Not quite, It’s an online CPD type set up which I’ve just completed for the umpteenth time. Just amusing myself between modules.

It’s ok

You think the Loch Ness monster is more likely than other forms of life we are not yet aware of 😂😂

That is porn to me, lucrative porn. jokes aside I guess we all find a system of study that work, got to keep things in date 🤷‍♂️and keep your skills fresh. That’s the only reason I do it.

Nope no hyperbole as you put it at all Mick, you threw the first derisory Moonbat comment in to take it to that point. Where’s the pants wetting Trekkies you speak of 🤷‍♂️?? I certainly don’t see no hysteria surrounding the hearings. I think most people are genuinely interested in the facts as given by the likes of the pilot mentioned. That’s my take on it. I’ll digress and mention many moons ago on exercise with the army I lay in a dossbag at night in the pitch black on the edge of the rift valley in Africa, zero light pollution pure silence and not a cloud in the sky, the number of stars etc were just incredible to gaze up at, I don’t think our minds are capable of taking in the vastness of what’s out there. Enough of that crap 🤷‍♂️I need to stop looking for any excuses to ignore the studying I’m supposed to be getting on with .

Have you watched any of the hearings or evidence given ??? The former US navy pilot I watched giving his statement gave a rational presentation of the facts as he saw it. 🤷‍♂️was he lying “ who knows” to sit here and think we know everything that is out there beyond what we have knowledge of in the limited time we have been flying and in space itself is staggeringly arrogant. Admittedly I don’t expect ET to come past the window on his bike this evening. https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Ryan-HOC-Testimony.pdf

Joe Biden says ‘over 100’ Americans have died from Covid APPLE.NEWS Joe Biden accidentally said that “over 100” Americans died during the coronavirus pandemic as he... Nothing wrong with old Joe 😳

Interesting post with some decent information but let’s get away from the fantasy that is “ net zero “ or in this case a zero emissions transport system, the truth is there never can be such a thing or indeed “ net zero” at all every single item comes at an environmental cost, it’s how we manage that which is the key.

Nigel Farage: BBC apologises over inaccurate report on Coutts bank account closure APPLE.NEWS The BBC has issued an apology to Nigel Farage over a story on the closure of his Coutts bank... BBC inaccurate 😳😳surely not.

The lack of vision includes the lack of ability to look beyond the current narrow option Easy sorted but probably way too out the box for the totally gutless nation we’ve become.

You are unfortunately probably correct in much of what you say, increase the beam a bit and the load capacity would increase massively as well you know. I look around and despair at how things are panning out in the UK nowadays, especially after the last few years of madness.

My own view in this is a total reconstruction and development of a dedicated system based upon the ability to load/offload iso containers at say inland container terminals. A barge wide/long enough to carry say 20-30 containers does not require a huge depth of water to operate in or power to move if tide etc is not an issue, just a pipe dream eggs but why the hell not eh,we spunked billions on hs2 and even more on covid 🤷‍♂️. This country has zero vision or long term strategy any more, we seem to be more concerned about lgbtq+ bollocks and a multitude of other crap than anything.

The whole canal network is I think an underused system. Surely in this day and age with all the green environmental emphasis a well thought out programme utilising larger canals based around iso containers could shift huge amounts of freight from one area to another rather than the never ending night time road based trunking operations.

Temporary Dams 👍 great little jobs in the summer months. id not think it will be in for long, looks good seal and a tidy job they’ve done there.

I agree in principle but Hinckley for example will prove to be a huge cash cow for who !!! EDF 🤷‍♂️ Massive change is needed in the UK from the top down and sadly I don’t think we will ever see it.

The main point for me 42 is you made an absolute fool of yourself throughout the last media driven farce yet still try to throw in smart arse comments. You were vehemently against everything I stood for during that period and have been proven to be wrong in every way yet now you are an expert on midge numbers and global climate patterns, I don’t avoid anything that’s valid but genuinely won’t even bother to answer multiple vague questions “ an absolute well worn tactic of yours” created from behind your curtains using scenarios based upon the latest round of msm crisis stories. There’s a nice little bit of real world info for you, that’s from the windy north too ps just for your interest It’s cold and damp and has pissed down for the last week back home according to the mrs, my place is lifting with wildlife including a multitude of different insect types.

That id like to see, slowly slowly just bundle them off the road and onto the pavement at all times maintaining that apathetic gormless look they seem to have perfected.

Nigel Farage receives apology from Coutts after bank account row APPLE.NEWS Coutts has apologised to Nigel Farage after his bank account was closed. Looks like the racist bigot was telling the truth again.

Here we go with the missing the point thing again the point that only you ever seem to get . 42 you are as blind with this as you were with covid. Punitive actions !!!! Seriously you don’t think charging or fining people to drive their car into a newly proclaimed clean air zone is not punitive, forcing people to upgrade even if they can’t afford it banning the sale of new diesel and petrol cars etc etc the so called climate crisis is the latest thing to be hijacked by the media and as with covid the profits will be huge, and just as they did with covid the gullible will swallow it without question. listen you are obviously happy to have Chinese supplied renewables, Russian coal and oil from anywhere but here all in the name of the environment, crack on buy your electric car and terrify yourself like you did previously. Common sense just doesn’t seem to be that common nowadays in politics or in the population. By the way 42 you want to throw in a Moonbat wisecrack 🤷‍♂️no probs at all, you have been proven to be utterly wrong and massively gullible/naive during the covid farce whereas the likes of myself and a few others on here have ultimately been proven to have been correct ina lot of what we argued about. The difference between you and some of the other covid zealots is that they have chosen to maybe let it go with the realisation they might well have called it wrong. You on the other hand still try to be a smart arse using the moonbat comment or making out only you get the point etc etc

Christ you are beyond talking common sense too. I should have known that after the last few years. Yep chinas wonderful renewables infrastructure eh 42 🤔oh yeah they are massively into that along with the multiple new coal fired power stations and steel works. There is a balance to be had and we could start by cutting China out the loop in regards what we see around our coastline. Educate yourself on the current reality of uk renewables and the source of most of the eqpt 42 and the tidal options available in the uk etc etc the changes required need to be from government and be long term strategic ones rather than punitive actions to the average citizen in the short term. Unlike yourself 42 I’ve seen first hand and worked within the renewable industry, seen all the vessels, the crews the crane barges the heavy lift ships hauling jackets and monopoles from China and elsewhere all the way to the uk to install off our coastline wind farms that generate eye watering profits for mainly overseas companies.paid for in the end by UK customers.

You ever been involved with any of the current renewables projects or see where the kit is actually made or who is installing it ??

Like I say you do like to gobble up a bit of hysteria 42. Get yourself to China and India and see how you get on. We do far more than most here. You of all people advising “ open your eyes” that’s pretty ironic.

Alternatively?? Lib/Dem 🤮Greens 🤷‍♂️we’ve seen how useless they are up here Mark. Starmers arse will fall out if he ever gets in and it will be back to the same old crap merry go round, you can see that already.
