    They've recently found high levels of phosphorus on one of Saturn's moons which is apparently something necessary for life on an oceanic planet which is what it is.

    There may well be other life in our solar system, wouldn't be surprised, but the idea that we're alone in a sky full of stars is ridiculous to me.

    Why are they still building new houses in these new housing estates
    With garages too small to put any car in
    Just make it bigger or don’t bother at all it’s pointless

    Emma Radocanu now saying sometimes she wishes she'd never won the US Open tennis.

    Remember when mental strength was a good thing?

    Agree . But even a big garage will just become a storeroom. Give a small storeroom , extra drive length and see if it’ll get more cars off the street

    Pretty sure garage widths, just like parking space widths, are using the same minimum dimensions as about 50 years ago.

    Most standard sized cars would be a tight squeeze now!

    I agree a small storeroom and longer drive with a canopy over seems a sensible option

    Or I’m sure they could design a sort of half above and half below floor so garage and parking area under the two floors of the house

    I don't understand what's going on with her. I watched a lot of her US Open win and I watch a fair bit of tennis in general, I was convinced I was seeing the next star of women's tennis. She was aggressive, hard as nails under pressure, constantly went for winners and showed huge levels of grit to come through a gruelling final.

    Since then absolutely nothing. I thought for a while she was just adjusting to life on the tour and picking up minor injuries but I'm starting to think her head's gone.

    Poorly managed is my guess, she was so young at the time.
    She has changed her coaches 3 times which cannot of helped, plus the injuries.
