Quite right historicity is not a science. All the black slaves not exported to Jamaica in time for the new Wilberforce laws earlier that century would have been absorbed into the mainstream by Victorian times? Besides which whoever played it, the real life model would have been so covered in soot and street grime that it wouldn't have been obvious except on a BBC production. In the meantime the lack of scientific talent at the Blue Peter output end of things wouldn't have got lost entirely. It's just that the facts the same scientists who brought us news of a carbon dioxide increase of 70 parts per million also brought us news of a mid day background level and news of a fall of 400 parts per million of oxygen molecules (presumably apart from the CO2?) though from watching either BBC, ITV C4 or 5, you'd still be ignorant. Even reading the churlish nonentities such as that amoeba: Dawlish, you would gain little insight. Those two overlooked vital signs require the introduction of an inverse law and that could get scientific.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Constant abuse is very tedious, W. Try another tack? Like predicting the next Earthquake? I know it hurts a little when I ask the impossible, because of your complete faliure to reply - mainly because your outcome stats of 12.5% accuracy since April don't do you many favours! |

wrote in message ... I've noticed that al the 'usual suspects' the BBC, Guardian, Independent and of course the son of a affluent professional marxist; now whats his name ..ah yes the boy Ed Milliband and associates, are all keeping very quiet about the remarkable recovery of the Arctic sea ice. I'm not too sure if Alastair and Dawlish posted-they usualy do if the ice news is grim; but if never ceases to amaze me how all those that are concerned that we heading for melt down stay silent when the disaster is postponed. The BBC are notorious for this but I digress the Arctic ice is rebounding with seemingly,enthusiasm. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2008/10/1...till-climbing/ Just thought I'd make this point. Thanks Lawrence, just keep those points of view and other information coming. I'm not entirely convinced that the planet is heading for disaster either, despite undisputable warming. Will -- |

The "disaster" is a nice straw man, but I'm not sure anybody believes that no summer Arctic Sea ice at all will be a disaster. Try telling that to the Polar Bears! Graham Penzance |

Dave No Dave it didn't occurr to me that she was the best actress for the job, not in a million years. Taking your logic a step further, how about Hugh Grant playing the part of Nelson Mandella, now that would cause riots amongst the Guardinista's . As for "I don't recall the line in the novel "Bill Sikes' girlfriend, the poor white girl, Nancy" Silly me I forgot the novel Winston Twista was set against the backdrop of the Notting Hill Carnival.. |

What they'll do is adapt. They'll take to sunning themselves in the summer, outside the Macdonalds in Churchill and feeding on the leftovers. |

Morgan Freeman as God!?? (Bruce Almightly)
Alanis Morissette as God!?? (Dogma) George Burns as God!?? (Oh God!) Didn't you know that gods don't exist? So it doesn't matter who plays it as they are playing something that is non-existent anyway. No problem methinks. Agreed about the Summer of 2008, what a load of pretence that was. ________________ Nick. Otter Valley, Devon 83 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |

Otter Valley, Devon 83 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk I'm of the same opinion, Nick, but the post was in the context of fictional characters and who played them, was it not? Anyway, on that basis why make a comment about Summer of 2008 which itself was practically fictituous in the context of what we hope a summer will be!!! ;-) (what a way to go off-topic!) Joe |
