To try and answer your questions:-
1) The roof was a flat roof with an edge wall so that things (nests etc) could not be seen from the ground.

Re: Seagull Problem in Clayton?

If you have seagulls, you have problems! You have probably either had a chip snatched from you at the seaside or seen film of them doing it, unfortunatly that is just a simple demo of their skill in...

Re: Math of the Labour Landslide

I think all the contestants had very poor campaigns. I had no callers requesting my vote or asking my views on anything, neither did I get any leaflets through the door. I presume all/most of the...

Re: Artificial Intelligence

Microsoft is setting up an AI R&D centre in London (1). They may have got this wrong. The greatest problems with the currently available AI is the total lack of 'proper judgment' in the results it...

Re: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Another perhaps somewhat less obvious fiddle is the 3 for the price of 2 deals you can come across. Its ok if you buy 3 but if you buy 6 you are charged for 6 not 4. Its a real pain in the purse...

Re: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
