Why do we never hear or read anything about the Small Hadron Collider?

Climate Change is now even less than the last over-prediction

Remember when IPCC predicted that Himalayan glaciers would have melted by 2035. Then they embarrassingly had to admit they were wrong after proper scientists pointed out flaws in their data?

Now, yet another of the nightmare scenarios mankind is supposedly facing, rapidly rising sea-levels, has been debunked.

Delft University of Technology has established that the predicted Arctic & Antarctic Ice-Melt rate has been overestimated by a factor of 3.

It now turns out that the original predictions were not properly corrected for glacial isostatic adjustment, the phenomenon that the Earth’s crust rebounds as a result of the melting of the massive ice caps from the last major Ice Age around 20,000 years ago

Those of us living near the coast can sleep a little sounder in the knowledge that imminent flooding is that much less likely.

You couldn't make it up.....

Two convicted ETA terrorists (1 x M + 1 x F) are allowed conjugal visits in their Cordoba prison.

It's worth remembering that they have 3-digit sentences.

He's been unable to make her pregnant, so now they are demanding expensive IVF treatment; and likely to granted it because denial would 'breach their rights'.

It will be Spain's taxpayers, via its Health Service that pays. [The cost sometimes exceeds that of Cancer treatment]

What a wonderful environment any progeny will experience.

Air lifted to hospital, but waits 3 hours in A & E.

British SuperBike rider Stuart Easton crashed his Swan Honda whilst testing at Cadwell Park, Lincs, today. It was quite a serious injury, so he was airlifted to hospital. 

He then waited 3 hours in A & E for attention.

His team could probably have repaired his bike & ridden him pillion to hospital in that time.

Politicians / Lobbyists - A Gravy Train on the Circle Line.

First they make crap Laws & Regulations, and Trough expenses whilst doing so.

Then they charge exhorbitant fees for correcting the errors they've created.

A Gravy Train on the Cirlce Line.
