40 years ago it would have been the NF marching, like they did through Lewisham.

All my bee's died this year, was that 5G?

I love a good squabble. Much better than the usual whingeing on here.

Good riddance.

Just over two weeks now.

Any progress on this?

Anyone.

Dear book group, Once again we will be having another Zoom meeting this coming Wednesday. If you wish to take part drop me an email and I can send the link. Chick.

This can't be much of a problem as he asked for help but doesn't check his PM's.

Just a reminder that we have a Zoom session next Wednesday at 8.00pm. See you Wednesday. I have enjoyed both books. Peter I'll drop your copy off later today. Thanks for the loan. Chick.

I have a sound pressure level meter you can use. I have sent you a pm.

Just a reminder!

Good luck.

Was Hitler intelligent? Of average intelligence like most of us I think. But the question should be ?was he clever?? in relation to the atomic bomb project he initiated. I think not: The German project had fundamental flaws from its conception. Many top German scientists had left Germany, some of them Jewish ?migr?s fleeing the new laws of German National Socialism. Other scientists left in protest, significantly decreasing the number of experts available to work on a German bomb. A substantial number eventually came to the United States to work on the Manhattan Project. It was Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner who discovered fission, well, Meitner actually though Hahn did his best to take the credit. She was from Jewish extract but became a protestant but had to flee to Stockholm and Hahn began to erase her from the history of fission, even having her name removed from the lab they shared but still had to correspond with her to help him understand fission. Heisenberg claimed after the war he had sabotaged the German project but in reality he got the mean free path of neutrons required for a chain reaction wrong, calculating one ton of enriched uranium would be required in fact it was one Kg. From July 3, 1945, to January 3, 1946, the Allies incarcerated ten German nuclear physicists a the English country estate of Farm Hall, their goal being to obtain information about the German nuclear research project by way of surreptitiously taped conversations. They were shocked when they heard about the atomic bombs dropped by America having made such a fundamental flaw in their calculations. So if Hitler didn?t have such a hatred for Jews and had imprisoned the top Jewish scientists from Germany and Eastern Europe who fled to America and worked on the Manhattan Project we may have had a different out come. Fortunately he was more impressed by Von Braun and his rockets. https://www.sdsc.edu/ScienceWomen/meitner.html

Why don't you just talk to them?

Thanks

Dear book group, Our Zoom meeting went well. The next Zoom meeting will be on Wednesday 20th May at 8.00 pm . Thanks to Sahar for organising. We will be reading two books this month: The Course of Love by Alain deBoton. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27845690-the-course-of-love And the Love of Seven Doll?s by Paul Gallico: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/338673.Love_of_Seven_Dolls The Love of Seven Doll?s by Paul Gallico may be hard to find. Good to see everyone and I look forward to our next meeting in the Clock when it opens. Cheers,

Talking to my wife.

Dear book group, I am going to attempt a group meeting for Wednesday 22nd at 8.00pm. This from Sheila: The book club with my ex-work colleagues has started using Zoom which I found easy to set up and use. You only get 40 mins free but the organiser can sign up for second session a few minutes later which is what we did so we could have a short break. The organiser gets a code which they email to all the participants which they then use to log on to the meeting. It does need someone to coordinate responses because if more than one person speaks at a time no one can hear. We use a hand up signal when we want say something and the coordinator then invites us to speak. Also everyone must turn off mobiles, radio and TV or it interferes. Someone answered her mobile and we could hear the conversation clearly. Participants can mute if they need to speak to someone at home or answer a call. In short it needs a few rules and disciplined use by participants. I thought it was very good and a lot more user friendly than Microsoft Teams which was used for another meeting. So I?ll include a link to Zoom and if you wish you can install it: https://zoom.us/download Also I have had a request to open up the email group so everyone can see everyone else?s email address. I have no objection but a couple of concerns. One is the GDPR regulations but as a book group I suspect we can ignore these. The other is people replying ?to all? might cheese some people off. I think we should try it and see. If you do get fed up with lots of emails we can sort that at the time. I do however need your permission to do so and will only do so if it?s nor against the GDPR regulations. So please can I have some feed back on this, so far I have had only two emails about these issues. All the best,

Hope he turns up soon.
