Yes, Carol, you have a brain. But Andrea Jenkyns lost at the last election, and Farage has put her up for Lincolnshire mayor. Simply cannot believe such a buffoon could be given a position, and yet, you actually DID pass your degree and nobody checked her past qualifications out...💩

Any pictures from inside, and has it been taken over by Mother-Nature?

Faisal - if you had said that was something like 'Death Valley', I would have believed you 😂

If you had posted the video and asked where it was. Then my guess would have been Switzerland or Austria.

Humans have mapped the surface; the Russians landed a craft; hence, the above picture. It's got a runaway greenhouse effect, & unless there is a substance that would allow us to travel like 'Star Trek' at light speed or beyond, can't we just ignore it? There's more in the asteroid belt to explore.

What is stopping the UK bus fleets doing the same? This clean energy is simply there and waiting, the introduction would mean reduced taxes from fossil fuels. Not a participant of cannabis myself, introducing 'controlled' supply would more than meet the taxes from fossil fuels.

What's the boat's main catch? Is the catch sold locally, or is it blast-frozen and sent aboard the flights service to and from the airport?

One thing that every island has, 4 tides a day, 2 in & 2 out. Seen many advances in this area, so I take it that money is missing piece in making this a reality

Yes, Mazda may be on to something, but here in the UK you 'petrol heads' better get used 2this, as all cars will have limiters on so u can't go faster than the speed set for that road. I was told that the 2030's the UK has instructed all cars to have speed limiters fitted. Sorry Lamborghini drivers.

Those herds infected, are they killed and disposed of? The undertaking of such a slaughter would be immense.

Susanne - What is happening to these animals? Is it termination or drug-based? The UK news mentions nothing about your outbreaks. It's as if we live on different planets.

We were shown the Toyota Mirai at a science conference many years ago. And the Toyota rep. said the gov wouldn't help with the hydrogen filling points, as they would lose valuable tax from fossil fuels. I truly believe it will happen, but mainly the private sector will be the source of the funding.

But do remember, Denmark, you have a 'Fart Tax' from cows and pigs to sort out as well.

And what about if you need to do a round trip of say 350 miles, are the RAC or AA going to pick you up and take you to the nearest Hydrogen pump. It's unworkable without the government's involvement.

Just being nosy, where did his majesty stop when he visited your island? Just want to know if it was a hotel, as I might have to save my pennies and book the same place.

Seriously Guys, don't want to be a 'killjoy'. How long will the the hydrogen buses take to level the influx of th money? Seriously, I am backing your adventure 110%, but whats the stats tell you?

Who cant see the grumpy old man, with his left finger pointing?

Making them now? The only reason we don't have them is tax the governments make today on fossil fuels. To everyone whose reading this, we went to a science show, and the Toyota Mirai was there. Check out Rice Uni (Texas). They have made hydrogen pumps as cheap as petrol, what are we waiting for ???

Yogi was definitely the runt of the litter. she never meowed but did a strange 'Agha' noise to tell me she was there. I loved my litle baby, and writing this is almost bringing tears to my eyes. She slept on one of hips for 16 years, how could I not have loved my little baby?
comment in response to post
That is like my favourite cat from a charity. my litle baby Yogi, a Nebalung who for 16 years slept on top of my hips. My beautiful little girl, would go downstairs and eat food, and come back up onto my side I was sleeping on, and lick my face to see if her 'mami' was still alive.

Scchhhush....don't tell everyone that, or at least, until I get a slice for myself and family

Living in Romania, my change was kept to get dogs 'Dressed' & allow them to live. I never knew Romania without street dogs, & the EU intervened & wanted street dogs 'dressed.' But people would say that they didn't have a chance if they were old, were not ''desirable'' and old. They were Terminated

Absolutely beautiful; just need to start everyone getting a cooperative to grow all the vegetable foods you need. My civil service pension has another 16 years to go, so hopefully by then you have a place for a person who will grow veggies, have sheep and maybe a few cows?

