Why do people say “naked eye” not as if you can dress your eyes is it?
Neptune was actually discovered by mathematics before it was seen through a magnifying device.
Mathematics or mathematicians?
And Uranus can be? er, nope.
fact.
Very true but you’ve not answered the question…..ever thought of being a Politician? I don’t think you need to study Politics
As long as it's not "math".
Leave Uranus to Malone....
Myanus just sounds strange
I gather it did sound something
The first motorised bicycle to officially break 100mph in Britain was….
wait for it…
…drum roll……
…….a Harley Davidson ridden by Douglas H. Davidson who was recorded at 100.76mph at Brooklands in 1921.

But not the first PRODUCTION motorcycle to break 100mph that I believe was the Brough superior
Did I say it was?
Jeez.
Nope!
But production bikes are more relevant to most people on here so I thought it was worth mentioning ............. problem with that ????
I don’t think there are many in here that have any interest in motorised bicycles.
If they were they would be on a site for motorised bicycles.
Amazingly the music industry considered David Bowie a ‘has been’ in 1983 and he was unable to secure a recording contract. He persuaded Nile Rogers to produce a new album with Bowie funding the production on a shoestring budget. Bowie told Rogers he would only be paid on a commission basis of so much per album if and once one million albums were sold. Rogers said he would wait until three million copies had been sold and accept a higher commission rate.
The ‘Let’s Dance’ went on to sell over 25 million copies……

Sort of triva ish but probably the best place to post it…if you are a good citizen and separate plastic milk cartons for recycling ideally the screwtop lid should be reattached before dispatching - but only if they have a 2 or 4 inside a triangle on the inside of the lid. Despite looking entirely different These are the same material as the cartons and make the recycling process easier and more efficient.
Recycling is bullshit.
We have 8 industrial size bins at work.
General waste, recycling & mixed recycling.
It ALL gets dumped into the same
bin wagon every Monday as it has done
for years.
It must get sorted at the depot?
So why have we got 3 different bin
types??

Are you sure the lorry isn’t compartmentalised?
Anyway, Our four bins (recycling, general waste, food and garden stuff) are all collected separately so I throw your ‘bullshit’ back at you.
