Have you seen the song for that?

My favourite science(ish) song:

Just remember that when you're feeling very small and insecure;
How terribly unlikely is your birth.
So let's hope that there's intelligent life, somewhere up in space;
Because there's bu993r all down here on Earth!

It was a glorious day here today: hot and sunny and I got loads done outside. The weather is about to change for the worse though, we have a storm approaching from the South which looked like this earlier:

That's 300kms, almost to the metre, from where I live. We went on holiday to Batemans Bay a few months ago and this storm is going on in an incredibly placid bay. Aussie storms can be amazing: there is such a huge amount of energy in the Pacific Ocean.

Brilliant! Thanks Gen, have never seen or heard that before.

The storm or the song?

The storm is like a tornado only over the sea.

The song is the end of the film The Meaning of Life where the woman is being persuaded to give up her organs for transplant despite being alive, her husband having already had his taken while struggling a little.

Sorry Gen, the song. Though I must have done because I have seen the film. I'm such a guppy sometimes. I don't recall the song..

In terms of the storm, that is one heck of a waterspout. I don't think I've ever seen one as broad as that before.

I used to work with a bloke who had the song word perfect.

I've never seen a water spout in real life.

Oh dear, I am a philistine, I looked at the libraries and two words kept forming in my mind....'unsustainable deficit'

SC do you really keep up to date with the asda/tesco glitches thread and if so do you ever have time to sleep?

Excellent - I'm jealous I don't live near them. I do live near a perfectly good library but it's a square box design.

I doubt anyone could- those threads are completed in days rather than weeks.

No, I skim read random pages at odd times. Luckily any good glitch is repeated 20 times so you can't miss it. Anyway the 3 recurring themes are Asda, dogs and hugs - all of which I can skip through in about 10 seconds per page.

The main grabbit board however, does sometimes have interesting things - like refurbished ipads from Apple and 02 priority moments.
