message:http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/12/03/ panorama_wifi_fear_wristslap/comments/ 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? |

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 |

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.

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. |

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? |

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. 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 !! Richard |
