So, im standing at a bus stop waiting for a bus when i get to meet this charming old man.
Now dont get me wrong folks. Im not one for talking to strange drunk men, but this one got to talk to me before getting drunk, what a nice bloke.
Anyway, after talking to him i thought i wuold get round to my global warming blog.
Some interesting facts:
There are 7 billion people on this planet and if we all had cars, and fridges and all the other stuff we had to get rid of due to global warming - i mean really maxed out, we would only make up 18% of this planets total o2 immisions.
34% comes from land - all those bubbling vocanos and caves etc
and the daddy of the all is the sea! 48%!!!!
...and sadly i cant remember where the other 10% went but it was minimal and nothing could be done about it anyway.
But when i was a kid the weather was nothing like it was today. I remember regular snow in winter. I remember cold autumns. But then i remember lots of things.
One of the things i remember was the map of the world. huge patches of lush green lands accross our great global landscape. And today i saw a map with not so many green bits! You know we have wiped out so many trees globally its a miracle we dont look like Mars. We were flattening trees across the globe before we long before we all knew what a rain forest was, or what it did, or how it played its part in maintaining our delicate planetary system. We have wiped out some of the oldest tress in the world for crops and roads and cities and factories. and well, just to change the view! we have hacked away at trees in the last 200 years as if they were going out of fashion and i think its safe to say (thinking of our recent floods) its cost us big time!
Deserts getting bigger, all that ice melting - the face of this planet is in the process of change and there is nothing we can do about it, well we could. And in fact, as this is my blog and i can rant all i like, i shall say, instead of sending our fine troops to pointless wars in dusty desert lands, why not send them to fend for unprotected forests? why not have them develop a military plan for replanting? Instead of telling people about doing something about the 8% they are producing now.
And dont even get me started on global dimming!
Remember Dinosaurs? As i recall they started eating a lot of trees too and they got hit not only by a meteor, but there was also a plum earthquake that also set of the blackening of the sky lasting longer than the effects of the meteor. (told you i was a geek)
I believe gods once walked this planet, the dinosaurs and probably a few other things as well. the the ones that have lasted are remembered in some way. Gods in stories and worship, Dinosaurs in rock and Barney. How will we be remembered when we are no more? will we be known as the ones who thought we could stop a change, but didnt think we could create one.
who knows. Blog possibly.lol
Hope you are all well you wonderful people. Even you baldy.

This last few days
Ya know folks i have had a quiet few days. well, sort of. but they have been quiet. Went to a conference, where i go to soak up more information (yep! im a geek.lol).
Got to see old friends - and may i say, Hi, you looked well QV, good luck in your coming years, sorry i didnt say goodbye - you know me and crowds, and i wish you love and happiness to you and yours.
I got to shake my thang on the dance floor - now that was rare, people would pay good money to see that i can tell you!
I got to relive my teenage rock years.
I got to prove that i am brilliant again on a small number of occasions
I got to see others being brilliant too.
And as i return to life following my essay hell. i see the world is a changing place. Nothing is the same as it was and we are not who we used to be.
I feel we have missed something along the way that once made us great and it felt like a step forward. i feel we used to live in a world that cared, in world where thoughts counted, where feelings counted, where action counted. Do you remember the days when being a Myrtr ment something? me too, where did they go? there was a time when if a person set fire to themselves on the steps of london, as a nation, we stopped in our tracks and listened to why and gave support to the beliefs of someone who felt they had to do such a thing to prove a point. I remember the days when a rally was a right to protest, and was seen as such; as opposed to today where only subversives do that kind of thing.
I remember a time when what we had was creative spark. something completely new would come out and amaze the world. A time when tried and tested hard work was the only thing that made it through the ranks of talent, as opposed to "you look like a star", come and play this formula.
I remember a time when we as a people could move mountains by our sheer will to do so.
I remember a time when we had time.
But i look and see a snapshot world of short attention span, of care-less attitudes, of what kind of idiot sets fire to themselves. A world where formula is written into history and set in stone. But no one cares anymore so the stone becomes irrelavant. I rememeber when great art ment something, when great singers ment something, when ideas where created with, and dilivered with passion, and from the heart and from what we new to be great minds.
Where are those days? why did they go? why did we let them go?
What am i saying? i guess im saying that i feel we live in a world of plastic and not substance.
I miss the old world. - god bless the 70s

