I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

My wife kept saying we should get a Dyson, but I wouldn't contribute to the cost so we bought a Henry.

He's not getting a penny my money.

Surely it's the cube pub?

It's easy. W is a vowel in Welsh. It sounds similar to ö in German and it can be modified as ŵ to elongate the sound such as in the word dŵr which means water.

Wrwgwai or Wcrain (for example) are the natural way to spell those countries using the Welsh alphabet. Its a highly phonetic language believe it or not.

Does nobody here wear shirts to work?

My dad went for cumin instead of cinnamon for his apple crumble. Then he finished his whole bowl telling us it's fine. Everyone obviously left theirs.

We've never let him live it down.

Yes! I had totally forgotten about the instant pang of shock and anger I would feel when that happened.

Not sure I agree with you that it was that bad, but I love the strength of your reaction.

A for effort, execution needs some improvement

You will need long term storage in both cases. Nuclear can't act as a peaker because you can't quickly ramp up or down the generation. Nuclear can only perform as baseload which, in theory, could be provided by a renewable energy mix if the install base is high enough.

I don't disagree with your point that it isn't a simple direct comparison but any sensible energy mix will still require storage. I find it difficult to see the economic case for nuclear if renewables can be installed in sufficient quantities, given that nuclear is roughly 4 times as expensive as solar and wind.

Won't somebody think about the poor hedge fund managers for once!?
