Just think of all the trouble we could have saved if only you'd realized this sooner.

I was strictly limiting the scope of this phrase (wher's my lawyer?)
My fast has started. I've cut out white bread and have resolved to use up what's in the fridge before buying any thing. Gather round my virtual bed as I weaken.

Hull Hound, you do realize that we won't give you the satisfaction, don't you? As soon as you lose consciousness we are going to use the money we've earned as capitalists and pay some doctor to insert a feeding tube. You will have to live on knowing that we will never agree with you.
By the way, starving socialists can't afford lawyers. You are also going to have to live with the knowledge that you have admitted that Erin and I are "obviously right."

Not a feeding tube, the peoples' tube.
man cannot live on nutrition, hydration and antibiotics alone. Be strong.
Honestly , I can rank myself as better because I have a small car but I still have a car. Actually I don't, but that's not the point .
If I turn my heating down to 16 C, then I'm not an eco pioneer.
If the op was angry at a puritanical pressure then good. The world won't get better by self flagellation. (Chast go away)

Maybe not, but you'll be passable compost eventually.

Only if Hull Hound consents to be buried.
Post-cremation ash (in fact no such thing-it's charred bone fragments) makes very poor compost; it's only fit for concrete mix.
Of course he can always leave his remains to the medical students!

Ah well, he can be mixed into a flagstone then, and call it post-consumer recycled material.

Concrete! I’d never build with such a greenhouse gas intensive composite. Surely, you have none! Surely you haven’t!
It’s so marginal in the wider scheme whether I have only one, two or three cars, air-con, or only central heating set at high, medium or frio.
I heat one room of my house in winter only and don’t drive a car. Hot water is off an instant boiler. I do it because I want to. I do it because I only need one room, I don’t have a family, if and when I do, the central heating comes back in and cars as needed. I do other stuff which isn’t nearly so eco-lessdamaging, but I refuse to be miserable, puritanical and self-congratulatory about it. Stop considering yourselves saints. It is pukeworthy.

I thought Brits were supposed to be good at recognizing irony?

There are one or two Brits who are genetic anomalies who can't.

Sure. Start behaving like the Universal Citizen you claim to be and we'll be even.

Yeah, yeah, right. I'm going to find Erin and go have a drink. Enough of this self-righteous bilge from the greener-than-thou crowd.
