The Panorama production team have followed BBC editorial policy both to the
letter and in spirit. They have created a public outcry about something that does
not damage the current government and distracted attention from many other
stories that the BBC now lacks the courage to carry.

Since the Iraq war / dodgy dossier fiasco the BBC is little more than the
Downing Street press office obediently parroting whatever fabricated
propoganda the politicians want us brainwashed with this week.

The days of the BBC engaging in anything that resembles 'journalism' or
'investigative reporting' are well and truly over, as should be their licence
fee, oh, sorry, the government tell them whether they can have that
and how much don't they...

Richard


I quite agree.

Why didn't you say you were a fan?

Oh you desperate desperate individual - making out people said things
that they didn't. How sad. Thanks for the chat, and apologies to all
on here for trying to enter into sensible conversation with this utter
fruit-loop. Kindly take your utterly pathetic BBC obsessions
elsewhere.

Richard

Who do you think you are? God? The Special One? LOL :-)


Whoever he thinks he is, that's a wonderfully mixed ornithological
metaphor!


Troglodytes are people who live in holes, hence the scientific name of
the wren, which makes a spherical nest often in a nook or cranny, is
Troglodytes troglodytes. An eyrie is the name given to a nest of, e.g.,
an eagle, placed high up, e.g., in a tree or on a cliff ledge.


You mean you really can't see it?
Well there's a surprise!


All I can see is someone rather muddled in their thinking - or at least
in their writing about their thinking. Care to have another go at
explaining what you were trying to say when you kept mentioning "lunar
phases"?


Care to make with the shekels?


Care to make with an explanation of what you were trying to say when you
kept mentioning "lunar phases", or do we conclude that you can't, either
because you don't know or because you now realise you weren't expressing
yourself very well?


Out of the above plethora I seem to have mislaid your quote of my
saying anything of that sort. I might even waive my fee.

Oh, yes...

And a little respect wouldn't come amiss.

In fact a lot less insolence might even do the job. I don't expect an
explanation of why I MUST tell anyone anything, never mind leave open
the bank vaults for inspection.

But really someone on this newsgroup aught to pour a little lotion
Piers Morgan's way first, do you not think?

You can wa(i)ve what you like, but here are my original questions and
comments about your statements/claims:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
WL:9. Another synergy occurs when tow or more similar lunar phases run
together.


MAO:
Eh?

We've only one moon which has four phases which follow each other in an
ordered fashion. How can two of them "run together"?

WL:



11. On several occasions a run of lunar phases at similar times have
been followed by one or two different ones in a sequence that
repeated.


MAO:
I'm beginning to think that you are using the phrase "lunar phase" to
mean something other than full, last quarter, new, first quarter. If you
are, perhaps you could enlighten us.

WL:

This occurred a few times this year and may well have
occurred frequently in recent years but I was unaware of the anomaly.


MAO:
Our moon's phases, using the commonly understood meaning of the word, do
not have "anomalies".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------

You have yet to answer any of my questions above or respond to the
points I've made about "lunar phases". Perhaps you would be so kind as
to do so and not indulge, as you did last time, in childish abuse and
name-calling.


And here is my answer to you:

Yes, well, that merely confirms my view that you and your
unsubstantiated, and often incoherent, claims about weather are a waste
of space.


Move along, nothing to see here !!
