Some people have told us they go to sleep listening to our show. I take it as a compliment.

Fair points. But compare the size of Alan Turing's computer in the 1940s to the gradual miniaturised computers - far more powerful - that you carry in your pocket. Even compare it to the desktop computers just 30 years after he made his first computer. This time around, with precedent in...

:facepalm:

In order to make it worthwhile, yes it would. The technology is still very expensive now. Besides, any underwater instruments will render the river unpassable except at the time of the highest tides.

Not if the engine were designed that the battery was (a) the size of a current battery and (b) easily accessible. Either snap-in/snap-out, or removable only with the turn of the key of the car. The first thing most industrialised organisations do once they realise they have a functioning...

Given that it damn-near drains out to nothing at low tide, where would you suggest putting the machinery?

I think that, even now, electric car manufacturers are missing a trick. At present, most people's concern - and part of the whole culture of driving - is in not running out of fuel. And with a petrol station rarely more than 10 miles away, even in rural areas, you'd do well to cock up your fuel...

Unless the science has changed dramatically in the past five years or so, hydrogen is still way behind the curve compared to electric. A former family member is a scientist in Oslo working specifically on hydrogen fuel cell technology. To get cars to run efficiently on hydrogen is fairly easy...

Well, herein lies the start, we hope...

It doesn't hold water because some people are using a virtue (being able to play in three different positions) as a form of criticism. So no, empty criticism of a positive, dextrous set of skills, ideas and versatility doesn't have any meaning. Put it this way, is every player defined by one...

Anyone with those antiquated beliefs will always bawl loudly on the back of such shallow reasoning.

A point of view that doesn't hold any water, and is utterly meaningless. Fancy criticising a manager for utilising a player who plays well in three different positions.

The biggest shock to me was no mention of Doris Stokes.

YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND? To many of us of a certain vintage, former fanzine editor, campaigner, activist and phone-in host Ian Hart has often been seen as a larger-than-life, and (in his own words) a 'full-on', character. The life and soul of many an Albion gathering, with a smile, a glint in his...

Happy 60th Birthday, Nelse...

Happy 40th Birthday, Bob.

Rampion Hard With A Vengeance

The people who run Rampion Wind Farm, responding to the Government's plans to increase renewable energy production, have launched an informal consultation for 'Rampion 2', another wind farm in the Channel, adjacent to the current one, and of no more than 116 turbines (the same size as the...

They're not the only catering contractors to schools.

Well, I learned something today. The standardisation of vaccine safety data is called 'The Brighton Collaboration', and is named after the location of the 'Vaccine Conference' - i.e. Brighton in 1999. Doctor Robert Chen addressed the conference on the necessity of a uniform approach to vaccine...
