Why is there such a witch hunt against them? Could anybody have worked harder to find their daughter than them? It is a tragedy that all parents dread.

I'm Spartacus

I might need to correct my assessment after today - but some bushes have not delivered. Nature is a funny thing.

There have been better years but there are still some about. I think you can drink after three months but you are better to wait for longer. Other suggestions are always welcome - I put raspberries in and that seemed to deliver

That is what the Daily Mail did but in a tactless way. Miliband talked of his Father's influence and inevitably that would lead to debate on his politics.

Where did I say that and how do you know what newspapers I read? I just find it ironic that on a thread that questions the taste in speaking ill of the dead you chose to join the condemnation with your choice of Avatar.

With your avatar I cannot help but chuckle at the hypocrisy. Left or right it offends the British sense of fair play

My sympathy for Ed is diluted by his associations with McBride and the fact that he put power before his relationship with his brother. That said I think it was a pretty tasteless means of attack from the Daily Mail - but then I am not a politician

A victory for common sense and defeat for the jobsworth.

I lost a good friend of mine recently. Drowned falling of his boat. I got him this amazing wreath in the shape of a large lifebuoy for the funeral. Its what he would have wanted.

I would put the blackberries in with the sloe gin

Extraordinary decision to look for the penalty when you have rounded the keeper!

In the old days people blindly followed what their religious leaders told them. Today people seem to be blindly following what scientists are telling us. As with religion I generally ere in the sceptical camp but still respect the motives of both religious leaders and scientists but recognise there is always some self interest present.

Back in the seventies they were telling us we were entering a new ice age. Over population and our national debt are at present a far more serious threats to our children and grand children way of life. That said, if the predictions were more accurate then I would demand action and would be more inclined to worry.

One would acknowledge that forecasting is not a precise science but they seem to be totally off the mark and that is the issue. If I could feel the symptoms then I would be the first to go to the Doctor. It is idiots like me that need to be persuaded and that is the problem; the symptoms we are told are not evident at a local level. This is not a right and left issue or should not be.

This graph is showing growth for the surface of the earth in the last 15 years does this contradict the report? Anyway the point I am making is not that I am saying there is no global warming I merely expect for the argument to be convincing for predictions to should ring true. If the argument is that convincing then they should be able to forecast to a reasonable extent what will happen in the next ten years and they cannot. It is not just that they cannot they are often spectacularly wide of the market.

Well that would seem to prove your point but when was this graph put together?

Sorry I must have misunderstood the term stalling By argument I meant one where they get their predictions correct No Richard - I saw him the other day and he said he agreed with his brother

Thank you for reiterating my point about the abuse. How would interpret would you interpret 'warming' then Aintforever? I would say it means getting hotter - maybe a misread this but I think the report said the surface has not warmed up. A year ago you would have called me a retard if I said that the surface temperatures were not rising, telling me 'read the science'. Now you call me a retard when it is proved that temperatures have not risen saying - you guessed 'read the science'. Science should be questioned and people have a right to do this. Did you know that some scientists wanted the stalling in global warming to be omitted from the report?

One would be more comfortable embracing the concept of global warming if those that put forward the concept ever predicted anything correctly. Do you remember the BBQ summer that never was - it happened to be after we had a hot summer the year before. Then we had a couple of wet summers and this year they confidently predicted that wet summers were a key symptom of global warming and we better get used to it. Cue the scorching summer. My children were also told they would never see snow!! We now discover that in the last 15 years global warming has not been happening after all. Now as soon as anybody even dares question global warming, then one is jumped upon as some kind of idiot just like they were when the shrinking Ozone layer was going to give us all skin cancer. The use of the word denier has some sort of sinister association with those that questioned the holocaust designed to sort of shame people out of questioning it. What also worries me is that as Tim Yeo has shown, global warming is also an industry and it is in the interests of many people to influence policy. This accusation is always being levelled at those that doubt global warming but increasingly applies to the green industry. I genuinely would like the case for global warming to be put forward competently so that I can judge whether it is indeed happening but with so many projections going astray it dilutes the argument. I happen to be a big advocate of 'green' energy anyway because anything that is renewable will help maintain dwindling resources. These resources will dwindle further and further due to the rising population. As Richard Attenborough says, our biggest issue as a planet is the rising population but this seems to be politically incorrect to discuss so it is ignored.

That's very kind but I might have to decline and just wish Huffton well. I will sponsor him over the weekend. The link does not do paypal

I might be in the 1.27% but I would probably need the publicity to ensure that the humiliation of failure would give me the willpower?
