On account of not being a High Court judge?

Since when does a lobster-collector need to be a judge?

Lobster-collecting wasn't mentioned in any of his plays, AFAIK.
Samphire-collecting was described as a "dreadful trade". Snobby get.

I see you are still as much of an idiot as you were in the previous thread
on this subject.

The only swindle done was by the producers of that programme.

Which bits in particular did you disagree with , and why?

Most of it. Just off the top of my head: Durkin faked a couple of graphs -
the one regarding the MWP, and the one correlating temperature with sunspot
activity over the last 400 years. He also repeated the ridiculous claim that
volcanoes emit more CO2 than human activities. The whole thing was a piece
of crap.

Is that ridiculous? It actually sounds quite credible. I wonder what the
figures are.

Your line-length's buggered.

Looks alright here. Set to 72 IIRC. Even after your followup

Didn't look right here.

Snob? Were I a snob, I wouldn't be talking to you.

It's certainly not unusual to have torrential rain in Summer. I
refer readers to the "Great Flood of '68" with wiped out 3 road
bridges in Keynsham and seriously damaged a fourth in July 1968.
There was widespread disruption for over a week in the West
Country. I remember speaking to a Keynsham resident shortly after
this, who described the sky as being extremely frightening and
angry, with rain falling like a continual sheet. The Army was
brought in to build Bailey bridges and generally assist.

Only 2 really got taken out totally by the flood - the two down past
the Fry's factory, on the Willsbridge road. The Bath Road bridge was
still standing but a hole developed next day and as it was clearly
unsafe they replaced it rather than repair it. The Dapps Hill bridge
only lost its parapets, probably as it was so low it was already
underwater by the time the flood hit full spate. It finished the
sweetshop at the bottom of Dapps Hill, though - the water filled the
ground floor completely - and so made the journey to school a little
less fun for generations of children.

Fortunately for me the sweetshop closed 4 years after I left Keynsham
Grammar School.

I'm looking for photos I took at the time. I remember one of the
damaged Bath Rd bridge and one of pedestrians having to walk along the
bypass to cross the River Chew.

Will post them on Flickr when I find them.


I'd like to see that, be sure to post the URL to uk.misc
I seem to recall taking some pics myself, but they're lost in the mists of time, I was only 14
when it happened.

So not a lot of refutation of the program's facts, but rather a
refutation of the conclusions. IOW "My theory's better than your
theory".

There's more fuel for the conspiracy theorists next Minday, Channel 4,
20:00 - Despatches, "The Great Green Smokescreen".

It's about 1% of anthropogenic CO2. If you wish to read more, this is a good
overview:

http://www.bgs.ac.uk/programmes/land...tributions.pdf

You will not find any primary source indicating a higher percentage. What
you will find is a lot of people repeating a claim that they read on another
website, who got it from another website, and so on ad infinitum. This is
what passes for research in the denialist community.

Ooh no, tell a lie, Linz cleaned up the line lengths before replying,
foghollow is indeed too wide.

Sodding OE did it all by itself. I tried to leave it buggered. The post, not

Go and look at your original. Line breaks after two or three words. Lines
too long.
