Bloody greenpeace won't be happy till we're squatting in caves trying to
cook lentils and cous cous over a fire of dried cowsh*t with our only
source
of light being that from a small gaslamp made by shoving an old McDonalds
drinking straw (only allowed because the feckin' things won't decompose
naturally) up the rectum of the communal cow and lighting it...

Now - pass me my car keys ... I feel like leaving my 900w baseline draw (in
a one bedroom flat) to simmer for a while whilst I go convert some
overpriced Dino-Juice into excessive quantities of socially unacceptable
noise and hope one day to be stood at the gates of Hell with St. Nick
walking towards me with a pineapple and a French Maids outfit!

If I hear one more uneducated moronic buffoon lecture me about my
"Carbon
Footprint" - especially about offsetting my carbon emissions then I
may well
plant my activated carbon insoled boot somewhere where James Herriot might
(on a different animal) shove his arm...

Mutter mutter mutter...

Phil
