I am Welsh! Have never or will ever class myself as British.
What is there to be proud of being British? :?
IF i’m in a foreign country, then i class myself as British, and then tell them, i’m from Wales. When in Wales, i class myself as German. Descendant of Hitler.. Causes a few rows, but hey, i’m always up for a laugh! :?
Asteroid ‘just buzzed Earth’Asteroid ‘just buzzed Earth’
An asteroid about the size of one that levelled more than 800 square miles of forest in Siberia a century ago just buzzed Earth, Nasa said.
The asteroid, named 2009 DD45, was about 48,800 miles from Earth when it zipped past early on Monday, Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory reported.
That is just twice as high as the orbits of some telecommunications satellites and about a fifth of the distance to the Moon.“This was pretty darn close,” astronomer Timothy Spahr of the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics said.
But not as close as the tiny meteoroid 2004 FU162, which came within 4,000 miles in 2004.
The space rock measured between 69 and 154 feet in diameter. The Planetary Society said that made it about the same size as the asteroid that exploded over Siberia in 1908.
Scientists at the Siding Spring Observatory in Australia spotted 2009 DD45 and began tracking it in late February when it was about one million miles away.
Mr Spahr said he knew within an hour of that discovery that it would pose no threat to Earth.Of the known space rocks, the next time an object will get closer to Earth will be in 2029 when an 885ft asteroid called 99942 Apophis comes within 20,000 miles, says Donald Yeomans of Nasa’s Near-Earth Object Programme at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Last year, the asteroid 2008 TC3 harmlessly burned up in Earth’s atmosphere over Africa 19 hours after it was discovered. Astronomers gave a six-hour notice warning of that fiery plunge.Just thought i’d share this with you.. Just great, now we have Aliens lobbing things at us!
What are they going to throw next i wonder?.. This is a warning, it’s all this about trips to the moon and what have ya.. They’re basically saying: “STAY AWAY”.. OR, it could just be the fact that the planets are just exploding.

I was watching a doggy show on the TV over the weekend and I’m sure that Will was in the audience – eyeing the tins of Pedigree Chum greedily.
Glad you caught him eyeing up the food, and not the dogs.. :lol:
Does anyone know where my files have gone?.. :?
I know who i’d like to be doing, as opposed to, what i am doing!
IF you turn down the sound and make up your own lyrics, it’s quite amusing.. Well, for me it was anyway.. :lol:

No Can do sorry.. We need PB. You can have Reason, you can have anyone you want, take your pick, just not PB. Sorry, but that’s the way it is.

Ok I admit I’ve got Will!!!
I kidnapped him and he is now in a cage dressed in nothing but a Mickey Mouse thong eating pancakes. I let him out twice a day to dance for me.
He wants you all to know he has never been happier:twisted: :D :P
FREE WILL!
Now we know, we shall start a campaign. So much for my source claiming that he had joined the Circus.
PB, you get onto the press, and i’ll get the T-Shirts printed.. This’ll be the biggest campaign since; “FREE DEIRDRE”.. :lol:
I knew you had something to do with this Yoda.. Not the first time either is it?
