It's quite good to see that so many B3ta folk are so environmentally minded though

I can't hear you with this air conditioning and heating system on at the same time!

turn your speakers up.


*edit - actually, rather ashamedly I only recently learned what the knobs on the radiators do. So now I don't have to have the heating on in my drum room when I'm downstairs.

A little bit less wasteful everyday. :D

Could you nip round to my old office in London and show them?
Every winter it's the same.

Turn all radiators on full.

When three people die of heat exhaustion turn them off.

When one person dies of hypothermia, turn them back on full.

When the walls crack and the glass in every window shatters, turn them all off again.

When a glacier forms in the corner, turn them all back on full.

And so on...

Oh god yeah..
in our office, which is part of a larger shared building type thing. the radiator knobs are actually broken, so they're permanently on, very very high. And in a small room with mostly glass walls, 6 people and about 10 computers, it's not pleasant at all.

At school on hot days I used to be the first out of the room at break times
since the smell of 30+ teenage sweating arsecracks all standing simultaneously made me dry heave

I hope you've got the window open too

Cos if opening cold things make it hot
Turning on hot things will cool it down!

I took the windows out last year
they were pointless
( swaza I'm bad, I'm bad. You know it. I'm bad., Thu 7 Dec 2006, 14:04, archived)

I just live outside
with six patio heaters.

I use only disposable plates, cutlery and clothes.

And I wash in the blood of freshly clubbed baby seals, using manatee fat for soap.

But I only buy recycled toilet paper.

I washed my car using Evian water.

And i put the empty bottles in the normal bin - not the green one.
mmwwuuuaaahahahahahaaaaaa

My house, and next door, are the only two houses
that I know of, in the entire town, that aren't allowed green bins.

Strange.
(imnotplayinganymore it's like a pot, for chocolate tea, Thu 7 Dec 2006, 14:09, archived)

I have ordered a green bin approximately 10 times
over the last few years, and they have never turned up.

But I move house tomorrow anyway. I hope the new people get a delivery of 10 green bins.
( swaza I'm bad, I'm bad. You know it. I'm bad., Thu 7 Dec 2006, 14:11, archived)

that would be ace.

If they do, can I have one?
(imnotplayinganymore it's like a pot, for chocolate tea, Thu 7 Dec 2006, 14:13, archived)

No!
We shall throw the remaining 9 in the non-recycling bins to avoid confusion
( Keyboard Weasel, Thu 7 Dec 2006, 14:15, archived)

but that bin is only collected on the 2nd wednesday
of the 4th month after the 1st lunar equinox

I think. It may be different over xmas.

My mate who lives in Milton Keynes...
...told me about a big kerfuffle a few years back when it emerged that the council put taxes up to pay for green bins, recycling bins etc, and then one lorry came along every week and threw everything in each bin in together =)
( Professor Kenny Martin Receiver of the world's first Marbleositing, Thu 7 Dec 2006, 14:13, archived)

THAT'S what we pay council tax for.

The other year, Leeds city council got caught sending all of their 'recycled' rubbish to a landfill in Malaysia (or somewhere like that).
How fucking shit is that :¬)
