When SWMBO and me came back from the UK 3 years ago we didn't bring the telly. We still have yet to buy a TV card for any of the PC's. Reading this I can't see any compelling reason to bother. The strange thing is that after the first few months you really don't miss it.
As for on-line, it is catching up !
Roll on Keith.

Sorry folks I think the use of the preview button would have helped here.

Haven't you seen the nice new paper ones....that you have to pay for ?
Otherwise when you talk as much s**t as I do it should be of no surprise that I can breathe from my A**E

Mmmmmm does saying it to their face with a bag over my head count ?

Well....that was the water this is the sea

Merc - Easy boy, mixture of Freud, Behaviourism and sociology here too rich for my cognitive behaviour head.

Savant - Yeah good call - but I do buy in to Riddley's bogeyman point. If European energy policy ends up as a drive towards nuclear energy at all costs I can't help feeling that an opportunity will have been lost.
Now where's that damn cat......

Does climate change kill kittens ?

Couple of things:
I have been quite interested to see how Labour and the Tories in the UK seem to have ended up on a bidding war over this. That is to say they appear to be trying to “out green” each other. From this I would speculate that someone in shareholder land has decided that climate change really is bad for business (possibly insurance – note similar goings on here - this may be a feature of business not dominated by oil production). Whether this actually leads to hard policy is another matter. I’m quietly hoping that a similar bidding war might break out here.
As far as psychology goes I guess that if you have grown up believing that hard work is good and hard work equals the right and means to conspicuously consume; then to have the goodness of this relationship challenged will be quite confusing and alarming.
