Argument going around in circles ... No surprise there. If Wooshes bikes or other bikes were what you needed to ensure you get your heart medicine from the pharmacy , then the analogy is closer. Carrying the analogy further, the other vendor is offering 800whr battery's , whereas you had...

I don't take the Telegraph.. and cannot download anything from it.

You really do need to get a different source of information than the Daily Express. I find it very tolerable for matters regarding astronomy, and that's about all.

Meanwhile back to the Brexit aftermath .... The following fro the Cork Examiner .. "Irish exports to Britain continued to surge in July, latest CSO figures show, despite ongoing Brexit upheaval. The value of goods exports from Ireland to Britain jumped by €567m – or 60% - to just over €1.5bn...

I fully accept that I have no insider information on this deal. But the cursory glance on the Wiki on French nuclear submarines did flag up that the Australians were purchasing a diesel variant of the most recent class of French submarine. The models for the French navy of the same submarine...

I suspect that they did. I would also suspect that they will be supplying old tech. ,Not new tech. According to a Wikipedia article, which predated this kerfuffle, the French were going to supply them with French state of Art subs, which were designed for nuclear reactors for propulsion, but...

With all that pension money building up with Covid, and nowhere to spend it, I decided in August to get some solar PV. .. I have had 6 sq metre of solar Thermal for over a decade, now . Anyway they were installed about 2 weeks ago, and they are great fun... 4 panels facing due south, and...

I would certainly have seen these at Dublin Airport back in the days of Vickers Viscounts, and I am also thinking in the Dublin Zoo. Similar devices would have been used on the few pedestrian only streets for street cleaning and rubbish removal. Some are fitted with rotary brushes and a...

Sorry I only noticed this thread today.. But while I certainly not English , there is a much wider tradition of British Folk Music than you are admitting. Just like there is more to Dance than Morris Troops, . The Scottish traditions, the Northumbria region are very rich. Much of Joan...

In a global population of 7700 Million then yes 330 million and 66 million are outlyers . Funny that I got no responses to measuring air conditioning units of heating in Tons.. a well established USA convention. The most fundamental duty of any Government to its citizens is actually the...

But cannot you not see that both the UK and USA are the outlyers ? .. and are the miles not even different?. When Ireland was part of the Empire , we even had a different length for the Mile!., So the mile was not even standard. If I cross the Border I just remember to stick to 96 on the...

Not Oyster .. but I will bite.. Our weighing scales are all Kgs ..including the kitchen ones . The car is set to read Km.hr and the odometer Kms . The fuel computer does kms per litre. I know that I typically fill the car with 50 litres of diesel and get about 1000Km. My ebike is set at km.hr...

The digital speedometer in standard cars is switchable..

The only thing natural about the base 60 for time is that the earth goes around the sun in 360 days +_ 1%

Fahrenheit was a medical practitioner so he set 100 as the temperature of a healthy human and then made the scale unit as small as was perceived.. A very reasonable thing to do .Just slightly off when a larger population was sampled , but the idea was sound. Our Celsius was equally arbitrary...

The word would be demi as in demi litre . I have contributed to this discussion a few times before, so wouldn't be this ... But lets get real .. how many of you are interested in "five ton equivalent " as a measure of a heat exchanger. The Joule is precise. But the KW hr is useful and...

Finally we are singing from the same hymnal .... . Had the Delta variant not arrived , which is 1200 times more productive in viruses than the original, then the vaccines would have almost certainly done the business and we would be back to normal. Recall that in the very early days, it was...

You probably don't pick up on NI news, but yesterday the Health Minister there urgently requested that the MoD would send medically trained Army personnel to help contain their surge in cases. His concern is that the current staff are basically wiped out ,tired worn down and after 2 years of...

Z... . Your eyes are different, and optically very poor devices. Your brain does the compensation. Remember.. even that the images in the retina are inverted . Don't underestimate the power of even your brain.

Years ago as a young driver I was returning on a wet very dark night and travelling at about 50 along what passed as a main road. The only inklings I had of a person walking was that the car lights picked up a film of water glistening on the sole of their shoe!., As they stepped along They...
