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.

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.

Which way did it go.

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."

syria . UN where was the UN when bush and blair dropped thousands of bombs
on innocent people in bagdad iraq thousands where killed on un true fairy tales by some yank about weapons of mass destuction . so before they llok at syria should they not look closer to home

Look's like the A27 near Brighton ending South

None of these makes any difference. Internet, social media website, like Facebook, linked-in are the solution.

Neither Asad nor Blair are were right.
