Here's a topic:The Electric Universe.

Good luck with your PhD ( Tip.Just resubmit your "Master's" with a few alterations and a completely new "Biblio" -that should do the trick ). One must remember that it's only "sticks and stones." Amongst all this dread and foreboding I'm reminded of the words by Gaston Roubefait ," It's the uncertainty of life that makes for a true adventure." And without a doubt ,there's enough uncertainty around for all or us to have an adventure. So it goes.

Wear whatever you like (look at Grason Perry).Dress up as a "Rubber Dolly" ! Or,don't wear anything at all. Even paint yourself blue from head to foot and speak in "tongues". Wear a three piece suit or a "one-sie." Oh! What jolly good fun could be had by all. "

Very good.He looks like The CEO of , "Vaccines Are Us"", "Trust me. I'm a microbiologist ." "Hold your arm out and I'll give you a biscuit." I laugh ! Hocus Pocus , Crinkum Grankum. So it goes.

Gongrates to your immune system! However,you cannot be too careful in Cuckoo Land. "They're behind you " !!!! Ting-a-ling.

Just a point on this Video. It has been a long standing dispute (since 1988/89) on the origins of HIV-amongst some of the best brains in medicine.Contrary to popular understanding- not every scientist on the planet subscribes to the existence of retroviruses and retroviruses being pathogenic (consequently causing aids).The Perth Group is one of the leading exponents disputing HIV. There are conspiracy theorists out there now suggesting that Ebola is a genetically modified viruses released in an experiment that has got out of control. However, none of this helps with the current situation.Whatever the origins of Ebola happen to be-it's out there and is a threat. It's got to be dealt with and eradicated . The video is only of academic interest.There are those who support "HIV" as being the cause of AIDS and those who don't (and there are many). There are very few people who contest the existence of an Ebola virus. What we are left with is how to treat and bring to an end, the disease that is killing people. So it goes.

Glad to hear you escaped unscathed.Scary unnerving experience. Thanks be to the passer by for not ignoring your call for help.

For those who have the time to read. Go to the Wall Street Journal Oct 18th 2014. Some interesting articles about Ebola. A particularly good one is "Epidemics of the Past".The article addressing the epidemiology and likely mutation of Ebola is well worth a read. A note about mutations . Mutations don't always result in more "virulent " forms. Usually they result in forms less fit for purpose. See the work of Peter Duesberg and other microbiologists.So it goes. The Island of Dr Moreau is lurking ! Ting-a-ling,Hocus-Pocus!

keeping your head while all abut you lose theirs. i laughed.Humour is a very strange thing. You can bet the medical profession have their "black /gallows" humour about all kinds of conditions. So it goes.

Fit Winter Tyres and get a set of chains+ a shovel in the boot. Get some little spikes to go on you shoes. Job done.

If you do your own research you will discover the vectors for transmission from human to human.Go to the CDC and NIH (American sites) and get up to speed. Believe me, I do take seriously the possibility of Ebola in the UK. In my posting I used a bit of "journalise" when describing the possible ways that Ebola is transmitted. (Vomit,excrement ,blood, infected pigs and even fruit bats. It's only recently that flies are considered vectors ). But what I do know for sure -in spite of what others might say-is that it requires close contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person to get the disease. Consequently IMO she must have come in contact with infected body fluids. There's bound to be some information by a medicl Institute which says how she got it. I often take a close friend of mine to the Infectious Diseases Unit of the Halasham Hospital- for blood tests. I shan't stop doing that ;even if the hospital has Ebola patients. You see, getting informed stops one from going into a panic.

Go and do you homework and inform yourself as to the vectors for the transmission of Ebola. And get a grip. You know ,"keeping your head while all those about you lose theirs". The potential for panic would be greatly reduced if people took the trouble to carry out some research for themselves. And it's very humble of yourself to set yourself up as "the custodian of the unadulterated truth". If I had the skills necessary to care for a casualty of Ebola I'd volunteer. My apologise to any moderators for bickering. But pomposity warrants a rebuke.

You cowardly cretin. It's not easily transmitted. The vectors of transmission does not include "through the air". Transmission is through bodily fluids ,pooh,vomit etc. You've got to be living on top of an infected person,swimming about in their bodily fluids. Flies might be a vector, but only if they have been paddling about in bodily fluids of the infected .Unless you keep pigs-and they have been trotting about in the bodily fluids of the infected then you have a problem. But as far as I know;I don't see many people in Sheffield keeping pigs in their living room. I have nothing but respect for the humanitarian efforts of those people taking care-or going out to care-for those unfortunate individuals who have fallen sick. You see, fully evolved people empathise with the sick,and are prepared to risk their own life caring for them-humanity at its highest evolution. Some of the posts remind of the response by some to the announcement that a retrovirus was responsible for AIDS. Even if it does reach the UK it will be contained-but only by the heroic efforts of people completely unlike you. Go and get your barrier equipment from the warehouse in West Yorkshire. In my mind's eye I can see you down the pub all kitted out,shouting,"I'm all right in me suit.But you lot are dead". So it goes.

They have to be treated somewhere-preferable not in a wooden shed pitched up in the Hebrides. The Hospitals chosen will be based on those set up for treating highly infectious diseases and prohibiting it from being transmitted to the public.

