bit of confusion seeping in here me thinks……..

coandaRE: Firefighters strike – a review.
oh no, your quite right, there are other jobs, with other risks, I was just bringing another perspective to the post, thats all, I certainly didnt mean to be ‘heavy handed’ and i know you werent, again….another viewpoint
NP Kev35…..none meant and none taken.

coandaRE: Firefighters strike – a review.
well ok kev, thats cool, your opinions and mine……
However, there are other jobs out there that really should be respected a bit more…….and who cant show themselves and the jobs they do in the same way!
nursing I believe is one of them…….
thankless sometimes immensely rewarding at others.
believe me I have lived in some holes! (not far from one now actually)

coandaRE: Firefighters strike – a review.
well yeah, but you get a london living allowance dont you?
its really interesting how so few of you actually use the police officers case.
OK so this is perhaps the area I know about best, my father being in the job……
but really none of those jobs apart from nurses in A&E and ambulance drivers really compare to being a police officer. the pressure and work load is immense(as being a pilot can be too- I realise that).
you always work, there is no sitting in offices or in station for police officers(except if/when they get to eat) unless they are seeing to a prisoner or doing paper work.
Police Officers cover for people like the prison service, to an extent the fire service, and the ambulance service when they all decide to go on strike, but police officers cant go on strike (by law) they have next to no means to challenge their employers in anyway, the police federation are the ‘union’ if you will for the police officers, however that is run in a way which does not provide a deal of support for police officers.
you dont often see fire men being spat at, bags of urine thrown at them, having bricks thrown at them, chasing people across rooves, having to chase car thieves down country lanes at 90 MPH in the dark, having to fight people with broken bottles, having to attend road accidents, giving life saving first aid because your the first on the scene, having to deal with murders, having to deal with armed criminals, searching for bombs, arresting dangerous people, having to break up pub fights (two against 20 odd for example)….
Shall I go on??
My father has been an ambulanceman, a prison officer, a strike breaker, ASWELL as a police officer, and this goes UNNOTICED by the general public.
I think the best way to describe this situation is with a comment I got from someone I work with….
“I gave the firemen a quid when they came into the Uni bar because they were fit….”
“would you give the police the same if they were to do it?”
” NO the police have never done anything for me”
funny really since she’d never been saved from a burning house by fire fighters either……….
I suppose you could say that you shouldnt have joined the job if you didnt want to DO the job, but then thats not the point here is it?

this is why I’m not doing particle physics…..bloody interesting……bloody hard work to get round.
I think I’ll stick to richard feynmans books!!

coandaRE: Whats the speed of Dark ?
the spaceship and everything in it is travelling at a constant speed, it is experiencing equilibrium conditions, i.e. it can be said to be not moving at all, if you are IN the spaceship. If your watching it, it’ll go past very quickly, but you will see everything inside it in slow motion (if i remember correctly) as everything inside it is either adding or subtracting to their individual constant speeds, those either slowing themselves down or speeding themselves up. and this fraction is tiny compared to the overall speed.
The light source can be travelling at a constant speed, and still emmit a beam, which travels at the speed of light, because the beam may as well be coming from a stationary object. now if you were accelerating and emmitting a light source in the direction of travel…….
If you watch a train go past, with a person walking up an isle, you will hardly see him move, even tho you KNOW that this person could be walking at about 1.5 m/s(in his equilibrium state…..or at the vtrain + vperson)
therefore, the light WILL be emitted at the speed of light, with no additional factor, in fact if you want to get into it that much, if your pointing your torch forwards it could be said that you are exerting a decelerative force on the whole equilibrium system.

coandaRE: Southampton…
I will get the ‘proper’ photo’s developed tmrw…there was enough to see for an hour without getting bored, the CRJ’s they seemed to have in were parked out of site, on the other side of the departures lounge, from where I wa standing on top of the car park, there wasa scotair twin turbo prop being fixed…..put it up tmrw prob.

coandaRE: Photography
I have a cannon T50
Its pretty good, and helps you learn how things work, instead of having a computer look after things…..
All the photos on the lycos site in my signature were taken with it and a combination of three lenses, I wont say anything about he quality or composition of the photo’s, but the camera itself, armed with a good lense and half decent film is quite good.
It has also got auto wind on if thats of interest.
