From The Daily Mail:
A claustrophobic mortgage banker has told the story of how a round of golf ended up with him plunging into a sinkhole that opened as he walked across the 14th hole...
The story has a very sad ending.
He survived to tell the tale with a broken shoulder rather than being sucked down into our planet's molten iron core.

Even golf courses hate bankers

You have to be careful about this: the earth's inner core is solid ; the outer core is liquid.
On the geographical front: did you see on Newsnight that sunspot activity has diminished to practically nil, so solar flares are less frequent ? This is while some scientists are still banging on about an imminent Carrington event putting all electronic and magnetic systems out of action.
What do man-made global warming experts make of it all?
DBC,
Newsnight bullshit. See, e.g., http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/SolarCycle/sunspot.gif
( National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
We're roughly at the middle of solar cycle 24, which is a quiet one but the count is nowhere near nil.
Also the sunspot count does not correlate with flare strength. So more bullshit.
It wasn't a sink hole. It was the cup. It's just that with the inflation caused by FRB the cup had got a bit bigger than expected...
@VFS
The graph you cite could n't be more different from the Newsnight account! There was reference to the Maunder Minimum in this. Very odd.Many thanks.
DBC,
Maunder is a different story. There are indications that a cold phase is starting. But I wouldn't rely on autocue readers to try and explain it.

Don't think I gave a very accurate summary of the Newsnight story: I kept going to sleep.A full-ish account is given on Net : Rebecca Morelle Is our sun falling silent.Odd that : I did n't realise the sun had ever been particularly noisy.
