    Think positive - there is no Dark Side of the Moon!!

    in Random thoughts and small-talk

    Posted

     
    The so-called "dark side of the moon" is simply the side of the moon that we never see, when viewed from Earth. One Luna "day" is equal to one Luna "year" - (the time it takes the moon to complete one full orbit of the Earth...) So we never get to see the so-called "dark side of the moon" unless we go up there in a space ship! Moral of the story? The Dark Side of the Moon is nothing more than the side of the moon that we never get to see - due to our narrow, restricted, earth-bound perspective...

    I don't know why they don't just start in the middle. Miss a few pages. Then do the back. Then carry on somewhere near the 1st page. But never straight away on the 1st page... (Leave that one, until the rest of the passport is completely chockers...) 😭

    Maybe we should put cling film, or something, on all the pages we DON'T want them to stamp?!!

    What is it, with Immigration Officers?!!

    'Brand new passport..

    I now have an entry stamp for Thailand on the 2nd page... (Electronic gates on exit).

    And an entry stamp for the Philippines on the 3rd page.

    The 1st page is, OF COURSE, completely blank! 🤔🤔🙄😏

    GOOGLE-MICROSOFT

     

    In the first year after I retired from FT work, July 1999 to July 2000, Google officially became the world's largest search engine. With its introduction of a billion-page index by June 2000 much of the internet's content became available in a searchable format at one search engine. In the next several years, 2000-2005, as I was retiring from PT work as well as casual and most volunteer activity that had occupied me for decades, Google entered into a series of partnerships and made a series of innovations that brought their vast internet enterprize billions of users in the international marketplace. Not only did Google have billions of users, but internet users like myself throughout the world gained access to billions of web documents in Google

    They have their uses!!

    Where are the People of Vision?

    So... Just at the very time when Japan was starting to build it's first Shinkansen - the Tokaido Shinkansen, (or "New Trunk Line"), for high speed trains between Tokyo and Osaka - we had the Transport Minister of the day, (the so-called "motorway construction king" Earnest Marples), very ably assisted by his puppet, Beeching, slashing our railway network to pieces and ripping out our finest mainline from the Midlands to the Capital.

    I've got a question for you admin..

    I already have 10 posts. Is it ok for me to post my signature now?

    Would you ban me if I do so?

    I was just asking, because I've already encountered a lot of forum sites that if I post my signature with less than 10 posts made,they instantly banned me in their forum site. And I can do nothing about it.

    The "Photography Course" link in your signature doesn't work.

    It appears to be a dead link. ("Not Found")

    Please update your signature block with a live link.

    I will remove the existing link from your signature block as I can't have too many dead links on the site. (It's bad for my search engine rankings...)

    Where are the People of Vision?

    in General discussion

    Posted

    I was going to entitle this thread "Where are the Men of Vision", simply because the person that I had in mind was the late, great Sir Edward Watkin (26 September 1819 – 13 April 1901) - who, as far as I am concerned, was one of the last and, indisputably, among the greatest visionaries that this planet has ever known.

     

    You can do a Google search, just as easily as I can. But, just to make it easy for you, you can click on this, if you want to know more:

    Wikipedia - Sir Edward Watkin

     

    Frankly, I really don't mind whether the next great visionary - if ever there is one - is, female, male, gender neutral,  LGBTQ (or whatever they call it) - as long as they revive HS2 and basically reroute it, as closely as humanly possible, along the route of the former London Extension of the Great Central Railway.

     

    All linked in to the Channel Tunnel, of course - exactly as Sir Edward Watkin had it all schemed-out in the 1890's!!
