Nessie will of course scarper and hide with all the human activity going on to find it. Come back out later after the Nessie hunt has ended

Forget the politics Mark but that video is so full of factual and statistical errors it’s not worth posting.

Climate change is just a load of MSM hype. Come up, keep up!

Good to hear this. It was never a conspiracy theory in my book, always been fascinated by the idea, and would like to believe it but can't quite entirely as I've not had personal experience.

 

Any ideas on how it works?

2  L shaped wires; long arm forward, short arm in an empty biro tube or just in your fist. Tilt them slightly forward to point the long arms forward, tilt them slightly together to get them to cross in front of you or tilt them both to the left to get them to tilt to the left. That really is all there is to it. No more.

I was sitting in a shed with a mate setting this up once (he wanted to show me it would work when he stepped over a hose-pipe) and with perfect timing, the lady we were working for (it was tea-time) appeared at the door and I tilted both wires to one side so that the long arms both pointed at her. As if by magic.

They both absolutely refused to believe that I had done that, they insisted that I had magic powers and that I just didn't know it.

 

In a controlled experiment, years ago (when New Scientist was still worth reading) but probably repeated, plastic bottles were buryed in a sandpit, some full of water, some empty, diviners were only allowed to proceed if they agreed that it was a fair test. I believe there may even have been sections of the pit with no bottles at all. The results were no better than chance. Some were meh, some were angry - some with themselves, some with the organisers - some accepted and reconsidered what they were doing. All went home better informed.

T'were a long time ago but google it.

As for water engineers looking for leaks, same thing, they just tilt the rods when their feet get wet.

Happy days

Please or thank you might have got you somewhere but go and do a modicum of research in regards the wild statements he’s making then come back. I’ll give you a pointer in regards LNG look at south hook terminal in Milford Haven and tell me how far that is from Qatar. Also it is not 100 new projects is it ?? It’s 100 licences for particular blocks. If they do find anything do you have any idea of how long it takes to bring a new find online ???. Mark was probably coming in his pants at the terms he used against Sunak but it doesn’t stop the fact it was pure bollocks.

Nice to see you are back to riding on other people’s posts again 42, any input on China and India yet vs what we contribute globally 🤔🤔🤔 or give me one good reason why we should not extract our own oil and gas, support employment here etc etc. Do you know how much coal the UK imports 42 ??? Another thing we should be extracting here rather than playing the “ look at us we are so environmentally friendly” then importing the same stuff 🤷‍♂️shit swallowed by mugs 42. Msm have gone into overdrive with the climate stuff lately just as they did with the whole covid farce.
