    I was thinking someone (me?) should knock up a poll on who should be the next Bond actor after NTTD was finished running in the cinemas. But nowow that we have seven months where next to nothing will happen on the Bond front, perhaps now is the time? The we have on the topic is outdated with several actors who are around fifty years old. What do you think?
    (I know what thread I'm on, I was just thinking I should air the idea here before I started work)

    I was thinking this delay will certainly
    Cement in DC's tenure as the longest
    Serving Bond actor.

    I've made a point of reading a few of
    These climate reports etc, to get some
    Facts and it's far from 100% agreement .
    Here's an easy question, man is increasing
    Earth's temp, ok. Then why is the temp on
    Mars also on the increase ?
    Apart from the conspiracy secret Mars based
    I don't think we have any cars or factories there .

    Can I ask TP why all those scentists who according to him don't think there's a largely human made climate change going on don't gang up and write a report together or at least sign a petition? About 3000 scientists in the field (if I remember correctly) did get together for the UN and delivered a report that made it very clear that human activity is changing the climate on Earth. The nay-sayers should be able to get one or two thousand together for a second opinion?

    From what I've read other scientists did
    But it received No media coverage .

    Don't get me wrong I'm not the anti-Greta
    Just a person who doesn't believe we only
    Have 10 years left to save the planet, something
    Which has been predicted by Experts since the
    60s Recently ( I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the forest park with glaciers ) had to remove their warning signs about how by 2020 all the glaciers would be gone. As they're All still there.

    Once again, I'm not fighting with anyone, just
    That it's not the 100% Fact, that many would have you think, just because you're passionate about something doesn't make you right.

    One example is what's the biggest cause of temp increase ?
    It's not co2, ...... it's Water vapour.

    I think you should try to find that alleged report. There could be one, but I doubt many scientists were involved and I wouldn't be surprised if there are good scientific reasons why it didn't get much coverage.
    Has the scientific community really said we only have ten years left to stop the worst effects of climate change since the 60's? I find that unlikely, especially since the theory that human CO2 output changes the climate wasn't very wid espread back then. There is also the fact that the climate didn't start changing a lot until the last 15-20 years (I'm talking about in modern times) , so the scientists didn't have a lot of material to study back in the day to make clear conclusions.
    The example about the glaciers in the forrest park reminds me off all the stories about the old uncle who smoked for eighty years or so and was still fit. Single examples don't prove much and we all now know smoking is harmfull, no matter how fit the uncle is.
    The glacier closest to where I live is gone, but that too doesn't prove much. I bet no scientist ever said those particular glaciers would remain or og, but they did say many would decrease in size or vanish and they have.
    We can't be 100% sure exactly how and how fast climate change will happen, but the real discussion in hte Scientific community isn't on if it will happen, but how. I'm not sure about climate change is real because I'm passionate about it, I'm sure because the data and the science tells us. Scientists can't publish a paper and conclude that this will happen because they are passionate, thay have to present the data and the work.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Absolutely no problem with your opinion and beliefs, I'm only asking for the same
    consideration. As I think your original point was people who take a different opinion
    on climate change should not be given a platform to express their opinions ?
    I'm a democrat and I believe in free speech, The idea of stopping debate on a subject
    is very like 30s Germany where you couldn't criticise the chancellor

    If our world is finished in 10 to 12 years time ( as the Climate extremists tell us ) Why
    can I still get a mortgage of 25 years ? Why can I and others buy Beach front property
    aren't the sea levels going to rise ? For example of the 3000 scientists you mention could
    you tell me how many of them were actual Climate scientists ?

    Although Once again my point isn't actually about climate change ( used to be global
    warming, until the temp started to drop ) But rather about the right of others to
    disagree with any perceived opinion.

    My opinion and belief is that we should look at what science can tell us. Climate change is not a religion, it's a field of science. I have never said you or anyone else aren't allowed to express their own opinion in the matter, I just disagree based on scentific fact.
    Any comparisons to nazi Germany is neither here nor there.

    The scientists don't say the world is finished in 10-15 years. It won't catch fire and burn in 2030 or 2035. No-one is saying that. What they do say is we got until that time to lower CO2 emision to keep the average temperature from going up more than 2 degrees celsius. If we are able to do this we may avoid the worst effects of climate change in the future.
    Where did you get the idea the temperature has started to drop? The world’s five warmest years have all occurred since 2015 with nine of the 10 warmest years occurring since 2005. These are numbers from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - U.S. Department of Commerce.

