Possibly the funniest thing I have ever read on here. Hora you've outdone yourself
I also buy secondhand bike bits* where possible and secondhand cars**
* Compulsively. Every single day. There is at least one diesel-gobbling Post Office delivery van kept on stand-by to ferry my bought-and-sold bike parts around the country, daily.
** Every other week
so I'm not immediately part of the 'buy new every year' clan that perpetuates waste
I'm speechless. Thats a genius comment. Even for someone with your monumental lack of self-awareness.I think everyone on the forum needs to collectively stand up and give you a round of applause for that statement. Absolutely priceless!
😀
your lifestyle is one of the best documented on the Interweb
I assume you mean secondhand kit. Its hardly lifestyle more a throwback to a poor childhood becoming habit 😉
You could do it too
My house has cavity wall and loft insulation. I also use gas/power sparingly. I also buy reclaimed etc where possible as I naturally hate waste and 'churn'.
Saying all this if I was minted I'd live on a mountain of coke, drive a Quattroporte and have more hookers than Berlusconi.
*stands to applause*
Slow claps mansonsoul back whilst nodding slowly. 😉
Anyone got a 50mm OS stem that they want to sell?
I'm assuming nothing Hora, your lifestyle is one of the best documented on the Interweb.
I know it's easy to jump on the internet bandwagon but that made me lol.
I'm concerned about what I'm going to have for my tea and this Woman is worried about other things on another level 🙁

more hookers than [s]Berlusconi[/s] Charlie Sheen.
FTFY
😆 I wonder who really would win that competition? I mean Berluaconi can't just come out and boast about his life of largesse can he?
The dioty ol bugga
BTW, how are you getting to your trails this weekend? I imagine you ride local and don't visit anywhere far.
you keepo trotting this hirse shit out over an over again everything alive is not carbon neutral why do you keep pointing out that alive peole use resources everyone knows this. It adds nothing to your argument
Now you are assuming and completely missing my point.
why not articualte it clearly then?
Keeping fuel tax high is helping to support waste in Government.
Oh FFS that is idiotic even by your lamentably high standards
As molgrips says aiming ot reduce your use and trying to do your bit is far better than not giving a shit /or acting becuase of what china or India may or may not do
What policy is China doing again to avoid 'our mistakes'?
I like [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-child_policy ]this one[/url] of theirs, but I guess it'd not be a vote winner over here...
When the oil runs out there will be alot of fighting and death.Unless all the planes and tanks are parked up uselessly cos there's no fuel to put in them...
I think this is a massive pointer to what is going to happen.....
One of the big economies will make a move on existing oil before they run out so they can try to control the supply.
How long is it going to be before the fuel producing countries save most of it for themselves and use a small supply to control their allies?
It's all well and good doing what we can now but I seriously can't see the dwindling oil situation ending any way other than seriously badly.
The nuclear situation in Japan is looking like making other countries switch from nuclear (not saying nuclear power is a good thing here) and what are they going to switch to if not natural resources?
Back to the original topic, people got jobs where they could when fuel prices were cheaper. They probably got homes in nice areas based on fuel prices. People may have made a mistake getting these homes and jobs but who could have expected fuel prices to rise this much, this quickly. It's all happened too when there are very few jobs and the ecomony is in a mess so unless we all give up our jobs so the companies can employ those closest to home a lot of people will be getting into financial difficulty.
Just to counter the media hype about Japan's nuclear situation read this from [url= http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/14/fukushiima_analysis/ ]The Register[/url]
Frank Herbert was pondering the oil crisis a long time ago in [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dragon_in_the_Sea ]The Dragon In the Sea[/url]
The Chinese one child policy may well have a destabilising effect on society given that they all want it to be a boy. In the west I thought our birth rate was declining which is why the gov't said we needed immigration to pay for our pensions...

No major economy is going to use world domination by force as their only plan in the event of oil becoming scarce. Not least because waging war takes a lot of oil.
That report in the Register is starting to look very silly in the light of overnight events.
Japan is the worlds third biggest oil consumer. Interesting to see what happens there.
My fear is what if one of these reactors becomes a Chenobyl especially so close to Tokyo? Awful.
