  1. If you had actually followed the discussion, you could have saved the time you wasted typing that.
  2. You did notice I said "apparently", didn't you? Both bits of info came from the Library of Congress website but even they weren't commiting themselves 100%, just reporting what others had claimed to experience, hence the "apparently". As I previously said, if you are defining "thunder" using "lightning", then of course you can't have the former without the latter. Or is a sonic boom a type of thunder? [emoji16]
  3. Eh? Why not? I would think that there must be something else that could have the same effect on air and hence cause thunder. I'm not saying it's likely or I have any idea what it would be but to say it's not possible ...? (Edit: Apparently thunder can sometimes be heard when it's snowing with no lightning required. And also, apparently, you can sometimes get lightning without thunder.) Unless, of course, you are defining thunder in relation to lightning and not just the direct cause of the sound, as in "Thunder is the noise caused when lightning rapidly expands air" and not just "Thunder is the noise caused by rapidly expanding air". (Yes, I know neither of those are very good definitions but it's just to illustrate a point.)
  4. What sort of inspiration would a series based around the formation of England give me? You know, a series where the (soon to be) English defeat the Norse (including Danes).
  5. It's not true ... sort of. The thunder comes from the rapidly expanding and collapsing air surrounding the lightning as it makes a path through it. The air expands due to the lightning but the noise comes from the air, not directly from the lightning.
  6. So we give him 25 appearances during his loan to us and get another £150k? Sounds too easy. [emoji16]
  7. You're right again, 48 times is worse than once.
  8. He brought me into it 48 times before? Didn't even notice. But you're right, that's not funny.
  9. Hey, don't bring me into this.
  10. I'm going from (possibly faulty) memory here, not from photos, and going back to my school days.
  11. Where the 5s pitches were, maybe (but obviously not at the same time)?
  12. Are they not the "accident at work" folk? Edit: Shit, too late again.
  13. It won't be either of them but it would be hilarious watching the meltdowns if it was. [emoji1787]
  14. I'm still waiting to find a single person on here that isn't.
  15. Drinking Carlsberg does not constitute working for a Danish based company. [emoji481]
  16. I know, I was pissed when he said the same about me. [emoji16]
  17. Reported that it was built on reclaimed marshland and that part of it had been sinking almost since it was built.
  18. But, remember, BiEK doesn't live in the real world. [emoji16]
  19. He always f**ks off when it's his round, the cheapskate bastard.
  20. A full shilling would be too much for him.
