Why has no one been on the moon since 1972?

There's bugger all there of any scientific value or significance. There is no justification spending billions on sending anyone back to collect more rocks/dust, of which we have plenty, or take photos of old space junk left by previous missions just to justify said missions. I happened accept it and move on. ](*,) -
The flag waving was not caused by wind, and is it actually exacerbated by the lack of wind. The flag is mounted on an aluminium pole, with a horizontal aluminium arm across the top to keep the flag ‘flying’ rather than hanging down, as it wound in a vacuum. The waving of the flag is explained by the natural ‘spring’ in the supporting frame (pole & arm). When the astronauts planted the flag (and whenever they walked close to it) this would cause the frame to spring (or wobble), this wobble is transferred to the flag and makes it look like it is waving. The lack of atmosphere means there is no air resistance to stop the flag from flapping, and it would continue to flap until the energy causing the vibration in the pole/arm had naturally dissipated into the moons surface.

The Van something belt It’s the Van Allen belt, and I can’t remember exactly, but it is either a local effect, which they didn’t pass through, or the effect on humans is insignificant when passing through it at speed.

Well pleased with this, I didn't see that one coming. A manager with experience, and also someone I've heard of, unlike most managers in the lower leagues. Just one thing though - is he definately 47, he seems to have been around for years.

To avoid paying for first aid courses & avoiding the possibility of litigation you could sign up with the ambulance service to become a Community Responder. The deal with this is you are assigned to a local group and when 999 is called, you get called also. First to the scene wins. I work out in the sticks where it cam take an ambulance a while to get to an incident and signed up to a local group. You get full accident emergency training right up to using a defib & oxygen therapy equipment, and you’re covered by the ambulance service insurance. There are times when you will be on-duty, however this will be at times convenient to yourself, for me it is 2 mornings a week during office time. If you happened to be 'off-duty' and see an incident that you can help out at,( ie the bloke sat in front of you at St Marys has a heart attack because Saints have won ), you call 999, report the incident and ask to be logged on as a Community Responder, hence you are then covered insurance wise.

There isn't a deposit, the price is divided by 5. The first payment is now, the other 4 are monthly. I guess it won't be interest free if you don't fully pay your credit card bill. I do, so it'll be interest free for me.

I've just bought my tickets on the 0800 number. When paying by credit card, the total cost of your tickets will be spread over 5 equal instalments. The first is taken now, the 4 subsequebt payments will be taken from the same card (or different if you wish) around the 1st of each month.

Didn't see the whole piece, but I thought she was a Reading fan at So'ton General Hosp. Maybe wrong, but if it was SGH, maybe he was passing on his way to St Marys, possibly to be measured up for a kit.

So who will be renewing/buying a ST?
Dimond Geezer replied to saints_is_the_south's topic in The Saints
Defo, Me + the nippers will all renew. The youngest is not keen, but I will get him one anyway (it was only £50 last year). -
Top bloke. I just wonder how lenient the Plod/courts would have been if the house owner had been a strong, fit 30 year old and done the same thing. My guess is he would have been arrested and charged with assault.

Driving to Cardiff with my lad (6 at the time), with scarves & flags on the car, it was the first game he saw saints lose, and he was devastated, :smt022 mind you he’s seen plenty since. Another great memory is when we demolished Coventry 8-2 at the Dell in 1980-something. Hatricks from Danny Wallace & Steve Moran plus a rare goal from my hero at the time, Frankie Worthington. Can’t remember who scored the other goal, can anyone help me out?

I thought Springsteen was great. There was a Saints flag right in the middle of the crowd near the front, it got plenty of tele time

Psycho, I'm far too young to remember Dennis Hollywood.

I remember it crystal clear. I was walking home from school & was about 200 yds from home. A car pulled up next to me & the driver wound down his window, I thought I was about to be abducted by the local weirdo. He asked me if I was a Saints fan, and if I'd heard the news. I said I hadn't. When he told me I thought he was pulling my chain. I legged it home & told my mum that a stranger had told me we'd signed KK, she then proceeded to chastise me for talking to strangers.
-
I can. He probably thought he would have been next, 3 teenagers taking on 1 oldish bloke isn’t a fair fight. Kids nowadays have no respect for authority, be it the Police or an older person. If I had been doing something I shouldn’t and an adult appeared, let alone said anything, I stopped what I was doing, at least until he had gone. Say anything today & you’ll do well just to get a mouthful of abuse thrown at you.

Opening Game off the Season Sweepstake
Dimond Geezer replied to The Fat Controller's topic in The Saints
Don't care as long as it's away to a London team. Mrs Geezer has booked to see a show in London on the Friday night, staying in a hotel ready for a jolly day out in the big smoke on the Saturday. I'm sure she wouldn't mind a bit of shopping whilst I went for beer & footy -
I believe he once lived in a riverside appartment in Whitworth Rd, off the Triangle.

I thought the inflatable escape chutes detach to form a raft

How the mighty have fallen. What a great day that was, despite the result, that was the first game my son (6 years old at the time) had seen us loose. We didn’t quite have enough matches under our belts to ‘earn’ the right to purchase tickets, so had to go through an agency and bought 2 tickets for £375 each. Our tickets were originally meant for the London FA, hence we were sat in the front row surrounded by Arse fans, Saints end though, on the wings. At the final whistle my lad burst into tears, and the big bloke next to him (Arse fan) put his arm around him and said something like ‘maybe next year’, which was a lovely gesture considering he had a Saints flag in his face for most of the game. Incidentally that entire day cost me near on £1000, I still haven’t told Mrs Geezer. I’m glad we went though as I think it will be a long time ‘till were back there.

Already available, hopefully they've managed to sort out the problems you get when hatching, doubt it though hatching has been crap since R12. :mad:
