    Yes but judging all leavers by this young lad would be like judging remainers on Tom...wouldnt be fair at all..

    International Women’s Day

    See your point but Diane Abbot isn't a symptom of positive discrimination but one of the prevalent unfairness. The gifted, well spoken, sensible and qualified get lost along the way..leaving the gobby forthright ignorant to carry the colours. Happens in industry,government and commerce. The...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Even the nominal inert gases produce narcotic effects under pressure. Nitrogen ( yes I know its not one of the inert gases)has to be removed from breathing gases below 130 ft to avoid Nitrogen narcosis. For many years Heliox ( around 5% O2/ 95% Helium, figures vary according to depth of dive)was...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is an easy solution, just carry a good powerful generator in the boot. Hondas are really quiet, passers by would hardly know it was charging car whilst parked wherever you want. Car would still attract no tax, T charge or congestion charge. What a result. Range and convenience of a petrol...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Just going back to CO2...done a little reading of NCB / diving/ medical emergency ... They seem to view concentrations under 5% ( by volume I,d assume) as none toxic. Cause for concern starts around 10% ( possible asphyxiation and acidosis around this value, dependant on %age O2) Death can be...

    But we were talking about concentrations of CO2 being toxic. You could add O2 to prevent suffocation. ( that's actually what first rebreathers did, ie merely replace depleted O2...modern rebreathers add O2 and wash out CO2...) I,ve actually no idea at what point the CO2 would become...

    Mmm. Its not surprising tho ...!! You,ll have to translate this Woosh.. I think I understand the methodology of CO poisoning.....its the CO2 that causes confusion. I don't think I,ve ever seen or heard of anyone dying from CO2 poisoning but lots of CO. Divers invariably recover from CO2...

    Tt To be fair our bodies do produce a bit of CO, not sure how, why or how its dealt with...but its made us all think ...a little bit.. Nice one.. Sounds a plan Flecc...I,m going back to petrol engined Van...but with an LPG wet conversion..They are loads better than they were...Slightly worse...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can see logic in your explanation but ( IMHO) there is a fundamental flaw. Lets assume CO is produced somewhere. ( its not at lungs, that is simply transfer medium) The CO would be carried back to lungs by haemoglobin...but the O2 levels are dwindling...so even if Haemoglobin released CO the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ps Yes, body does produce tiny amounts of CO but not in normal metabolism of food and breathing. ( that %age would stay constant in paper bag whilst breathing in and out of it...( We,d be poisoning ourselves all time otherwise, the blood grabs CO thinking its O..) Daniel Look up toxicity of...
