 ;D  Yes, quite confusing is that line.


But never mind that, I have been trying for the last 5 minutes or more to sing those words to Hound Dog.  I just can't do it.  Has anyone else tried? and succeeded?  It must have sounded so bad ;D ;D

Ive heard that the Government plans to round up all the Somalia's, give them all speed boats and let them patrol the UKs coastline. They're going on the basis the Somalia has loads of pirates but low carbon emissions.

The protests just show that stupidity doesn't have an upper age limit.

  The protests show that there are a lot of older people, who aren't us, who care enough to get involved, no matter how clumsily. I applaud them and bugger the inconvenience. They're not sitting on their backsides pontificating about things on web-sites.

The London underground is a green way to travel
around, but the protesters are going to disrupt it
today.  Where's the sense in that?

I remember the Aldermaston march hysteria where all those who attended predicted a world-ending nuclear war within a few years if immediate action wasn't taken & that hasn't happened either.

I'm waiting for any climate change scientists to say precisely what will happen, but all I hear is the phrase 'we predict' which is an estimate or assumption.

Oh dear. 'Bugger the inconvenience?' And what, precisely, has causing this inconvenience achieved? Absolutely nothing - nor will it - it's just a load of virtue signallers sticking their oar in to a situation that they don't have a clue about. A 'look at us, we CARE' attitude. Well I care about folk starving in parts of the world, but my caring doesn't alleviate their suffering any more that the antics of these folk will save the planet.
If we all went back to living in caves with a life expectancy of under 30 - which was the norm, in planetary terms, in the blink of an eye ago, it would have no effect on the planet's cyclical changes.
We can, and should, try to ensure we do as little harm as possible - and the UK is one of the leaders in this endeavour. Our cities, despite all the worries, are cleaner than they were - I, like many others , lived through the London smogs of the 1940s when every winter hundreds died from their effects..

And now incensed commuters are dragging these idiots off the top of Tube trains. How is this helping save the planet? wouldn't be at all surprised if folk got hurt seeing the way anger is building up against these people.
