I think its more a proof that faster than light travel isn't possible. 60 light years really isn't that far and it would take another 60 to send something back even if there was something within that distance. But really they are all just watching and waiting for us to develop warp drive, 'coz thems the rules.
Probably, but I don't really know what you're getting at. He's from Peru not the EU. No ones going to deport Paddington he'd give them a hard stare.
Good that charges have finally been brought regarding Hillsborough. Can anyone explain why Duckenfield only up for 95 manslaughters rather than 96? I know the 96th victim died a few years later but thought he'd still be culpable?
Ah thanks Fran. Knew there'd be an obvious explanation. Just hope we don't get all the 'too old and infirm to stand trial' bollocks...
Was repealed in 1996 (just looked it up)....the death has to be clearly linked to the injury. I guess in the past that may have been more difficult to prove.
Wow. I'm in Kent overnight with a colleague. We get 30 minutes from our destination and I recognise the roads from a couple I met on holiday in 1995. I lost contact with them over 17 years ago. Whilst he was driving I found the chap via the internet and LinkedIn. I messaged him and he replied. I was staying in a hotel 1 mile from his house and his wife was working in a pub 5 miles away. He came to our hotel and took us to the pub. Amazing and surreal evening. It was like I'd seen them last week. Sometimes life throws up some wonderful things amongst all the ****. Can't wait for them to meet my family and continue the friendship we had formed. #soppygit
Enough of kittens...start the day with a few pandas....an animal that actually looks like a football mascot.
I find Pandas cute and cuddly, and funny, but I still think Chris Packham might have it right about their survival: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ear...iant-pandas-should-be-allowed-to-die-out.html
More pandas. There has been some research that says that a lot of other animals benefit from the Chinese obsession with Giant Pandas. Saving the pandas' habitat has had a positive effect on the survival of many other species of animals and plants. The panda is like a poster child for conservation as there has been improvements in biodiversity in areas surrounding the panda reserves.

The late great Carl Sagan suggested that perhaps all civilisations eventually implode and destroy themselves. It has taken roughly 4 billion years for us to evolve on the Earth (basing that on the age of the planet not the first sign of life), and we still haven't evolved enough to 'meet' any neighbours. The way we are going, war or climate will force us to be extinct within the next few hundreds (or if we are lucky thousands) of years. Perhaps other 'intelligent' life are the same. We just never evolve enough and are never around long enough to have a meet up.
Our problem is that we never quite overcome our 'selfish' gene. There was I thinking we were going down the road to a better society then we backtracked over 50 years in the space of a couple of weeks in 2016. We've got to learn to work closer together, not apart. We have more in common than we have differences. Didn't a football bloke not unknown to us once invent the line 'together as one'? The idea doesn't just work in sport.
And to use Carl Sagan again, we may look different but every living creature is an Earthling. We are all from the same planet, and we don't have another to go to.
The late Jo Cox MP, murdered a year ago last week, said much the same before she was cut down by someone who thought the opposite. The Great Get Together was held last weekend in communities all over the country to commemorate Jo, and to show, in her words, that "we have more that unites us than divides us".
