Extraordinary potential for wind

[timH]

Speaking via video link to a climate roundtable discussion at the UN in New York, Mr Johnson said the country held "extraordinary potential for wind".

Well bluff and bluster anyway

Plenty of hot air from his own gob to render 4 coal powered stations redundant I should think...

 

[gingermrkettle]

Wind in the sense of Trump.

 

[stevec67]

Lots of hot air as ever. However the recent wind based electricity generation schemes are very worthwhile for remote locations needing modest amounts of power in the middle of nowhere.

“Beans, beans, the musical fruit” etc.; also brassicas and onions.

Not a patch though on Johnson’s efficiency in converting air intake to wind, which has a remarkable 100% EROI.

We are the world's greatest baked bean eaters.

I thought this was gonna be a thread about Mexican food.

 

[madmike]

Lentil soup does it for me...

 

[stevec67]

Mexican food is never haute cuisine but it's very gratifying comfort food, so it has its place. I like it.

A trait Johnson shares with my dog Tinkerbell who has lately become extraordinarily flatulent.

Has she been on the chickpeas?

 

[stevec67]

I'm trying to remember whether it's a peptidoglycan or a glycoprotein that produces farts from beans. The latter I think. Either way the intestinal bacteria love it.

I do wish I'd bought my baked beans online, but Heinz site is a wonderful thing.

 

[Big Tabs]

cabbage is my bottom fuel of choice

 

[MikeMA]

Sprouts Mexicane for me

Quite possibly.

My son's hippy partner - who's dog she technically is (but that is a whole other story) has recently insisted that she be put on a vegan dog food diet which, out of sympathy with the poor creature, I have felt duty bound to supplement with tins of tuna, pilchards and the occasional hard boiled egg.

Lol. I was going to ask if this was about bean burritos. Handy hint - don’t eat a bean burrito at the airport before a 10 hour flight. Oh the pain.

Which part of the word carnivore does she not understand? She'll kill it with sheer stupidity.

Most here probably don't get the cultural significance of that photo.

I wonder if the pilot noticed a sudden increase in cabin pressure when you went to the loo. It was probably measurable.
