Carbon Footprint
Its not that I am anti green or come to that a tree hugger. I just want to go through my life with a bit of enjoyment even if it dilutes the atmospheric layer a little.
However I get totally hacked off when I get preached at about recycling, not taking short journeys in the car etc etc you get the message. Well getting to my point my Wife bought me a private index for Crimbo. So following the instructions on the form I set off to the DVLA local office to do the change over. Sat in traffic jams caused by my local council introducing bus lanes which cause congestion for cars ( not to mention the frequency of the buses is about 4 an hour most of which are 80% empty ). Then having to go, rather stop and go then stop again, around a pointless one way system with 4 sets of traffic lights (this system replaced a perfectly good roundabout which worked well ). Only to arrive at the DVLA local office to find it closed with the reason given " AS PART OF THE GOVERNMENT TARGET IN REDUCING ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT THIS OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED............ One gallon of petrol used and much frustration caused DVLA don't you love them. |

LOL - people use 'green' rhetoric to justify just about anything they fancy because no-one dares says anything to the contrary for fear of upsetting the handful of people that give a crap. It's the new 'health and safety'

The whole going "green" thing is a bunch of BS. It's a know fact that for instance trees grow better in areas of higher carbon output. Going "green" is just a way for the governmnet to justify creating new taxes and no real solutions. And hypocricy is a mother fucker, just look at "Mr. Green" himself. Al Gore preaches this BS all day long, meanwhile his mansion is lit up like a Christmas tree, he drives SUVs, and flies as much as possible. |

URGH!!
Cars are becoming more boring and easier to use which in turn increases the number of numpties on the road and the shockingly poor driving styles the numptie class of driver employs. Buses continue to billow acrid black smoke into the atmosphere unchecked and my road tax would make you think I was going around blinding school children. The whole Co2 tax movement can bite my fin banger cos' no matter what it costs as long as I can Im going to drive a BIG, FAT, NOISY FAST car and you lot in your unscientific hemp sandals can just suck it the fk up. |
