    How to heat my swimming pool?

    Is Newcastle in hot water? Scientists begin drilling beneath city in plan to harness renewable energy source | Mail Online


    Engineers have started drilling a hole 2,000 meters below Newcastle in the hope of harnessing renewable energy.
    The £900,000 project is being carried out by a team from Newcastle and Durham universities who hope to discover a natural source of hot water - with a temperature of about 80C - below the surface of the city.
    The resulting geothermal heat would be used to supply power to a planned science park and surrounding city centre buildings.




    Anyone got a reallly long drill bit for my Bosch cordless?

        Get a long extension lead and swim up and down with a little electric heater fan.

              For £900,000 they could have given everyone in Newcastle a kettle.

                Wouldn't they just melt them down and turn them into knuckle dusters ?

                  Possibly.

                  Knew a lovely chap from Newcastle while at uni. He was called Geordie, unoriginally. First time I met him, he tried to sell me a Schecter guitar but his accent was so strong I couldn't follow the negotiation and it ended in a rather awkward, embarrassing silence.
