@Captain Scarlet

I worked for Severn Trent for several years sending gangs out to fix burst mains: it once took 15 holes to find the right pipe, despite the chap with the detector wandering around the place! The lack of awareness of the network as a whole is staggering, with leakage figures in megalitres per day.

@ armyknife

Sorry - someone had to!

Re: Which moon

I note the presence of what appear to be several Somebody Else's Problem fields on those photos (I'm assuming that's what all the SEP's are, anyway) - there must be something we're not being told!

Interwet!

@ Stacey

SYNTAX ERROR AT LINE 60.

Ahhh, happy days!

You, sir, just made my day!

@ deadlockvictim

Yes; in / on Magrathea. In outer space. Doi.

@ Grease Monkey

About 0.3 standard nyans-worth.

@Cheesy

That was a very reasonable and well-presented comment. Are you new here?

RE: Oh dear

What scares me is not just the original post but that 2 people apparently agreed with it. What the fuckitting fuck? PLEASE tell me they didn't actually RTFA.

RE: At what point did "chemistry" become "life"?

About 2.30 in the afternoon. I think it was on a Thursday.

Yup.

Exactly the sort of determined journalism that keeps me coming back here - you don't get that kind of insight from the Beeb!

I do!

My right trouser pocket is my phone pocket; nothing else ever goes in there (apart from a little bit of fluff). I have yet to scratch, dent, mangle or otherwise damage a single bit of any phone so ner to you!

Beacause...

My hovercraft is full of eels.

Sorry - bad day. Mine's the one with a pocket full of dried frog pills.

Very true

Saw a headline about this on the beeb this morning and thought "ah good, El Reg'll do this properly later."
