Re: Buttered Cats - Discuss
So how bad is the environmental impact on marine life - the property companies say that they are creating environments for new reefs to grow but I thought that they took centuries to grow back? The diving in Dubai really sucks, I know that much...

So from what you have seen so far how does it compare to other places that are more eco friendly.
I can remember in Baharain they had a smelting plant near Sitra/Riffa, it smelt disgusting, i always wondered about the conditions and quality control of waste disposal there.

Where there are large infrastructure investments from the big international companies (e.g., aluminium smelters or desalination plants) they use much stricter international environmental standards - as they are beholding to their shareholders back home who expect nothing less.

Corals grow as soon as they land on a clean surface. The staghorn corals are fast growing (1 year) others take longer (2-3 years) to establish a good cover, but certainly not centuries.
Sorry got to go the Aussie Legends quiz night now. See y'all.

During construction of The Palms, there was / is short-term suspended sediment impacts, which affects water quality (low visibility for divers). Many areas of The Palms are on sandy seabed, which is not rich in sea life, with only isolated patches of coral. The 4.5 m high breakwaters provide rocky surfaces and voids that are colonised by a wide variety of marine life, including corals and fish assemblages. So, overall marine diversity and biomass are likely to be higher than before, despite the large footprints of The Palms. Between the palm fingers, seagrasses are being encouraged naturally and via transplantation.

Thanks for the info MacS - good to know that diving in Dubai is likely to get better at some stage. Who would have thought that buttery cats would end up as an informative discussion!!
Have a nice evening, all, am off to Tapas land now.

Speaking of which shouldn't the intrepid BE team be making tracks for legends, too, so that MH can have her terets moment and MM her blonde one?

Forget the cats - I'm thinking about the toast.
I had heard this thing about toast always lands the same way up (ie buttered side down), and discovered to my chagrin that it was true.
But you lot really must be stupid...... you should do what I do these days......
........ drop the toast BEFORE YOU BUTTER IT........

If you throw a cat from a tall building and noone is around to hear it, does it make a noise?
