Let's hope the oil companies actually look at the data...

They are all trying to maintain their current business model, which is doomed. The real problem is that they have the funds to divert our politicians from solutions that if we started now would see us through any transition. If not we could all end up in the dark, unable to afford the transition.

It's such a pity that the energy companies aren't the ones looking for new solutions to the energy crisis. You'd think that they'd be looking for risk mitigation in the event that their oil wells run dry...

I just tried the "I am not getting out of bed for less than £500 a week" line on my Editor.

he just told me to get on with writing my column in bed then - he didn't care ................... gutted

While you're lounging around in bed can you get round to emailing the stuff you need to send me? That way you might be on your way to making enough money to be able to afford to get out of bed

BUT GREENBEE surely the oil wells won't run dry, after all this is the 21st Century of the Fruit Bat and we all know the world is disc shaped and the oil continually runs down into the well in the centre, how could it possibly run out??? and if it does the turtle will just swim the elephants through another shower and then we'll be OK FOREVER!!!!! LA LA LA LA LA LA!!!

I think you need to go and have a little lie down... and possibly avoid all contact with politicians for a very very long time...

they force kids who are not academic to stay on at school till they are 18.

They probably do that, so they have a couple of extra years, in which to try to teach them to read, write and add up.

Sorry greenbee - but I pulled an all nighter on the election.

Today I have written ............... apart from political stuff!

My shopping list and a very hopeful To-Do list.

Normal service will be resumed after a solid 8 hours and a pot of tea.

Mmmmmmmmm but they're there to be converted Ivyleaf aren't they??? and the image is probably just about right but the sound from the brewing shed lately has been hissssssss ping thud!!!!! or at least it was until last Sunday and the purchase of the pressure barrel!!! So really not a lot of difference between the contemts of the brewing shed and most politicians, lots of hot and noisy air!!!! Bring on the elephants, that's what I say, you can't be uncheered with an elephant can you???

I'm well aware of the connection... doesn't stop me being concerned about her mental health though She really does need to be kept away from politicians.

In fact, for the safety of the general public I suggest we put them all somewhere well out of the way. Mars maybe?
