Apollo 13 had no lunar landing :oops: That was the one they cocked up. Suzie, if it was all faked, why didn't the USSR just fake their own moon landing? After all, they were great at keeping secrets amongst civilians, just threatened to kill their family. More empty land in the middle of...

Oooh, the recommended order to clear a three-lane motorway! Which begs the question: what if a freakish amount of snow fell on the M25 during a night? There is a section near Heathrow that is 5 or 6 lanes in either direction! I guess they just grit the bu**ery out of it and hope for the...

There is an old saying, that is often uttered when people are trying to fathom the attraction between a couple, when it isn't obvious at first glance. Perhaps the woman is a rocket scientist and the man is stupid. Perhaps the man is short and dumpy and the woman has a perfect body... You...

Damn, if they had made you a junior rat catcher you could have used the nick... (wait for it!) "BOB LOW JOB" :shock: If anyone needs me, I'll be washing my mouth out with soap. :lol: Oh, but £100M. I could spend that. Winning £100K would be nice, but you can't buy and run a yacht...

That's weird, I was just about to name all the planes but the post where Doyle has done that only appears when I go to reply! EF is supreme. According to a chap I know at Warton, they had to ban the test pilots from performing "ballistic take-off" runs. This is the closest thing a...

Oh dear, you've been talking to an Apollo conspiracist, haven't you! :lol: Camera that shot him coming down the lander was on one of the legs of the lunar lander.

With the wealth of expertise and experience on this forum, someone should surely be able to answer this: who grits the sliproads? Tonight it is below freezing round here. As I drove out earlier on, I saw the gritters out in force. Driving back just now, it struck me: the motorway gritter...

http://www.tritonbodydryer.co.uk/ How? By definition a hot air drier INCREASES the moisture in the air! That is why the air is heated, as hot air holds more water than cold air! :lol: Nice demonstration video though :P

I have absolutely no idea what causes this, but I have had this happen once in the past. The fix was to format the hard-disk and install Windows onto the blank disk. If you have vital information on the disk, you might be able to read it by connecting it up to someone else's PC and...

"The Race Card"... Had me all excited there, I thought this was going to be a hot tip for the gee-gees :wink:

I tend to gesticulate in conversation... especially if I'm calling the other guy a to**er or telling him to naff off :wink: Tenuous connection, but I was once explaining the principle of polar coordinates to someone in a busy office, using my right arm to demonstrate... "now if we have an...

I saw Jay Leno on Top Gear I think (might have been something else). He was recounting a story where his aged father told him "Slow the car down, you're going a mile a minute!" He was in fact going MORE than a mile a minute, at 75mph, or 1.25 miles per minute. :lol: It is an old saying...

Looks a little like a wheeler from "Return to Oz!!!

I find it slow to use the full EPG (how long does it take to load those pages!), and also being on a TV screen in large text it doesn't show that much information on each page. The alternative is the EPG you can access whilst watching a channel, but that shows even less information. Also I...

I agree, we could be destroyed by man (virii) or bacteria... or possibly viruses :P (sorry, just being very very pedantic: plural of "virus" is actually "viruses"! :lol: ) I had actually tried to write what Eddie has but I couldn't do it without sounding like a mad eugenicist. One example of...

Softus, perhaps you could give us a tip on how much to tighten the bolts that hold the CC toilet together, to ensure water tightness. Reason I ask is that I silliconed mine as like most DIYers, I was afraid of overtightening and cracking the porcelain. Could be that it is perfect tightness...

With regards to a house transaction, I would rather pay my few hundred quid to the qualified professional and his secretaries than a few grand to a monkey in a shiny suit. Yet we still have estate agents...

You wanna see cute? Look at a wild boar piglet!

Sounds odd, but I eat a veggie's diet with meat in it :P Seriously, I eat a lot of veg. I need to, for the following reason. If I drink a lot of coffee, I get acne. I have found I can prevent this in one of two ways: 1) don't drink coffee 2) eat a lot of fresh fruit and veg Now...
