    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    Possibly. But what a pessimistic viewpoint.

    Who could/should you have supported?

    Born in Coventry. Brought up in Coventry. First game at Highfield Road. Taken to Highfield Road by my Dad whenever he could get free tickets from work for years between 1970-76. Started going to Highfield Road with friends from school from 1977. So by rights I should be a Man Utd fan.

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    Ghosts; out of body experiences; astrology; witchcraft; religion; aromatherapy; numerology; spirit guides; auto-writing; socialism; phrenology; fortune telling; faith healing; scientology; tarot cards... absolutely - all complete bollocks. But extra-terrestrial life is different. IMO.

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    No worries re opinions not meeting - nobody knows do they? I'm interested in other dimensions. I don't buy the parallel universes stuff - seems to be fanciful to me; but I can imagine other dimensions that we cannot perceive which might explain why the Universe is accelerating - or indeed what...

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    Extraterrestrial life of some description is a virtual certainty in my opinion, with or without this new report. Of all the planets in the Universe, given that we see life next to volcanic streams in the ocean and in the Arctic/Antarctic, there muse be one that could spawn microbes at the very...

    Josh Sims? If further south than Chelsea must be Saints or Bournemouth.

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    It's human nature to be competitive. Competition drives advancement and that sometimes leads to being divisive and petty. It's equally likely that another intelligent race might have exactly the same issues.

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    There was an article in the Telegraph a week or so ago reporting on comments from a former head of a US government programme. Google shows me that it was also reported in other broadsheets. Existence of extra-terrestrial craft 'proved beyond reasonable doubt', says former Pentagon X-Files...

    Cryptocurrencies

    Yes, businesses pay transaction fees (albeit usually within a package of 100 txns per month for £x). Individuals do not. I don't know if cryptocurrencies have txn fees but I'd bet even if they do not today they will have. Add to that the fx risk and money still wins. Where are you getting...

    Cryptocurrencies

    I never invest in anything I don't understand and I don't understand the appeal of cryptrocurrencies. However, if I were to invest in them, it wouldn't be a bet on which one of them eventually succeeds. I'd buy a basket of many of them as a fund. But I wouldn't do that either at the moment as...

    Cryptocurrencies

    Pretty much as I thought - still cannot see the point. Everyone can all already make real time secure transactions with no bank charges, and they can be micro (as small as 1 penny). And if it evades tax that's illegal. Bitcoin has fallen another 8% today. I think it's a double bull trap...

    Cryptocurrencies

    Can you explain to me why you think so? Genuine question because I don't get it. I understand it is useful for criminals wanting anonymity on the internet - but that's hardly a big market (I hope) - not big enough to make investors lots of money (and not the kind of thing that I would...

    Cryptocurrencies

    It's following the typical bubble profile. The first fall has now taken place and we are in the dead cat bounce stage (a small increase for a period). Next is the big fall all the way back to where it started. This is the graph of bitcoin versus GBP for the last year (before that it flatlined...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Of course, and to express it. Just as those who judge others have the right to express their opinions. The question isn't one of rights, it's about whether it is a pleasant trait to supress the rights of others, even if it is only with words.
