Oooooo I do like lobster and prawns and other real food....

Hehe. You dont grow up tall just eating cheese and apples.

 

[Shagrat]

I don't believe this!

Just watching a feature on the local news about Leics. Hospital and both of the doctors they interviewed were FOREIGN!

I thought we (well ok I didn't) voted for this to be stopped, where are now Farage? Get these two doctors (they were called McCann and McAdam) sent back to where they came from.

Damn immigrants sneaking over the border stealing our jobs!

tsss everyone knows "terrorist" only counts if you are brown and not a footballer, boxer or other athlete. nobody's "foreign" unless your trade is being a bricklayer, an electrician or a plumber. in that case people like our resident Nige-Don will hate you.

 

[Shagrat]

But these doctors were scottish, that means not only are they stealing our jobs but they arent spending any money here either. Just stuffing it mattresses and sending it home for giant statues of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce

A new gas-fired power station was built a mile or two from my house recently, it's been running the last few months. Someone on a local Facebook group just posted a picture of the station with a big cloud of water vapour floating into the air. They're all losing their shit, crying about "emissions" and "toxins", while two or three of us (myself included) are trying to explain what the photo shows.



I'm amazed at how utterly uneducated some people are. The sun clearly directly behind the cloud so it obviously appears silhouetted, so they don't believe it's water vapour as it's too dark (unlike their kettle's emissions). They haven't noticed the dark clouds also in this image. It can't be "steam" as steam from the kettle dissipates immediately! It must be coal, it can't only burn gas! What else are they burning? It stinks, the smell is awful (there's a fucking huge paper mill right next to it, a paper mill that's the most advanced in the world and just about the most efficient in the world also).

What the fuck have any of these people been doing with their lives? Do none of them look at something, realise that they don't understand what they're seeing, and think "hmmm, I've got the internet, why don't I just find out for myself before I post some stupid bollocks about toxins and pollution?"

ARGH.

Because the vast majority of humans are poorly educated and even in the well-educated population the instinct is to find stuff that confirms what you think rather than to find stuff that makes you realise your own ignorance.

The Internet is such a success partly because it confirms we're all equally geniuses and that makes us feel good.

Yes. Even Job.

There's another local group bitching about a new biomass power station that'll be built a few miles down the road. They're right to complain about that I think, since it will increase particulate emissions locally. But here's the thing - this site being right next to the M60, M602 and M62, as well as the Trafford Centre and Trafford Park, the total rise in local air pollution will be a staggering.......


...1%


...worst case.

So I've asked them why they're not focusing their efforts on the real cause of pollution (which is at illegal levels around here), and the answer seems to be "mmuhh, we are but ILLEGAL INCINERATOR!!!11" It just makes me facepalm to the power of Job, a real fix to the issue would be something simple, like limiting motorway speeds around this part of Manchester to 50mph during the day (it becomes a smart motorway very soon so it's very easy to do), or spending money on transport infrastructure so people can cycle to work/school in safety. But noooo, let's BAN THE INCINERATOR because a 1% increase in emissions is way, way worse than the almost 100% caused by motor transport...

 

[Moriath]

Motorways are slow at 70 mph. They should be raised to 80. Not downward to 50. It would cost the economy to lower it with good vehicles and travel times increased.

 

[Raven]

The M1 needs to be 100 tbh.

70 is fine for the M25

@Tom sorry to hear you have a paper-plant near, since it's state of the art, hopefully it doesn't smell of death. We have one of these paper-combustion plants that you pass each time when going north with train. I imagine you'd get used to it, but it isn't pleasant.

Worst smell probably comes from those damned grease-traps. Worked shortly with that one summer as a youngster (parks-office), and fuck me, that is pure death.

ARGH.

To be fair, read any sort of CLIMAET DESTRUCTION article in the paper, and it will either be accompanied by a picture of

A) a polar bear
B) a power station emitting steam from the cooling towers.

So yes, agree it's ridiculous - but the worst culprits work for the newspapers. Well, The Guardian, if you can call it that.

You should follow the Donalds example and build a wall. Build it properly this time tho, so more than 3 feet high

I grew up living 50 yards from a paper mill built around the First World War, so any smells (there are almost none) don't bother me.

Sounds like one of those "fell on the hamster backwards" stories to me.

 

[TdC]

Actually, no. I filled it, spun it over my hand and missed the catch. There was some choice language

 

[Scouse]

Filling beer growlers whilst sat on your bike is some skill tho @TdC.

Every now and again your nuts have to take one for the team if you're going to progress. But why not just learn to wheelie instead?

 

[Bodhi]

See this is why I like golf - none of these issues filling up a beer, you just grab one of the buggies making it's way round the course, and ask for a beer

This service is especially good in California - for no reason whatsoever. Playing with my Italian colleague, he used to stop every buggy that came past - didn't want a drink, just wanted to say hello.
