Congratulations!

Words fail me at the man's stupidity - at least, any words with more than four letters. He says he wants to build a better future for our children, yet is content to watch the world burn. The sooner we ditch him, the better.

Tung or Danish oil.

My first workshop had a profiled sheet roof that I had sprayed with about 4" of foam. I had 6" purlins, so there was still 2" left to hang things from and to fix lights to. Worked a treat, but it was rather expensive, I was just lucky that the local chap owed me a favour and did me a good...

A man goes to the doctor. "What seems to be the problem?" asks the doctor. "I'll show you," says the man. Turns round, drops his trousers and bends over. "Christ," says the doctor, "You've got a lettuce growing out your @rse!" "Ah," says the man, "That's just the tip of the iceberg..."

Never been a fan of round handles on bill hooks / slashers - a bit prone to turning in the hand when it's least needed...

Safe to say, whatever you get rid of, you'll need the next week...

Wow! No-one else is throwing that drowning man a lifeline, so why should I? Flawless logic.

Sorry Phil, but where did I say that I was supporting Drax? I've always thought it was a bloody silly idea - we should be concentrating on solar, wind, geothermal et al for power production, all of which are well within our grasp and only lack the political will to make a go of it. When I...

When did I say I supported Dax (or pelleted wood fuel for that matter)? I don't and never have, but now you mention it, it does make a lot more sense to use locally sourced wood for some heating, because although when it burns it emits CO2, while that wood grows, it sucks CO2 out of the air, so...

I cannot understand your reasoning - you openly admit that we are abusing the planet, then go on to advise more of the same. How do you think your god would feel about that? I suspect he would be disappointed that his experiment in granting us free will has failed so dismally...

Everybody can make a difference. To suggest that just because someone else is going to make emissions, we should just join in is lazy and wrong, every bit of CO2 we don't emit is helping. There are more billions of people in the world than I know, imagine if every one of them, individually...

Do you not find it the least little bit disturbing that the richest people contribute the smallest fraction of their income to the good of society? The poorest have always (and by the look of it will always) pay the biggest fraction of their wealth in supporting the world. A fairer system is...

I think you're forgetting the "Per Capita" bit - India may well have that many billionaires, but amongst how many in their population, which is many times greater than ours? You may have noticed that I say wealth distribution is a global problem, not just the UK's. And by the way, I am...

Believe me Deema, when I say I share your cynicism, but in truth we are a rich country that has done more than most over the years to create the climate crisis and should be doing more to ease it. I'm pretty sure that if we taxed the rich in a much more fair manner than currently, we could...

Give it a couple of months, then think about getting a rescue dog. I understand that it will in no way be a replacement, but speaking from experience, it can help ease the pain if you let it. And remember, as long as you're around to remember him, he's not truly gone...

Well at the end of the day, I may be proved wrong in my belief in the evidence for global warming, in which case I'll look a right tw*t, but there'll be nothing new in that. If on the other hand, you're proved wrong and all this burning of fossil fuel leads to the end of our comfortable little...

But surely that just strengthens the argument for listening to the scientists? As you point out, at one time it was thought that we were heading to a new ice age, but the scientists were thankfully sceptical enough of their own research (as any good scientist should be) to carry on with that...

I have no wish to demean you - I'm a product of my local comp myself (grand total of three halfway to decent exam results). But if you can admit to shortcomings in your grasp of language, then might it just open a window to considering that your views on the climate and man's impact upon it may...

How is viewing global warming jingoistic? If your grasp of the English language is anything to go by, I'm not sure we should be trusting your scientific reasoning...
