The RAF fleet is based at Waddington and pretty sure the entire fleet is deployed in the Middle East. Leaving me to believe they're Army drones. Dunno about colour but might help if we could figure out some details.... What base is it?

Be about right that. It's looking highly probable that if we are to become extinct it'll be from one of our own creations and naivety! Be it a world ending weapon, a supervirus or the fecking Cylons. It's at least one theory as to why the universe isn't teaming with Vulcans and what not. Basically there being some significant natural law that intelligent life tends to kill itself off before really mastering space travel. The Apocalypse is coming! LOL

I'm in the same boat as in I've only recently discovered the word pantheism but when I looked into it I found well that's just about how Ive always seen things and now I have a name for it like you... I hate the world God because of all the stuff we have been fed over the years as soon as you say God a instant image of some bloke on a cloud with everyone bowing before him and blowing smoke up his arse pops into my head along with all the other nonsense that comes with such dietys and I just can't buy that .but with pantheism it's more of a awareness of everything and the connections between th

Yes but if you still don't get the supported by evidence business then we really are just on two different planes of thought. Where I've said anything is ludicrous is also confusing. What other people may think of your own theories I personally wouldn't let bother me. If you demand proof to be absolute, in anything, then you will never get it. If you accept that evidence reduces the need for faith in a theory to a point to which it is unreasonable to believe anything else, that you can attain. That is a realistic proof. I don't demand proof of anything (although lots of non believers claim

And yet people have survived such a thing unblemished, thus evidence that contradicts your 'fact'. Therefore not a fact.Demanding a theory be proven and yet setting the qualification of proof as unattainable is not a valid argument. You've simply begun to define the limits of understanding and knowledge. I'll give you another example then. I'd say that it is an unquestionable fact that every person who laid their neck on a railway track and let a freight train pass over it would be brown bread, no matter how many people did it. So that is a reasonable statement to make and other than ext

Everything you think you know as fact is theory then. This cup of coffee I'm drinking is theoretical in that sense. I'm sure it's real, everyone else agrees with me but is it not possible that it's all an illusion and in fact I'm mistaken? A theory is an explanation for what is what. The important bit is how supported that theory is with evidence. Observations, thought experiments, mathematics. The more you gather and the more you challenge it the closer it gets to being proven....... All that considered, at what point do you consider something proven? Can we all agree that it's proven

Define creationism precisely and you'll avoid an inevitable argument among reasonable men.....

You'd need more than a tweed jacket to drum that into this noggin. I visualise what you are saying, and I've read the dots on a balloon explanation too. Take the balloon example. The dots do get further apart, but there is still air inside the balloon and air/space/gas/you outside the balloon. It has to expand into something. Imagine you have the balloon on the table in front of you and you add air to it. Firstly, it is ON the table. Then the dots nearest the table stay the same distance from the table. The dots on top the balloon get further away from the table. The dots the far sid

Logically, if space is "infinite" then not only are there other planets out there similar to ours, there should be planets identical, with countries called the same name, languages the same and exactly the same people having the same discussion about it. And there should be an infinite number of those planets too. Unless space isn't infinite. And if it isn't infinite, it has to end somewhere. But what is beyond that end? Don't get me started. I'm very firmly skeptical when any physicist starts talking about physical infinite's! They belong to the world of mathematicians not physics

Does it? Show me some! LOL Dark matter is the answer to an experimental anomaly that is as yet unresolved. It's got a lot of support because it's very plausible and nothing has really challenged it. But there ain't a great deal that supports it either! Personally I can't help but feel there's a strong possibility it's a result of an incomplete understanding of gravity being applied on a fairly unfamiliar scale (galactic!) and as a result we have got a false conclusion. This is the difference between solid strongly supported scientific theory that for all intents and purposes is fact an

You're talking about anti atoms right? Because anti particles are not at all that exotic a form of matter. In fact I have to consider them and their interactions occasionally at work. Antiparticals combine together to create antimatter right? But That's about where my knowledge ends.. I openly admit I only know what you scientists tell me.. Ask me to do the math and you will see a glazed look come over me lol... But everyday is a learning day so by all means expand No no, you're doing fine mate. I'm not exactly an expert at the forefront of nuclear research but I do have to deal with

That's a desperate article if I've ever seen one. Like I say I've got it and it's makes you a weaker person. We're supposed to believe that we have a disproportionately high number of people with a chronic lung disease in our Olympic team who can compete with people who don't and yet we get so may golds...sorry I call BSYou can call it whatever you like. There's a fella who researches exercise induced asthma who's offering an alternative explanation. Lots of folks have asthma fella, that doesn't make them scientific authorities on it. According to him 70% of our swimmers have the conditi

Do you believe the people that run the sport are free of corruption? Like another cyclist said, he must have a very severe case of asthma to need injections of this strength. Apparently it would be like using a sledge hammer to crack a not Speculation ain't worth shite to me. I'm not really into muddying athletes names off the back of that sort of stuff. I'll leave that attitude to the yanks. He was given the nod by the authorities. It's completely different to what the likes of Fury is going through. If in the future the rules are changed then so be it but he has played by the rules.

There's just a little bit of difference between being given the okay by the authorities to take a prohibited substance for health reasons and illegally taking a prohibited substance! LOL People read 'steroid' and immediately think roid-head. It's just not the case. He's done feck all wrong from what I can see.

You seem to have missed the point but okay. Edited on seeing your second post. That's the point, allowing a free for all isn't policy, it's a total lack of it and is basically accepting failure and collateral. I believe in letting folks do whatever they want to themselves but I accept that there are sometimes great consequences to others in society and then it becomes the governments job to legislate to protect those innocents. Flattening dealers is fine but it ain't gonna be much good carried out by Bob and Tony from No12 and 14. Once Bob and Tony have shot the easy dealers, some

The dealers are just a product of market demand. If you start shooting them then you're just freeing up market share for a bigger badder smarter dealer. Seeing as the government seem to have absolutely no control of their country it's very much a society where big bad ballsy men thrive. Shoot the addicts that are harming those around them and the dealers will be out of business. That'd be putting the responsibility squarely where it belongs! Addicts that aren't harming anybody have a right to do whatever they want to their own bodies. The only real solution to these societal problems i
