Back in my training days, Met class textbook atmospheric composition of the atmosphere - 78% Nitrogen 21% Oxygen 1% every other gas (Methane, Neon, Radon Carbon Monoxide etc etc.), that was 30 years ago, and nothing has changed...

So no, I'm not bothered.

Apologies then, but the atmospheric composition seems not to have changed ????

Good, not a prude by any means but I don't need that, don't need the title of the thread either.

Wod - I agree with you, but as a result of the majority wish for a largely unmoderated forum, we inevitably will have those whose conversational technique must involve the use of bad language/profanity/abuse etc.

The options are:-
Ignore the item/s.
Gather 'majority opinion' here to seek a change.
Unilaterally ask Alison to act.

You could, of course, approach the relevant poster yourself, but I suspect you will be met with an invitation to be their sexual advisor. :))

Indeed.
Sorry Wodrick if my grumpy, sweary tone has put you off.
I'm a bit thick-skinned myself, I ought to remember that not everyone has such a robust outlook on things.
I offer my apology to you.

Methinks the lawyers did Mr Clarkson and his product a great service when they banned his advert due to his bibulous expletive of joy. His product is getting far more cheap advertising coverage than he would have got had his original advert not been banned, as people tweet, retweet, post, repost and unwittingly get on board the faux outrage bus! =))

Whenever I hear that particular expletive or ejaculation, I am apt to think of this moment... (the buggers, whoever they are, have retroactively bleeped it out here too)... :-? The late great Ray Hanna at the controls of the Spitfire!




@*%$ me sideways with a pink lily, as my grandmother wasn't apt to say! =))

More breathless and unchallenged shoite being spouted today on how we are all going to freeze/ roast in the years to come.

Give me a break!

If the UK government announced a total halt to economic activity, these eco-loonies would still say its not enough.

A K sez "If the UK government announced a total halt to economic activity, these eco-loonies would still say its not enough."

Of the 2 possibilities listed, I thought the first was already a fait accompli (thanks to the plague) and the second has also frequently been spouted by our climate saviour warriors?

And there are some climate specialists who are disputing the warming figures being touted by the eco-brigade and producing records with which to prove their case. So who do we believe?

Like the Covid1984 farce, look forwards to ***** data being trotted out by or on behalf of those who will profit financially from sending us back to caves wearing skins and fur from the final culling of the remaining quadrupeds.

That is after the bipeds have been successfully culled by the now obvious techniques being employed by Gates, Fauci, Schwab & Co (Un)Ltd.

After the launch of Sputnik the US moved into a massive no-expense-spared space program. Why we can't do this with energy research I cannot fathom, perhaps the politicians own too many shares in oil companies. Fusion seems to be the new route to follow.

All my life I've been told two things about energy:

1. Practical fusion power is twenty years away.
2. The supply of crude oil will run out in thirty years.

Nobody told me the start date would always shift to the right.

I was told the UK had 300 years reserve of coal around that sort of time. The UK still imported it from elsewhere, at the time I figured this was a good idea because then we'd still have some left when everyone else ran out.

Nostalgia, I remember my father coaling ship with Welsh Steam coal and watching the stokers shovelling it into the boilers. If every there was a job not on my bucket list.
We had the odd lump of that WSC in our coal bunker. Very satisfying breaking it up with a hammer.
Then we got nutty slack, small lumps and less sulphur

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said the name "Monkey pox" has to be changed as is discriminatory against Africans. A new title is sought. Mrs OFSO and I suggest it should be renamed "The pox gay guys get from b....... each other in the sauna."

Succint and to the point. Oh no, can't use the word "succint" can we. Suggestive, isn't it.

I saw somewhere once that a service manual for some bit of transistorised kit for some part of the military was edited because the powers that be objected to "the transistor bottoms" but were perfectly happy with "the transistor turns hard on".
