bgoefc Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) It's becoming a habit this. It'll be the Socialist Worker next - mark my words! :-) I do indulge in an occasional sneaky peek for a laugh. I find the style of prose, language and terminology hasn't changed since the 70's. They also politicise the most innocent of things. Edited February 22, 2017 by bgoefc Quote

A good article here: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/feb/22/thrilling-discovery-of-seven-earth-sized-planets-discovered-orbiting-trappist-1-star As usual, it booted off recently between Trappist-1-f and Trappist-1-h in the Dwarfsun's Paint Trophy game. 1-h took liberties in a boozer near the tidally-locked zone and called in a result via sub-space radio; they regretted it not long after though. Pissing sulphuric acid for a week after that they were. Bad news for Trappist-1-f in the end unfortunately; their famous giant killing win (literally - Trappist-1-h lads are 100 ft tall and made of beryllium) was marred when their reserve keeper got filmed eating an arachnid from Trappist-1-b in direct violation of both the Trappist league betting rules, and Trappist-1-b's human rights act. Trappist-1-b's ambassador launched a formal complaint, but then they ate the cunt. Recently elected Trappist-1-c president Donald Trap used this as a chance to energise his pledge to build a Dyson Sphere round Trappist-1-b. "It's going to be a beautiful sphere...and they'll pay for it". When it was pointed out that building such a sphere would not make much difference to 1-b but would fuck 1-c as no light would reach it, and so they'd all be screwed, he called it "fake news". And then ate the reporter. Quote

That could be anything. NASA could put up a close up picture of a cream cracker and say its the surface of planet Ace Ventura. Quote

Andydee Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 I'd say I'm fairly open minded but just can't fathom how anyone in this day and age believes the Earth is flat. I had a 'debate' with a fully paid up member of the flat earth society the other week in the pub, absolutely fckin bonkers he was! My gast was that flabbered by the end I even left without paying my tab!! Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Lad has just been reading about preon stars and planck stars. New, theoretical jobs, that make neutron stars seem like feathers. Something for Kent to get his head round. Quote

Fuckin ell just been talking to my little lad about it. We’ve made his bedroom in to a little space den. Loves it all. Betelgeuse isn’t his favourite massive star so he’s not arsed. He’s more of a KY Scuti fan Quote
