The UK and France already have considerable military budgets and capabilities to add to the EU pool. A shame one of them had to fuck everything up.

Hence my enclosing Freedoms in single quotes. I tend to communicate quite drily - that's often hard to put across online.

On my walk to work this morning, I detoured down a local main street, curious to see what shops were considering themselves 'essential' and remaining open. Apparently this time around, travel agents and jewellery sellers have adde

I know we don't like 'Reddit-esque' pointless posts like the one I'm about to make, but I really enjoyed the author's use of 'hyperbolic chamber'. Bravo! - ed. and it didn't deserve the preëmptive foo

Western countries were the first colonialists? Britain may have industrialised 'first', but its first-mover advantage was more down to sitting on comparably huge coal reserves than anything else. Elsewise, the Chinese dominance of

For some reason I have it in mind as growing in much the same conditions as tea does. If so, lots of Africa and Asia could get in on the act too.

I was discussing this with a friend the other night. I can envisage a future where plastic packaging is all entirely standardised and left as virgin as possible for recycling - no dyes, no printed elements or thin film decoration. Instead,

The problem with plants is that other people can grow them. If Colombia makes this work, other countries will be looking on with interest. What actual advantage would an incumbent such as Colombia have over upstart competitors? Seems like a

I'd like to think that the near future will allow large space-based solutions in place of Earth-based and increasingly radiowave-polluted ones. A far-side moon solution's probably still quite a way off, but I wonder if some sort o

Oh, it does? I sorta skimmed thorugh and zoned out when it started getting intimate with number sequences, so did a quick search for 'tent' and 'construction' and didn't find anything. RTFA, detritus!

Some kind of fixture for positioning joists in some sort of field tent construction? - ed wee knobs could be for insertion into canvas or hides, which are they tightly bound outside?

I was actually always under the impression that MJF was a cocaine user back in the day and that cocaine use had been associated with Parkinson's onset - and I have never in any way thought of this as judgmental. I'm not a big fan

Mm, there's a world of difference between, say, 7g of Cyanescens and the same dry weight of a Cubensis.

Yeah, having driven on Italian motorways - my experience is the exact-opposite of what the law supposedly encourages.

General amusement, historical quirkiness, an interesting ad hoc linguistic interoperability framework (between two quite thoroughly-distinct languages) - lots of reasons :) Agur! (It's been too long since I visited your country - such

I thought the pitot tube 'failed' by getting iced up? I'm not sure of that's a common thing to happen though. Obviously the subsequent decisions were what ultimately led to the disaster.

This is exactly what I thought, so I have a brand new £55 Brother laser printer sitting at home, ready to be opened and tested! I did have a cheapo Samsung laser printer many years ago, and it was great. Not sure why I reverted to bloody in

Given how messy that POD concept was when I looked at it upon release a couple of years back, I'm going to suggest that the answer to the headline is 'No'.

I think it's as much to do with the flatness as it is the sheer hardness. If interior floors were cobbled and at angles, our feet would be required to work a lot more and our stance would change to fit. We'd also probably wear thi

I do most note-taking on paper. Problem with paper is that it's not searchable, as I discovered to my cost trying to find some specific reference details for a job I did last year and am repeating today. My problems are probably more d

Thanks - I've played around with tertiary inputs a couple of times over the years, from MIDI-based level boards to a '3D' input device for CAD. The speech recognition would be, I think, ideal for function interactions harder
