Thanks for all your posts guys.
I really appreciate them.
Have you listened to Richard Hoagland's interview on 'Coast to Coast' radio show with Art Bell. It is really interesting. (2001 I think this was)

The bulge of water going round the earth is said to be caused by the moon.
This is probably true, but I also think that something else is involved which makes this bulge of water bigger. That is centrifugal force. The Earth spins on an axis at the poles, centrifugal force causes the bulge and a pole shift would send that water god knows where.
How would you think that a pole shift would effect the moon?
Surely for the poles to shift the speed of rotation of the earth would change.
Would the moon get closer if the speed of rotation of the earth slowed down?
