It was from a medical facility - a source was thrown in the smelt.  It was first found in Otis lift buttons, but has turned up all over the globe. I've had one safety relief valve manufacturer receive some seat internals contaminated. Everyone's uppity when you mention the radioactive contamination levels, its always below 1mSv/a.

There's a good Powerpoint presentation from a German government department on it. If you do a Google search you will come up with the offending foundries.

Materal test certs faked? Good heavens, from India, wot?

We digress.....where's this TMC fellow?

Question:

Why do we get all this social class & political stuff shoved onto the clothing forums?

If the guys in question were any good then shouldn't they be on political forums elsewhere?

Could it be that their various opinions and debating skills just aren't good enough for those spaces & so they seek to colonise other subjects to spread their opinions?

The above is not really about Tom but the whole BS nature of people's various agendas on the menswear forums out there.

'Gentlemen' this & 'Gentleman' that.

The curse of the iGent!

True. 

But some can go too far in trying to hijack the subject with their own agendas.

Clothes usually have multiple meanings.

You're fine. I had a go too. Not much to do with clothes though.

The horrible question sooner or later is who cares what people believe?

All i want to know is what i should wear to church.

Rather agree there, Bulldog.  We could pull our support from Israel tomorrow and US-Arab relations wouldn't change a jot.  Might even make the Arabs bolder.  Picking fights with the US gives secondary or tertiary powers clout internally and externally.  Why else do we have these squablings with North Korea and that joker Chavez.  It's pure posturing wrapped up in the tired rhetoric of anti-colonialism that gains status for the speaker.  As the biggest game going, we cannot avoid being on the recieving end.

So, Bulldog, you seem to have a somewhat conservative theoretical bent where foreign policy is concerned.  You a Fukuyama man, Huntingtonian or a votary of Niall Ferguson?

I love the smell of American hegemony in the morning.
