Fish speak should be banned as well.

It's in the coalition manifesto released today. I preferred Fish's wording. Aye, and text speak should be a capital offence, agreed.

Men wearing blazers etc....

There aren't. Warming is established as fact. Whether it's man made is 90% certain. There's a concerted effort to report the 10% of questions that remain unanswered because fossil fuel use is still the cheapest and easiest way to make money from energy provision. Are you connecting that '10% of questions unaswered' with the '90% certainty its man made'? You shouldn't. This 90% thing has always bugged me. That's not even statistically significant by most reckoning. For something like this, I'd like to be 99.999% certain.

So the ordinary man isn't allowed to look at both sides of the argument and make his own judgements? I don't think a lay person can argue about scientific facts tbh - really it requires a two decade education or more. They can argue about value judgements and choices though, i.e., given that X is going to happen, do you want to do Y or Z?

Ha ha. HF has accused JawD of driving a white van. Class.

But how are you making your first assertion? I do agree though that what we should focus on the fact that fossil fuels are a finite resource and will run out, do SUVs etc really make no sense in the longterm in any case. Thing is we live in the here and now, it's human nature to enjoy things while we can.

Yeah have you got one with the moon on a stick too? We could do with a reversal of the economic damage caused by your sort too.

I'm like the Freakonomics dude. I only want to see the heating trend reversed but keep the emissions trend going the way it is so I can drive a big car. Well the last 3 summers have been shit so I'm happy for that to be reversed in that case. Bring on the sunshine fanny.

HF, that graph isn't very interesting. You need one which has the annual carbon emissions on it as well, otherwise all it shows is a trend, and frankly, so what. I'd like to see one with average solar radiation etc as well if that's available.

I'd like to reverse the trend that this forum is dying a perpetual death.

Wept? I know the man is supposed to be a cunt but you wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Urghhh, imagine collecting a rowing machine from a mackem. I guess I don't like second hand stuff, can see how eBay is useful though, obviously.

Aye, right. Apparently you have made three posts in it. Mind, HF has made more than a thousand posts in said thread.

My car came blue tooth enabled. I can see myself using this feature about once a month if I'm lucky.

What field are you interested in doing Luke? Anaesthetics, start specialist training in August, sorry if I didn't make that clear. Unless you meant what kind of anaesthesia, in which case I really don't know yet, although I did do a four month job in ICU last year which I really enjoyed. Lots of nice young incapacitated bodies to play with, eh, eh?

Am I alone in having never used eBay?

UK life expectancy is 79.4 years. Holland is 79.8 years. Considering we have area of horrific social deprivation, this healthy lifestyle attitude doesn't appear to be paying many dividends. That does suprise me a LOT. I saw one fat person whilst I was there (granted I was only there for 4 days and around Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Delft etc). They all looked well and happy. Of course, the average life expectancy will reflect death from cycling.

Bit of a cliche but you probably need to think what you really want to do first before you can enable this to happen. Don't panic or feel depressed, but whatever you do don't let it slip either, otherwise your fears will be well founded. I think the major problem is in my heart of hearts I know exactly what I want to do, it's just horrendously difficult to get a foot in the door. On the upside this minor panic has saw me apply for four jobs I genuinely want to do over the past fortnight. Aye, better to aim high and you never know, anyway you might get something else better in the process. Remain apthetic and you'll get what you deserve - that was the story of my life in my 20s. Good luck anyway.

What are you doing now Skol?

Another point that should be made is that pedestrians can be twats too - I had to swerve violently on my bike a few months ago to avoid a lass who stepped out in front of me without a care in the world. True, but in the UK the onus of safety is alway on the vehicle and jay walking is not an offence.

There's this thing you can get from cycling called 'numb penis syndrome'. Fairly self-explanatory tbh.
