Hmm they seem to have blurred out the breasts on the beach between Nice
and Cannes. Not that I've looked, mind.


Has anyone checked to see whether a certain address in Catford is on
StreetView?

One wonders what the purpose of the green box is? Perhaps we will be
told? It's also interesting to note that there seems to be a significant
time difference between the two images. One with scaffolding, one
without.

Eagle eyed readers might spot a similarity between that street scene and
this one:

You are a little bit out, it's down the street a bit more, look for
the eco caravan in the front garden.

I don't think so, look at the number on the door.

It's the same property that someone posed in front of with his bike +
trailer.

Well, I for one am disappointed.

Not only does the arch-anarchist live in a bog-standard semi, but he's
got single-glazed wood-framed windows as well. Not very "eco", Duhg.

It's far & away the tattiest house on the street too. Rather like its
owner.

It's a bog-standard council semi at that.

I caught a really dreaful old bunch of bull**** on Radio 4 last week. A
play about trying to achieve a zero emissions lifestyle. It was crap. It
also featured George Monbiot and a couple of other eco-mentalists
playing themselves.

Most of the scenarios were set up so that Monbiot et al could step in,
act smug, push their agenda and claim that XXX would save tonnes of
carbon per annum. However this is the sort of crap that Duhg believes.

Guess what single activity they condemned the most?

Retired people living alone at a distance from their family, hence using
up resources that could be used by an entire family. Monbio claimed that
old people living alone consume vastly more than their fair share of
resources. That sounds just like someone we know and barely tolerate.

In the play they forced the grandfather to go and live with his
children.

I heard it too. It really was a load of old ****e, wasn't it? I
caught it halfway through, and thought it was quite a funny parody.
My mrs then said that it wasn't supposed to be funny ...

act smug, push their agenda and claim that XXX would save tonnes of
carbon per annum. However this is the sort of crap that Duhg thinks everyone else should be forced to do.


I've corrected the last sentence above - hope that's OK.

I suspect that might fall foul of the European Convention of Human
Rights, as constituting either torture or a cruel and unusual
punishment.

thinks

Perhaps the CIA could use Mr Bollen as a way of breaking terror
suspects. "Tell us where the next bombing will take place, or Bollen
will explain two ozones again".

Thank **** I missed that one. There's not much I can imagine being
worse, although stuck in a room with tooooomtard and gollum probably
comes close.

Indeed so. But I've no doubt that he has an *excellent* excuse for
living on his own in a 3-bed semi with single-glazed wooden-framed
windows. Unless he actually lives in the box on the driveway, presumably
to the disgust of the real occupants of 119...

So come on Duhg - what's your excuse & how do you justify it?


In the play they forced the grandfather to go and live with his
children.


They wouldn't have him, surely to goodness...?


Presumably, in the play, the offending grandfather's home was bulldozed
in order to make way for a rainforest-friendly carbon-neutral lesbian
basket weaving centre?

I fear you may be a little confused. The green box isn't part of 119a
cough Road, it *is* 119a ahem Road. Gollum lives a trogolyditic
existence inside the box, occasionally emerging to infest this
newsgroup.
