re-bury the Virgin cable. It's actually two cables siamesed together, one about 10mm for the coax and another about 4mm for the telephone. The total length to the green cabinet is over 100 metres. I've got three TiVo boxes hanging off it plus the WAP/modem and it works well. The download speeds are limited by the receiving device rather than their network, the iPhone being the slowest at over 30mbs. I have the full package and my only complaint is the cost, especially now that we've lost ESPN Premier League matches.
  8. Ok thanks. That's not what the Virgin Media fellas told me but what do they know, they're only installers.
  9. It's very hush-hush, nobody talks about it.
  10. Fibre optic only refers to the connections to your exchange. From their to your house it's traditional copper.
  11. Cup game. I didn't tell her it was standing only in the away end and she wasn't too pleased because it ruined her afternoon nap. We made a weekend of it and stayed overnight in a hotel so I don't know what she was complaining about.
  12. My missus had been to plenty and she can't stand football. All away games: Man Utd (twice) Leeds Oldham Nottingham Forest Ipswich Blackburn Norwich Spurs Sheffield Wednesday Sheffield Utd Torquay And others I can't remember. She came for the travel and to see 't north of England. She usually did the crossword.
  13. I should of course add.. Getting promotion and realising that Markus wasn't there to see it.
  14. Joy... So many Three successive wins against Man U Any win against Man U Seeing Markus's face at Wembley Promotion Promotion again Dellhurst Park Seeing my daughter's face every time we scored. Sadness... That interminable season under Poortvliet et. al. The football under Branfoot. Joy/sadness... The last match at the Dell (Arsenal) I forgot amusement... CMFG's goal at Ipswich. Even the maestro himself was laughing at it.
  15. At what time is it all called off?
  16. Might be. Played in South Korea for a bit before ending up at Sheff Weds. http://bornoffside.net/2013/05/whatever-happened-to-southamptons-2003-fa-cup-final-team/
  17. Or Boycott. I can only see one outcome here.
  18. I blame them for everything. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a correlation between the number of McDonald's and the rise in global temperatures.
  19. I'm not saying I don't like it, just that it's meaningless. How many Chinese were involved? There are over 1,359,130,000 of them and they are the ones who would need to be convinced of the need to change.
  20. I'm not completely daft, my house is 120ft above sea level.
  21. There should be a master socket where the phone line enters the house. The ADSL filter plugs straight into that. The telephone extension cable goes into one socket and the modem into the other. They will be marked.
  22. There are plenty of precedents which cannot be explained by human activity, or anything else for that matter.
  23. Sounds like your ADSL filter. It should be the first thing on your phone line where it enters you house.
