Anton Redman

On the Feasibility of Coal-Driven Power Stations by Otto Robert Frisch (1904-1979) Jacksonian Professor of Natural Philosophy - Cambridge University (In Commemoration of the 70th birthday of Niels Bohr, October 7th 1955) Read it once years ago and always assumed it was a short story by Asimov or Heinlein. Still find it both funny and apposite- http://www.mpoweruk.com/coal.htm Note references to Thorium which I still believe is thy way to go for nuclear power.  

The Hindenberg exploded because they changed the formula for the dope which rendered the outer fabric gas tight. This in turn led to pools of water accumulating which in turn conducted the charge generated with the airship was earthed. I still believe that if the R101 had not been built the R100 would have been a commercial success. Checkout the current Dreamliner problems for dificulties with batteries. I am pretty sure that if somebody suggested replacing fuel cells with petrol tanks the safety lobby would be down on petrol tanks like a tonne of bricks

Charging time from a 16 amp socket is 9 hours. 3 phase 63 amp takes 30 minutes to an 80% charge and I believe 3 hours to full charge. It is a greener solution in France where 80% of electricity is nuclear or Finland which is mainly hydroelectric. In the UK I bet its full life pollution is no better than a diesel Clio. I bet hydrogen fuel cells will be leading the market within ten years. Unless they are shackled with totally discriminatory versus petrol fuel tank safety requirements. http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/150202-first-production-hydrogen-fuel-cell-cars-hit-the-market-from-hyundai Forgot to mention Henry Ford bought a new electric car for his wife each year. Keep meaning to buy Cecil Brown's Stagolee Shot Billy to see if the reference to the electric car is contemporay or a latter addition. Sorry correction electric car reference is Duncan & Brady rather than Stagolee.

You would not believe how much happier I am becuase I no longer have a pool

Thermal overload and capacitor permenantly installed. Give it time to dry off. If you are lucky it will work. If can safely isolate from the mains might be worth opening it and drying with a haitdryer. If not time will tell.

The old design was banned from 1st January 2012.  Suggestions below include driving schools, feur verte and other Halfords equivalents, Tabacs etc. http://fr.answers.yahoo.com/question/in ... 839AAkHStO I think everybody still calls them Disque Bleu They changed the old system as part of European harmonisation, so that you can use the disk in other countries and vice versa. The only advantage I can see with the new discs is that it allows varid periods for parking so you can use the disk to limit parking to say half an hour only.

Yes I have read it but when I tried to reply all were returned.

The rights do now top the cost of a new prog because the actors agents negotiated hard at the time against an open door and in 1995 few other TV channels. Equity in particular pushed for high fees for repeats because it ment it was more liklely remakes rather than repeats would happen.  Fast forward to 2013 and there would high fees for acting but relatively low fees for repeats. The classic is Glyn Edwards in the Whinchester Club in Minder. They ran one episode having cut him out before there was a negotiation. The Two Ronnies were not repeated in the UK till Billy Cotton Junior explained they could either have 25% of something or 100% of nothing. The Two Ronnies had shown in Oz for years with residuals based on viewers rather than orignal fees which worked fine The story on the Peter O'Toole version of Geofrey Household's Rogue Mail is that the BBC agreed to destroy the master and all copies after two showings on TV within a year because MGM owned the rights.  My Familly and Other Animals is another example of a programme which was cheaper to remake than repeat

How marvellously Gruniad "This article was amended on 3 April 2013. The original referred to curb-crawling rather than kerb-crawling. This has been corrected." For my input most of BBC output seems to be cloned and built down to a price. The early evening quiz shows, the descendants of Going for a Song, The remakes of Grear Railway Journeys AKA Around the World as Cheaply as Possible. The competition cook stuff.  50 years ago the highlights of my week were 'The Avengers' and 'Univercity Challenge' seems a shame BBC4 have dropped the latter. The cost of rights stopped them repeating 'Our Friends in the North' possibly the best drama they made last century.  

I talked to my French insurance broker, agreed roughly what I was going to buy. Emailed when I had bought it with chassis / VIN number and accepted an Email from them that they were at risk. However I only drove it from the dealers to the docks. Provided you buy a car which is taxed I do not see you having any problems but I would agree the insurance in writing first.

I did not think helmet stickers were on helmets in motorsport for the reason described above. Mid 1970s

Posted in haste. Broadly pre mechanisation in order to intensively farm you needed about one horse per acre in the UK or France and each working horse needed a man controlling it. There were pull factors in the drift from the land such as availability of better paying less arduous factory work. There were also push factors with the increase in mechanisation, combine harvesters and tractors etc increasing the amount of land a man could look after and hence a decrease in farm jobs. The lack of primogeniture in France leading to constant sub division of farms also contributed to their drift from the land being much slower than in the UK. Have a look at the change of population for for instance Vayres in 87 http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vayres_(Haute-Vienne)  

Start point an acre of land needs a horse. Then look at how much latter the drift from the land happended. both 87 and 16 have more homes than work 

Remblais are embankments but they are also the mixture of cracked tiles, smashed concrete etc that are used as hardcore. A cloaque is a cesspoll. So they slope toward the ground and sink. Desrobe also I think means strip or have your facade removed. Beyond me and I sold my multi lingual Dictionary of Civil Engineering when I left France. Sure somebody will do better shortly

Use google in UK to get the brandnames then google.fr for suppliers but 'Aquaboard' is made by La Farge so should be able to order from real builders merchants Like Point P etc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h-WGuz2ql8  

Must be a few in Hereford, two of whom work at M. & S.  Le Monde and a couple of other French Newspapersa are for sale on the day in Sainsburys.

For what it is worth friends of ours set up a business based on paying good money for DA Roses only to see them in CF for half the price they were paying

Am I missing something but why not have a plate made up such as Smithson Trailers Ltd Construction  Feb 1960 Weight 2000 kg Chassis  Muff1960/47    

Maybe the Greek Orthodox have it right. Priests can marry but bishops must be celibate

Check if the part number for LHD lamps is that same as RHD lamps - if so yes Try asking on the UK Volvo Owners Club. Book at CT with contra visite gratuit or ask nicely to just check the lights. My Jaguar X type got through 2 CTs with original headlamps adjuted so it probably will. What does the Driver's Handbook say?

Crude or rough in bost senses of the word?

Might help if you told us make model age and price. I would probably advertise in local paper, France is so big, and population desity so low that you can spend hundredsof Euros going to see a car at the wrong end of the country. As regards cash depends where people live and what evidence they can offer of address etc. You should be able have them make a bank transfer at their bank to your account
