so many vehicle's indicators/turn signals only function when the steering wheel is turned to exit a motorway, overtake other vehicles, or to turn right or left at junctions.

more often than not, they just don't work at all!

I think drivers are afraid of the electricity bill.

"i would of done this..........or he would of tried to change things".

it's would've - short for would have!.

I think a huge contributory factor is that people don't read. If they absorb all their information from screens and tiny snippets of illiterate text.

So my recommendation to anyone is READ, READ, READ.

Science and Watchtower's astounding ignorance

by Diogenesister in

well these goof balls at jwbroadcast apparently think the study of pure science means not having any "practical application".

oi vey.

sanderson may speak russian but he is so ill educated he appears to think that researching a subject and formulating a theory about it means that's the end of it - in other words he's saying it has no practical use.

This is the most breath-taking example of complacent ignorance I can remember. At least since the last one from the same source.

One of my favourite programs is the BBC's The Life Scientific, it interviews scientists, looks at their achievements, and hears of their lives and path to making the breakthroughs they have made. However for everyone at the sharp end of these sucesses there are thousands who's work will never be directly world benefiting. Without those though we wouldn't have the other.

Professor Martha Clokie is studying hospital acquired bacterial infections and how viruses can be used to fight them. Yes you effing tit, yes you Mark Sanderson, these infections kill hundreds of thousands per year. The evolution of these bacteria is making antibiotics ineffective. If you had your way, they would have no one to understand them, far leas fight them.

Professor Elizabeth Fisher spent 13 years trying to get a human gene into mice. What a useless life? Oh! It's to help study motor neurone disease.

For anyone in the UK, this series,The Life Scientific,is refreshing. food at the proper time. I recommend it.

Can someone compare the midweek meeting now to what it was say in the 60`s - 80`s ?

by smiddy3 in

i can`t believe the tidbits i`m finding out about the changes ,dumbing down of the meetings i used to attend and participate in up until the late 1980`s ...

neat blue, you are right, there is still opportunity on occasion. One problem is that there are very few talks now, especially for a none "appointed man" like me.

I get an occasional bible reading, not much room for creativity there although come to think I've had some fun with pausing and emphasis. Other than that there are sometimes presentations, 2 or 3 minutes. I always do those extemporaneously, unrehearsed. I've had some fun with those also. It frightens the householder to death. The cong loves it. They like a bit of entertainment.
