Engineering progress = engineering progress. Space travel industry = space travel industry. 2 different things poppet. Those of us who understand that, understand it, and can also distinguish between a developing prospect and something that's revolutionised an industry. Fwiw, I see the scope - I was an early investor in space ex pre float via SMT.

FFS, ever decreasing circles. Once there's open and widely available space travel, we'll have a revolution. Until then, let's admire the progress.

I bet to differ...but feel free to begin a science/engineering/tech thread if a debate about it excites you.

Sigh. You're hard of reading I have acknowledged the tech advances. What I have disputed is the suggestion that they've revolutionised space travel, and that's because they haven't. Yet.

Back to earth... borrowing up a fifth year on year. Coupled with higher borrowing costs, it's not ideal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c68049m18435o

We'll agree to differ...your question confirms that you're focusing on the tech developments (which I've acknowledged) not the "revolutionised space travel" point. When space travel becomes widely available, it's been revolutionised. Until then, tech is progressing, and a future revolution becomes a possibility. Concorde revolutionised transatlantic travel, and transported thousands of punters. Taking a select few into low orbit space, is a million miles from a revolution. I'll leave it here as this nothing to do with the thread, ie this country.

I think it's more that the purpose of the cheating was to help us get to the PL, not that promotion to the PL is the prize from this league.

Pretty much my take on it. I've said 8-12 games, but arrived at differently. I think we could just about live with 8 and install a caretaker, but 12 is more testing. I agree re the whining which, for me, devalues the remorse.

Turning the radio on and being greeted by a favourite tune.

All very lovely, but show me where space travel, as an industry, has been "revolutionised". I've been clear that technical advances are a different thing, and sure there's been achievements in that respect, but space travel has not been opened up, let alone "revolutionised", to suggest it has been is hyperbole.

If (inevitably) Tonda is likely to be banned for any amount of time, sounding out a new manager is the right thing to do.

If you're talking revolutionary tech, that's different to revolutionising space for travel, which they haven't revolutionised.

He said they had "revolutionised space travel". They've done no such thing. When spave travel becomes safe and a regular thing beyond a select few, I'd agree it's been revolutionised, but until then, let's keep some perspective.

I'm not sure which way you mean that...if you think it's revolutionised space travel, I'd like to know where I can sign up for my trip to the international space station. I'm free on Thursday.

Yep. Space X isn't a great example of a success story, yet. In time I think it'll be worth a fortune, but it's not done anything to date to warrant praise, and the suggestion that it's revolutionised space travel is nonsense. NASA on the other hand, has actually had successes.

Capatilsm is a tool for organising markets, not how to organise a society. Governments deal with the latter.

I'm not sure anyone was ever going to invade, save the US for the mining prospects. The Greenlanders will recognise that, but I suspect will be relieved there's been a compromise which hopefully doesn't impact their day to days lives.

So what sectors are you referring to? Which sectors have you had direct dealings with, and what level? What are the actual issues you've experienced?

You cannot make such a sweeping statement. You plainly have zero idea about the reality on the ground. I only have direct knowledge of the court system, and that has been chronically under funded and staffed for years. Pay more money, and they'd have even less staff and even more backlog and chaos. The staff, on the whole, are superb, and the issue is not too many people or poor talent. You'd do well to understand the reality rather than making sweeping comments.

I think you're expecting a bit much. That's a bloody good bench for this level.

The squad includes the options we've had all season, and we've scored 18 goals. Relax poppet.

I know several ex players who are. Incredibly popular bloke.

As I said, you'll go around in circles. I know the difference outlooks we have, and as much as I don't respect your political views, I respect that you can have them. I'll leave it there.

I'm not going here with you given your Israel/Gaza stance mate.

I won't carry on a discussion with you because you'll go round in circles, but I'll comment re lineker. He's a bloke with a moral compass. His opinion about Zionism isn't a complicated one, and anyone can and should have an opinion on that. What he had was the bollocks to voice it, unlike most. I'm not sure how you can conflate that with his stance on his tax - where he challenged a wrongly applied principle - and was proved correct. I see him as standing up for what's right, whereas you applaud people who stand up up for what's right for their pocket.
