Potential Level 4 heat warning for Sunday/Monday/Tuesday in England (i.e., you might die)

[tiggers]

Public Service Announcement.

Here's a really simple and effective way to cut your carbon footprint without having to cycle everywhere or live in a yurt:

Eat less meat.

Indeed, but so many are in denial over this.

 

[tiggers]

Yes, a good idea. Others, amongst the many things we could do, include:

Don’t fly anywhere
Use cars less. If you are going to have a car, use sparingly, maintain it property and keep for its useful economic life rather than have a new one every 2 or 3 years.
Use public transport less
Don’t use boats
Don’t buy tat from China
Don’t have kids
Turn the heating down and put a jumper on
Get rid of multi box Naim systems left on 24/7

Yep, that's me. Especially the not having kids, this need to pro-create that nearly everyone seems to have needs to change.

This need to pro-create that nearly everyone seems to have needs to change.

It is kind of the primary instinct of any living being, might be a tough call to change it. You might as well question the whole point of existence.

The government should introduce a cash for vasectomies programme.

I've already done that, didn't find any.

Absolutely lashing it down here, marvellous. The dog looks as though she wants to go out in it!

Not my primary instinct. And intelligent beings should be smart enough to overcome such a stupid instinct.

what? pleasure? booze, good food, fast cars and sex (the ordering of the list is irrelevant).

It's not stupid, it is hard coded for living beings and life would die out without such a strong urge to reproduce.

We have the intellectual ability to control this of course and contraception to manage when we cannot abstain from the act itself. Your reasons and anyone elses is their own business. It is intensely personal but the urge is still very powerful.

Still over 27 in my gaff, could do with these thunderstorms turning up sharpish to clear things out a bit.

 

[gintonic]

Still 30 here indoors. 40% chance of rain at 2000

Idiotic post

aha yes I missed that. I always wanted a tax rebate for choosing not to bring FOL into this world - we are way too irresponsible for that malarky

 

[gintonic]

I’ve always thought it’s mainly women who have that instinct, that blokes do their bit for fun after a few pints and to stop them nagging on.

IME that is so wrong. We both do after 25 years

 

[Seeker_UK]

21.5C outdoors some parts of indoors are 28C still.

And honking down.

And what would we splash the cash on then?
