@algomeysa not only was the movie nothing like the story, it was nowhere near as good. From a View to a Kill is one of the better bits of the Bond canon.
This is getting as dull as the plot of the phantom menace. Every new release Lucas tries to put something new in there so fans will have to buy them. Fans? Suckers.
The man already has more money than he could ever need, but he still cynically manipulates gullible fans into giving more of their money.
It's like one of those sad old rock bands releasing yet another greatest hits album featuring the same old tracks, but with maybe one lame new track or a couple of previously unreleased live versions. Like those bands Lucas hasn't created anything new and worthwhile in the last thirty years.
Common law is merely a term meaning that the whole of the law applies. That is to say that in considering any case the whole of the law including legislation and case law must be considered where it applies. This differs from a system of administrative certainty.
As such in saying "English common law" you are really saying "English law" as the English legal system is one of common law.
There's plenty of other TARDIS' around the UK. Some of which are real police boxes and others fake. There's even one that's sort of a real fake one. That's in Wetherby where the police replaced a real box with a fibreglass replica when it fell into disrepair.
Although my favourite one is the petrol station at the Inner Space Station petrol station on Hull Road in York. Not only is there a TARDIS by the car wash, but there a Daleks on the roof and a Storm Trooper standing guard by the exit.
"If they froze him, then he's not really dead." That would only (possibly) be true if they froze him alive, but they didn't. They froze him after he died. A dead frozen guy is still a dead guy.
"if they replaced some or all of his blood with the glycerin/DMSO mixture that is needed to stop ice crystals from forming and shattering the cells" It doesn't work. Replacing the blood with these fluids stops the blood exanding on freezing and damaging tissue, it does nothing to replace the water in other parts of the body. The end result being that the freezing and thawing process causes (currently) irreprable damage. I read a paper which suggested that the biggest challenge is probably repairing the damage caused by the freezing and thawing process.
The Fleet is far from the only natural watercourse to have been enclosed in London when Bazalgette designed his sewage system. They are generally referred to as London's "lost rivers".
@Rawley, it's a railway station. Train station is what a four year old would call it. That's the thing about so many of these irritating uses of language. They're not specifically American, but they are juvenile.
@Tamara - Scots-Irish is still wrong. It's Scottish-Irish.
@Cormac - I can get by perfectly well without you. Oh and if you don't need the English why not invent your own language rather than butchering theirs?
@Mac - It's amusing that your reference is an American one. If it's English-English we're talking about the only reference is the OED.
There's an exhibition of his work about three miles down the road from my house. Looking at it on the web just doesn't do it justice, if you're in Britain get your self down to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Scots-Irish? Scot can be used as a noun to describe a person from Scotland, so scots is the plural of that. However in the context you are using the word it is incorrect. Scottish would be correct.
My ancestors are Irish, Welsh and Scottish. I prefer to describe them as Celts. It's easier.
However anybody claiming such ancestry has to be careful. So many Irish people, for example, are at least partly descended from "planted" English families who went native. I mean, how many generations back do you have to go to claim pure Irish blood? It wasn't English or Norman blood getting into the gene pool it could have been the Vikings or even before them the Welsh. And how pure were any of those races?
I can trace my descent to Richard Tyrrell. Himself descended from an Anglo-Norman family who fought on the Irish side in the 9 years war. Now you don't get much more of an Irish folk hero from that period that Captain Tyrrell, but his blood was Anglo-Norman.
@Ron Moses. Were you to give the subject it's full name I think you would find that it's called mathematics. Note the 's'. So it sensibly abreviates to maths. Or did you study "physic" at school?
What struck me about that list the first time I read it was that many of the supposed "americanisms" aren't any such thing. Many of them are colloquiallisms peculiar to certain parts of Britain.
For example "that'll learn you" is something that's been heard in the West Riding of Yorkshire since before living memory. Learn being used instead of teach has been common here for a long time. As indeed has the use of lend in place of borrow.
@J the last time I was in Austin I couldn't believe how different it was from the rest of the state. I mean, there were people there driving cars rather than pickup trucks.
A Texan I know told me (without any apparent sense of irony) that Texas was better than the rest of the union and that if a Texan doesn't like what's going on in the USA then they want the state to secede from the union. Ain't democracy great? If you like what it does then you're all for it, if it doesn't then you want out. Anyhow if Austin is in a state with an attitude like that, don't you think it's time Austin seceded from Texas?
Knowing things like ISO rating, shutter speed, aperture, focal length etc. won't help that much. Not unless you can see the original scene with your naked eye under the original conditions. Then, and only then, will you be able to work out how those settings affected the scene.
Focal length in particular can be misleading unless you know that what you are looking at is the whole of the frame. And of course that the exif data helps you (through the camera model) know the frame size.
But worse still for those trying this technique, most pros do at least a little post processing. This means that there's a lot more to the final image than the simple exif data might suggest.
However the biggest problem here is that the most important thing about a good photographer is that they have "the eye" for a great image. No amount of technical expertese will compensate if you don't have the eye.
