Have we not had this question before? Did it not land leave the stadium and land on a freight train?

Yes, that is why it's a retro Phoenix All yours!

What is the most dangerous job in the UK?

good one.
hmm, i'll guess fireman.

Nope. Despite their protestations, there are several more occupations more dangerous than being a fireman.

Working in the mines?

Matt

trawler man aint it....did enjoy that series last week. Friend of mine works on a fishing trawler out of iceland, supposedly 50 times more likely to die than any other job or summat

Tis indeed fishermen, which is the most dangerous job in the UK.

In America, it's actually tree-fellers who are most likely to snuff it.

... over to you JimmyMac...

ta, fairly straight forward this one, please no googling to start with as the answer is pretty damn easy to find.

Being a geologist at uni we were always concerned with time over a geological period....you'll know many such as the Jurrasic, Triassic etc.

but can anyone tell me the current Era, Period and Epoch that we are in?

There are loads of these questions on the itbox. I guess Permian.

only 225 million years out sir

Whoops.

I have now idea but another one I have heard of is pliecsene (probably spelt it wrong).

there are two with very similar names, the pleistocene and the pliocene, both are wrong but very close, your actually talking about an epoch there and your previous guess was a period.

Basically it works out as there are only 4 era's, each era is broken down into a period and then the period is broken down into an epoch. we shall see how this question goes, i might just give it to whoever gets one of the three parameters. Epoch, period or era

What the Hell, here's another random guess...
Permian

EDIT. just realised that was my first guess so


Devonian

Right. I'll go for Benazoic or some other word I might have imagined that might be the right answer.
