And Jim, I think all the satellite data there is already days old. It's not the data transfer so much as the analysis that takes time - as far as I understand, it's still something that can't really be done by a machine for objects this size in rough seas, so people have to scour through everything with mk I eyeball.
Yeah, I notice the latest is material is already three days old.

I wonder if it would be possible to plot/track provided the weather is good enough.

It's good to see that International Rescue have brought along Thunderbird 4 to locate MH370's black box.

I'm looking at the latest ill-defined pictures of these objects and I'm wondering--do Antarctic ice floes routinely make it this far north?

Cover up or cock up take your pick.

My personal, ill-informed, opinion is cock-up over cover-up. But it was close for a while.

Another British phrase I had to look up.
:haha:

It's a keeper!
:03:

Could I use it such as....
"Don't cock it up!"
:hmmm:
Yes you can. :up:

You most certainly can.

Don't cock it up!

I've cocked up!

I've cocked it up, again!

She cocked up the food!

He's cocking it up!

This is a right cock up!

Absent of any diagnostic evidence, always choose a mistake over conspiracy. :up:

Herr-Berbunch 03-26-14 03:25 PM
So did Platapus cock up by not putting cock up in the first place, or is that a conspiracy too.

Aliens. :arrgh!:

BossMark 03-26-14 03:34 PM
Cock up sounds a lot better than conspiracy :yep:

Not at this time of year. It's only just Autumn this end of the globe.

TarJak 03-26-14 03:54 PM
Could also be a cover up of a cock up. :D

Good to see Jeff learning English. :O:

Ah. Thank you. Had a feeling it couldn't be that simple. :D
