Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Well said Tanker.

10000000% agree with your points in the last two messages.

I know muslims very well, lived and worked with them very closely. Because of Sharia Law, they can easily find many excuses to break their promises and misuse non-muslims. (exclude some of the nice ones around). That might be true with many other religions though.

The Middle East? I watched the last bit of that programme on the Empire last night by Jeremy Packsman, very good I thought.. anyone else see it?

S,

"I'm sure you know that the term "ring" is a throwback!

I didn't link the term, but see what you mean by a "throwback".

Tanker,

Perhaps, they are asking help from those Christian countries, who had pillaged and destroyed their "governing or social" systems previously.

Also, leaving their countries often with puppet corrupt governments with dependency on "Western Civilisation".

Some of those corrupt governments supported and maintained by the sale of arms and other weaponry sold by UK and other "supportive" governments for economic gains.

These gains seem to be disappearing.

Stan,

Very interesting, but I think it is a repeat.

But with my memory that is good thing.

Fred,

Don't know if it's a repeat, I will have a dig around a bit later. Thought it was very informative though.

It seems Chinese are buying home abroad.

That's the way to do it!

That looks like my sofa.

Which way did it go.

Fred - on the A38!

CD 99 - something genetic?

Ah right - slightly less than a Borg cube!

Flatworms could hold key to immortality

British researchers believe that the worms, which live in ponds and lakes, could live forever after examining their ability to repeatedly regenerate.
Experts from Nottingham University managed to create a colony of more than 20,000 flatworms from one original by chopping it into pieces and observing each section grow into a new complete worm.
They believe that it could help scientists develop new methods to allow humans to stay younger for longer.
"Our data satisfy one of the predictions about what it would take for an animal to be potentially immortal," Aziz Aboobaker, who led the research.
"The next goals for us are to understand the mechanisms in more detail and to understand more about how you evolve an immortal animal."
