    Evening anti - incredible result for Pompey, only our second away win of the season. I listened to the live broadcast on the radio, fantastic stuff ! Bit of a setback at St Marys today against the scousers, although you are still in a decent league position. Rained all afternoon, but had a lovely roast beef lunch with wife, youngest daughter and her partner at a restaurant on Ryde esplanade. The England cricket team are a useless bunch of drongos. Have a good day.

    2057 is a Discovery Channel television program hosted by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. It premiered on January 28, 2007 and attempts to predict what the world will be like in 50 years based on current trends. The show takes the form of a docu-drama with three separate episodes, each having informative stories ingrained into the plot. All three episodes aired on January 28, 2007.

    Hey Woopert - humid start to the day even at 4am it was muggy and as the morning wore on the thunder clouds rolled in particulary since we seemed to have Blind Pew as a referee I thought the two shouts we had were worthy ones still we move on. Just taken AB to the podiatrist then this afternoon its his 3 weekly haircut he's not looking like Bob Marley after 3 weeks I think its more of a case of getting out of the house which I don't mind. Right its time for a new prediction thread and a certain someone has caught you up eeeek ATB

    Cambridge O Level Pakistan Studies (2059 ) - The Cambridge O Level Pakistan Studies syllabus introduces learners to the history, culture, geography, environment and development of Pakistan. They learn about Pakistan's rich heritage and cultural influences, and about the events which have shaped national identity, from the decline of Mughal power up to 1999. Through their studies, learners gain an understanding of historical skills and concepts, and examine different interpretations of historical events.

    G'day anti - poured with rain this morning, cleared up after lunch, but still flipping cold. Only four more working days to the weekend ! Have a good day <ok>

    2061: Odyssey Three is a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke that was published in 1987. It is the third book in Clarke's Space Odyssey series.

    Evening anti <ok>. Not a bad day today weatherwise. Exciting match for us tonight, what a comeback from two goals down, to win. Can't wait for our home match with Oxford on Saturday. Trying to fit in walks when I can, but need to do more ! Have a good day.

    The Barrett 2062 Crossgate is an effective and affordable solution for extending the line of sight reach of a conventional VHF/UHF networks by linking them to an HF network using Barrett's HF transceivers.

    Hey Woopert - bit of rain bit of sun and so the day goes on - your guys seem to be on the ascendancy as opposed to ours who have the wobbles and goal drought.
    Busy day been to mums grave and put flowers on it on what would have been her 101st birthday - board meeting at 5 then off to a restaurant called Le Chat Noir Terrigal for dinner with the bride and my dad - you could google it and tell me what you would have ordered in 3 courses and then I will tell you what I ordered - oh what fun ATB

    KRONOS 2063 displays low abrasiveness and is an outstanding pigment for high-gloss gravure and flexographic inks. Additionally, it is a universal pigment for use in industrial coatings like can coatings. It is characterized by high tinting strength and hiding power. A high degree of gloss can be achieved when used in both waterborne and solvent-based systems.

    In 50 years, humans will have long-term space colonies, according to the predictions of 1 in 3 Americans. A greater fraction of people think teleportation and lab-grown organs will become reality by 2064. The responses, based on a survey of 1,001 U.S. adults by the Pew Research Center, suggest that Americans feel both optimistic and apprehensive about future technology.

    Evening anti - I reckon you started with the Seared tuna and “hot-smoked” salmon on traditional Nicoise salad of green beans, olives and hard-boiled egg; followed by a main course of Baked Rainbow Trout fillet rolled with spinach mousse, served on pearl barley with herb lemon butter sauce; and for your dessert, you had Red wine poached pear served with lemon sorbet and spiced poaching liquid. How did I do ?!
    Stab in the dark, but I know you like your fish, and red wine ! Have a good day <ok>

    Many forecasters and futurists tell us that in 2065:
    the world's human population will be 8.5 billion,
    atmospheric CO2 levels will exceed 650 ppm under a business as usual scenario,
    the Arctic ocean will be ice free in August and September,
    average global temperature will 4°C warmer than in 2000,
    ocean pH will be less than 8.2, and
    sea level will be ~26 cm higher than in 1990.

