Re: Park lights ?

Here they are. Sorry about the quality but I took them from the bottom path. the park at night is too dark and scary to walk in alone.

Re: Park lights ?

Since I live half a mile away west by north-west, I quite agree it is much too bright.

Where do I sign the petition?;)

Re: Park lights ?

Petitions are a waste of time. I watched a program on TV where they had some green types signing a petition to bad Di-Hydrogen Monoxide. They just signed like sheep to ban it. Have a guess what it is.

Re: Park lights ?

Acid rain.

What do I win, an umberella?

The area the light casts doesn't seem to go about five yards past the fence of the playground, does anybody still find it intrusive?

See me after class.

Re: Park lights ?

H2O dihydrogen as in 2 atoms of hydrogen and monoxide as in one atom of oxygen make H2O.

Re: Park lights ?

Sorry I'm wrong but so are you, I didn't read the 'Di' bit.

DiHydrogen Monoxide is a coolant that's used in industry, and apparently causes many thousands of deaths per year.

You can still see me after class though.;)

Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division - dihydrogen monoxide info

Now you are asking too much!

Tried.

Google the above, first thing is an interesting site.:(

Thanks for those photo's Neil, I don't think that is an 100w lantern on the top of an 8M column as specified in HBC's Planning application :rolleyes:

Looking at your photo's would think the best view would be from the corner house " John Riley's" old house at the corner of park lane / rhyddings street.

Re: Park lights ?

Are the Neighbourhood watch CCTV cameras trained on the area yet garinda, am sure they must have a great view. :rolleyes:

No I think water is 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen making H2O. Monoxide is something that is produced when burning gas as in carbon monoxide, that would put you to sleep for good

Read this site again Gary http://www.dhmo.org/ knowing that it is water. It is a site more sarcastic than I am.

Like these bits from that site.

Quote:

DHMO is an "enabling component" of acid rain -- in the absence of sufficient quantities of DHMO, acid rain is not a problem.
DHMO is a causative agent in most instances of soil erosion -- sufficiently high levels of DHMO exacerbate the negative effects of soil erosion.
DHMO is present in nearly every creek, stream, pond, river, lake and reservoir in the U.S. and around the world.
Recent massive DHMO exposures have lead to the loss of life and destruction of property in California, the Mid-West, the Philippines, and a number of islands in the Caribbean, to name just a few.

Without water none of those statements would be true :)

I like this one as well
