    if you really understand lubricants under those conditions

    can BlackenedBiker get his head up his @rse with the helmet on

    or does he have to remove it ?

    no googling


    Firstly can you stop rolling your eyes.

    I am going to lube up my helmet and shove it up my beeeeeehind.

    Nightie night

    Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

        Yes, in fact I do. Accumulation in the coastal regions is approximately 1-3 metres a year, with up to 5-10m precip. That's when it's not raining. It's hard to measure though, as re-distribution from blowing snow and melt events complicates it enormously. My job was to monitor automatic weather stations for 1 years and tie the data into cores taken from beneath them, so see how the meteorology was captured in the snow chemistry with view to use in deeper cores. This tied in with satellite data and model re-analysis/assimilation and back trajectory analysis, we wanted to understand the nature of air mass origin to chemical signatures - specifically identification of marine anions for air masses that had passed over open ocean rather than off the continent.

                If she's not who she says she is, it's pretty impressive Googling.

                  Another very long google answer

                  Must try harder

                    How about letting her ask you some questions?

                      Ask her a question and see how long it takes her to reply

                      Ask "her" bogus questions (such as "core sites" (these are not real things, I just made them up) and see if "she" calls you out. "She" would if "she" was a BAS vet.

                      Oh just so no-one thinks that I am the next Menelaus I have never been to the Antartic. Would love to go though.

                      Loving your work "Helen" keep it real
