NB To convert Kelvin into Celsius add 273. So 0C is 273K. The freezing point of water varies according to atmospheric pressure/altitude by the way.


Exactly, as you can tell from the ideal gas equation, pV=nRT
where p is pressure in kilopascals, V is volume in metres cubed, n is the number of moles of the substance, T is the temperature in kelvin and R is the gas constant, 8.31 joules per kelvin per mole.

Actually I kept thinking about a BBC One Christmas ident last night! It was meant to be set when the balloon was still going, and it would be Santa coming down the chimney into this warm living room, reaching into his sack of presents and taking out a mini-BBC balloon, flown by a little elf creature!

And then there would be all the possible trailers, and so I thought up one for BBC Two - a giant snow-2 (bigger than the one from 2002), with all these little icy 2s skating around it. For joint promotions, they are revealed to be skating outside the same house where Santa and the balloon are.

Impossible, perhaps, but nice if the balloons were still going.

My theory the reason why this Christmas thread is up soo early is because were all sick and tierd of summer heat, we can't wait for cold weather.

Right or Wrong? Wink

It would only be sad if someone asked you to post caps of your dream.

Got any caps? Laughing

I dreamt about one in January. A Christmas version of Bollywood. More like a nightmare. I'm not joking either!

Yes, I should think; sounds horrid... Laughing

...Although, surely not as bad as dreaming about a new ident / rebrand just before it happens, only to find on the launch day that the real thing is many times worse than what you had imagined yourself.

Well I had a nightcap.....yeah..lets not go there Wink

It was sort of a new version of the stop-motion animation technique the BBC used circa 1990. Might have been because I watched the original titles to Noel's House Party the night before. Confused

I'm going to stop now. Laughing
