This post beggars belief.

Global warming blamed for baby penguins’ death
Hundreds of baby penguins swept by strong ocean currents from the icy shores of Antarctica and Patagonia are being washed up, both dead and alive, on tropical beaches in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo. Some experts are blaming global warming, while opportunists have begun selling the birds for up to $US 320. and dying penguins are being washed—-http://http://www.russiatoday.ru/features/news/28183

I wish I could save those poor baby penguins but I can’t. But I can help you combat global warming with PowertuneEnergySaver.com

There is a way we can easily help at an affordable price Powertune Energy Saver. If I was rich like Richard Branson I would give them away as they can even save the lives of the vulnerable.

Petrol (Gas) and Energy Prices UK v US

Yesterday morning an elderly America friend phoned at 0600!!! The conversation turned to talk about oil prices. He was complaining that Gas was $2 a GALLON.

He was speechless when told that in the UK we pay the equivalent of $1 a PINT.

The Victor Meldrew Moment #01

My latest Victor Meldrew Moment concerns glass recycling. On the way home from shopping at Netto I was caught in traffic jam which dangerously tailed back across a railway crossing.

Why? you ask. Because the East Riding of Yorkshire Council dust cart operatives were collecting the bottles from the pub on the corner by some traffic lights. Where were these bottles going? Answer,* LANDFILL*. Why do we householders bother to separate our bottles for colour and take them to the bottle bank? Why can bottles be collected from the network of bottle banks but not from commercial premises?

My next Meldrew Moment will concern plastics recycling.

If you have a Meldrew Moment you can share it publicly, please leave a reply, thanks.
