BEDROCK

Apparently, Brazil have cheated their way through the tournament so what did they do to deserve this?

Feel so sorry for the Brazil fans, they booed them off at half time

Forget Brazil, it's just like watching Germany, hurts saying that !!!

Brazil have been obliterated, feel sorry for the fans now, they must be destroyed !!!

Bloody hell, Brazil are out already, blimey !!!

As the molten rock that formed the surface of the young earth began to cool and solidify, gases bubbled up out of the seething interior of the globe and escaped into the atmosphere that surrounded it. Here they collected together into great clouds of water vapor. When these clouds became heavy enough, the moisture condensed and began to fall back to earth in the form of rain. But the surface was still red-hot, and as the falling rain-drops approached it, they boiled away and returned into the upper atmosphere as vapor.

 

You can see how this happened by heating a griddle on a stove. When the griddle is hot, slowly drop water on it from an eye-dropper. You will see that as the drops of water touch the hot surface of the griddle, they immediately boil away as steam vapor.

 

So, for probably millions of years, the earth was surrounded by a heavy blanket of rain clouds that was many miles in thickness - endlessly condensing, falling as rain, and then being being boiled back up into the sky again.

 

Then, slowly, the earth's crust hardened and cooled. And at last the surface rocks became so cool that their heat would no longer boil water. And the rain that had been collecting for all this millions of years up in the thick blanket of clouds began to fall in a never-ending torrent.

 

For hundreds, perhaps thousands of years, the rains came pouring down in a solid cloudburst. They leveled off mountain ranges and cut great valleys in the earth. And when at last the deluge had slowed and stopped, the lowest levels of the earth's wrinkled and folded crust had been filled up with water. These were the first oceans

I know that some planets have water but nothing in such vast quantity as earth.

No it wasnt there from inception.

 

 

 

Not from this map which illustrates what happens if all the ice melted. the oceans could dry up in a billion years though, just in case you still havent managed google by then.

You have the internet at your fingertips. If you use google it can find you the answers to most things.

Wow thanks for that, very well put, pint to you sir

Hey, we are surrounded by the stuff so it all makes perfect sense.

Brazil v Germany tonight, what're the predictions ???

Could be a good thread to discus anything and everything related to the natural world.

I have always wondered how the sea was born and where it come from?

I know that some planets have water but nothing in such vast quantity as earth.

How was earth formed and was it originally made up of mostly ice as am sure it must have been.

Was the sea there from its inception and will there ever be a time when the sea will devour all land?

Think we are nearly making the same point. My point would be that there are other factors which affect emergency services in a far greater way that the scaremongering warnings that were being spouted on here. Lack of ambulances due to funding or going on strike would have a far greater effect on patient safety for everyone than having to cross yesterdays course. We dont hear the same person commenting on that.

 

In your circumstances, then if youd have gone to the police and stated it was an emergency I really cant see them not escorting you across or letting you cross at one of the access points as a matter of common sense. Considering the sheer volume and movemement of people then the organisation and planning for the event appears to have been a massive success.

 

The other point about an event organised by the council, then I agree completely with you.

The trick of weekend was about Yorkshire and not any individual city or town. I would much prefer to be involved in a collective thing with Verity et al who understand what they are doing than some attempt by the SCC.

Do you think he even watched it?

Going on the cancelled marathon shambles...

I would not let our council anywhere near it !!!

Come on lads, get his name right. It's KEIREN.

Is he any relation to DJ Tim Westwood ???

Calendar News this evening was impressive, wall to wall images from across Yorkshire.

It was breathtaking the chopper coverage arching over rocks / cliffs / peaks and valleys.

I also found that quaint villages, quiet towns, poor areas of Sheffield were really made to look special.

According to Look North, 20 people had to be airlifted to hospital.

 

I saw about 3 people get hit on the TV. 1 idiot women fell off roof.

Do we have any footage of all this, the woman alone must be seen ???

There was a collision in east London today. The riders are blaming spectators for taking selfies. They lean or step into the road and bang, the cyclist hits them. I think about 3 went down today. It's the new narcissism.

Selfies are the work of the devil

It was nice for the Owls (Hillsborough Stadium) to be beamed so gracefully around the world.

Looks like France is becoming Sheffield's adoptive city, the organisers seemed blown away on't news.

I would probably be dead just riding up Jenkin Road, get the coffin ready guys

Careful guys, people will be comparing their best times

They went up the cote de Bradfield in just over 2 mins.. I can do it in 7. I dont think thats bad for somone twice the age of many of them when cycling is not my job.

But could you do the rest of the route, these cyclists were super human today, busy little legs

I wonder how many other seedy, putrid and repulsive secrets are buried deep inside government archives?

They are all a bunch of fiddlers so no surprise there, pun squarely intended !!!

I bet certain parts of Sheffield must have had a few weeks trade out of today.

It was almost like they train their asses off every day.

And their legs, how the hell did their legs not die with all that stress

Radio Sheffield was advising people to catch the tram at Tinsley to get away, as Meadowhall was very busy. But surely, by the time that the tram got to Tinsley, it would already be full and so nobody would be able to get on. So how would that work?

The council were either deterring people or making them cycle everywhere

It's less to do with fitness, and more to do with aerodynamics ... most cyclists have their faces surgically flattened and their noses extended to decrease drag.

You've only got to look at Sir Wiggy.

That has to be a lie surely

What I found astounding was the fitness levels of the cyclist, oh my god.

Talk about prowess, all those miles and many hills including the killer last one.

I was sat there watching TV thinking, they must either live in the gym or love the pain.
