One of my favourite people on Only Fools And Horses was Uncle Albert I think Albert Trotter is really funny and very good to. He’s one of my favourites specially when he put coffee in the Gravy by accident on one of the episodes it was so funny he was so good to.

One of my most favourite comedy’s ever Only Fools And Horses I love it me and my brother Dan love it to and we love watching it all the time we think it’s so funny. We also use to watch it at my grandmas house when we were younger to we use to watch it at my grandmas when we use to sleep they when we were little to. We still watch it now on Netflix and on sky plus we love doing impressions of some of the Only Fools And Horses episodes for a giggle and a laugh to.

I can’t wait until Classic Emmerdale 1997 is over and then it’s the start of 98 on Classic Emmerdale from when I was eleven years old when I was in my last year at Glebe School and then when I was twelve years old in my first year at Southlands School in the back end of 1998. I can’t wait to see it all because I’m getting a little bit tired of Classic Emmerdale 97 so I can’t wait until the new year of 98 of Classic Emmerdale.

I really love watching Dark Side Of The Ring real life wrestling documentaries about other wrestlers and different issues about other wrestlers in real life and what’s gone on in the wrestling business. It’s also about other wrestlers who have been murdered and other wrestlers who have murdered other people. I watch these real life wrestling documentaries on YouTube on my iPad so it’s not just me watching wrestling and it’s not just about wrestlers wrestling each other it’s about real life issues that have happened to other wrestlers in real life and other people involved and I love watching it all the time.

lovely winters night at St Mary’s island I went for a nice evening walk down to St Mary’s island with my mum earlier tonight and it was a lovely evening to go out for a walk.

The TGV (French: Train à Grande Vitesse, high-speed train) is France’s high-speed rail service. The idea of a high-speed train in France was born about twenty years before the first TGVs entered service. At that time, about 1960, a radical new concept was thought up; combining very high speeds and steep grades would allow a railway to follow the contours of existing terrain, like a gentle roller coaster. Instead of one or two percent grades which would be considered steep in normal applications, grades up to four percent would be feasible, thus allowing more flexible (and cheaper) routing of new lines. Over the next several years, this very general idea gave rise to a variety of high speed transportation concepts, which tended to move away from conventional “wheel on rail” vehicles. Indeed, the French government at the time favoured more “modern” air-cushioned or maglev trains, such as Bertin‘s Aérotrain; Steel wheel on rail was considered a dead-end technology. Simultaneously, SNCF (the French national railways) was trying to raise the speeds of conventional trains into the range 180 to 200 km/h (110 to 125 mph) for non-electrified sections, by using gas turbines for propulsion. Energy was reasonably cheap in those years, and gas turbines (originally designed for helicopters) were a compact and efficient way to fulfil requirements for more power. Following on the TGS prototype in 1967, SNCF introduced gas turbine propulsion with the ETG (Elément à Turbine à Gaz, or Gas Turbine Unit) turbotrains in Paris – Cherbourg service, in March 1970.

The desire for higher speeds and the successful development of the turbotrain program are two ideas that came together in the late 1960s, further spurred on by the 1964 start of the Japanese Shinkansen high-speed train. They were embodied in a joint program between SNCF and industry to explore the possibility of a high speed gas turbine unit. The project, initiated in 1967, was entitled “Rail Possibilities on New Infrastructures” and was code-named C03. The experimental X4300 TGS railcar, predecessor of the ETG, had been tested at speeds up to 252 km/h (157 mph) in October 1971, and gave promising results. Since the very high speed lines envisioned by SNCF called for speeds of 250 km/h to 300 km/h (155 mph to 186 mph), SNCF had Alsthom-Atlantique build a special high speed turbotrain prototype to test out some concepts in high speed rail. Thus was born the turbotrain TGV 001, standing for Train à Grande Vitesse, or High Speed Train 001.

Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering. An optical effect called Tyndall scattering explains blue eyes. Distant objects appear more blue because of another optical effect called aerial perspective.

Blue has been an important colour in art and decoration since ancient times. The semi-precious stone lapis lazuli was used in ancient Egypt for jewellery and ornament and later, in the Renaissance, to make the pigment ultramarine, the most expensive of all pigments. In the eighth century Chinese artists used cobalt blue to colour fine blue and white porcelain. In the Middle Ages, European artists used it in the windows of cathedrals. Europeans wore clothing coloured with the vegetable dye woad until it was replaced by the finer indigo from America. In the 19th century, synthetic blue dyes and pigments gradually replaced mineral pigments and synthetic dyes. Dark blue became a common colour for military uniforms and later, in the late 20th century, for business suits. Because blue has commonly been associated with harmony, it was chosen as the colour of the flags of the United Nations and the European Union.^[2]
