Fw: 300GB Hard Drives

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

That one is so bleeding big at Reading, when we come out of Costco - I
HAVE to look away - otherwise it's a bit freaky and can make you go
off-balance as it rotates :-)

There are two big wind generators on a route I take frequently and they
are
fairly often stationary ...

... Bloody annoys me when all the tree hugging bleeding hearts bleat and
bitch about "We must use more renewable energy" and so on but at
the end
of
the day they also complain about filling up the "unspoiled beautiful
parts
of the country" with hundreds of the things (the one at Reading is
f*ck*ing
enormous!), they don't want 'em close to where people (well, OK, where
*THEY*) live because of the noise (and they are noisy), they cost a
fortune
to build and errect and it seems to get conveniently forgotten that if it
happens to be a still day then no corrie! (Ah well, I suppose there has to
be one upside of putting all your eggs in a windpowered basket, no?)
