Thank you Sir,
At the point at which I decide what direction to go in, whether on a moving train or stood on the pavement, at the point of starting to move, the word "inertia" kicks in.
It's the mathematics of going from zero to something. Do I understand it? No!
Also, the perception is only apparent to someone in a different sphere.
Honestly, I've only had coffee & cornflakes. |

Given that we travel the full circumference of the planet every day and once round the sun every year, it's a wonder we don't suffer from motion sickness. Though those who drink too much can feel the side effects. |

Hello,
Most of the invisible sciences remain as just numbers or words for me. A bit of banter & amusement like here, but I do ponder trying to get my head around some of these concepts.
Even asking what is zero? I've never seen zero, only as a number. I can't imagine zero or the other end infinity. Like me, infinity goes on & on, but zero is precise. Not the best analogy but I found what was missing in someone's set of accounts because it wasn't there. So, I had found it.
More water please.

Zero is going to the freezer for an ice cream on a hot day and finding that someone has eaten the last one. That feeling is zero. |

I gave up with Shrodinger's cat On reflection it could relate to Helen's ice cream experiment |

Zero this morning was my chances of finding a parking space in Salt Lane car park. In company with several other motorists I drove all the way to the top without finding a space, and then all the way down again. I repeated this exercise for a second time before giving up and parking my car in the less salubrious surroundings of the Barracks carpark where there are always spaces. Lots of people about wearing suits, collars and ties plus others with flowers in their buttonholes. A combination of weddings at the registry office and a graduation ceremony at the cathedral I think. |

Hello,
I'm sorry for your inconvenience. What about trying the No 20 bus, or 148.
With a bus pass, it's zero costs.

Philip - I do use both the 20 and the 148 buses (and the 20A sometimes), but on this occasion I was dropping off my grandson for an appointment. It is a well known fact that teenagers are unable to walk for more than a few yards, hence the unwise decision to use the nearest car park which was Salt Lane. Calm was restored with a cup of coffee and a muffin in the cafe at The Herbert. |

I thought that by now we would have had some friendly chat on the result of the Euros?

Hello,
I haven't got a clue about football, but I recognise the excitement & achievement. For years, often failing to get more than the bottom rung, yet in recent years maintaining a force to be reckoned with.
Sometimes I'm in our railway room, listening to Five-Live round ups, like I was after the semi-final, me being blunt & not knowing anything, the conversations were dooming England. As good as talking them into losing.
I know so little, I thought that Southgate was the entrance to the stadium.
Does that help. |

Hello,
I feel in such good spirits. My volunteering takes me further these days than when I went out & about just for pleasure, sending you pictures on here. I'm restricted somewhat by the confidentiality rules.
I used my wet/dry/hot & cool route sense for today's duty. I was treated to tea & toast in Cafe Italia this afternoon, today's duty was with a friend.
I say good spirits, yet what does pull me down is learning of folk on our forum who maybe going through the mill.
I won't say anymore otherwise I'm venturing into personal beliefs.
Try & keep cool, please. I'm airing myself after a lovely tepid shower.
