Actually if you zoom that picture in you can see Diarmid Gavin and Charlie Dimmock posing for a picture alongside the BBC ‘Ground Force’ camera crew…

One thing i’ll put money on, is that it wasn’t done by a couple of locals
P!ssed up on Cider:D

:rolleyes: have you been on mood adjusting substances ?:D :diablo:

Yes, I currently getting through my 3rd cup of Sainsbury’s Lemon Green Tea of the afternoon…

One thing I can’t get me head round is the time it must take to do something like this, seeing as there’s not much darkness in the summer months:confused:

It’s easy to decipher this really..

“Press 1 for general enquiries, press 2 for customer services, press 3 to hear your balance, press 4 to hear all the options again…….”

It’s the schematic for the automated answering system most call centres use these days – is it any wonder most of us give up before ever reaching a human being. Just imagine how frustrating it would be to get through to one of the those call systems 21 light years away……:D

Frustrating No! we are English we don’t mind waiting 21.000 years for a decent reply.:rolleyes:

[QUOTE=SOC;1232028]It’s not the Vogons, it’s the Thone. Do let us know if you see any errant seaweed in your parts 😀

Could that be whats causing my rash in the nether regions, though I’m not allergic to seafood, will a mysterious circle appear down there?
Looking at your name, you would’nt be really Zaphod with 2 shaven heads by any chance.

So M13 is 21.000 light years away, that means the signal traveling at the speed of light will arrive at M13 21.000 years from the day it was sent, so only
20.973 years to go before the signal gets to M13, and 21.000 years for a
reply:D

Precisely what I was thinking!

Maybe they’re some obscure form, to us, of interstellar planning notices. Perhaps the Vogons are building the Hyperspace By-pass after all, I’d better go up to Sainsburies and get some peanuts, cans of bitter and hope that Ford Prefect turns up pretty quickly.

It’s not the Vogons, it’s the Thone. Do let us know if you see any errant seaweed in your parts 😀

might go trawl through it now for giggles.

That’s about all it’s good for. Any site that gives Bob Lazar a place to rant about aliens in the Nevada desert has serious issues :rolleyes:

That could quite possibly the best recorded example of “p*ssing in the wind” ?:confused: 😮 :rolleyes: 🙂 😀

Holy crap! 😮

No, you wouldn’t do it by crapping, you might do it by p!ssing:D

Holy crap! 😮

Quite possibly the inter-stellar equivalent of peeing in the snow during a trans-alpine bus journey ? :rolleyes:

ahhh lol above top secret, now theres a website thats fun to read, possibly the biggest collection of ‘tin foil hat’ people and ‘truthers’ out there, makes for fantasticly fun reading sometimes though like i say, might go trawl through it now for giggles.

Are you having a alucinari ? 😀

Having a conversation via M13 sure seems a waste of time.:D

…. make a pattern in a corn field and beggar off home again.

Makes sense to me…… 😎

A reply in 2001 from a message sent in 1974? Blimey! Wonder if the research team can work the same kind of miracle and secure a response as quick as that to my communications sent to a certain Government department?!! 😀

So… let’s see if I’ve got this right.

An alien civilisation, elsewhere in our galaxy, has honed their scientific knowledge to the point where interstellar travel becomes routinely possible.

They receive a signal that left Earth decades ago, decipher the contents and set out to identify the source.

Having located the source of the signal, a small blue planet orbiting an unremarkable yellow star some 21 light years distant, they harness the might of their technological prowess to cross the unimaginable interstellar gulf to our world where they……

…. make a pattern in a corn field and beggar off home again.

GA, I was wondering the same thing.

But it seems they did more than that…they left a message with my basset.
We haven’t finished deciphering it yet, but I think it has something to do with dinner and naps.
