Some years ago I was living in a narrow cul-de-sac in Reading -
cars parked
along both sides making the actual useable street very narrow
indeed. One
day there was a big fire near the closed end of the street;
trapped
in the burning building etc. It was most entertaining to see
ladder
appliance nerfing parked cars out of the way on it's way up the street!

Excellent! I dearly wish I had beeen there to see it.

Wouldn't that be frivolous transport ?

A Fire engine?

No you wished you'd been there, to get there would require transport,
and as it isn't essential that you were there it'd be frivolous.


If I had been there it would be more than likely that I would be on a
bicycle which, because it doesn't pollute and congest but does promote
healthy exercise, is not frivolous.


You'd cycle from catford to reading ?


No reason to.

Or would you use your leather shoes mr vegan ?

Don't wear leather at all. I suppose you exploit animals for frivolous
reasons, like vanity.

Glad to see you've finally admitted that leather shoes aren't compatible
with your vegan ideals, and all those months you spent protesting that
they were.


There are, still, varying degrees of Veganism. The fact that I am more
'pure' than I used to be, and even more radical now, is pleasing to
me.

Varying degrees of veganism teehee


Animal exloiters like yourself do not understand.

PS Nice to have you back Duhg I actually missed you in some sort of
masochistic way )


Surprisingly, that is the most pleasant thing anyone has said about me
on this newsgroup for as long as I can remember. Could it be that I am
actually experiencing a degree of tolerance from car users and animal
exploiters here? No, surely not!

Alas no, but you do brighten up the newsgroup, you also have the side
effect of bringing out the best in the other posters which usually ends
up with me grinning.


Or is it the worst I bring out in them that makes you grin? It does me.