    We could discuss this until the cows come home N24, You have your facts I have mine.
    You have your beliefs I have mine, We're Never going to agree, So I suggest we leave it
    at that. -{ and find something else to argue about ;)

    As you asked so nicely here is the story about The Montana National park glaciers,

    It's not about having mine or your facts. I base my opinion on the scientific consensus and you don't. I really urge you to try find that allegedscientific report you mentioned that was signed by so many scientists who don't accept human made climate change. I especially uge you to read up on the conclusions of the UN report on climate change and the many, many other scientific reports that say climate change is happening and it's a danger. Until you do so I agree there is no point in us discussing this further.

  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    :)) How about we stay away from Politics, Religion and Climate Matters ....
    ... Fluffy kittens ? or what's lovelier the smell of puppies or fresh Baked bread ? ;)
    "I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,320MI6 Agent
    Yes. Uncontroversial stuff like abortion, Israel and Trump :)
    (God, I hope everyone understands I'm joking!)

    In my opinion the best smell is (or rather was :# ) the smell of the fresh baked aniskringler my grandma used to make. I don't know if there's an Englsih word for aniskringler, but here they are:

    :o Did Trump have an abortion in Israel ? .. He kept that quiet :D

    I love the smell of hot cross buns ........

    ....... and as I'm the only one in the house who likes them, I get to eat them all myself :)

    Yes, he did. We just can't talk about it on this thread. :))

    Back to the more controversial topic: the signature ingredience of aniskringle is anis seed.
    Like most baked wares they tastes and smells best when they're really fresh, but grandma would only let me eat them fresh if they got a little bit burnt. So I tried to distract her by telling stories and talking in the hope she would burn some :))
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    I remember asking my old mom, could I lick the bowl .... And she said NO! .... Flush it like everyone else. ;)

    I once made a big mistake in my Mom's kitchen, arriving I thought there was a big bowl of jelly waiting to set.
    Being a greedy little boy I thought, I could take a drink of it before it set. On raising the bowl to my lips and taking
    A mouthful, I realised ......... She'd been emptying out the oil from the deep fat tried, and I'd just taken a gulp of
    Luke warm cooking oil ! :D

    I had a love of Casio watches for a short while, I find them tremendous value, well made
    and thought I'd show off my collection, so In no particular order ......


    Casio-Standart-Digital-W-800-HG-9-AV-1.jpg
    This is the 800h cost around £15, and a great every day watch



    casio-Royale.jpg
    The Casio Royale, My first buy ,WestwardDrift pointed out it was on special offer on amazon so
    I got one, It is supposed to sort of look like Bond's Seiko in Octopussy ;)


    MTD-1079-1-AVCF-600x600.jpg
    The NTD 1079, a more traditional looking divers watch


    DW-290-1-VS.jpg
    Another Movie watch, only this one did appear in the first Mission Impossible film, an amazing value
    watch 200m water resistance and a very, very accurate time keeper.



    dw-291.jpg
    My latest the dw-291, I just loved the look of it, and it arrived yesterday.
    Total cost ..... around £160 odd quid. Admittedly not an Omega or Rolex but if I drown in 200 meters
    of water whoever finds my Body will get a nice watch out of it ;)

    There is much to be said for some of the cheaper brands. You can wear them and not be afraid of damaging or losing them.

    I know Casio is a good brand. I had a Lorus digital watch for some years. I wore it through my army service and it was put through much very rough use. It always kept perfect time. It was worn in water and in very hot and dusty conditions and only needed to have one new battery once in that time. I think it was waterproof to 50 metres - but I never tested it that way. When the rubber strap finally broke after perhaps eight years I threw it away. I really should have a new strap fitted.

    The watch I wear today is a limit. I have had this for about five years. It keeps very good time also and never needs to be adjusted. It has had only one battery.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    I only discovered the other day that Lorus
    Is made by Seiko .

    I'd like to remind everyone of the new poll about who we want as the next James Bond. I've removed the names of eight actors who's aged out. I've also added about a dozen new names. We won't get a new Bond movie in seven months, so why not find out what we want beyond that?

    This could be a bit of media nonsense,
    Scare mongering but a few reports have
    Said that NTTD is going down the " woke"
    Route, with 007 being the butt of many
    Jokes? In the GQ interview DC did mention
    Trump and Brexit, ... all bad signs for those
    Of us just wanting an entertaining movie .
    One report has the delay because of re-shoots
    Not the virus as Test audiences haven't liked
    What they've seen ?
    Once again this could be all media hype to
    Sell papers etc, but I'm not as confident about
    NTTD as I was. :#

    I think it's clear by now that the Corona virus is a very good reason to delay NTTD.

    I am looking for recommendations for audiobooks. I would like to keep to the spy books in the James Bond theme. I have listened to all the Ian Fleming books and radio plays at work, but can only listen to them so many times before I begin to read them out loud with the narrator!
