Events celebrated to excess often result in non-events

Sinbad: Someone is now bored - and desperate!

From the baby's point of view, I would say yes. That's why I pointed out the need to simulate the mother's heartbeat. There may be other effects too. Do hormones cross the placental barrier? :?: :?: :?: The other side of the coin is that there would be no alcohol or nicotine in an...

True, even though we do it all the time. Did it begin with agriculture? Or did we start even earlier when we accidentally burnt down a forest somewhere? :oops: :oops: :oops: If past experience is anything to go by, our ability to bend nature to suit our needs has often run well ahead of...

I don't know. :? :? :? It's one of the reasons I asked the question - and why I really need some women to reply.

In a different post, I proposed the idea of an artificial womb and suggested that it might be possible to construct such a device in the not too distant future. The concept is simple enough: a membrane or substrate of some sort into which a placenta will attach itself as if it was the real...

Isn't that how all businesses work? If the demand is there, the price goes up until the supply increases to counter the trend, which is something that hasn't really happened with vets. The demand in this case comes from people who, on average, have a lot more money to spend on their pets...

Retrospective analysis will nearly always predict past events.

There used to be a sign on one of the treatment room walls around here. It said: How very true! A few days ago, our daughter rang up (from London) to tell me that the Quo were playing at Wembley Arena next March and would I like to come too. I hesitated at first but our other half wasn't...

Ours is somebody called Vera, or so I'm told. So, if you're reading this, 'Allo Vera! :lol: :lol: :arrow:

Well I've finally gotten around to watching the last episode of Andrew Marr's History of the World and I have to say that the future looks a little uncertain. It would appear that, all through the so called Age of Enlightenment, we were busy selling slaves to money grubbing American landowners...

At least she wasn't from mumsnet. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I did vote - but not for any of the candidates on offer because every single one of them was attached to a political party. :x :x :x It's the first time I've actually felt the need to spoil a ballot paper. Our son is at university in Leeds and he chose to vote there because two of the...

Let's clarify a few things here: 1) Everybody seems to have worked out that the longest hole is a diagonal. So far so good. 2) Most have realized that the volume of wood removed is less than a cylinder of that length because of the pointy ends - and it's those ends that are the problem...

The first stage in the process is the electrolytic splitting of urea into hydrogen, nitrogen and water. So two questions arise: where does the carbon go and, more importantly, how much electricity is consumed in this process. :?: :?: :?: To determine whether the device can possibly work...

Nice one! 8) 8) 8) My thoughts exactly. More to the point, they could hardly fail to dance better if they really were lovers. For those who aren't - and I would guess that's most of them - it must be difficult, even for a professional, to put all such thoughts out of your mind and...

It's Friday the ninth today. :? :? :?
