They donā€™t bro.

Did mammy never bring you to lahinch for the day?

Itā€™s very simple mateā€¦ Thereā€™s two bulges of water caused by the sun and moon on either side of usā€¦ We rotate in and out of these bulges. So tides donā€™t rise and fall, we rotate into a bulge and back out of it.

The moonā€™s bulge is obviously much biggerā€¦ But the point is that the bulge already existsā€¦ It doesnā€™t come and go, or rise and fall, thatā€™s the fallacy of human experience and language at playā€¦weā€™re the ones that come and go as we rotate in and out of the bulgeā€¦ So if anything is tidal itā€™s us humansā€¦

Wow, thatā€™s deep man.

Up your bollix @EstebanSexface.

You could test that theory in your bath if you had sensitive enough instruments.

It hurts having to talk to these Neanderthals at timesā€¦ But we all have our crosses etc.

Went out and drove the oul 18 yr old diesel 90 mile just to make sure. Cold out there. Got the wood burner going. Cosy now. Told the wife I want a fry in the morning and a good sirloin for my dinner.

Irelandā€™s been cold too long.

He is stealing your schtik

Didsbury is 42 Metres above sea level so we can safely assume itā€™s not tidal.

correct - the tidal section is as far as irwell junction where the Manchester canal joins it

That fat cunt Boris was in didsbury this morning. What the fuck he thought staring at a muddy lake would do to help matters with kids isolated out of school, people dying by the thousand, and the economy in the toilet I donā€™t know.
Heā€™d make a good sandbag.

To be fair here got skewered last year for failing to show up at the flooding. He appears to be a quick learner

There are no tides.

OK, why are there 4 changes in tidal level a day? 2 High and 2 Low. You ham. Remember now - the Earth spins on itā€™s axis - night and day - if your theory were correct thereā€™d be high bulge and low bulge. You seem to think the water is stationary

I explained all that already. We rotate in and out of gravitational bulges. The water doesnā€™t rise and fallā€¦ it doesnā€™t come in, or go outā€¦ Itā€™s always at the level itā€™s at. We pass through it and it appears like the water is rising but itā€™s not.

Actually at full moon the bulges are bigger due to the sun chiming in in the act so bulges/tides do get bigger.

so the sea doesnā€™t rotate with the Earth - lol

That was quick

I said tide so youā€™d understandā€¦ Itā€™s how we have grasped the notion. Iā€™ll still continue to use it as itā€™s the agreed upon term but the actions we think the term describes are wrong.

you think the water doesnā€™t rotate with the earth :smiley:
