    Fine as a theory but what do you do when the trains are full to capacity, the rail infrastructure cannot take any more trains and the rail companies are in debt (and susidised by the government)?

    Rail companies are not in debt, they are making record profits.

    Did you know that the rolling stock is owned by the banks? The infrastructure is owned by Network rail? All the train companies do is ticket administration.

    The perseids and the peak was last weekend.

    However, if you wish to see other space things I suggest http://www.heavens-above.com which will give you timings of things like ISS fly overs and Iridium flares.

    26.00+34.10+60.10 = £120.2

    Something doesn’t add up.

    Yes, thats the same sub I photographed in Strood. From the news article I linked to:

    “She came from Russia in 1994, following decommission, and was moored in London for a while, before moving to Folkestone, which is where we found her.

    If that one is a fake (and I suspect it is due to the size) I can guarentee that this one is real.

    [ATTACH]207540[/ATTACH]

    It’s moored not far from where I live and one evening whilst waiting for southeastern to sort out train problems I took some photos.

    This is a bit about the sub -> http://www.thisiskent.co.uk/Residents-River-Medway-1-Soviet-Submarine/story-16420665-detail/story.html

    You are not. There is nothing you need to do. Simply take it to someone (like a computer repair shop) and pay them to fix it for you.

    This is the exact same thing as a car or airplane. If something goes wrong with either you pay someone with the right skillset to fix it and yet you don’t complain about aircraft or cars still needing specialist skills to fix them.
