Wow, that's some old money. The interest earned must have you set for life.  

I need a mortgage, can you help?

How have you managed to put up with this crap for so long WOM? I'm 41 and I am just about ready to see what is on the other side.

I find alcohol is good....

With politics....as long as one of you drinks enough of it...all is fine....either you OR the politician....same result...

You are most welcome, Ken (everyone)... it was said in all sincerity because nobody should have to live with such uncertainity.

And thanks for your concern for those of us downunder.... tho your "upside down on the planet" comment has me thinking. I was was never this wacky (my nutty Palin/McCain comments when I lived in the UK... obviously it's caused by the blood rush to the head.

Nah, I didn't like her, either... not after she karate chopped poor old Kermit and bent poor Gonzo's nose.  I always hoped the Swedish chef would turn her into bacon, but sadly.....

Little over 8 months and I can start collecting social security.  Can't wait.

Nice try but we already know about the whole ED thing.........

Hope it survives until then!  The way things are going, you might well be one of the last recipiants!

nope...pure rubbish......in fact I'd be more likely to believe we're entering into another Ice Age.......

look at the science and see what epoch had the largest diversity of life in the history of the planet and then look at what the average temperatures were at that time.........don't take my word or Gore's just look at the science.........

here's an intersting tidbit......the sun is currently having the greatest reduction in solar wind ever recorded...granted we haven't been recording it for a very long time but there's also a TEMPERATURE DROP in the solar wind of 14-17% which is pretty scary.

Well he is doing "harm" to the environment with his huge power bills, planes, etc.  Have you looked into his carbon credit scam?  I mean seriously, Gore is a propagandist which most of his "science" has been debunked.

Caused by global warming. 2 sides of the same coin if you ask me. Man isn't the cause of it though. Methane vents in the Arctic sea produce enough greenhouse gases to cause the climate changes. It's just a natural system. Nothjing we do will change it. We polluted the water and over fished the seas though.

I gotta agree with you there. In theory it is great for the earth and society because the poor can sell their carbon credits to the wealthy. Finally the poor would have something the rich want other than cheap labor. But I agree the whole thing isn't plausible.

I just disagree with you there. His science is debunked by oil companies.

There is no need to rehash the entire Global Warming debate. It's all been said. We can only wait and see what happens.

It's the whole "green" thing that's a scam and i know exaclty what I am talking about here. I deal with it for a living. I build Green Mansions.... an oxymoron if you ask me.

Thanks for reminding me NT..NOT!  However, I'll have you know that Ellubiant Diatribe is not that serious and can be cured with a good dose of Epsom Salts before meals.

Hypnosis was another method they tried, but someting went wrong and for 6 months I thought I was a chicken.  Eventually the missus took me back and explained the situation to the therapist, who asked her how long this had been going on.  When she said that it was around 6 months the therapist asked her why it had taken so long to take me back...

"Well," she said: "I would've but we needed the eggs." 

Yeah, I know... start taking the Epsom Salts

Oh, and did you see that the Republican Party suggested that Sarh Palin be blessed by the church against witchcraft?  Apparently John McCain was concerned that she may get pissed at Obama's 'lipstick on a pig' comment and didn't want to be seen as taking an unfair advantage in the lead up to the elections by having Ms Palin cast a spell that turned Obama into a frog.

Pundits, however, are betting that she won't last long and won't be able to help herself from dusting off her broomstick before polling day to mezmerise a few Democrats, particularly Obama and his supporters.  When Obama was questioned by the press regarding being turned into a frog, he replied: "It wouldn't make any difference, against her I could still win the election anyway."

Who the fuck cares whether or not 'Global Warming' is a myth . It makes perfect sense for our society to do things to reduce our impact on the enviroment, regardless of which way the wind blows.

Making it about 'Global Warming' is asshattery.

wow

You do know that the amount of carbon monoxide produced by the worlds oceans in one day is the equivalent of the amount "we" as humans produce in a single year, right?

I wonder what "Global Warming" was called last time the earth went into a climate change.
