.... as this is now the new world religion based on the self flagellating principle that unless we give up our comforts from cars to holidays, we must accept responsibility for destroyng the planet, what will the future be?...... Will we all be sat in caves wearing animal skins...Oooops...cruelty to animals, not on.... O.K. wearing lycra cycling...ooops made from chemicals ....right, wearing nettle leaves to punish ourselves, playing music on old bones and cave painting, what will we do for transport? Because you can be sure that the donkey that replaced your car will cost a fortune to run, as the garages will be selling oats instead of petrol. We'll have Dibble complaining about the cost of unleaded oats and the cost of blacksmiths...and then the greens will tell us that our donkey miles will have to be limited as the methane they exhaust is causing greenhouse gases and the donkey will have to be chipped....and the new money people will heve to have a mule with bull bars to go one better.

Eventually....we'll have tourists visiting us from the rich, developed countries of China and India to see how the primitive peoples survive

all we need to to is carry on were DEFRA left off and kill all the cows in the world
no milk in your tea but so what

I'll get the nurse.......

prior to the formation of Pakistan and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) that type of thing went on regularly in India to incite the Hindus!!!! It's already been done.

If Dibble and Snowy are representative of public opinion, stop worrying about it Chip. It's going to happen - and you shouldn't worry about things outside your control. Just make sure you don't live on the coast. At least in Birmingham I can't get much further away from the sea!

I think by the time sea levels rise by that amount, it won't bother anybody on here. It's the future generations who will have to live in Sea World. That film was quite scary wasn't it?

Speak for yerself fatty! It will affect our standard of living in our lifetime - and it won't be because of taxation rates.

I am sick of all of these doomsday scenario types..............just fookin live and be happy.



Well stop bloody whingeing about everything!

But at the rate we've seen over the last 50 years and the projections for the next 50? We could handle gradual adjustments but it's the "tipping effect" that's likely to catch us off guard. It will have major economic consequences.

Not when they're personally paid by Exon and others to deny global warming! BTW, most funding will go to their organisation or University. They will personally see little (if any) of the money.

my feet are cold

Put some socks on then!

i did, and even put my comedy slippers on too.....still cold.
watcha gonna do?!

It's a possibility if the Gulf Stream is diverted.

Feck all, my feet aren't cold!

All come and live here. If you tip anyone they get proper tits on 'cos they think you're patronising them and you think their job's not worthwhile.

Oh aye, come on over. Youse can all stay at our place.

You can't get Ruby Red over here like...... Or kebabs.

Rising seas levels don't really worry us Walsall dwellers. They're gonna have to rise a fooking lot to bother us.

It will have advantages anyway. No longer will we have to travel to places like Hartlepool for a seaside away day. No, places like Notts County will be much handier

Plus it could be the first proper wash you've ever had eh??

I turned the fire [electric] up the 3rd bar......toasty as now :sweet:

Wash? wash? Ain't that a bit of sea near Boston?

I'll do you a deal. You tell me about washes and I'll tell you all about this new fashion sweeping the country ... carpets & curtains ... they'll be the next must have item in Hartlepool sometime this decade

Old hat mate - in sophisticated Birmingham we have polished floorboards and blinds!

If there was no global warming, all the scientists working on it would be unemployed ...... anyway 'scientists' spent a packet on a pointless space programme and what did we get out of it .....non-stick frying pans.
When I was a kid, they always had 'scientists' showing us what life would be like in 2000 ....it showed us flying around in little flying saucers and being served by robots ..... utter bollox of course, but they'd had 20 years funding by the time we found out they were having us on.

BUT.... when the last ice age started ... were there groups of 'wise men' in white animal skins announcing we were gonna freeze unless we invented global warming and built loads of power stations....?


























p.s I started this post before catching the train to Newcastle this morning ... just come back to inspect the 'pots'

Another Habitat fashion first from God's Little Acre. Everyone else has pulled up the rugs and put in noisy laminate flooring with all the heat retention of lino. Remember lino?? The dog skidded on that as well....

And who needs Big Brother when there's no curtains in town?? Instead of watching the anodyne antics of some overblown personality free bimbettes, you just go in next doors garden and have a good gleg at real life!!

Has Salty ever mentioned the time he spotted a customer cracking one off on the settee from his ladder?? And you want curtains??

Carpets?? Curtains??

Pah!!

Incidentally, they must call you the Black Country for some reason......

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME....just think, when this happens and we're sat there luxuriating in the tropical paradise of Middleton, what will all the doom mongers be doing, the teeth gnashing, lentil eating masochists...? I'll tell you what they'll be doing, buying up timeshare apartments near the beach at Middleton.
P.S. have you noticed that the smug new green jesuits of self loathing are the biggest pollutors of all as they travel thousands of miles by air to avoid the rabble .....?

scientificlly one cow generates more methane than the the whole clan of dibbles
especially the litte stinker who takes after his father

I hate a lot of the aspects of modern life...the new religion of consumerism battles with the smug religion of green masochism and all I want is a nice middle road of sensible self restraint .... but would I want to step back into a purer world that existed only in peoples imagination...nah.

Laminate? I wondered what that company that sponsor our main stand sold. Floors-2-Go they're called, no clues there then

Of course, down ya, yam land we have real wood flooring. That's made of trees (I think you're too far north and past the tree-line ).

I think you'll find they're called floorboards and we've had 'em for donks.

I thought most things down your way were made out of that huge mountain of used tyres that used to be at Fort Dunlop?? Or 'The Nitrile Designer Outlet' as it's now known??

Fort Dunlop itself has had a major facelift and is now apartments, restaurants, shops and a hotel. Looks quite nifty.

I thought the shopping area by Fort Dunlop was called The Fort? Don't go down that way very often (unless I really have to - it's too Brumigum for my liking). I only go that way when I go to the airport. I was going to say I'll have a look when I go to the airport Wednesday evening but I'm going against all my principles and paying me 4 quid on the Birmingham Northern Relief Road instead (don't want to be late for my flight thanks to the M6 carpark).


LATE EDIT: I think I've just had a WHOOOSH moment
