Please don't give him delusions of grandeur

His qualifications and career are not exactly secret : http://www.climatescience.gov/Library/bios/pachauri.htm http://www.rkpachauri.org/bio.php And as for the glaciers, the science tends to support the fact that they ARE receding,- the point about the date possibly being misquoted is being used as a smokescreen; http://www.skepticalscience.com/himalayan-glaciers-growing.htm http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/03/070327113346.htm http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/jun/04/byers-himalaya-changing-landscapes ( Yes I know, it's that tree-hugger's comic the Grauniad ) And please note, the quote from Prof Dowdeswell is only debunking the accuracy of the 2035 date, ( which it seems is a typographical error transposing 2350 ) - his research work is investigating the recession of the glaciers and Antarctic ice, and he fully subscribes to the fact they are melting and liable to affect sea levels, it's the rate at which it is happening that is open to debate. ( There are plenty enough points questioning Peter Taylor's capability in this field already ).

In reply to Dune, ( his post is far too long to quote ); If that had come from any other source than the Express I would give it more credence, however I must admit it is 'interesting' and does merit further investigation; mind you, their '100 reasons' have already been broadly debunked, including comments earlier on this thread, so don't place too much reliance on that as supporting data

I thought the ban is actually enacted on player registrations, so even this cannot be done.

Don't think I've ever found one on my LINUX laptops either

I think the only 'short cut' that F1 needs should be applied to Bernie's neck.

Just started on this version of FM ( using the latest patch from the start ) - first thing I did was send Papa back, ( having looked his stats and extortionate disproportionate salary), and sell Wotton, thereby freeing up the wages bill enough to coax in 6 new players, 4 buys and 2 more loans. Oh, and I also released Pulis on day 1

Export - silted up harbour Whinger - redhead with a gold medal spreadsheet - tidy your bed (or) spreadsheet - distribute manure

Don't they have a 'world class' academy then ? They should have to play the youngsters /reserves to make up the shortfall.

At least wait for him to play before passing judgement. Presumably Pards has had him scouted for a while, and hasn't based his assessment solely on his performance against us. The raw material, ( height, weight, age, pace ), is there, and you can bet that we will probably be without both Jaidi & Perry next season, ( in the CCC ), when they will be older and slower, and DS will have got games 'under his belt', and understand how the squad are set up for Pards' style of footy.

My least favourite would have to be Stock, ( Aitken and Waterman ).

Someone's been listening to 'I'm sorry I haven't a clue'.

Don't you believe it. All power corrupts........

Didn't West Ham get away with it though, when they had Tevez & his mate ?

I would suggest the problem is more with the school or the LEA than the initiative itself; "you can lead a horse to water,..." etc. As somebody nearer to the sharp edge of this than some on here, I am amazed at how badly some schools manage their ICT estate, and the National Education Network, ( or the National Grid for Learning as it used to be called ), actually does provide tangible benefits for those that can be bothered to invest some time in discovering what is possible. It's just that for every evangelist there's a CBA merchant.

Minority Report ?

St G, Bob Carter is more of a 'sceptic' than even you are, so this is hardly a surprising piece of 'evidence'. http://www.logicalscience.com/skeptics/bobcarter.html May I suggest you go and try what Whitey Grandad has been challenged to do; find a sceptic who can be demonstrated to be unbiased, and without direct financial links to EXXON.

Which is why oceanic heating is such a concern, ( see the links to methane being released from the sea bed deposits ).

That was from April last year, this is November.... http://greenhouseneutralfoundation.org/articles/2009/11/12/massive-ross-ice-shelf-may-collapse-without-warning/ I think we are probably still in the 'we are not quite sure what is happening' phase.
