The latter is now sleeping with the fishes under Lea Bridge. A pox on

Time for a letter pointing out their negligence in selecting slippery
surfaces for such a route?

I presume you'll be taking the matter up with someone a little more
directly than the above? Best of luck, if so...

Not before we cut off their goolies with a lump of knobbly sheet steel.

Ouchie, indeed. Hope the holes in the person heal soon.

To be environmentally responsible and not waste electrons can we give
this phrase a number that we quote whenever the reply is warranted?

I thought you'd be telling them that they are bad men and they run a
bad railway.

STABB ?

(*) How so?
How many electrons are used by a house using a 1KW electric fire for a

Sorry to hear about that. What happened? I used to live half a mile from
that bridge, and cycle to work under it. It's a manky old corner, what
with the bridge, mud, random concrete and cobbled ramp into the park, but
i never really had a problem with it.

I do dislike people who are kind to others. The goolies should only
be cut off with the leftover end of a rusty corrugated iron shed.

If anyone can explain to me why energy [joules] = mass [kg] * (c [ms^-1])^2
works without a conversion of units, when the units involve such arbitrary
elements as the density of water and the length of a second, I'd be very
grateful. But it seems to be what everything says.

energy is force * distance :

force = mass * acceleration, units are kg * m/s^2

So one newton = 1 kgm/s^2

1 Joule = 1 kgm/s^2 * 1 m = 1kg(m/s)^2

Ouch I know exactly what you mean, I have to negotiate two cattle grids
on our road. On the way home from the pub on wet nights they are deadly
and I have had a ground level view of the metal bars on several
occasions.

All down to the wet metal of course, nothing to do with the beer.

I didn't think they were "used", more kind of "borrowed".

How many would flow through the system in 1/50 second given a peak voltage
of 440 (RMS 250) and a sinusoidal distribution for potential (assuming flow
is proportional to potential..)

A railway so bad that the track bed is completely flooded all the
time.

Trick question. AC, so the net movement of electrons is effectively nil;
they just shake back and forth a bit. However there is a difference
between a net movement and 'use'.
