Think chess, ballet and athleticism all rolled into a diamond confection. Then drink a bottle of Bordeaux while negotiating a very important... while you're waiting. Then hitch a warp drive to a future where "On The Road" meets" Men In Black 3," and all your communicates (people who communicate?) are in various different zones of the time, and you're diligently trying to forget to respond.

Then decide you can't handle war drive, what with 4.4 hours until first pitch, and try to figure out the time problem. Which collapsed timeline should i choose, Griffin?

I've chosen the one where i go out to buy cigarettes for the evening festivities, and trust i will return to the command control flight deck.

Or not.

Cheshire MP George Osborne has been arguing with ticket collectors after he refused to sit in standard class on a train to London. He had a standard class ticket but sat in first class.

Our reporter Rachel Townsend is on the train. She said:

"George Osborne got on the train with aides at Wilmslow and went straight to first class. Then his aide approached the ticket collector right next to me. He said he is travelling with George and he has a standard ticket but can he remain in first class?

"The guard said no. The aide said Osborne couldn't possibly sit in standard class. The guard replied saying if he wants to stay it's £160.

Quite right, your Veeble guy.

Seriously, it's scary how little I care about it. Especially compared to how scarily over-invested I was last time around.

On the whole, still looks like Obama's ahead in the states he needs, but very little margin for error if the race stabilizes at this level.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.

He also gives the democrats 88% chance of winning the senate, with the republicans at 12% (independents counted with the party they are likely to caucus with).

Of course, they still say it's algae that's the real hope.

It's been the same old song for years.

Other companies are working on ways of improving the technology of carbon capture, which is considered far too costly to be commercially viable as it costs up to £400 for capturing one ton of carbon dioxide.

However, Professor Klaus Lackner of Columbia University in New York said that the high costs of any new technology always fall dramatically.

"I bought my first CD in the 1980s and it cost $20 but now you can make one for less than 10 cents. The cost of a light bulb has fallen 7,000-fold during the past century," Professor Lackner said.

The cost of making a CD was always a pittance compared to the price they were sold at. A bit of obfuscation to motivate financing.
