    [News] Petrol and diesel £2 per litre by the end of the year?

    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...

    [News] Petrol and diesel £2 per litre by the end of the year?

    What the betting that the hikes in the prices of goods on the shelves due to all of this won't go back down, as the cost of fuel does?

    [Technology] *** James Webb Space Telescope ***

    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...

    [Humour] BOAT Brighton Open Air Theatre

    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...

    [Technology] *** James Webb Space Telescope ***

    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...

    They are called diffraction spikes. Everything in that photo that has one is a star (effectively a point source). Everything else...is a galaxy... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    The Russians really are full of s**t. "Withdrawn as a gesture of goodwill...", nothing to do with Ukraine shelling the island wih the longer range weapons the West have recently supplied then, oh no... 10:00 Russia confirms withdrawal from Snake Island...

    [Politics] US Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade

    I think some states also prosecute anyone helping a woman to cross a state line to get an abortion.

    [Finance] Equity release

    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...

    [Albion] Pascal Groß the raumdeuter - officially leaves for Dortmund :(

    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.

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    I'd say the best way to ensure a Tory defeat at the next GE is to keep Johnson in office.

    [Albion] So who are we waving goodbye to on Sunday?

    I'm sure he can pick up a bargain down Meadow Road, if he's feeling the pinch at the moment.
