Hi!
I will try to explain. When Milton Keynes was designated to be Englands Newest, brightest and swingiest city. The site was a collection of small villages. Situated amongst quite a number of dairy farms and dairy farms have cows right? Milton Keynes council commissioned a sculpture to reflect the birth of the city. The statues she came up with were four or five cows. Cast in concrete and they were set amongst real cows. Snce then Milton Keynes has been the butt concrete cow jokes. What they don't know is Milton Keynes home to yhe most sucessful sports team in the country. Sorry about the history lesson guys. TonyS Last edited by apappasmurf; 12-12-2003 at 07:02 AM. |

Football how boring.
Ice Hockey is the game to watch. Anyway, MK played a significant role in the birth of computing TonyS |

Milton Keynes is just another of Britains concrete jungles.
Why do we keep sending probes to Mars? Move on, let's see whats under the ice of Europa or the smoggy atmosphere of Titan!

For hundreds of years man has speculated about life on Mars. The mission for Beagle 2 is to search for life past or present.

Beagle 2 update
Well, it looks like we have lost it guys. The task now, for the RT at Joddrell Bankis to find a signal of 5 watts ( about the power of a mobile phone) from about 55 million miles. A toughy. |

Yes! maybe
If that was shown to be the case, then the mission would be a success. |

Don't you people know a scam when you see it? Those pictures NASA is showing is just a couple of their people that they sent to Afganastan with a digital camera and a SUV.
It just like the socall moon landings which were filmed on a Hollywood sound stage and on location in death valley. |
