There's also graphene. A discovery by Manchester university last decade. Still very much in it's infancy and I don't think they've mastered large scale production but the potential of this material is staggering.

Plenty of people will though you dimwit if its cheaper and available. While you continue to condone US farming practices so long as we're out the EU you can sign as many petitions, join as animal rights groups as you like it doesn't change the fact that you're happily be a hypocrite for...

More sad than clever ;)

That's sort of the point though. Mobile phone has already driven battery technology a million miles. How much further can it be driven now?

I'm starting to think that you're a wind up merchant ;) Scrap lead batteries are worth about £450 a ton at the moment.

You've got good old fashioned British engineered deep cycle wet lead acid batteries that you can maintain yourself. The batteries that are in modern electric cars are all dry cell and "maintenance" free batteries. I think you're safe on the cost of distilled water :) Your batteries are also...

Battery life depends on a few things. Firstly the depth of discharge you take it to. All batteries have a limited number of cycles and the number of available cycles correlates to the depth of discharge. Basically the more energy you take out of a battery in a single discharge the fewer cycles...

Mine already has. I wasn't even squirting rice water in the 70's and I had a vasectomy two years ago :)

I was talking to someone from the battery industry and they recon that there's only enough raw material in the world to keep building lithium batteries at current (no pun intended) levels for another two decades. Lithium batteries are very difficult and expensive to recycle apparently also with...

You welcome the practice then?

"both COVENTRY rugby clubs"? Fucking London franchise lover! :)

I think the courts have it pretty right although I do think that they should be allowed to take him home to die. Let them have that.

Interestingly the US is the forth biggest producer of foie gras and the biggest consumer outside of Europe. In 2004 and 2005, the American Veterinary Medical Association House of Delegates, the US accrediting body of veterinary medicine, was forwarded resolutions from its Animal Welfare...

Good point. One of several reasons why I chose not to vote Tory in the last election. Granted my decision was mostly motivated by economics but it did feel good putting an X in a box that wasn't going to legalise fox hunting.

No one is denying that animal welfare is lower on the continent when compared to the UK numbnuts. We're just pointing out that putting meat on the UK table from the US is lowering the bar. How anyone can claim to be an animal lover and deliberately ignore that for the sake of attempting to win a...

They can if we've given permission to.

I'd take third. I'm not going to allow myself to believe it's possible just yet though so the reality is I'd take scraping into the playoffs on goal difference. To be honest I'd take anything that isn't relegation.

Agree with the OP's sentiment and admire his optimism. Crazy fool ;)
