What with your travel indulgence and the aussies digging a new coal mine size of Uk -ecosytsem is going to take a hammering

I sincerely hope Greta et al take control of the agenda - if we burn all that lot on leisure travel it could be even worse than evil. People need to learn to enjoy themselves where they are.

Hope they keep enough oil flowing to make plastic for the covid ventilators and ebola clean rooms

He doesn't need to fly anywhere. If he does fly it's because he's decided that what he wants to do in his life is more important than any environmental concerns

okay understood

No. After a while your eye would catch her sensuous curves and your body would do the talking. To start with you'd be doing it thinking of some other creature, maybe like below, but after a while when it dawned on you there was no escape you would begin to enjoy her body as it looks more and more

If you and her were washed up on a desert island, you'd be longing to be shipwrecked between her thighs. 'If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.'

The things Trump has said, there would be millions of he deserves it comments if he got it. Although Abbot Labs have apparently come up with a C19 test that gives results in under 15 minutes, so they are screening everyone who is expected to be within range of the president. Plump women like above don't necessarily benefit from a gastric bypass, although once all the loose skin flaps have been dealt with it may make her more appealing to the 'average' suitor. I bet if money were no object and all the worlds best plastic surgeons and nutriotionists, fitness instructors etc focused just on her they could make her into a beauty queen nearly every man would lust after.

hey come on - she's said a bad thing, but I think she deserves a second chance. She can't help the way she looks. If a very lonely man had the choice between her and nothing she would be as good as a super model

that's exactly what happened to me in the early nineties, spent about 18 months self employed here and there without saying anything, then took another PAYE job. Letter went something like "between date x and y we have no record of you registering as unemployed, you must have been supporting yourself somehow now pay some tax you sly parasite. How can you expect to live in a country and make use of it's healthcare, police, education, yet pay nothing in return? People like you need to wake up to what being civilised is all about - or we will find you and send you to prison. Now pay up" or words to that effect.

I think without GM there wouldnt be enough food. I know the technical point youre making about random mutations and natural selection. But to be able to add resistance to some forms of blight can reduce pesticide use https://www.irishtimes.com/news/science/ban-on-gm-crops-is-a-blight-on-irish-agriculture-1.3767996?mode=amp

hopefully you'll be even more skinted out in a minute and I can have that motor off you for a grand

trouble is if you're not prepared to devote your life to politics you just have to watch in horror

well the last bad virus was 1918, the last famine around 1845-1850, - at that time we didn't have the crop protection available today, or GM, but world population was only 1.2 billion back then, a real lack of rainfall across most of the wheat fields would be dodgy. I just think that the UK in particular have taken food security for granted. Allowing in 200, 000 odd immigrants in each year for nearly 20 years on the trot and building on much of our agricultural land to house the growing population. This possibility of a really dry year with insufficient rainfall for crops right across EU really does worry me. Politicians think economic growth is the main thing - they are mad. Environmental sustainability is the only important thing. People can do without the trappings of wealth, but food and water - I mean I've never been hungry or thirsty in my whole life 'Countries like Algeria, Morocco and the Philippines have stepped up efforts to top up their grain reserves as big producers including top wheat producer Russia and the world’s third-largest rice exporter Vietnam imposed restrictions on overseas sales. Large importers have also been spooked by logistical bottlenecks including a lack of truck and train drivers and port staff in France, another leading wheat exporter.'

with a tank of red a genny could be run, if soundproofed so the raiders don't hear it. The British Isles are surrounded by sea water, so worst case and a dry summer like Aus just had, we could de-salinate using e.g wind power. yesterday - ' The price of Thai white rice, a benchmark, has risen from $450 a tonne in February to more than $560 a tonne, even though there is no shortage of it and global stockpiles are at a record high. Russia and Kazakhstan have also imposed bans on exports of processed grain, though nothing that would explain the run on plain flour at western supermarkets. In some cases a sense of panic is understandable. Egypt, which this year announced that its population had reached 100 million, is the world’s biggest importer of wheat, with bread subsidised for its largely impoverished population. On Thursday, Mostafa Madbouly, the prime minister, said that Egypt was intending to increase its minimum reserves of staples such as rice and sugar from three to six months.'

Invest in frozen and dried food. It hasnt rained here for two/three weeks. Always a good chance of a drought and famine after a plague

they say corona has destroyed 1/3 demand, fortunes will be made and lost, hope the pundits are wrong about extent of economic collapse. The chinese are a bit more blunt than us 'keep the factories running, just pile up the dead staff over there and we will collect and replace'

I hope they dont cut and all US shale is bankrupted. See what garbageTrumps twitter account churns out then

do you know what? I'm feeling a bit sick, but not corona - another reason, when we were discussing low oil prices the other day I remember telling you about buying Shell for my ISA, well I bottled that position and put the money in BT instead. Now bloody Shell is up over 30% since its lows. How long before the next pandemic? - I'll make sure to hold and not fold next time. Although maybe this oil rally is short lived, they could still be paying customers to take it if the storage fills up

What do you mean what? Eggs shared his opinion of Boris with the world - so did I. I also tried to express the thought that while the current situation is dire, with even the PM being hospitalised, it is nothing like as bad as our ancestors had it with the plagues.

I don't dislike him - Boris or Blair? Both of them know their ideas are the right ones, neither of them would be too happy to be infected with the black death.

that is a problem - I took down a small dead tree last week and was loading up the wood to give to someone when I noticed the neighbours had felled a couple of small conifers and dumped the wood by a low wire fence, the neighbours were there so I asked if they wanted the wood for anyone or I could offload it for them. They proceeded to hand me the logs over the fence until the bloke said 'you don't want to get too close' me: 'oh shit, sorry I forgot'. After which I suggested they just throw the wood over. He said 'our daughter is a taxi driver'. I spent the rest of the day thinking how easy this virus can be passed on. If I'm symptom free two weeks from now, maybe I'm not incubating it from that encounter. I had minutes before taken the precaution of asking the customer to leave her cheque under a stone...

it was a lie - a pathetic attempt to reach out to someone through the ether and interact

they are talking about putting the state pension age up to 93 to help cover costs
