"At least 2 to try & hijack the thread into a private chat!" Au contraire Mike, you can now get LED replacements for standard light bulbs, and if you choose to fit them, you wouldn't have to change those old ones out as often. Had Jeffers and I spun off and dribbled on about using DMX contollers to change lighting then you may have had a point. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Pics are up now, weren't earlier when I checked. Saskia is working on the video, but she's probably having a busy time of it right now! http://www.theworldteam.com/ Good work girl.

Awesome, can't wait to see the pics. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. Thomas Jefferson

Moves forward? Relative density of helium and air, sloshing air causes the balloon to be propelled forward as the air is sloshed at the back?

God only knows how many to discuss... "I'm a light bulb changer...and proud of it" -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. Thomas Jefferson

If more people used long life bulbs you simply wouldn't have so may light bulb threads, its a plain and simple fact, anyone can Google the stats.. You'd also need a couple of posts discussing the pros and cons of LED lighting, cold cathode technology, and other low energy forms of illumination. Candle users would be scorned as being environmentally irresponsible, 'wax guzlers' if you will..... Then there are the perennial issues surrounding the Bill Of Lights . -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

I think nobody is denying a country the 'right' to develop peaceful and autonomous nuclear power. The problem is...nobody trusts Iran in this instance. Furthermore, there just isn't a diplomatic way of saying it to the Iranians.. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"Some how I have a hard time seeing you as as "Mac the Man"...... Prison Guard." True, true... A different part of Halliburton as well. The part I work for is about to be the subject of a managementt buy out, so your stock might go up a wee bit.

Oh goody, more overtime for me. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. Thomas Jefferson

"However, until I'm queen, that won't matter to anyone but me, will it.

"Did you see that ex Irish Guards Colonel (forgot his name) talking about being accused of possessing an AK47 during his tour in Iraq? Too funny" Missed that one Mike, but I was quietly choking on my bacon butties at the weekend, as the Scotland On Sunday poured out a tale of woe regarding failure of kit in Iraq. 'The SA80's not cheap... it's just built cheap." Aye hurts to agree... what did the upgrade cost 93 million or something like that? And they still don't work properly! -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Big up to the Kiwis for offering the aid, but offering dried food to a drought stricken region...? For years we have been trying to stop powdered milk for the young ones being sent in similar circumstances. Using dirty water to mix up baby milk is probably not going to improve the stuation..... As for biting the hand that feeds.... Its not entirely dissimillar to the aid rejected by the US during the Katrina crisis last year. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4349916.stm -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

I think you could add to the benefits of having a monarch in an ambassador type role as well. We don't need to send our Tiny out glad handing with foreign diginitaries etc. Lets face it, 60p, thats the price of a can of Coke in our office vending machine, so not bad value for money.

"If you're suddenly struck by some guy blowing through a red light, would you rather be riding in an SUV or a VW Rabbit?"
