Graphene - the most overhyped material of the 21st century.

I read some bizarre claims about the miracle material in the Evening Standard the other night. The worst - that the act of lifting your phone from your desk to you ear would completely charge it.

Considering the Stannit is published by the Daily Wail group, are you surprised?
|
|
|
|
|
Not for a while actually. It's part of The Independent group.

Just a quick Fat Chick, shows the Wail still holds 25%, while the Lebedevs hold 75%. The Lebebdevs also own the Indie.
So I'm still right.

Exactly. Real scientists been trying for years to find something that they can actually do with it, rather than just blather on about what they might be able to do with it.

That's pretty freakin amazing!
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

There really are some clever buggers in the world, aren't there? Brilliant work.

I can only assume they were too drunk to spell "PUB STOP" correctly

Perhaps they were POST PUB when they did the job!!

Some one needs to tell that ^&*% bus to keep off the stop specifically designed for the Bangladesh University of Professionals[bup]!

I complained to the local council
The councillor reassured me that "the bup stops here"

Damn it, I wanted to write that!
Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant Anonymous ----- The problem with quotes on the internet is that you can never tell if they're genuine Winston Churchill, 1944 ----- I'd just like a chance to prove that money can't make me happy. Me, all the time

In fairness, that joke was in one of the tweets shown in the article...

Wouldn't know anything about that, I'm afraid. I'm not a bird...

I thought misspelling was only on this side of the pond.

No, there is misspelling in the UK, but in the US it's systemic and in Canada it's catching on. Being an ex-Brit in Canada, I've been fighting a losing rearguard action for years. My favourites:
Loose instead of lose
"A different tact" (tack)
"A mute point" (moot)
"Chalk full" (chock)
"Per say" and variants instead of "per se" (latin for "as such")
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

That's what you get for allowing them to do overtime on Saturday mornings.
