I suspect that I am a little before your time, 73 in October but still a bit daft and always interested in something new - healthy state of mind. Kind regards, Richard Music has no age limits. This evening I am looking forward to seeing Bully on KEXP live at 11.00 am. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others ban dancing and they all pray to the same God. So it leaves me confused, can I wiggle me b u m or not. Anyhow no matter which religion someone believes in there is a naughty boy normally called the Devil. Check out a couple of those big books where God (or the Gods) are responsible for floods, droughts, plagues, etc and what is Satan responsible for orgies and heavy metal music. 3 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it Steppenwolf. The line "Heavy metal thunder, racing with the wheels" was the first time the term was used in rock music. The Heavy Metal Kids were a street gang in William Burroughs book Nova Express. Also the name of a band fronted by Gary Holton, worth a listen to. 5 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because If you are on a ship and look out for the gradient posts you’ll see some point upwards with something like 1in 100 written on them , others point down with something like 1in 240 on them and in between they are straight with level written on them. It’s so the driver of the ship knows whether to put some more coal on or not. Hope this helps. 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jazzer, I've been thinking about this and at 4" per mile that would be a gradient of 1:15840, however, the shape of the Earth rather than being roughly spherical (tri-oblate spheroid) that would be covered in fosseths as a geodesic dome is made up from fosseths. Also that should the earth be rounded rather than having a surface made up from fosseths then the gradient posts should be renamed to differential posts as all of the gradients would be transient sections of any given part of the curved in relation to any axis set as azimuth to datum against. I think I had better get on with my Pullmans ! Gibbo. 2 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones that are level point east-west. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