I'll write this in a style that I hope you can follow. The consumer unit C/B trip for a reason. The following are conditions that cause that to happen: Short circuit, Earth fault and an Overload. An electrician would be able to tell you which of the above had caused the C/B to trip. If at the socket out let there will be evidence of an overload (one which has existed for sometime ) the outlet socket (bottom right hand side) will look charred (burnt). If the fault was a short circuit the plug top or the socket outlet will have evidence of carbonising (black sooty deposits-not always though ). If the fault was an earth fault there may be evidence of carbonising at the plug top or the socket outlet (not always though). Check the plug for evidence of loose wires and cord grip integrity. Replace the fuse (BS 1361). Don't replace with a 13 Amp. A 6 Amp or even a 3 Amp (depending on the Watts consumed by the TV) will do. if the fault is on the permanent wiring the CB will not reset.Some Consumer Units have RCBOs Which protect against earth leakage faults. Strictly speaking. If the fault was a serious one. For example, evidence of heavy carbonising and material damage to integrity of the plug top or the socket outlet get an electrician. They are not cheap. The electrician will do a thorough job by carrying out a series of tests: Insulation resistance,Earth continuity and Polarity test; and other visual inspections. If you have any doubts as to the electrical soundness of that part of your installation. Go and get an electrician. Faulty electrical consumer goods and faulty electrical installation can cause serious and life threatening fires. Don't take risks. Get an electrician if necessary. CBs and fuses -fuse and trip for a reason. In the trade they are known as" Protective Devices". My background:Chartered Electrical Engineer. Ex-Electrical Installations teacher. Ex- Electrical contractor. Let me know how you get on. It may just be a "trivial" intermittent electrical fault. I use those words cautiously .My professional advice is get an electrician.

That says it all. Very funny. I'm going to charge my neighbours for their cat pooping on my roses-cheeky pussy cat . Ting-a-ling !

It also should have been added ,in my opinion,"Psychotic". I feel you cannot ignore the psychological aspect of the individuals who are attracted to such a death cult as IS . If I'm aware that IS is a brutal evil cult-then those volunteering to fight for IS know it as well. For a comprehensive understanding of the part played by beheadings. I suggest the following reading,"Mujahideeen Desecration:Beheadings,Mutilation and Muslim Iconoclasm. Dawn Perlmutter ,Anthropoetics 12,no 2 (Fall 2006/ Winter 2007". So sorry. I got the wrong quote. I meant the one that refers to recruits having a background in University Education. Sorry for such a gaff.

Someone down the pub told me that "There are some "rite " barmpots and "weirdoes " posting on the Sheffield Forum". I said," get a way tha sen-you're joking". He said," Yes there are- "rite" fascists" . I said, "Surely not....not in Sheffield". He said ," O hi lad. They are out there dressing up in their uniforms and masturbating to a picture of Adolf Hitler-honest tha knows ". His perspective is not necessarily one I share. However...... reading you two ... I think I'll have to review my position. Ting-a-ling.No offence intended.

I'll keep an eye open for it. My Land Rover was stolen from outside my front door. I got very little satisfaction from the Police. In my opinion it is organised crime and the SY "Old Bill " can't cope with it-or don't want to know. You'll be better off by organising your own search. I sincerely hope you get it back. A person on the Forum sent me a message that mine was seen at Manor Top. I went up there and did a limited house to house. However, it's still missing. Keep your eye on the Forum. You might just get a result.

If you consult the Internet. It's remarkable ! The religious barmpots are foaming at the mouth.Descriptions of "Armageddon " ,"The Beast of ISIS", " The Great Satan of the West "- etc ,abound. Conspiracy theorists come a close second with their loony descriptions .Very interesting,An insight into the workings of mass psychosis. It's also very worrying.

Next time I catch a bus and I don't have the right change....... I'll give the driver a voucher (made on me John Bull Printing Outfit ) promising to pay the fare next time I get the bus.`If I don't catch the same bus within a month I won't be obliged to pay any outstanding fare. Simples innit. Mutual coopperation between service provider and service user. ting-a - ling! All change !

Certainly was a treat.And where did he get that hat! Pity the "Brats" booed him at the end."Gizz us a drank ya wee bas...." ! We laugh.

Thanks for the info. I don't own anything made by Apple-and certainly will not purchase anything made by Apple.

That's "Neo-Liberal economic" accounting for you. Better get two estimates-just to be on the safe side! Ting-a-ling.

Following the News (from various sources). What appears to me, is a completely pathetic response from politicians; as to "what to do" about returning British Nationals, who have clearly participated in ISIS and have carried out acts of terrorism. Legal paradoxes are thrown up and used to explain that " nothing can be done". Taking away passports,prohibiting re-entry and other "sanctions" -it is argued- will lead to individuals being made "Stateless". Now what does the mean?. Is it important to us?. Should we care ?. There's a 1960s Act that addresses Statelessness -in special circumstances. There has to be a solution. The import I get from listening to the politicians and the "talking heads"(Not the Band)-bleating about International Law. Is that ordinary folk are nothing but victims -milling around- waiting to be -eventually- beheaded or blown up . Can we be described as like the Wilderbeasts (is that how you spell it ? ) circled by the Jackals . There must be a way out of the impasse .
