			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was driving in today and followed a car with at least 7 hats on the<br />
parcel shelf. As the car could only carry a maximum of 5 people that seemed over the top. And as several were the same style and all looked to be similar in size I could only conclude that they belonged to the same person. </p>
<p>In which case they are probably showing more to the world than they intended. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The science is getting close to certain that human development is adversly affecting the climate. People are pretty certain that development is A Good Thing. Development takes energy which releases carbon dioxide. Buildings generate carbon dioxide. Cows do as well. I don&#8217;t have an answer to the problem of development and climate but  I know that life without cars, planes, central heating, etc will be horrible.</p>
<p>So we need energy. The costs are borne by private companies who want a return. We want cheap energy. Reliable energy. In some case fun energy but we all want it. Either it is too hot or too cold but with energy that is fixed. We want development and drugs and education which means energy. We also want it climate friendly. </p>
<p>It isn&#8217;t an easy balance and it is made worse by campaigners simplifying everything.  No coal power is fine except that nukes are scary and wind is variable. Now people are questioning gas as a viable long term energy source. Well great. </p>
<p>But try looking at all sides and the. Make your mind up because you can&#8217;t build a power plant out of Lego in a day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Public transport is a source of great amusement. From beggers to professionals and students to pensioners all life is here in a fuymixed democracy of the un-vehicles. Wether by choice or circumstance we mix and switch and move for a little space or a seat or a conversation or to avoid a smell or a look or a threat. </p>
<p>But then someday you see things that make you look again. </p>
<p>Today it was a little black dress at 8.30am looking at least 8 hours past it&#8217;s donning. Then this afternoon saw a bloke wearing a pair of red dress shorts. </p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s thinkers and readers and that is truly a sight for sore eyes especially as there is an unoccupied seat to<br />
my right. </p>
<p>Happy days!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It appears that Gimphood can be conferred on people from different lands.  Whilst Gimp is still well in the UK (and possibly may vacate his position as Gimp as he becomes Daddy) a second Gimp, B, has been sighted in Germany.</p>
<p>Quite why Gimp B decided to divulge details of his intimate secrets with VP is as yet a mystery.  His uncovered talent of Techno Dancing have to be seen to be belived.</p>
<p>And his efforts on going out with 53 cents in his pocket takes some bottle.</p>
<p>But fair play.  He&#8217;s a fine chap and deserves credit.  Although why you&#8217;d want to tell people about silicone is beyond me and several other people &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although Ross and Brand may have been ill-advised to make the phone calls to Andrew Sachs surely this has gone far enough?</p>
<p>The initial show raised TWO complaints.  That is TWO.  Count them &#8211; 1 2 Stop.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it.  And then the Daily/ Sunday Mail get the story and off they go and the next thing you know there are THOUSANDS of complaints. How dumb can you get &#8211; being offended about something that you&#8217;ve only heard about because you&#8217;ve been (a) told about it and (b) been instructed into being offended?</p>
<p>Now, the fact that the offended Old Man&#8217;s grand daughter had the lack of sense to indulge in a night of excess with Brand is being overlooked.  That should be between him and her and if they can&#8217;t resolve it amicably then that&#8217;s life. It happens.  Sachs has accepted the apology so surely it&#8217;s time to move on?</p>
<p>Except now there must be someone RESPONSIBLE.  And they should PAY.  Brand is now even more notorious than before.  He has more material than before. He is, hopefully, funnier than before.  Ross has lost 3 months work and a million quid.</p>
<p>But the Beeb have lost a good member of the management.  Is any Controller aware of what people are broadcasting?  I doubt it.  And in the analysis, the programme only generated TWO complaints &#8211; which isn&#8217;t many.  I could complain about a programme, get a mate to do the same and then that would be similar.  Until, of course, the Press &#8211; bastion of fair coverage and good taste (Mosley, anyone?  Freddie Starr?  Hillsborough???  I&#8217;m sure you get the picture) &#8211; get hold of the story and suddenly &#8211; suddenly it&#8217;s a story.</p>
<p>Well, it is over.  So please, can we leave this alone, start to get back to brave broadcasting and please stop the talk show coverage because I&#8217;ve heard far too many opinions about the story and little fact.</p>
<p>And if anyone from the Beeb reads this, please get Danny Baker back on 606 permanently because he is great!  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having listened to news of the Banking System melt down, the end of growth, global recession and everything else over the past few weeks I really wonder how the people polluting our world with negativity get away with it.</p>
<p>Look past your TV and loads of good things are happening.  Read a book and see how life is going on.</p>
<p>Listen to the world around you and little has changed for most of us.  I&#8217;m sure things will get tighter but do we really need to be terrorised by The Man when life is for living?</p>
<p>Maybe we should sue some of these terrorists for boring us rigid with their fear and loathing &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was in London today and as it was hot there were all kinds of sights on offer.</p>
<p>A woman in a wheelchair in front of a bus, protesting I assume at her denied boarding made for an interesting spectacle.  The same woman in discussion with a couple of cops 5 minutes later made me smile &#8230;</p>
<p>A woman riding a bicycle in a short skirt was proof that the Skort is a fine invention.</p>
<p>And finally, I saw a woman crossing the road with Barbie legs.  As everyone knows, Barbie dolls are completely out of proportion to real people, but this woman had legs that were longer than normal and high heels.  I was a little surprised and grateful that she wasn&#8217;t Barbiesque in her other proportions or the lorry behind me would have run into the back of me rather than almost doing so &#8230;</p>
