The company I work for has pushed through a slew of CPI's on the goods we produce, and there's more to come too. All of them have been in the +20%-30% range. In the years I've worked there, I've never known a reduction. Whilst the supermarkets may want to be competitive, they will always have to...
Probably not. The Universe is still expanding, so those very distant galaxies will get further and further away until, theoretically anyway, they disappear from view as their recession velocity exceeds that of light. We could maybe do it for stars within our own galaxy, but if we survive long...
I was sitting along the row to your right with my family. We had a thoroughly good time. We brought a small picnic and a bottle of wine. Forgot to bring cushions, though.
We love BOAT and go numerous time every year. My son does a show there every year with his Youth Theatre group. We have had...
Too far gone for that, I'm afraid. With our current understanding, the furthest back we could see is about 370,000 years after the Big Bang, when recombination happened. Before then, the Universe was just a hot plasma that was opaque to EM radiation, so the mean free path between particles was...

When my mum passed away, this is what the man she was married to did. He sold their home, had the cat put down and bought a static home on a site down in Cornwall. Sounds idyllic, right? The place was a shithole, it was over 55's, no dogs, only 1 cat per home allowed, no kids allowed. When he...
I remember watching a 40+ year old Jimmy Case dominating games and barely moving more than 6 yards side to side and never breaking into anything more than a jog.
