Must be said Rush life by the Colossus Choir is a very good song.

8x2m mirrors are possible but they are foil based. They wouldn't shatter like glass more just flex when under vibration. The joints of the mirrors would be pretty noticeable and would certainly spoil any effect trying to be achieved.

You can't just watch the clip, the whole suggestion is throughout the entire show. You also need to be able to see it in standard television format which is not normally possible over the internet.

Oh Cameron also claimed that the leader of ISIS may be happy with Brexit. Far more ludicrous scaremongering from the remain campaign than the leave.

I imagine it varies because the different routes and endings are not all the same length.

The European official's with the council's backing can enforce what ever they like and completely ignore the European parliament. The UK has voted against the council 72 times and has lost on 72 occasions. We are pretty much powerless to stop new ridiculous laws being introduce. The only way we can stop stuff is using our veto of which it seems Cameron has actually given some of our veto powers away.
The eu has quotas on how much we can import from country's outside the eu. Pushing prices up as cheap steel cant be imported to make cheaper goods. Same with food and other goods. So we are locked in the trade area of inefficient production unable to be competitive on the global market because of being in the eu so we must trade with the eu as everyone has the same high price problem. Leaving will cause an economic shock but we will recover and able to trade globally instead (Switzerland is a good example of this). So the economy will end up performing better and we will have control over our government. A government we can change every 5 years unlike the EU where you have pretty much no influence at all.

Well the brain does tend to focus on the negative.

I seriously struggle to see why people would vote to be part of a system like that.

I think it goes to the Council who ratify it (same Council that will authorise or deny our request to withdraw should we vote that way) then member states have to implement it, there is little choice involved, some Countries (like us) have vetos but most don't.
A law is come up with by EU officials (not elected) who then give it to the EU parliament who vote on the matter. Then the law is given to the council (not elected) who then decide on the matter. If in agreement the law is passed, in disagreement the council can either completely ignore the parliaments decision or change the legislation and send it back to parliament once the European officials have approved it again.
The parliament can not suggest new laws nor can it get old laws removed. All it can do is approve or deny legislation from the officials who create these laws in secret (legally must be behind closed doors) and even then the council can ignore parliament anyway. The 72 times the UK has voted against EU legislation it has won 0 times. 1 in 5 EU workers gets paid more than the UK's prime ministers salary and on top of that I am 99% sure that without looking it up no one can name me more than 3 EU officials.

A question which I have been thinking about which I know the answer to but wondered if anyone else knew is how does the EU get a new law.
How does it work?

Lets watch the horrific Burger Kitchen and the pretty poor fried chicken company move in and replace them when KFC's and BK's contract ends.

The hitler comparison does have truth to it and the complete overreaction seems typical of the media to anything the leave campaign says.
The issue with banning the sale of high powered goods means even more redtape. There is so much regulation it is hindering development and the economy. For example there are 31 regulations for a toothbrush alone. 170 for a mirror. To develop a new product and sell it you have to know all these regulations which small business don't. Dont get me wrong some are needed but you could do the same with half the ammount.

Interesting EU article emerging which is about the EU planning to ban the sale of high powered inefficient electrical items such as kettles and toasters. Part of eu environmental targets the bill has been delayed until autumn to make sure it doesn't affect the brexit outcome.

That statement has since been added from when I originally read the article which is why I asked if merlin had actually issued a proper statement instead of
"We are in contact with her directly and will endeavour to reach a resolution,"
-
Merlin bothered to explain why she wasnt allowed to ride to the media yet?

The blades won't be running until next year, unfortunately, as it needs some work doing to them.
A motor and possibly some gears. That is literally all I can think of that makes up the blades mechanism (do correct me if I'm wrong). Did they give any more detail in why that will take a year to fix?

How often do you think that works LC?
Pursuing legal options of corporate damages and defamation against media companies often leads to follow up news articles being pulled or edited. The story grows much slower and forces reporters to get facts right. Presumably merlin is not following this course of action because legal fees are high and its bad for share holders in the short term. However this course of action is damaging in the long term as stories continue to grow with more and more ridiculous outlandish claims (Galatcica getting stuck upside down) and damaging customer satisfaction as now rides need to close in light rain in a city where it rains 106 days of the year.
I personally have thought for years that Merlins PR team aren't the best in the world and that dealing with situations like this is poor. Its gotten far worse over the last year as the frequency of these situations have increased drastically. The main issue I have with them is that they are so slow. It takes them days to get a response out when stories like this need a response in minutes and hours not days. On top of that the response given comes across as apologetic when really they should be defending themselves.
-
Merlin could just stick up to the media for once instead of shying away.
-
Well it is ridiculous seeing as in infernos 13 year existence it hasn't ever had to close for light rain. I would understand if it had always been a policy but it hasn't been and there is no good reason why it should change now. This is some over the top knee jerk reaction from the weak Merlin bosses. They have had time and time again to correct the media when they have said something stupid but they always do it way too late.
