Women dye their hair to cover the greys you men cause us and thats the truth ask any woman. Women do talk just you men never listen unless its about sport or beer . We wouldnt have to maon and groan if you men paid us some attention and just went along with our plans or what we say instead of going against us .

There have been some brilliant female minds in many important scientific discoveries over the past 100 years or so, as I`ve mentioned on another topic on here some month`s back. These young women were put down by many of the male species of the time, despite the fact that they were eventually proved right in what they had discovered. MAJOR discoveries, but there were so many ignorant, arrogant and pompous male professor`s teacher`s etc of the time who pushed them aside and refused to believe anything they said. The brilliant English scientist Cecilia Payne, shunned by the Cambridge lot, when she postulated the sun was burning hydrogen as fuel, (she was spot on of course), but neither Britain or America, (where she tried to convince them), would have it. The Austrian Lise Meitner, cheated out of her discoveries by her German colleague, Otto Hahn. The young 24 year old Polish scientist Marya Salomee, the Irish astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell, the discoverer of pulsars in the 1960s who missed out on a nobel prize which went to her thesis supervisor instead. So, I can`t speak in politics, but in the science world, women have done very well, and there would`ve been other`s I`m sure if the arrogant males of the time had given more encouragement.

Astronomer`s, astronomy, test pilot`s, it`s all under the umbrella of science Sid. Don`t forget your Edwin Hubble above was an astronomer. You can`t fly rocket`s or planes without science.

My wife regularly fires a rocket and she requires NO science, just a target, ME!!!!
Colin - I think I love you.
Sid, Howard, Brian - be afraid, be very afraid......................
As my old mucker Gene used to sing, "Shaking all over"!!
You better believe it. Rockets - pah! I fart in their general direction.
