just goes to show in the grand scale of events how irrelevant the affairs on earth really are.

Oh, do come along Neil, please....a man of your calibre can't fathom that out?

The two nebulae are actually part of the same ionized cloud, that much is obvious.  When viewed through a double water cooled Quark destroyer, it should automatically 
be seen to have twenty three split atoms, seventeen of which comply to dark division theorem.

And finally, between them is a foreground dust cloud which can be seen in the background without the need to use anything stronger, this could be construed as an act of war on a simple device designed for peaceful applications such as dark matter simulation and theoretical quad elliptical construction at the split centre of deep space telegraphy waves.


Simples...

Hi Geoff

Local to you - then you had probably seen them before or have better ones?
I love to see old images of places. The people who maintain these local history websites do us all a great favour.
So many little sites I have looked at have been built from family albums with family associations mentioned too.
When I did my BA I struggled between choosing literature or history. Now my lit course is finished I might join
the local history society.................... though I won't find many boats in Huyton's one.

Hi Dave & Neil, I was looking at the picture which I liked very much, ( I like space exploration) & the thought came to me ,We know so much & yet so little. What a wonderful world. Mick B.

Dave I believe someone interested in our local history collated a number of these photos and had them printed up in book form
There are many of the old fishing fleet and back to the times when coal was shipped out of Amble - I have seen one with about
30 sailing brigs either loading or waiting to take on coal in what is a tiny harbour.
pictured below is what the place looks like now.

Thanks Geoff - very pretty - and colour coordinated too.

Hey Mick - that would be wonderful universe mate - it's out of this world .............. I did used to have the Crab Nebula as my desktop in work until IT forced all computers to display the company logo as desktop.

Anyway I am just off to get some advice on my first tx/rx because I am useless - all I had to do was reverse a servo and the rest had been set up. Doh
