Fuck man, that is unreal, I guess it's like them playing follow the leader.

Thought I would post this in here, unbelievable, coming back in a taxi yesterday and going past Leith Links Park playing fields and the taxi driver said "FFS look at them, idiots!!!!" On the side of the park near the walkway were a group of people having a barbeque all sitting around it chatting, drinking and whatnot, black smoke billowing from the Barbie. The park is supposed to be used as a playing arena for kiddies football and parents having a stroll or walking their dogs, pound for a penny they would have a visit from the old bill and got their arses kicked, fined and told to fuck off from the park.

Brilliant that, to think Voyager 2 was launched in 1977, went to sleep and now NASA has woken it up again. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Voyager 2 https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/voyager-2/in-depth/ Terminations and future of the probe Voyager 2 is not headed toward any particular star, although in roughly 42,000 years it will pass 1.7 light-years from the star Ross 248. And if undisturbed for 296,000 years, Voyager 2 should pass by the star Sirius at a distance of 4.3 light-years. Voyager 2 is expected to keep transmitting weak radio messages until at least the mid-2020s, more than 48 years after it was launched. As the power from the RTG slowly reduces, various items of equipment have been turned off on the spacecraft. The first science equipment turned off on Voyager 2 was the PPS in 1991, which saved 1.2 watts. Year End of specific capabilities as a result of the available electrical power limitations[72] 1998 Termination of scan platform and UVS observations 2007 Termination of Digital Tape Recorder (DTR) operations (It was no longer needed due to a failure on the High Waveform Receiver on the Plasma Wave Subsystem (PWS) on June 30, 2002.) 2008 Power off Planetary Radio Astronomy Experiment (PRA) 2016 approx Termination of gyroscopic operations? 2019 CRS heater turned off 2020 approx Initiate instrument power-sharing 2025 or slightly afterwards Can no longer power any single instrument

Just typed some of the names that hit my eye, as I said to name a few, Cantona I love as a United player but when he did the kung fu kick he became a big moron to me.

Aye, Joey Barton (Newcastle/Man City), Chad Evans (Sheffield United), Adam Johnson (Sunderland), Grayham Rix (Arsenal) to name a few. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_sportspeople_convicted_of_crimes#English_leagues

Winter is nearly here as the trees are having a haircut.

Just started reading Stephen Kings Finders Keepers, can't say if I have read this before or not?

That's the 4 episodes seen and all I can say is it made me sad and fucking mad that this should have never happened, we have heard the saying 'swept under the carpet' on controversial incidents, well, this is one of them, heads should have rolled after this tragedy.

Just watching E3 now A major malfunction. My full respects go out to the other lady teacher member in Barbara Morgan who was a backup astronaut that never flew on the mission, she narrates calmy in the episodes knowing in the back of her mind she could have been aboard the fatal flight yet a year later was in the STS-118 flight in august 2007. Edit: How the FUCK could you initiate and carry out an order to launch the shuttle when you wake up and see this

Just found this and it's a good read, the NASA management should have listened to Bob Ebeling and his engineers about the O rings and the cold weather on that fatal launch.
