Is there anything this forum does like?

[Scotty_Tradewind]

We don't appear to like:

1. Sea horses
2. Wind farms
3. The Olympics
4. Rocna

Etc

Could we perhaps make 2012 the year when we like something?

A Happy New Year to you all.

we like the open comment and often the quality and diversity of opinion. HNY

Once again can you provide evidence or a link to research backing this up? As I said the fact that you don't think there will be a problem is not really good enough for me.

Do you really think anyone gives a damn? HNY

TBH they can land on it as much as they like. Gulls are a part of shoreside atmosphere & largely appear to emulate forumites with their raucous argumentative squabbles over trifling tit-bits.

But I do wish they would tidy up after lunch & not stay to shit all over the canvas work & teak trim. Being a servant & cleaner after the gulls is rather irritating, it's not as if there isn't enough to do clearing up my own detritous.

Yea -right

Not necessarily in the above order, the reverse in fact...

If you have enough of 1-3 they all become 4 and 5 is more likely

Surely you've missed ''dead'' from the end of your post?

 

[Tanqueray]

TO be fair the Rance is a barrage, and it does (like any major barrage) have significant local tidal effects. However, the future of tidal is standalone generators (think wind turbines underwater) and these will have no significant effect on the tide (or, as some doom-mongers have suggested, on the orbit of the moon!)

When I see you put on some SCUBA gear and swim through a whole field off them (as you are asking all marine life to do) - you will have much more credibility - want to set a date?

Lustyd, it's very simple -- calculate the total tidal energy available as half the mass of the water moving into the lough during the two central hours of the flood multiplied by the average tidal stream rate during that interval, squared. Then compare that to the rated capacity of the generator and see which is bigger !!! And by how much !!!!

QED.

While the boffins are arguing about winds and currents, I go along with Baggywrinkle for the sarnies and brew..oh! and the pies ..in flat round tins...the pies whose name shall not be uttered...

I think seeking evidence of the effect or lack of it of tidal barrages on the orbit of the moon might be a little beyond the scope of a ybw forum, perhaps one of you could do a doctorate on it?

Prima facie I'd think it rather pointless, but lustyd might think otherwise.

Ah, thanks for that enlightenment Downsman, I was not aware that Rocna made Pies in tins. No doubt they go all floppy due to low grade tin and the pie gets all squished and mushed up.......