    Greetings Woopert - Well you got close with the Red wine poached pear as the bride had that - I had the Scallops followed by Confit Duck then Crème brulee - We had a very nice bottle of Pepper Tree Shiraz and by the time we had consumed that it was time for a couple of glasses of French Beaujolais and the son had a chilled Shiraz desert wine - then it was goodnight Zebedee goodnight Florence - Oh and by the way the bride and my dad had the pork with prunes and the son had Wagyu Beef ATB

    In 2067, the Master, using the alias Doctor Howard Chithros, promoted a scam, convincing elderly people he could rejuvenate them back to infancy. In fact, the process killed them. The Seventh Doctor and Ace defeated his scheme......Not a lot of people know that.

    Greetings Woopert - Bounded through the door last night with no booty just my good self and the desire for the curry the mem sahib had prepared. Warm sunny morning with an afternoon on the punt at the club on offer hey ho. Live for today etc one of our dart players skinny as a rake non smoker of mid 60's age and English to boot had a heart attack yesterday rushed to hospital two stints put in - so if your wondering whether to put some butter on your lardy cake wonder no more because you never know - so on that cheerful note good luck to our respective teams on Saturday ATB<cool>

    WASHINGTON: A 325-meter asteroid that will safely fly by the Earth in 2029 and 2036, may strike the planet in the year 2068, scientists have warned. However, the chances of 99942 Apophis striking the Earth are slim with impact odds being about 2.3 in a million, the article published on Nasa's website said.

    Evening anti - Nice day today, plenty of sunshine. I do like Lardy Cake - especially with butter on it ! Looking forward to the match tomorrow, having missed the game Tuesday night. Should be interesting with Oxford boss Michael Appleton having previously managed Pompey, and Pompey coach Gary Waddock being a former Oxford boss ! Have a good day.

    World population will likely peak at around 9.4 billion around 2070 and then decline to around 9 billion by 2100, according to new population projections from IIASA researchers, published in a new book, World Population and Human Capital in the 21st Century. Alternative scenarios included in the projections range from 7 billion to almost 13 billion by 2100.

    Greetings Woopert - fine sunny Sunday morning and another loss for my lot WB scored after 2 minutes then parked the bus and there were a lot of moans about that but hey coached by Tony Pulis and in the same situation we would probably done the same - saw the return of a Pompey legend that was probably the highlight of the afternoon judging by the game reports. Won a few bucks on the punt but her indoors got wind of it and we are off to the club for lunch*sigh* - ATB

    The title of the latest offering at the Royal Court, 2071, might suggest a big-scale show, dramatic and dystopian. But in tackling the subject of climate change, and how it might affect those who come in our wake, 57 years hence, this modest piece offers us something akin to the end of The Wizard of Oz, when the curtain is pulled back to reveal an ordinary mortal whose message is that we must look to ourselves to sort things out.

    Good Afternoon anti - As I'm typing this, England are being royally stuffed by the Irish in the rugby. Totally forgetable game at Fratton Park yesterday afternoon, but at least a point and a clean sheet, and up to 12th in the table. Nice day today, it even feels like a Spring day !

    A contractor who dumped eight truckloads of hazardous waste containing asbestos on residential land could be paying off fines for similar offences beyond 2072, a Sydney court has heard.

    Evenin' Woopert - well England got well and truly pumped in both Union and again cricket I think I might have to mothball my shirt - 310 for 1 what a joke - NOT.
    Overcast morning bride at the gym breakfast despatched to the recycling department and with instructions from the high command its time to sort out the bar room not by drinking it I hasten to add its not 5pm yet. Glad you have had a taste of springlike weather - planning a strip to Blighty Aug/Sep 2016 so time to build my Star Alliance points up and save the pennies - onwards and upwards ATB

    G'day anti - Not a bad day today weatherwise. I see you are planning a 'strip to Blighty' next year. Laws have changed since you emigrated to Oz, anti. They expect you to keep your togs on nowadays <laugh> <ok>. I am enjoying your little game with SB3 on the Prediction thread - very amusing. Good luck to both our teams tomorrow evening. Have a good day.

    Sec. 2074. False weather reports

    Hey Woopert - fine sunny autumn morning been to the pool and in said pool was a lady with all her clothes on showing only part of her face the rest was completely clothed don't know if it was a religious thing or what quite unusual. Winding SB3 up for a change but will as said put him top of the tree in a day or two. Off to the nursery to get some army grub spray as the buggers are eating my lawn from the roots up - they will pay. Merson has predicted us to lose 1 - 2 and Lawro for us to win 2 - 0 so it should be a draw we await both our teams outcomes - ATB
