I've booked my Covid vaccination for Monday.

I agree and the inability to see the implications of their actions seems to be a common fault in recent times, extending well beyond road planners.

Is it for connecting to a water main to top up the loco's tank?

The M48 Severn Bridge is closed today due to the strong winds. It was closed a couple of weeks ago for the same reason and I hadn't seen this report until it was flagged up again today...

One of my undergraduate pals got a job as chief chemist at a vinegar factory in London. He gave me a tour around it which was fascinating but was a challenge for my nose. He was used to the fumes by then.
This is an interesting read...

Both Putin and Netanhayu know that Trump will probably win the next US Presidential Election; and they also know he is dangerously unpredictable, so he might support them, abandon them or even turn against them. So they're intent on destroying Ukraine and Palestine before the election.

And there isn't much Geology or Earth Sciences taught in schools now.

I think it would be difficult to make a comparison because you'd need to be able to determine the temperature of the liquids throughout the experiment, both heating and cooling. The distribution of heating is different in the two cases and the microwave can superheat due to the focusing of the energ...

Where Stanley used to keep his pasty warm?

Interesting Cathy! I can only suggest that one was oil-based and the other water-based. Oil is light than water so when the mixture was left to settle the oil-based layer floated to the top. The purple dye must be oil-soluble and the green pigment water-soluble too.

It can go on for a very long time because the mantle contains radioactive elements that are continuously producing heat. They've been doing it for billions of years and still have a long way to go! :smile: This is an interesting development and I can almost hear the Brexiteer climate deniers saying ...

I sympathise with this bloke but what struck me in the article is that `the most probable cause of the fire was an electrical fault or a component failure in a moving diesel vehicle'. The small number of electric vehicles present might have increased the danger slightly but the main problem is the l...

Apparently it's routine before every US Presidential Election for our Foreign Sec to visit the two leading candidates `for discussions'.

That's a good video and as it reaches the end it shows the waves crashing against the new rocks - and that's the cycle starting all over again. The volcanic rock is being eroded, will form sand and silt, then be compressed and heated to form new sedimentary rock which will eventually be subducted ba...

On a pedantic note, shouldn't it be 'Waste to energy' plant? Yes, and rarely `energy from waste' plant. A similar, common, mangling of the language is `substitute oil with gas' when they mean `replace oil with gas' or `substitute gas for oil.' I think the garbled version is due to the way football ...
