I don't remember any caves! Can you still see the entrances?
if you want to climb through brambles! there bricked up though!
there at the back of woodside gardens shown on the map

Does anyone out there recollect a small cave set into the cliff side on the left side about halfway to three quarters of the way down the path in the hapenny woods? I remember crawling inside about 3 or 4 body lengths as a child and being too afraid to squeeze any further, there may possibly be some artifacts waiting to be found in and around the area, also is that old shack/ caravan still there where the Muldoons used to live?
i remember the caves at the bottom of the woodside gardens (approx half way through the woods) there's was three of them, one had a big entrance but wasn't very deep. the second one was a sheer drop and the best one was the one with the small entrance which opened out in two big caverns! sadly the council has bricked them up! spoiling little adventurers fun!

yes!
They do, but not very well, as you will - of course - know if you have 'researched' solar panels, i'm sure. Even the very best in solar panels that are available now are nowhere near as efficient on days when there is no sun as opposed to those where there is; this isn't hidden by the industry at all, it's openly admitted.
As for 'wow, free electricity' you are kidding, right?
people - like me - who laugh at the current trend for renewable energy sources are often met with a 'how dare you' response, as if it's sort of a law, as if it's a crime to dare to point out that in fact these so called saviours of our impending power generation problem are not the answer. Solar, wind, wave - it's all flawed, and most of it to great degrees. As with our discussion about the electric car you're reading the positive and failing to take into account the negative - research, as you implore me to undertake, involves balancing both sides of the scales and seeing which weights down the heaviest. It's no good looking at limited time government initiatives that promise free electricity and assuming that because they do that source of power must be the way forward; you have to ask questions, and there are many.
Let's start with the same one we started with when we talked about electric cars: if solar power is so good, why isn't it more widely used? After all, it's been around for decades (centuries even) and is one of the most obvious forms of alternative power? Builders now incorporate solar panels in many new houses, but not with the intention of replacing the national grid - why is that? because they are not very efficient. On a bright sunny day you'll be able to power your lights and most of your home by it, but on a cloudy day you may be able to generate only a small percentage of its available capacity. And therein lies the problem that is present with solar, wind and wave power - it's not 'on demand'.
I don't want to be patronising, but if you've researched solar power - and alternative sources - this won't be news to you; we don't have ways of storing large quantities of electricity, hence we can't rely on solar power when it's not able to be generarted in the capacity required. Power stations churn out electricity to exceed demand all the time - they have to, or we wouldn't be able to operate - it doesn't come from a big storage plant, it isn't generated over night and used the next day, week, year - it's made as we use it.
We can envisage a brilliant 'green' future as much as we like, we can talk about building the required three or five thousand new wind turbines needed to meet the quota, and we can all install solar panels, but we still have to accept that they are not 'on demand' sources.
If you seriously think that there's going to be a future where electricity is free because we all create it ourselves with personal windmills and solar panels then you're not doing your 'research' at all; solar power is expensive, inefficient and unreliable, and as with every single commercial enterprise somebody has to meet the bill. Nobody is making these solar cells for free, they don't maintain themselves, and they don't install themselves; somebody has to pay for it, and whether it's by massive misguided government subsidies or otherwise, that's you, and me.
I would rather that money spent on modern nuclear power stations which give on demand power - wouldn't you?
Yawn!
ledley king may not be fit for the next England game!

As for the footie, can someone please squat that bluebottle which is making all that buzzzzing every time a match is on!
that would probably be him...........
should of went to spec savers!

its the 64bit version full of bugs! one off which is hanging at start up! so downloading the 32bit version instead!

Right to the nub of the matter as normal monsta! I think the English 'All Stars' can only expect a result when they play the likes of Greece, going off last night's game! Give Lampard his return ticket now!
USA did beat spain! so a 1-1 draw aint to shabby! as for lampard he should stay and give the ticket to heskey. out of the whole of england thats the best strikers we got rooney, heskey, defoe and crotch please!
they'll definitly get through if algeria and slovenia are going to play like that!
as for the Green goof! it could of happened to anyone!
-
I'm not sure they will become too popular, threegee, I think it more likely that very few people will take it up as they realise that solar power in the UK is a bit of a non starter!
How did you come to that conclusion? Free electric is a none starter? Grants for solar panels are purely ludicrous who in their right mind would want free electric when they can pay for it!
Or do you think that because the U.K don't get much sun that they won't produce much electric?
If so you should research solar panels! They do work even on the greyest of days!

pure paranoia

greece crap ecomony crap at football! 2-0 to south korea!

Where does it stop in the boot sequence when you turn on boot messages? Has Windows messed with the loader? Does Windows boot? What does the boot selector give you as options? What did you do just before it stopped booting? Boot from the live CD or a USB stick and examine the logs.
Best was to TRY Ubuntu is to install Wubi. No repartitioning necessary as it runs from a large Windows file which you can delete.
it passes the boot selection screen (where you select either one of five ubuntu options or windows) loads the ubuntu boot screen then just hangs! windows 7 loads ok otherwise i wouldn't be typing this!

loaded this to give it a try, and worked great but know just wont boot! is this a problem with the grub loader?
anyone?
its on a multi partioned drive loaded after windows as i know windows boot config messes with linux os'es

I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with the link.
Example:
I was researching a computer problem not long ago, and found the answer i was looking for.
The posts went like this:
User1: I have X problem, does anyone know how to fix it?
User2: Yeah, i've seen this before, check this link out: link to website
User1: Great, that did it! Thanks!
Guess what... the link no longer works!
The answer turned out to be a simple 3 step process. Easily copied and pasted.
Now, i know thats totally unrelated RE: content, but i think its only common manners to at least post a brief description of what the link is about. Even making the link text something like this would have helped!

If you've had an accident at work that wasn't your fault, then.... you're probably a liar, as well as a careless idiot!
No matter, Screwu & Suethem (Qualified ambulance-chasers) will pursue your employer through the courts to make sure that all the sensible and careful people in your company have to do entirely pointless things for decades to come to try to avoid us trying it on again!

just want to add a few points.
1) you say its going to be a flopp only the rich will buy one as a play thing! the same was said about the iphone and that has sold millions. i hate iphones but you got to admit they sell like hot cakes. also they said something similar about the toyota prius even after the safety scare they still sell great!
2) you say the petrol engine will live on. sorry engines will live on but only as either alchol or hydrogen as petrol will in the next ten years be skyrocketing in price. in the last few year its gone up 25% to 120p per litre. i can see it hitting 500 to 600p in a decade making my modest mid range car £300 per fill up! sorry but even on a good wage i wont be able to afford that!

whats the point it shows where to land?
-
Oh, i see.
Anyways, good points Monsta... plenty of parking available. What's missing is a need for those spaces.
exactly the car parks at best only get to half full on the best of days!
