  1. Does that go for men that murder their wives too or is that just for the women?
  2. You have never played with hydrogen.
  3. I think you have an emotional attachment to gas. Liquifying hydrogen is not an easy task. Keeping it a liquid is no mean feat either. I would not like to have a neighbour with tanks of liquid hydrogen on his premises The Fire Brigade and the HSE may also have concerns. Liquid hydrogen - Wikipedia
  4. If you want to burn hydrogen you would need to replace all the gas mains and gas pipes in houses. It seems like hydrogen is not the way to go. Citu - Could hydrogen replace natural gas to heat homes in the UK? - Citu Is Hydrogen The Best Option To Replace Natural Gas In The Home? Looking At The Numbers - CleanTechnica
  5. Where is the hydrogen going to come from? If you are going to say electrolysis of water then it takes the same amount of electricity to split water in to hydrogen and oxygen as it produces when recombined by burning the hydrogen. You may as well just use electric. I was thinking more about just in time supply chains rather than self obsessed idiots.
  6. Talking about cold winters how do you think the country would cope or not with another 1947 or 1963?
  7. The Germans and Swedes are better at it than we are. In Paris there are about 180.000 homes heated with geothermal. Geothermal heat for Malmö/ Sweden from a depth of 7,000m (thinkgeoenergy.com) Electricity needs to be cheaper though. France has 56 nuclear power plants to our eight.
  8. "Well am in the lounge and he is in the kitchen bleeding to death with any luck"
  9. Southampton District Energy Scheme - Wikipedia
  10. More self harm. Government set to bolster supply chains by extending cabotage rights - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) It is about time our HGV drivers got unionised and sat at home until they get the package the want.
  11. Meanwhile up to 800 butchers will be given temporary visas to work in the UK. I would have thought that amongst the 17.4 million who were whinging about people who speak a different language than they would be queueing up for the jobs. I did a search on indeed and there were 81 jobs in the UK for abattoir workers, 28 on cv-library and ONE on Find a Job the DWPs on Job Searching site. Somebody is having a laugh. people say that it is because the jobs don't pay enough. What would the going rat be for killing pigs or standing all day with you hand up chicken jacksies all day? As for lorry drivers the IR35 changes have a lot to do with it according to my trucker chums. One of them makes more money working 9-5 in Screwfix and the Europeans have voted with their feet. Don't forget that a HGV driver in Germany gets an average of 42.447 € per hour. In Denmark it is DKK 164.96 per hour and that includes the driver of ANY truck of ANY nationality being driven inside Denmark. These countries have driver shortages too but they EU has a bigger pool of drivers to chose from. This will get your knickers in a twist. In Norway a trucker gets €47,690 a year for a 7.5 hour 5 day a week job and they get Volvo and Scania trucks to play with. I know that the cost of living is higher in Norway than the UK but I can't see British companies paying truck drivers paying anything like that real soon now.
  12. That was a close shave. Five hurt as car crashes into Walthamstow barber's shop - BBC News
  13. The fastest woman bowler, Lea Tahuhu has been clocked at just short of 80MPH. Do you think copping one of them would be fun? This site is turning into fuddy duddy central.
  14. Another Brexit win. Intel not considering UK chip factory after Brexit - BBC News Cue all the apologists explaining how we don't need a filthy fab plant in the UK.
  15. People blame the EU for driving down lorry drivers wages. The "government" can set any minimum wage it likes. Truckers in Denmark are on about 22 Euros an hour. Denmark is in the EU. Strange to me that the 17.4 million that were whinging about Johnny Furriner nicking their jobs are not queuing up to gut chickens and turkeys for less than a tenner an hour, or living in a stinking caravan on a farm to harvest fruit and vegetables for a pittance.
  16. That is what happens when people vote for a bunch of right wing scum bags posing as a "Liberal" party. People deserve the government they vote for. It can be changed at the ballot box.
  17. I have done the same thing myself but not in quite a so dramatic fashion. It is not the first time I walked off a ship or took one look and did not walk up they gangway in the first place.
  18. Every time I have tried using maggots for mullet I only catch schooly bass.
