  1. Trumpton says 24 hours, give him a little time to sort his pens in his desk and work out where the cloak room is first.
  2. Yeah but by 30 January it will all be over anyway,
  3. How much the government will benefit from RWE... so that will be the 'shareholders'... us... not having to put so much in then.. is that right? Can't see how you are angry, a few weeks ago it was tax rises and now the potential for tax cuts, make your mind up! EDIT: Spent far too long talking to you in the last week, probably at the expense of more interesting discussions.... so say something new and interesting instead of the circular, same old - same old
  4. looking closer now, who eats a Mucky Ds with knives and forks?
  5. "Stick to the facts", yes please. (did you read the numbers you posted above?)
  6. Best buds... Trump: Hates windmills, Musk famous for his green electric cars Trump: Muchly bragging about the Covid vaccine his government developed, Kennedy, hates vaccines Trump: Muchly speaking stuff, Trump (the other one), Muchly agrees with his daddy
  7. So before I even look at disputing the figures, I'll just rubbish them JohnsonD eh? 4 1/2 BILLION tonnes of Copper near 9 BILLION tonnes of Graphite 0.7 BILLION tonnes of Vandium in a world population of 8 Billion, prediction 9.7 Billion in 2050... so that is a half tonne of copper each, a tone of Graphite each and 50kg of Vandium... each (by the way, it is Vanadium, glad to see the article has been checked by someone who knows their stuff enough to pick up simple spelling mistakes) A wind turbine - rounded for simple maths - has 4.7 tonnes of copper, supplies 460 houses or about 10kg per house 2.5kg per person (2 adults, 2 children)... missing near 500kg of copper per person somewhere... Graphite...the world bank reckons we'll need 4.5 million tonnes a year by 2050... 1/20th of the figures quoted above Vanadium... used to love this fact... Freya, the Norse gods metal because of its colours.... in a battery instead of Lithium is very stable and infinitely recyclable,.. once processed it is there. Very abundant metal, top 20 mineral in the world, something like that.... So before I even bother fact checking I won't bother till you find someone who can post more realistic numbers. And then of course, these numbers are to do with the electrification of the world... 10% of the worlds population are no connected to an electric grid, 800 million people, the numbers you quote also include connecting them.. which has nothing to do with green energies at all, and can be discounted from the numbers of course. I think it was HSBC - with no agenda apart from making money - reported that the world has enough resources for a green transition, but will be another 35 years (2060) I think it was rather than the 30,000 years quoted above. So try again, but credit given for being very trying. However, remind me, when is the oil predicted to run out? Multichoice? A: Next year B: About 60 years (Our childrens life) or C, Feck it, I'll be dead them who cares?
  8. Yup, they will block phone numbers, and if everyone writes them out in full, they will just do that too (it is just in their banned list, as well as 9 they add "nine" (any programming I do it is a line of code to add text numbers and I only do that for fun)).
  9. They want to track the money, see where it is going (money laundering I think, changing things for everyone to catch out the few). "sold some things on ebay, cash on collection, don't have the buyers details, but here is the legitimised cash"
  10. Going to have to start paying rent soon for the amount of head space I am filling. la la la, can't get you out of my head....
  11. Ahh, I joined here 8 years ago, my input must be awesome then! Result.
  12. Ooooh, tetchy, someone pee on your cornflakes this morning?
  13. You'll pick it up quick enough, he's dropped most of the obsession with Covid, become a bit of a sour looser that Labour won the election and is trying his hardest to be an applogist for America's Rapist-Elect, the rest is pretty much the same with his obsession that oil is going to be king forever, hates anything electric, and general anger at the world.
  14. I'll ask him. Peds, you migrant you, could you stop doing the fighting now please, it's winding JohnsonD right up. There, how's that, should be a better place now.
  15. Lots of spindly ash grown, never thinned out, got blown over. OP wants something more long lasting on the hillside? Foreseeing the questions, has the OP got a few more details of the site, how steep it is, orientation, rough location, any species preference (I'll assume something native) and so on
  16. So in summary... an hour or so ago it "net Zero was generating and look at the electricity prices", and now "no net zero and look at the high electricity pries".. so which is it to be... or maybe... whether it is windy or not it has no bearing on the price of electricity at all? Make your mind up! It is all down to gas prices. Still the new Government are meant to be looking at breaking that link... which will lead to lower prices. I know that you will choke on your morning coco-pop when you read that.
  17. So.... if there is no wind blowing how are electricity prices jumping because of it?
  18. First cars were always 6 months for me, but annually now - but if doing it myself I'll tend to splash the cash to a better quality rather that Halfords basic oil every 6 months / 6000 miles. I'd be wary doing 30k without an oil change and service
  19. So you know how it works and yet, still post misleading information, is that right? "Leading to net zero"... with electricity prices dictated by gas... which are massively (and I'd say exclusively) influenced by Putin in Russia... and not how hard the wind blows in the north of Scotland.
  20. I'm sure that was discussed before how the UK electricity prices are linked to the price of gas, nothing to do with how the electricity is generated. Suggest you read and educate yourself on that while playing politics you can offer up some credible information
  21. "I'm so Stupid"... so it isn't the migrants then? What do you think is causing Dublin to become more dangerous?
  22. So what was your point in the pieces you linked to? Have I mis-understood your thinking that migrants to Ireland is causing Dublin to be a dangerous place?
  23. I take it the article is inferring "Migrants to Ireland are making it more dangerous", Arbtalks resident migrant to Ireland was mentioned in your comment... inferring that as a migrant, he has added to Irelands downfall to dangerous levels. Isn't this what you mean? So what did he do? A poitin fuelled bender perhaps? Fighting at the Temple Bar?
  24. Sorry, Mark, couldn't help myself there, back to your article - a much better read
  25. Ahh, not the rapist liar then? You'll be defending that one, little bit of hero worshiping the rapist I suspect.
