  1. I'd wager that just about any modern English version would defeat Sir Alf's side, based upon fitness alone.
  2. I'd advise him to cram every single chip in his mouth and up his nose, then try to breathe in.
  3. Looking for an away game for hollibobs (Scarborough was fantastic weather a few months ago) - Sussex at Hove, August 29 - September 1 looks likely.
  4. JFK from a different timeline did it - and Lister still didn't get a curry.
  5. Banks, Cohen, Wilson, Stiles, Charlton J, Moore, Hunt, Charlton R, Hurst, Ball, Peters
  6. Too late. Transfer window closes in Janvier.
  7. RED and RED2 on Amazon. You don't need me to review these, do you? The artistic merit of a wombat on speed, just as predictable and just as much fun. Somewhere between 3/10 and 9/10 - depends what you're looking for.
  8. I'm not on any of them. I post my pictures of beer on here.
  9. Can we just call his supporters 'Muskovites'?
  10. Crikey. Someone says one bad thing about Musk and the whole thread explodes quicker than one of his rockets.
  11. I'm actually surprised that more use isn't made of prefabricated or mobile-home type buildings, e.g. portacabins, in areas prone to earthquakes.
  12. There was an interesting article written in the Grauniad which popped up on a feed a little while ago in which the author basically suggested that there are two fundamental obstacles to a two-state solution, and nothing will happen at all in that direction until both are totally removed. The obstacles? Hamas and Netanyahu.
  13. I went to the supermarket today and didn't buy bagels, but I did buy hummus. Must be antisemitic.

    I've seen enough players injure themselves during goal celebrations, so I don't think toning them down is necessarily a bad thing.
  15. At a fraction above absolute zero, coolness will not be an issue.
  16. The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. I'm not sure what the definition for doing the 'over and over bit, getting the same result, changing it and getting a far better result and then reverting back to the original method with the original result is.
  17. Pants pulled down? Sounds like Eton. I wonder which Cabinet minister he is?
  18. There are a few webcams currently focused on the area, but until something pops, there is nothing to see. When it does, scientists will most definitely install cameras in great viewing positions. Volcanism is a major tourist attraction for Iceland. It's also the reason why the country is completely self-sufficient in renewable energy (30% geothermal, 70% hydro-electric). YouTube will carry many feeds - there are also many linked from the Iceland Met Office and the Live From Iceland website. https://livefromiceland.is/
  19. When it pops elsewhere in the dyke basically - and that could be miles from where the current earthquake swarm is located. Magma tends to find the weakest point (a fault usually). Alternatively, it could be a 'failed eruption' and the quakes just fade away to nothing, only to start elsewhere. There are approximately 30 active volcanic systems (and between 130 and 150 volcanoes, active or inactive) in Iceland - the island was formed because it sits upon a volcanic 'hot spot' on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (the position where the North American and Eurasian plates are moving away from each other). Until a couple of years ago, there had been no eruptions in Reykjanes for centuries - then Fagradalsfjall blew its nose. At the time, the Icelandic Met Office said that it could mark the start of many decades of unrest - and that unrest has already manifested itself in three minor eruptions, all in different spots in the area, over the last two years.
  20. Although the quakes are subsiding in intensity, this may not necessarily be a good sign. All of the Reykjanes eruptions in the current cycle (3 in the last couple of years) have followed a similar pattern - massive earthquake swarms with loads of 3+ magnitude as the deeper rocks are forced apart and the dyke forms, then a sustained drop in intensity and magnitude as the pressure drops and the magma starts to fill the newly-formed dyke. Then, the pressure rises again which triggers another burst of earthquake activity. Eventually something snaps - or the eruption fails. This cycle of Reykjanes eruptions can go on for a century or two - and then the area goes quiet for a millennium. The current cycle has only just begun. Nothing can stop it - it is the very mechanism which formed Iceland in the first place (the separation of the North Atlantic and Eurasian plates along the line known as the 'Mid-Atlantic Ridge'.
