    Thanks bubblesmoney, a fantastic article.

    I've just been discussing this with my DH who has a PhD in chemistry. It's almost Newtownian - with actions having unintended opposite reactions. For example, there's plenty of coal which could be catalysed into methanol, but then that would further deplete, for example, zinc. We grow soya for biofuel and people go hungry. I don't know what the answer is, but its certainly sobering to think about.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Mrs Cleaver is a thong woman. I'm a boxers man myself.

    I think I prefer this type of chat than stuff about economics and stuff. I should probably move along to the Arms and get chatting.

    What star sign is everyone?
    How old are you all?
    If you could kiss a celebrity, who would it be and why?
    What's your pornstar name?

    To be honest, you and the other half sound like the type of intelligent people that could get this sorted. Shouldn't you both be in a lab right now? Making cars run on water. Or something.

    a good attempt an an answer is 'less'. its gutting and distasteful and i sure as hell could point the finger at what we have less of first..babies? food? fuel?, but its the simplest answer. :( till clever people somehow work it out.

    My post is a typical example of writing a post - spending an hour watching cr&p on TV without noticing that the thread had gone off in a whole new direction. Sorry about that.