Honestly, I went to him on a private basis, and he offered to remove my cataracts with a machine gun. I told him I didn't have enough money, and i would wait 20 years on the NHS waiting list.

Hi Jonathan, have you took a picture in the dark, to see what colour the eyes are in the dark?

Jim - the best AI I know up to this moment is www.perplexity.ai , and I can tell you that if you are willing to reset the paper and key notes, you will not be failed for plagiarism. Use it as an information gatherer, and mix and match your own and it will seriously get you a minimum of a 2:1

VA—absolutely love your great art talent for the art, it's just a shame these days the UK universities think of art and humanities as 3rd-rate degrees. And to my horror I have heard, 'AI can do a better job of art, music, research, etc.' Wonder if we need AI to chat over a coffee in the near future?
comment in response to post
I love pictures like the above; trying to get my brain around light travelling billions of years can cause my brain to go to 'overdrive.' Then anyone similar to myself thinks, how could we go faster than the speed of light? To every human reading this, AI is another part of the human jigsaw puzzle.

Imagination tells us, 'It could be.' Mathematics says, ''life is everywhere.' My own thoughts are: We arrived here via a meteor or comet, so life from the explosion that created any of the two must have had life with simple DNA. Bradford-born Prof. Fred Hoyle's theory, Panspermia, is closest.

If I remember rightly, you could work your passage, or you could pay to sit on deck and get a suntan. The program must be at least 20+ years ago, as I remember my father-in-law saying he'd like to go on it.

They are OEC figures, and are what economists, bankers and many others use to give facts and figures about a country. But, and it's a big BUT, they do have a tendency to be a bit wrong and too high or too low.

Is the largest employer the fishing industry, or has other countries boats signed agreements to fish in your waters?

Sardinia and Corsica, both islands in the Med,, and both beautiful for those with a little deeper pockets. Oh well, we can only dream of winning the Euromillions.

Notice the use of a middle-aged model to sell your story. If the story was so good, why the need for a model?

Love it! The first thing any holidaymaker will do when they close the door in their hotel room, put the TV on to catch up with the news on BBC, CNN, or others. One of the times I remember St. Helena in the past, a program aboard a boat supplying goods; the only way to get there at that time.

The setup and safety 2 fit hydrogen pumps in gas stations was high. Rice University (Texas) made leaps and bounds in making the pumps safe and affordable. The biggest problem is the government needs the fossil fuel revenue to balance their budgets. Hence, they won't be putting $$ forward soon.

A tank full of petrol is far more dangerous than hydrogen. And still folks saying, 'Really, what about the Hindenberg?' In the last 20 years, I have seen many attempts for airships to become short to medium cargo carriers. Sadly, none as yet have made it past the initial stage, which is a shame.

My deepest opinion.Kill two people, &'they' deserve 2die if planned. Then how many innocent people have been executed & found 2B innocent? Then another argument, 'It cost millions to keep them locked up.' And finally, 'No, let them rot in jail.' Are any of the above 'punishment?' Whats the answer?

Once again, the bad boy of the class, the UK, is left out of the great future plans others are building. Seriously, this Brexit thing has been like shooting yourself in the foot, as the country declines without us being partners to such a fantastic project.
comment in response to post
Used the correct way, it doesn't have to be plagiarism. Remember when the junior teacher gave the class a few words or sentences, and then asked the class to make a story? It can be similar to that, as the biggest fault many have writing an essay is starting it.

Coal to make a clean fuel? Who the hell came up with that idea? My greatest hope is the UK embraces hydrogen fuel and ditches electric cars, which require fossil fuels to make the power...DUH The UK created the industrial revolution, but wants electric cars as the future...No that is stupid.

Susanne - Early on we got told that H5N1 couldn't be spread to humans, and we simply couldn't catch the virus. There was a worker at a pig farm in Malton, N.Yorkshire, who contracted it but was dismissed as the symptoms were mild. And the worker was about to return to work after antibiotics.
