Friday evening question....

Which nice people think there possibly is ET life that could land on our planet?


I personally like to remain open minded on such things :cool:

All this about the sun etc is really interesting, but my very pressing issue is that i cannot find a decent bra anywhere in the house and we are meant to be going out to dinner. I just cannot eat with my tits not properly supported!

There's been a LOT of UFO videos in recent months/years. Including one that turned up on a live News outside broadcast.

Wonder where they're watching us from.

Dh has a couple of conspiricy theorist avquaintances. He gets both cross and amused by the way i wind them up.;). Aliens are always involved there. And 'chem trails' for which i have forgotten the real term, is it vapour trail...from planes?

If I cannot find my bra in fifteen minutes i'll have to cancel. I am no longer looking very hard, but i just cannot think of where else to look!

I think that there is intelligent life on other planets, but I'm not convinced they'd get here that easily. The reason being that we aren't aware of broadcasts etc from other places in space and surely it would be easier to send a soundwave than a life-form (a question for Lydia there perhaps).

However Buzz Aldrin reported seeing a UFO on his way to the Moon. I've met Buzz Aldrin and he didn't strike me as a nut job. He's also far more qualified/likely than me to see a UFO so will give him benefit of the doubt! Maybe need to be more open minded.

Couldn't DH just hold them for you?

I like birds eye peas and petit pois, other brands taste a bit mushy to me, strangely even fresh ones. I love sugar snap peas.

Saw a house on Rm this AM, tried to find it at lunch time but agent had removed it. Phoned agent, despite it being erroneously on RM for 1 hour they had 6 viewings today and even at 525 (in my book equals we are looking for 500) they have already had an asking price offer. 3 Bed semi in need of total renovation on a 50' wide but not very deep plot.

Doozer, how wide a plot next to a house would you need to fit a small detached house? I am thinking 30 feet to give a 6 foot gap between the houses, 3 feet to the boundary and 21 feet for the new house?

Well, he wouldn't mind, but then he would!'t get to eat and it might be a little off putting for others?

I have some spanx type things with booby bits in them. I might resort to that. It makes them look odd though.

Only a fool advertises where they are.

You don't walk round a ghetto shouting "Hello.... hello .... hello". So why would an intelligent lifeform start transmitting messages to god knows who..... (I know we do, but that proves my point).

The way they are down this way developers would probably bang 3 detacheds on a plot 50' wide.

I looked at one 5-bed house, with double garage, a little while back, I swear it had 1' either side of it, 2' frontage onto the pavement - and the back garden was 20' deep at the widest part.

Aargh!

Tried to renew my tax disc online. The system said it couldn't find a record of my MOT. Searched for the certificate and couldn't find it. Phoned the garage I bought it from at the end of April last year to ask if they had a record of the certificate number or something. They checked their list and said they hadn't MOT'd it when I bought it because it had still had 11 months on its existing MOT. :eek:

So it's got no MOT, and as from Sunday no tax either. I've booked it in for an MOT on Monday, and in the meantime I presume its insurance isn't valid so I'm not driving it. Fortunately my dad arrives in an hour or so to stay for the weekend, so he can drive us anywhere we need to go.

I phoned round a few friends to see if anyone could give me a lift to pick the kids up from after school club, but my friends were all out, so I walked. Walking there was a bit stressful because I only had 19 minutes to do a mile and a half, and I'm not particularly fit. (I made it, though, just!) Walking back had no time pressure, but I did have to encourage DD along. She went very slowly and kept complaining that she had hurt her foot (although it seemed OK when she wanted to climb on something in a playground that we went through). So it was stressful in a different way. DS was great, though, and helped to encourage DD instead of winding her up, so I'm very grateful to him.

PS sss555s The big number is 10^16 (when typed all on one line) or 10 with a superscript 16 if done on something that can do superscripts, pronounced "ten to the sixteen". If it were money it would probably be referred to as ten quadrillion, but we don't use words higher than million in science usually, just the "ten to the..." notation.
