I thought the Jesus juicer had cured all known human diseases?

Just a bit of friendly advice, you might want to list the size, colour and clarity of the diamond in the advert as it can make a huge difference to the value

IMO there are too many variables to give you a sure answer, e.g how long have the sellers been waiting for a sale, how desperate are they to move, is the house under / over priced to start with, how much do they need the money etc etc.

The same goes for your situation really, would you be heartbroken if you lose out on this particular house or would you just move on and look for another one? We bought our house about six months ago, had an offer rejected and went straight back in with another one £2k higher which was accepted... wasn't exactly a tough negotiation on our part but we fell in love with the place when we saw it, so we felt it was worth the higher offer.

My my no need to be hostile...

 

I am all for advancement in medicinal science to improve the living standards of all mankind. However, you need to think when boundaries are being pushed to the extreme. Artificial cells? Artificial DNA? Is there a limit?

 

I believe you would agree in animal cloning as well since the process basically creates superior breed of animals?

 

Can I ask if you are an atheist btw? You seem to have a very deep hatred for the word "God".

Your second post doesn't seem to tie in with your first, you claim to be all for the advancement of medical science but an operation that saves a young man's life (who has a baby daughter), is unacceptable because it is playing god?

Here, have some punctuation, no really, i insist, its on me.......,,,,.....,,,....,,,,......

Oh, the irony.

May be a silly question but are your insurance company involved too? They should be fighting your corner to get his insurance to pay out.

Personally I find it easy to distinguish police cars from plumbers, AA vans, security vans etc by their blue flashing lights rather than orange ones!

We stayed in Kalamaki about 3.5 years ago, the place was lovely, nice restaurants, sensible prices, good selection of bars, friendly locals etc. The bars even had double glazing to pull across the entrance at midnight to keep the street quiet, we loved it. We walked along the beach to Laganas one day and it was chav central, a bottle of soft drink cost about £4, it was full of shops selling typical tourist crap and fast food restaurants. At that point we could've been in Ibiza, Aya Napa, Magaluf etc, the place had no character. I'm being hypocritical considering I used to go on such holidays, but I really hope the clubbing / boozing croud get bored of Zakynthos and leave before it loses everything that's good about it.

Oh, and enjoy your holiday

It was free, made me feel a bit guilty about leaving sky almost immediately afterwards! We went from a communial dish to a standard one too.

I transferred mine recently and it was surprisingly easy. They installed the new dish exactly when promised and I didn't need to start a new contract - which makes it really easy to switch to freesat in a few months time if you want to leave sky.

I bought a Yale wireless alarm from screwfix, very easy to install, surprisingly cheap and the add ons like key fobs etc are excellent. You can add extra bits to it easily. If i wasn't on my phone i'd post a link :-)

I'm glad you got a good result..... there's no need to thank everyone for their advice

It was on the Stephen Hawkings 'universe' program where he explained that nothing would exceed lightspeed, he also theorised that the expansion would eventually slow, then reverse back again. Compressing into a huge super mega monster black hole where everything would be sucked back in, then explode out again......big bang all over again.

IIRC not exceeding light speed is a part of the theory of general relativity, speeding up increases an object's mass which in turn increases the energy needed to accelerate it further - and the mass just keeps on rising as you approach light speed meaning enough energy doesn't exist in the universe to accelerate something beyond it. But all this is based on objects that exist in the universe, not the speed of expansion of the universe itself.

It's not to do with anything being accelerated beyond the speed of light though, it's just that gravity is too great for light to escape so we can't see what's in there from outside.

Sounds like I've misunderstood it then In that case leaving aside my bad analogy of black holes, I don't see any reason why the universe's expanding couldn't exceed 'C'.

IIRC it is a black hole's mass that pulls light (and everything else) into it, not the speed at which things may or may not be travelling at.

Yes, the black hole's mass warps the space around it.

Very interesting stuff, but his final theory is flawed according to other programs I've seen. He states that the rate of acceleration regarding the expansion of the universe will eventually outrun light, leaving the sky black. But other theories have shown that it is impossible for anything to exceed the speed of light. you can get to 99.99% of the speed, but never exceed it.

I think you've misunderstood general relativity a bit, my understanding is that nothing in the universe can accelerate beyond the speed of light, but the universe itself can expand as quickly as it likes - it already happens in the event horizon of black holes, the space is warped so severely that light is pulled into it. Think of it like objects on a table - they can't exceed a certain speed on the table's surface, but there's nothing stopping me pulling the tablecloth around at a larger speed.

Draw their attention to the bit in the warranty where it says '6 weeks to repair', not '6 weeks to respond'.

Ask them if they quality checked their work before sending a still broken laptop back out to a customer and if they did, ask them what action they'll be taking against the member of staff who signed it off as repaired. Also ask them if they keep records of faulty goods that are returned to them, from this they should be able to see that your laptop has now been returned to them twice with exactly the same problem (and hence hasn't been fixed within the 6 weeks). Hpoefully they'll repond with 'eeermm.... ahhh....'

But your allowed to do that if the road markings and signings permit.

Yes of course you are if the markings permit.

My pet hate is the huge number of people who use the right hand lane of a roundabout to go straight on, usually because they're cutting ahead of the queue in the left lane.

Afternoon everyone, I know this is a car forum not my personal yell.com but oh well If anyone knows of a reliable electrician in the Witham / Braintree area of Essex please let me know - After getting fed up with contractors who are incapable of turning up when promised I thought asking on here might get me somewhere!

Whilst driving around town yesterday evening, I spotted a Vauxhall Zafira without any lights on at all

With no lights on at all the dashboard wouldn't have been lit up either, meaning she can't have glanced at her speedo at all!

I must be missing something here, if a bid costs £1 but only puts up the auction price by 1 pence, then the 'amount' quoted at the end of the auction is a completely arbitary figure, and doesn't bear any resemblance to the amount that the winner actually paid for it? E.g if I bid a hundred times on an item that has 5,000 other bids put on it, the 'winning bid' would be £50 but I've already paid £100?

Blimey you can tell a lot about the state of a country by looking at the number of instances of broken headlight bulbs I've been driving around recently with one, no idea how long for..... because I didn't notice.. My entire drive to work / back home is on streetlit roads.

My cat's breath smells like cat food.

Sorry.
