Hundreds more posts on the Olympics, sheesh. aren't there any sports blogs so we can have our political betting back?
Curious development in Turkey - the Government says the Russian plane shot down a few months ago was attacked by wicked Gulenists, nothing to do with us, and how about sdome military cooperation?
Note: I have no idea about the source website, but this story is LOL: there is a 'Bob Crow' brigade fighting ISIS in Syria. And yes, it's named after *that* Bob Crow.

I can only watch the proletarian sports, cycling, swimming, athletics- anything that involves a Gun, Horse, Sword, Rugger Ball, or Rowing Boat- I would rather anyone else wins. Toffs dancing on horses doesn't quite do it for me. Others may of course differ.
I'm not at all sure about the economics of Hinckley Point, but five years to solve the problem of storage seems absurdly optimistic to me.
In a UK winter, for example, we can expect periods of cold, high-pressure weather with little wind of 4 days or more. If we assume an average winter uk electricity consumption of, say, 40 GW during such a period, this would give a required storage capacity of about 4000 GWh. That's an awful lot of battery!
DYOR, Mr. Enjinyeea, from what I read five maybe ten years will see the job essentially done. of course when Hinkley Point will come on line, assuming HMG signs off on the project God only knows. EDF have yet to get a power station of this design working anywhere.
Now, will the world-wide project to crack efficient and large scale electrical storage happen before EDF manage to get its reactor design to work? Well place your bet.
One other thing EDF is currently saying that Hinkley Point will not be operational before 2025 and its electricity will be be at least twice the cost of other sources for 35 years. Oh, and who is going to pay for the waste storage and decommissioning costs?
Fecking. insanity if you ask me.
Does your research consist of anything more than skim-reading rehashed press releases masquerading as articles in the Telegraph? What is the basis for your claim of first 5, then 5 to 10 years to solve the storage problem? What is your definition of "solve" in this context?
You want to say that large scale electrical storage will not happen before EDF manage to get Hinkley Point built? Go ahead, I really don't mind.
This is very odd. They've been very relaxed about the sprinter's line, but they're being incredibly tight with this ruling.
I think the difference here is that the spiriting line they have been relaxed when it isn't have any impact on the race, with the putput event there is a serious advantage to going on the B of the Bang.

I see. The problem appears to be that it's hard to judge when the B of the Bang is....

I am no expert, but I think what happened there was mr put put didn't get his bike off the track when he should have.

I still don't know how you make the distinction - for all I know every athlete at the Games is public school education, regardless of sport. And cycling seems damn posh to me - expensive equipment and bespoke arena needed for competing, unnecessarily complex variations to keep out the plebs.

I agree, it wasn't clear with three factors in play. Good decision.

Would you care to come down to Wales and inform everyone that rugby is not proletarian sport?

I am slightly bemused by the fact you routinely slag off the Economist, yet trust the Telegraph to understand, yet alone report, science correctly.
The science reporting on the Economist is excellent, and perhaps the best of any non-science general periodical.
Mr. Jessop, I caught the Economist talking total bollocks about a subject I knew quite a lot about and which if the author had done some elementary research (like make a couple of phone calls) he would have known he was talking bollocks too. For that reason I have distrusted the magazine ever since.
Do I trust the Telegraph? No. However, they have produced an article or two recently about the developments in battery technology that seem to me to be credible.
I don't seek to persuade anyone. If someone wants to believe that Hinkley Point is a a sound investment and that we should pay the French and Chinese governments twice the price for our electricity for 35 years (plus the clean up costs and nuclear waste storage). Well good luck to them.
It paces, while not disadvantaging any one rider. Without the putput, the rider on the front would have to pace make and have to work harder because of air resistance.
Also, the event comes from Japan and they used to use the time behind the pacing to place bets.
In cycling there's a big disadvantage to being the front rider, if you don't have one you get the riders playing games by slow pedalling (and sometimes balancing at a complete standstill).
So the moped is there as a pacemaker to be that front rider and get them set up for the sprint.

+1 I stopped reading the Economist for exactly the same reason as you.
As for Hinckley point it wouldn't be quite so bad if EDF had a working version of this generator design but as none of the ones EDF are building elsewhere are in production yet I think its safer to say thanks but on second thoughts as things have changed....

Proletarians frequently don't seem to know a) what is good for them and b) what they should like or not like.
Reminds me of a debate from the S5 Game of Thrones, when a character who thinks they know better dismisses the choices of others and their reasons:
Those men think they're [doing it] for a good reason Someone else's reason So you're reasons are true and theirs are false? They don't know their own minds, but you do?
Granted, the bracket text replaces the word 'dying for sport'.

It comes from Japan! Ofcourse it doess, there so weired!

Quite so, Mr, Eek. Who in their right mind would say that this was a project worth pursuing? Where, when it comes down to it, is the benefit for the UK?
I do like the BBC write up including Trott's quote about her coach 'puts up with me' when the video shows she said 'puts up with my crap'. I know such quotes are not exact for a good reason, but that amuses me.
