Interesting Items...

Did anyone else catch it?

I think the presenter should have stayed holding the Northern Line up for the rest of the programme.
Shame they are filling other parts with concrete so they will never be seen again.

Egg = something squeezed out of the rear end of a chicken. If that's resurrection, leave me dead!

(chocolate is irrelevant - there have been decorated eggs for Easter since before chocolate)

A very narrow definition of an egg. What about those from other birds, fish, reptiles, and insects?
You mean, there was a time before chocolate?

Sounds good. Shame there's no Channel 5 + 24 any more (or a Hummy Hive).

It's on their catchup, also two more episodes to follow.

I must confess that although interested in the underground I've not watched this, or other recent series, because the last several years they seem to be as regular as the trains they show and with much the same content (as earlier series/programmes).
Tell me I'm wrong and I might give it a try

It is different, very different. On my5 8pm tonight (now) and 6th April at 2am.

I have my doubts about that. Not accessible by the pedestrian route maybe, but given all the (quite modern) cabling down there i suspect it will still be accessible from somewhere.

I watched it on the online catchup last night. QI, though not much new - and I'd agree that an adult presenter would help

Is My5 the equivalent of Channel 5 + 24, or is it more of a round-up like 4seven?

It replaced 5+24 but repeats popular programmes from any day, not just yesterday.

It does not show any films though so it is probably cheaper than 5+24.

Flow batteries

All he needs now is a better closed captioning. 10kw there would be 0.1w here.

Coincidentally I was only hearing about these recently, in the Elements programme about lithium.

You mean, there was a time before chocolate?

The prechocozoic era stretched up to some 2000BCE, when Christoper Cadburius discovered Mesoamerica, established his chocolate industry and founded the Mokaya coffee shop chain throughout the subcontinent.

Here is a picture of one of his coffee shops.

​

His line of hollow chocolate pinworm eggs was particularly popular in the Spring, and if feeling generous, he would hide them in the countryside for children to seek.

Here is a picture of an early chocolate drunken rabbit.

The menu looks interesting, but the staff don't look too friendly.

Now I may have got this wrong, but it appears that if you dye your grey hair black you can avoid coronary heart disease.

Or at least that's one way to interpret the 'evidence'

 

[EEPhil]

Does this "evidence" mean that people with naturally blond hair are more likely to get coronary heart disease? What about people with albinism?
My BS detector is sounding on this one.

 

[prpr]

Better stock up on the Grecian 2000 then.
Or maybe not...

You may have got it wrong. Greying and dyeing are separate processes.

According to the research greying and dying are part of the same process.

It has ever been thus.
