👏👏👏And couldn't agree more about the so called 'celebrity' BS that's spewed out of the tv sets and today's youth. Between that and social media 'influencers' I'd say they have very few good role models to base themselves off.Having all this 50th anniversary of the moon landing stuff going on just highlights how much society has changed. Back then kids looked up to extraordinary people. People with skill and dignity, they aspired to be great and reach for the stars..... now days they look up to gender confused sados that have the highest score on a video game or the most likes on a picture of their toast 🤯🤯
RESCUED. Over used word, like many in the English language these days. Celebrity, Legend, Star etc etc. Rescued? Two dozen kids stuck a mile underground, yes. Sailors pulled from a sinking ship in a gale, yes. People held hostage against their will by crackpot religious fanatics, yes. People asked to get off a train which has broken down and onto another one which has been readily provided? For fucks sake!!!
People who moan when it cools down and rains for a day or 2.My garden/allotment is parched. I hope it's cold and pisses down all weekend
Well said COFFEE.......one life ,bike it mmmmmmmm 50's diner......i'll fill the thou up In the morning , and burn the foccin lot in a couple of hours that should help control global warming
We have just recorded the highest ever temperature recorded in the UK. 38.7 degrees at Cambridge University's Botanic Gardens. That temperature has to be verified by the Met Office.The 8 hottest years globally, since records began, have occurred in the last ten years.At the end of the day if you keep increasingly the concentration of co2 in the atmosphere, then you will get temperature rises. Oh global warming will see increased rainfall in the UK, and in particular more flash flodding.Once again, all the predictions are coming true, but still there is little sign of any willingness to change.
Scientists - pah. The doomsters and gloomsters. We've had enough of people who know what they're talking about.

Think about it, that tax people are willing to pay be it - climate levy / fuel tax / green tax /Congestion Charge doesn't all go into saving the planet it go's into building more roads and weapons and chemicals - all not renown for their green credentials.
