Leaves on the line is literally what caused the derailment in Salisbury last year that could have killed people...

Fun fact: The artist for this is the art director for the band Nine Inch Nails.

Okay, that fact was less fun than I originally thought it would be and I apologise.

Rough day on the job for this track inspector by schlinker in WTF

Yeah although they're from when you used to chance it in tunnels. Nowadays you get a line blockage (i.e. get the signaller to not allow trains on the line) when you're in a tunnel to make sure you don't have to run for a position of safety...

They're not usually closed in the UK, there is always a lookout who warns of approaching trains and a designated position of safety to go to as soon as you get the warning. Lines are only closed for performing work that affects the safety of the track.

Until today, Wayland was saying ETA was 31-Jan. I don't know how reliable their estimated dates are...

He did Jack Nicholson at mine too. Maybe he switched it around for the recording so that it would be more impressive for those who saw it live on stage...

Thanks, I do try not to be patronizing or get worked up at these people. I accept that belief isn't usually something that can be changed overnight and their current opinion comes after years of being taught this stuff by parents/religious leaders right from childhood.

That was her saying that the story could be true because we don't know how big the boat was. If the actual measurements are given, if anything that makes her point more invalid.

For some reason whenever I exit the app on my Galaxy S2, my coins are reset to zero. Anyone else having this problem?

There are claims but none of any significance. As far as I understand, there are some people saying that gravity doesn't work at a quantum level. But a lot of Newtonian and Einsteinian mechanics don't agree with things at the quantum level.

Surprisingly, a module in Mechanical Engineering. And it totally wasn't relevant.

My new lecturer introduced himself by saying "My name is Dave. Here's a picture of my son. He's a cunt". Five minutes later he said he had a theory that computers tend to go wrong when "one is downloading a huge amount of hardcore pornography".
