I have a cunning plan.We will wait for the comet to get close enough.Then launch a mission to land astronauts and miners on its surface.Holes will be drilled and clever bombs inserted.They will be detonated simultaneously diverting the asteroid from its destructive path and in turn saving mankind. Whaddaya think ?
The asteroid hit Earth about 3.5 billion years ago.

AS PART OF the Government’s plans giving people the right to request to work from home, it also has plans for a code of practice on the right to disconnect from work.
With the rise of the digital age, work emails, calls and texts can spill into people’s time off more and more often, particularly mid-week. This may be particularly tricky during the pandemic when people are stuck at home and don’t have other social engagements.
So we’re asking: Have you been successful at not doing work outside of official hours since the pandemic began?

Sounds like a documentary I saw once.
The plan may work but will need the skills of men like Ben Affleck and John McLaine.
Job for Batman
Cunning indeed 3m.
Perhaps you could expand your plan to have emotionally damaged individuals staffing these dangerous missions so that as well saving the world we can also observe the multi layered complexities of… for example, the Father/Daughter relationship.
Aw heyor now Dave , I’m just a simple lad from nowhere , I haven’t got time for dilly dallying right now.The fate of all mankind depends on us keeping our cool and achieving our mission.Outta my way , we gotta planet to save.
Sorry 3, excitement got the better of me and I was a bit all over the place there.
A bit like trying to piss with a horn… We’ve all been there!
It is possible Dave , with concentration , it is possible .
Sounds like a plan! And I don’t wanna miss a thing
Final word 3,
How does one remove piss stains from the ceiling?
My concentration is not the best.
Outta here….
Daveo ( I feel like I know you now , hence the Dave-o ) my honest guess is that removing the stain is a futile exercise.I would aim ( pardon the pun) to cover the ceiling area making it a uniform yellow.HTH
