Is Johnnyboy not selling them.......f*****g bound too be...... Johnny's stock of Ganja fragranced shirts aren't really for me.....
-
I wasn't suggesting that at all Scot. I used the word 'towny', as it's a generalisation for someone that is far removed from the countryside and nature. There are probably just as many people in towns/citys that could survive as there are in the countryside these days.

Moral dilemma Penny. Hard times require hard decisions and hard men/women. My instinct would be to f**k off on my own so I have only myslef to consider. But logically survival would be increased in a smallish group. Naturally people would want to support their loved ones, but what happens when those loved ones just aren't cut out for a 'wild life'? I suppose even the biggest 'towny' could be given jobs to do as long as they were willing. Simple fact is I would bust my gut for an individual if they showed willing and heart but if one just didnt even make an effort then they would have to be fec

Anybody have an idea where the hell I can find the Team GB running top in normal sizes? The T-shirt one not the sleeveless one. I think they look smart for a sports top but everywhere has sold out!

I guess the dogs you kept would be dictated by the quarry hunted. The way things stand a brace of decent lurchers would certainly be beneficial to a savvy hunter. They would obviously have to be a very tough sort and you couldn't possibly expect to keep your entire blood line, too many dogs for a survivor. If pigs and cattle turned wild and were a quarry a whole different animal would be needed. Big bully hound type I suppose. For a lone nomad a small but handy terrier type thing would be ideal. Requires little feeding, nose and hunting drive would be invaluable, tough as feck. Just a

I've got a lot of Darcy and Harcombe books so this should make a nice change. Something to do between re-decorating and kennel building over the next few months. I'll have to build a bloody bookshelf as well! LOL

Hunting makes me feel content and forfilled. It's such a strong basic instinct that I couldn't possibly live a healthy life without feeding that instinct in some way. Some folks unknowingly feed it with some sort of sport or hobby, wildlife photography for instance, but for those of us like myself, only the real thing truely satisfies the ancient hunter within. I was never introduced by my father or anyone else. It was just a part of me that I developed myself. Scratching about in the woods and river as a kid exercising that instinct without realising at the time. I love the hunt and e

All hail Sir Chris Hoy!

And that's the crux of the issue right there Cleanspade. To see two women/girls compete with blood & guts in combat just goes against a very basic feeling in males. That's not to say it's wrong or they don't deserve to have the right. There's a fine line somewhere.
-
That girl never fails to amaze me! She makes the other competitors look like they aren't trying. Sir Chris Hoy is in the men's keirin today as well. Hoy won't race for a Gold until tommorow though assuming he makes the final. Pendleton is great BH if it wasn't for being disq in the sprint she'd probably be a triple gold medalist. I was gutted for her and her team mate in the sprint. But particularly for Pendleton as it's her last Olympics. Not sure if this is wrong but this is what I read on BBC "Hoy will attempt to win the sixth gold medal of his stellar career in the

19 Golds. Not being funny but if we dont get another one then technically we have under achieved................ Mon fazza........... It's a safe bet we'll bag it!

You might be right mate, maybe they should stop spending money on scientific advancement and chuck it all at Africa eh..? no, carry on with useful scientific advancements, mars etc is only being explored to satisfy our curiousity imo. I've asked the question once and no bugger answers yet still harp on the same old shit. Now, I'll ask you directly seeing as you are so disgusted with the funding of scientific research projects. What use is Special Relativity to you? It's just a pointless bit or research right?
-
It's a fecking good job some of you don't make the decisions because we would have feck all to protect nor the knowledge how to attain it. I bet you all have sat navs, mobile phones etc etc. The people that make such things didn't just have a premonition one night. Such things are just a few examples of tech developed from years of seemingly useless scientific research. Einstein's theory of special relativity any use to any of you lot? Genuine question.
-
There are always causes that are more worthy in terms of short term benefits. Why should Billions go into scientific research when all that money could go towards buying struggling pensioners a hot meal everyday or better equiping hospitals? It's a hard decision to justify but the difference is clear when you look at the long term benfits of such research as well. In the future pensioners will be better off and hospitals more effective because of such aparantly useless science and not inspite of. There's never a 'good' time to fund research with the view you take lab, but there is a bigger pic

I bet one of your ancestors said the very same thing when America or Australia was discovered. Exploration is one of the pinnacles of human achievement. Look at all we had to discover to get to this point through all the different technologies, from basic maths to discovering materials and new ways of using them etc. Slightly different as we already had life on Earth when that happened so not so much of a unrealsitic view that somewhere there would be other people. These planets have been watched for years....dont they have mega telescopes seeing right onto them and have seen nothing.
-
The US government don't pour Billions of dollars of funding into NASA and the like because they want to write a big science book, they do it because of the technology that comes back out for use in everyday life and for other areas of government. The books add up pretty well and they recognise such research as very worthwhile adventures. It's a difficult thing to see for the average Jo who hasn't had anything to do with research but it's there in black and white for those who are actually interested to see.

No, there's probably not lab. But if there was some sort of basic microbial life it would help us greatly with our understanding of life/biology and surviving in an extra terrestrial environment. That aside, suppose there is a time one day when we want/need to leave this planet, will we just drop down onto a new world picked out of a hat or send advanced probes there first to make essential analysis before commiting the resources? If/when that day comes it will have been because of the step by step progression in technology that this mission was part of. There's a bigger picture to stuff l

Whats up there that we need do you think to warrant spending millions on research?..... What was to be found by smashing two protons together at 99+% the speed of light in a multi billion pound science experiment? For a start we now have the world wide web. Look at the essential satalite technology we have now etc. If we had never gone to the moon we would not now be considering the possibility of mining asteroids! The list is endless and pays back economically.
-
In one piece? LOL. Excellent news!

Interesting stuff. Considering the Americans put a man on the moon 43 years ago last month you might have thought we would have managed to put a man on Mars by now. It's sad how the human race has given up reaching for the stars. CERN has been a real inspiration to the young scientists of the 21st century like the space programme was in the 60's. Such seemingly pointless scientific missions pay back ten fold with the technology developed and knowledge gained. Unfortunately Politicians are short sighted and need the threat of Nuclear war to make such advancements.

Have you just tried telling her to f**k off?
