  1. Can't find any reference to either of the rhyming words to archaic terms for glades. Oh well such is life.
  2. The problem with this statement is that even on Earth this is not true for at the planet's surface and in orbit.
  3. What's the simile behind clearing in the woods?
  4. This type of post is why I started this thread ... I let everyone have their little play first What is the nature of choice? Or in this case "CHOICE". Is choice like when I set my car on cruise control and the car 'chooses' to regulate a certain amount of fuel and air into the carburetor to maintain a certain speed? Here is what I consider to be a fact ... the universe is fundamentally chaotic (in the scientific sense). Football teams, managers, fans and people are part of this universe and are also fundamentally chaotic. Our choices are chaotic. So ultimately Villa's results and individual performances are going to be chaotic.
  5. Warming up ... currently -7 °C
  6. But it's 12:00 pm for me ... so perfect You can drink while watching ... but it's a bit early for me
  7. There's the non metric ones too But ones with a Robertson head are the best ...
  8. He said Villa have been a bit up and down ... true. But predicting based on a pattern? Or at least there was no other analysis.
  9. Speaking of having an uncomfortable piece of information jammed in your face. I'm not sure how voting works in the US ... But it does not appear the Dems controlled the house in 2017
  10. Oh it's the principle of paying for someone else's premiums that is the issue. To be fair ... the wait lists may be longer. I remember as a teenager I was put on a wait list for some ENT surgery. I did not want it or thought I needed it. (My parents were being overly protective). About ten years later I get a letter from the NHS saying they are ready here is an appointment. I politely cancelled the surgery. I suspect in the US it would have happened.
  11. I just googled .... "bernie sanders compared to european politicians" A couple of hits suggested that ... In the European – and particularly the postwar German – political tradition I come from, there would be no question that Sanders is, in fact, a “social democrat.” That is not a radical or controversial label in the least. link That Sanders wants to improve their lot is not in question. Some leftists choose purism over half a loaf, but he tends to vote for what redistributive measures come before him in Congress. He would give Americans universal healthcare, statutory paid leave and other staples of the developed world. This has encouraged the notion that he – and his rival Elizabeth Warren – would Europeanise the US link
  12. The problem with Sanders is that US has moved so far to the "right", now he seems insanely left, whereas in reality he is probably fairly middle of the road. Having said that the "soak the rich" rhetoric always goes down well.
  13. It's actually beginning to really wind me up (ignoring lockdown) that I am finding more and more things that I can now only buy from Amazon or Ebay. You know, just stuff. So many shops and specialist sellers now gone. We also seem to be engaged in a race to the bottom. I live in rural BC ... recently wanted to buy some machine screws ... nothing terribly specialist 10# 32 Scoured the local hardware stores and the specialist bolt and screw shop. Looked at Amazon ... eventually ordered from Lee Valley in Ontario. Two weeks later ... got them.
  14. Those Villa fans are not very forgiving.
  15. My point was the President did not seem to understand the point being made. Whether it much ado or nothing I will let you decide. But the last hour or so I watched this was the thing I noticed and was not aware of. I can't comment on the rest of the proceedings as I did not see them. A part of US politics? If you want my opinion of the last four years, all you have to do is ask.
  16. I watched the end of the proceedings yesterday ... The "President" of the house did no inspire confidence in me.
  17. I did not enjoy the back passes to the goalie though.
  18. Let me positively reinforce your post Mj ... You managed to mention Dean Smith in the pundits thread.
  19. I'm not sure how voting works in the US ... But it does not appear the Dems controlled the house in 2017
  20. Normal Dean Smith service will be resumed as soon as possible.
  21. Two thoughts ... correlation is not causation Trump's policies enriched the ten percent more than the 90%
  22. I have must admit I have mixed feelings about BCFC Most of all my school friends followed BCFC ... I bear them no ill will Similarly, having vibrant football teams is a sign that the region is doing well The dark side of me would not object for BCFC to have a stint in League 1
