If they're really bottom feeding maybe some side-scanning sonar images will identify them as contenders...

Damn I feel a bit bad today.
I Just want to say sorry to Steve (I may have reacted too strongly to his criticism) and this argument shouldnt really have happened in the first place.I think we ought to keep our inner most secrets,secret?

So how are we all today? bloody hot isnt it,I cant stand it anymore.Last night was horrendous
Roll on winter!

Well we had cold weather here Paul, and just got back to warm seasonable weather this week! So send your heat to us!

I was a bit perplexed by your argument yesterday. I have known Steve virtually for a long time and he is a good guy who I respect. You seem like a good guy too Paul and I find yout posts and ideas interesting even if I don't always agree. Actually neither of you are dogmatic or closed minded-and provide stimulating reading-which is more than I can say for certain other posters I can think of.

Where do you hail from?,I suspect somewhere either in Canada or northern Europe?

I have put last night behind me,after all we cant all be expected to think the same,and trying to explain what makes me tick on an internet forum is practically impossible!

Cheers.

It's more complicated than that mate, I'm Canadian-born and bred (from Vancouver) and came here to study international relations and stayed to work in an international organisation (not the UN). My folks are Greek so I have the fondness for warm weather in the blood despite being raised in Canada. I actually enjoy real cold too since in BC we only get rainy grey winters.

I love the winter too, or would if the wife didn't insist on having the heating turned up to 11. And if they'd ban people who can't drive properly on snow/ice (when we get it).

I don't know what's worse, Gimpy - the fact that you posted that, or the fact that I laughed even harder at it because I've seen that show.

I've seen some of his stuff on TV and the internet.At least he has the right hair for the job,the aliens he is in contact with must be pretty hostile towards humans!,probably the reptilians from V (the old mini series from the 80s,not that modern garbage with the bird with short hair)

Then after about an hr of tracking it, it disappeared. A mothership Or maybe a large school of fish high on some toxic seaweed speeding through the depths, or possibly a sea monster . Who knows!
perhaps it was a movie
