😳 oh boy just saw this 😂😂😂😂👇🤷‍♂️

@ProfBrianCox Do you think they would go to that corner shop in werneth, next to where Dave Cowell lived?

A few more thoughts on the possibility of life beyond Earth. All these thoughts are guesses. The lack of firm evidence for alien intelligence (so far) is sometimes called the Fermi Paradox, and it is a paradox. Put simply, there has been over 10 billion years and there are many millions of worlds in the Milky Way on which a civilisation could have arisen as far as we know. At first sight, one might therefore expect that there should be many civilisations in the galaxy far in advance of us, and we might have expected to see them. Why don’t we (or, let’s be careful, why is the evidence not bloody obvious!)? One answer might be that civilisations never develop interstellar travel. I don’t see any reason why interstellar travel is impossible, and I think we’ll develop it if we survive into the 22nd century. Related - perhaps civilisations don’t ever solve the problems posed by industrialisation and the discovery of nuclear weapons and never make it to the stars. Topical - see Oppenheimer!Maybe just ‘getting along’ as a global civilisation is harder than science. Maybe (see UFO hearings) they are here but we haven’t discovered them or somebody knows but has managed to keep it a secret? Maybe. But if this is the case then at least I can say that the alien civilisations aren’t making their presence very obvious, otherwise my Astronomy colleagues who spend their time gazing at the sky and listening for signals would surely have spotted them! But let’s not rule out the possibility that we just haven’t detected them (or there is evidence but only a few people know about it) but they are indeed here. My guess is that the average number of civilisations in a typical galaxy is low - perhaps less than 1. That’s a guess, based on what we know about the evolution of complex life on Earth. Put simply, it took the best part of 4 billion years here to go from cell to civilisation, and that’s a third of the age of the Universe. I think this MAY imply that, if this is typical (lots of ifs) then the Milky Way may be filled with microbes but not complex living things at our level of intelligence. This would be my guess. BUT make no mistake, I wouldn’t be in the least bit surprised if a UFO landed in Oldham town centre tomorrow morning and the captain said ‘Take me to the leader of Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council’. In that case the Fermi Paradox would no longer be a paradox, I’d have learnt a lot about biology and I could get back to tweeting about other interesting stuff. I’d also ask them why gravity is so weak relative to the other forces of Nature.

Retweet if you ever ate digestives with margarine on back in the day.

• The Secretary of State for Health receives £151,649. His food is subsidised; his travel, energy & parking free. • A newly qualified nurse is on £20k- £22k pa, pay £1300pa parking, rely on food banks & pay all of their energy costs. The Sec of State won’t discuss pay.

Do you know why?

Admit you're old and Retweet if you know what this is...

didn't the actor who played pet e kill himself by Russian roulette?

Sundays with Van 🕶

Is that fringe with a M?

And on a VERY serious note ... xx

Rishi Sunak tells This Morning that if he goes to McDonald's with his daughters they all get the breakfast wrap... as a breakfast wrap aficionado I can confirm they were taken off the menu in March 2020 due to Covid, and in January it was confirmed they will never return!

And still a cunt.

Couldn't imagine how much this brought back loads of memories. And didn't you hate getting a dud.

@carpetright.uk bought a carpet from you. Not fitted yet so suggest you don't ask me for feedback before it is. I'm sure it will be fine but wait until job's done?

Not me, we had dolphin badges.

That's why the Jewish and Muslim way is so good. Dead & buried within 3 days.

Bit of a drive for John Travolta, but for any #Hollywood film stars planning to be near #Otley, sure we have a multi-million pound Wetherspoons, but we've also got an independent local microbrewery you could visit and set us up for a year. #SupportSmallBusinesses
