    Conductivity of a material can be measured, unlike subjective bias...which cant.
    Too easy for folk to be a smart arse about these things without having tried it themselves.
    (so I've experienced)

    Quite enjoyed the last episode of Sherlock actually, watching not as a classic Holmes story gone wrong but as something different on its own.
    It was said 'tongue in cheek' Garry - I wasn't casting aspersions. As you rightly say, I haven't tried the graphene fuses, so I have no right to be sarcastic.

    If, as your link states, that graphene is 100x more conductive than copper, then perhaps a graphene filament might have a lower resistance than a 1/4" copper rod.

    Too young to watch Taxi (but I always heard the theme tune whilst in bed) and never liked any of the american comedy stuff apart from Sledge Hammer... Black Adder for me every time. Python, Faulty Towers, League of Gentlemen, Inside No.9, Spaced, Jeeves & Wooster, The IT Crowd.

    Never liked Little Britain or The Office though.

    Agree with Gaz about Night Court and Barney Miller. They never seem to repeat them, which is a shame. My father watched all the American shows as he was from that part of the world so never any issues with clashing preferences. We only got a video recorder so he could tape the baseball since it was on in the middle of the night.

    Give me The League of Gentlemen, Fawlty Towers. Little Britain or Chewin' the Fat, and I'll be soaking my knickers accordingly!

    Marco.
    Fawlty Towers and Python I like but League and Little I detest. Loved the Good Life too.

    Re Family Guy, its amusing at times, as is South Park, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch them.

    IT Crowd was very funny, but ran out of steam towards the end. Jen and the internet button was hilarious. Not that keen on Black Adder Taxi I watched but its too long ago that I can't recall much of it but I liked it but not massively.

    Yes, I also enjoyed the Good Life. Felicity Kendal was rather cute!

    Yes, I forgot about fooking South Park - another load of bollocks from the same stable of banality!

    I'd have thought Marco would like South Park; it's basically three words daily in cartoon form.
