    Twitching and your carbon footprint.

    Well, that's a bit of a bump. Still, good excuse to share a 'QI' factoid from the other night- what's the most effective legal way for the average family to bring about the biggest reduction to their carbon footprint? Have the dog put down. It equates to about two 4x4s p.a. Even a puddytat...

    My experiences of Fulmar ringing show they have rather catholic tastes when it comes to food. If you flush it down a loo, and it gets discharged at sea they'll eat it. Having had the odd phrophylactic or two coughed up into my lap over the years I'd say c'mon everyone feed a fulmar and save...

    Twitching and your carbon footprint.

    And there is considerable evidence that the largest untapped oil reserves are under the seas around the Falkland Isles. They just haven't sorted out how they're going to get at it yet. Honestly Colonel, you'd've thought the top brass would have explained to you exactly why we had that slight...

    Cheers Boomer! having recently spent quite some time in Qatar (huge gasfields) it does make (economic) sense when you think about it. And why shouldn't they cash in?

    And if we're thinking about carbon footprints as a whole, turn those bloomin' lights out Mr. Mannering! Last week when those power cuts hit the UK, our beleagured National Grid was busy looking for a paddle to get it out that particular creek. We are so short of generating capabilities we had...

    Sorry to hear about you being testicularly challenged TT. Chin up. Both of 'em. And y'know I can't have any time off in the autumn, too busy ringing British birdies!! Seriously, I think hobbies, whatever they be, will be tailored to fit the cloth. I commented elsewhere that road traffic seemed...

    Twitching and your carbon footprint.

    Aww TT, lies all lies - never raised me pliers there (yet)! Too busy supporting the efforts to get primary rainforest protected. Mind you, it was a long way to go to lead a young rangers walk and have the Brazilian kids confuse me for Bono! :-O And if I remember rightly ain't I under orders to...

    Twitching and your carbon footprint.

    There I was just about to type 'Go flu bug' myself and you beat me to it! As for the second part, decided 25 years ago not to inflict dunnokev nestlings on an unsuspecting world and don't regret it (yet!). (Oh, and just about to give up my car for a pushbike - sickening goodie goodie ain't...
