Any New Years' resolutions?

[themoudie]

What's wrong wi that Steve?

All recycled and nurtured rather than the latest flippity gibbit with digital excrement as long as your arm.

It may use less fuel, but how far did the new one get dragged round the world for our whim and how much new raw material did it use up?

Keep tinkering with the old stuff, your grey or rain water bog flush with a wood burning stove and you'll be doing fine. Just look at what we've just been through and we'll send 80% of Xmas and New Year frippery to land fill in 44 tonners!

It's all very well ranting at China but their footprint is ~3 tonne per person per annum. GB is ~10 tonne per person per annum. Pot calling the kettle black again. We'll do our wee bit and all be up for Dictator!

Did any body watch BBC2 at 21:00 hrs tonight 4/1/2008? If you can try and see it, your head may be a lot better for it!

My regards and thank you for the space for a rant, Bill.

Aye Bill,
But the recycled barf water gets a tad smelly whilst in the holding tank (summat about anareobic fermentation) anyway....suffice to say, when we have posh people round it has to be switched to mains water.
and the back boiler on the woodburner is fine, but it's 60k btu, and draws a lot (a lot lot)  of heat into into the heatstore, which, ok is pumped out to the rads, but it's difficult to get the woodburner up to it's best temperature (clear glass and 500 degC chimney temp).....next thing is the wind generator and solar panels.......before next winter I hope

might even get some work done on me bikes lol

I'm in Morley, South Leeds, so probably slightly nearer than you.

I was thinking about getting out there with my Dad on Sunday. I'll post something if/when it gets organised, certainly before tomorrow night. Failing that we'll have to get organised.

Andy

Sounds like a plan, let me know 

I'll be there around noon on a black Kawasaki EL250.

You picked a nice day for it. Didn't make it myself, usual combination of house/wedding/family stuff limited the ridr out to a drip to B&Q 

Still, there is next time.

The profile thing seems to work an odd way round. You can always mail me at bulletandy@ntlworld.com.

I knew squires would be packed when a dozen rice rockets passed me on the way to B&Q. Was I jealous? Oh yes!

Shame Andy, there was a lovely maroon BSA B31 parked right outside the main cafe, started first time and sounded super..... as you can probably guess rice rockets are just not my thing !!!
