Whenever I had a sleep in, I got out of bed at 7am. What is it with these so called research people?

Have used Windows media tool on this Laptop to create an ISO for USB which is sitting in Documents.

I can't recall anything like this ever happening before, but King Charles has just redirected 1 billion UK pounds from a crown estate wind farm to be used for the wider public good.
See - I told you lot this King was a good one!

Will be an interesting contest for the next leader of Labour and PM.  Will need to be significant to arrest the decline of the last 12 months.

Incredible.   Does Luxon think we've all forgotten about Woodhouse's disgusting persecution of Claire Curran?  How can someone so childish, vicious and vulgar be in line for a position where he is responsible for good order and civility in Parliament.

You thought that a rainbow was the shape of a bow but all rainbows are a full circle but you never get to see the whole thing. 

The light being reflected out of the water droplets goes in every direction which is why the rainbow is a full circle. To see a full rainbow you need to have water droplets far enough below the sunline so that they can be reflecting light back up from there. Sadly the earth is normally in the way we only have water droplets above us. ItÔÇÖs only when you are in a plane that you have water droplets in every different direction and you see the entire circular rainbow. And thatÔÇÖs why youÔÇÖll never find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, because there isnÔÇÖt one. Rainbows arenÔÇÖt bows - theyÔÇÖre round.

I knew that you would find that interesting

I see the Maori are talking of changing the name of Russell to Kororareka. Interesting, they say Russell has no relevance to the place.

More interesting is when I tried to get a translation of Kororareka there were 2 different ones from 4 translation sites. Two sites said "Fun" and two said "Choke" Interested in the base from which the name was given a couple or more hundred years ago?

Alas, by this analysis, hydrogen proponents seem to be mostly producing hot air and CO2.
There's people on both sides of the "hydrogen as energy storage" discussion making a living out of the discussion, but not a lot of people are using hydrogen at their own expense. Huge subsidies are needed to produce and use the stuff which is currently very far from being the greenest alternative.

Bugger.
