      We could do it but British firms want to make money instantly, they just don't want to re-invest for the long term which is what you need if you want to build a brand.

      Just as something starts to get off the ground the investors are in China with their tape measures.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        I see the new car has only got three wheels like the old, but the innovative thing about the new design is that the rear wheel is on a corner, which makes turning right a doddle.

          That's interesting, in one post the word tulip hasn't been changed to tulip.

            That happens if the OP uses one of the tricks to bypass the swear filter. When it's quoted it gets quoted as plain text and the filter spots it.