more stuff on Sci Fi
Ya know folks, I was watching Heros the other day and ever sinse the first episode i have been wondering what it is about Hiro that i like him so much, and its this. (Awesome power aside of course).
Hiro, to me represents the good of man! its that simple. He is such a wonderful harmless gentle soul in a world of potential bruts. Dont get me wrong, Pete Petrelli is a nice guy, but Hiro is just the warmest representation of decency that i have seen in a long time. You dont get many people like him anynmore because the world tends to step on them or beat and bully them until they are no more (Hiro of the future being a classic example), but Hiro - What a guy. Well deserve'd of a Dark Half Oscar just for being him. great bloke no mistake!
And did anyone elses blood run cold when Syler got Claire? - didnt see that coming! - Bravo!
And bloody hell wasnt DW just the second cumming! awesome episode!!!!! Oscars all round boys! and ok, i can say it here but would never admitt to anyones face, but there were tears in my eyes when he held the master and pleaded with him to regenerate - Oh to be the last one, how desperately lonely:o( - Tennant! A very special dark half oscar for you mate (cuz you know he reads my blog as well.lol) youre a good actor, he'll go far that kid!
Even the guy who played the Master did an excellent job - not sure you played a brillant Master, but you did play an awesome Villan.
And Martha - outstanding!
And i shall control my Sci-fi outbursts from now on.lol (Unless Heros is mega brill on monday, in which case i just wont be able to help myself)
Love you all

Mass victimization.lol
Hip Hip - Horrar!!
from July 1st (and we have all seen the adverts and certainly seen the stickers - they got them in early.lol) - Britain becomes a smoke free nation.
Right! im on me soap box so quiet for a moment because im not liking the way this is being handled!
Dont get me wrong folks, i think the new law is fine, smokers smoke is one of those things that we cant control, it does annoy other people and to that end it should be banned. - I dont buy into the idea of passive smoking. I believe it should be banned for the health of the individuals who start.
Whats really getting on my nerves here is the new bans link to cancer research. - did i miss something really obvious? did my parents not use certain methods of control on me as a kid? (stop windging, whats ya point O?)
My point is this - If, for one second i am to take this ban seriously (with reference to its cancer research link) why dont they take fags off the bloody shelves!!!? if you are serioius about a link to cancer research and you are to be seen to be "doing something about it"! why dont you go the whole bloody hog? take it off shelves, ban it coming into the country via tourists and smugglers, i mean a complete wipeout of tobacco related products.
Instead of this halfarsed milky tea atempt to say we are "doing something about it" - my arse!
But of course, i forgot. taking it off the shelves would create gaps in revenue, it would create significant wholes in the pockets of wolesalers and retailers and tax bill nationwide! and we cant have that!
Look, i would love to say to you all that i welcome the ban but i dont, i see this step as a piss take and a victimization of a minority group who are already in a one down position because they have the habbit.
Help, real help, a real significant step - no, the only step take in the battle against us smokers is a complete removal! do that and i will sign any document or patition needed to carry it through. But this bullshit ban that comes into effect in july is, in my view pointless. - bloody nanny state!
and for all those of you who say we shouldnt have started in the first place you only have yourselves to blame and you wont get my sympathy... - F**KOFF!
Nobody who has ever smoked truely understood what they were getting into, and once your in, well..
So there ya go! ...but i still aint finished!
I dont drink. I have done, i used to, i remember the good old days of my youth being so drunk that i had no idea how i got home and "did i pass my nother when i came in??, what did she say?? what did i say???". I have been drunk to the point of blind, to the point where i couldnt get off the floor to have a wee (yep! i did). But as i say, i dont drink now, no reason, may have the odd tot every now and then but i dont drink enough to say i drink. (what is your point man!!?)
its this, you may not think it, and you may not feel it now, but its coming. Drinking is next! they will ban drinking and the effects will be far wider spread, and much deeper felt than that of a complete smoking ban.
And you know what? the sooner the better! (of course im bitter.lol)
I have never walked past a group of youths smoking 10 B&H and thought "I could be in big trouble here". I have never seen 15 guys kicking the shit out of 1 guy because they had 1 silk cut to many. I have never known anyone to be in fear of whats going to happen when there partner gets home because they are doing just too much Golden Vaginia!
I have had many a nurse tell me about cancer related drinking patients, I have experienced drunken violence first hand and seen so much drink related violence in my time, i have counselled drink related domestic violence victims, I have lost friends in drink related car crashes and hit and runs. I have had to wait for 4 hours bleeding in A&E while all the drink related emergencies got delt with first. I have seen the nicest people turn to animals after only a few, I have seen people compromise themselves morally and dignity wise after a few, i have seen people blow big business deals because they have had more than a few.
My point is that with teen drinking, violence domestic or otherwise, full casualty rooms on fridays and saturdays, blah blah blah - nanny is coming for you folks.
And you moderates who only have a tot, or a pint after work. you know im not talking about you, but i also know you know who i am talkig about, it not just a few, its a far more significant problem that smoking could ever be. and ok, ones anti social, one is social, but a problem is a problem. and nanny will see to it in time.
...Then who knows whats next??
Love you all, smoker drinkers and total abstainers.
