Iceni warrior

I'm guessing that you don't know where the Spanish flu is thought to have originated?

Oh, you predicted that the world's airlines would be sitting empty on the tarmac for months did you? Tell me, while you are at it Nostradamus, what are this week's lottery numbers?

Africa is better to THE environment than the west is.

Look here sonny, I left college in 1984 and there were no politics classes on the Hotel management course I took. I think for myself and don't need any professor, communist or not, to tell me how to do it. Your statement is nonsense, it isn't Africans jetting off half way around the planet to sit by the pool or driving their gas guzzling SUVs to the mall to buy another phone because the new one has an ever so slightly better camera on it.

Me happy? No, I'm a bleeding heart liberal. I take no joy in the death of others. It's not me that wants to experiment on prisoners of the State. I'm just a glass half full kinda guy who can find a silver lining in the worst situation. If the worlds airlines have to stay grounded for 3 months and the economy has to shrink that's good enough for me. It's not all about population it's lifestyles that need to change.

It's just Gaia fighting back. Wash your hands, sit back and watch the show while enjoying the cleaner air and the quiet. Gaia moves in mysterious ways, her wonders to perform...

We're getting too far off topic now, Mountie Chaz will be along soon to slap our wrists...

You think we are better?

Africa is better to MY environment than the West is. I do understand your need to scapegoat others in order to avoid your personal responsibiliy though.

I'm surrounded by 100 acres of meadows and wheatfields, the only lights around here are my solar powered security light getting triggered by passing deer and the stars.

They have said that they will finish the season no matter how long it takes. I reckon they should just play the last few matches on the Playstation or with the managers playing Subbuteo in Hazmat suits. Leeds were on a 5 match winning streak though so it is a bit of a shame...

The average carbon footprint of a first worlder is 20 times that of an African living in a mud hut. I'm not going to castigate him for making sure he has enough children to make sure one survives to look after him in old age. I'm definitely not going to blame him for the global warming the West has caused with its selfish over consumption.

The distinction is immaterial the outcome is the same Gaia is fighting back. There's barely a plane in the sky, no one is out buying their 100th pair of shoes or some unnecessary piece of Chinese plastic junk. The air is cleaning and for the first time nations are actually on track to comply with the Paris accord. The only fly in the ointment is that it is only temporary and eventually a cure/vaccine will be developed. Every little helps though so I'm mining the clouds for all the silver I can get.

Better technology leads to lower consumption. That's why my 22 inch LED TV uses 37 watts but my first TV had a 5 inch black and white screen and used 50 watts. Like Ghandi I think Western civilisation would be a good idea.

Yes but who put the virus into the bats in the first place? Gaia is all knowing and omniscient.

Luddite? It's not about technology threatening the worker's jobs. I'm not throwing my clogs into the mechanised looms. It's about overconsumption. I'm sitting here in my solar powered off grid ecotruck consuming the minimum. I don't buy much except food and I make sure that has the lowest foodmiles possible. I don't even eat meat because of the inefficiencies and high carbon costs.

I'm not preaching about overpopulation, pandemics are Gaia's way of controlling species which are consuming too much and upsetting the natural balance. This is our rinderpest. Hell, it's even specialising in taking out the old and weak. As for Africans, they are not the ones over consuming, they don't have two cars and air-conditioning.

SERE?

Blame Gaia, she's been looking for a way to depopulate the two legged pest species for a while now.

Well I'd struggle to get a Leeds posse together here in the land of the Iceni anyway but up in Yorkshire they're a stroppy lot. Ask bcsapper if you don't believe me...

The army are safely in their barracks for now but I'm sure the plod would ''kettle'' any hooligans venting their spleens. Leeds fans do have a bit of a rep' though.

To get back on topic, after a 16 year wait to get back into the top league Leeds Utd are sitting at the top of the 2nd division with only 9 games to play and all fixtures postponed until further notice. Never mind your gilets jaunes, merde is going to get réel if they are denied promotion.

Well there's slim chance that we'll have the Olympics and there's no hockey to talk about so Mutually Assured Destruction is not in play. Besides, Go Leafs...

The teenagers at work tonight were complaining about how bored they would get if they have to stay at home for 3 months. I thought to myself, at their age I had no internet, no games console and there were only 3 channels on the TV which closed down at midnight. We didn't even have skunk, there was Columbian weed full of seeds and a bit of 'roccy or Red Leb' if you were really lucky.

Well like I said, it's his bat and ball to take away and I'm only a guest here at his favour. At least I kept my licence clean. Even discussing the actions of the mod's on PF.com got me 20 points with 30 being a ban. They only expired last Sunday...
