Why the hell should us little folk bother with turning off a few low energy bulbs in the face of such profligacy?
Absolutely agree. Our village doesn't have any street lights and I love it, stars are amazing. Perhaps in run down areas it could be essential though?

It wasnt me,

And do you honestly think that CM is "blameless?"

We all provoke at times, tis true. But he generally tries to argue the point rather than going straight into personal abuse. I don't like his sneers at working people either, but that's the way some people are, I suppose.

Dunno I thought he may have gone off in a huff, thrown his toys out of the pram or something!

Wouldn't have thought so, probably just sulking and licking his wounds more like.
Expect he'll return with a vengeance soon enough.

Probably gone to a forum members boot camp and will come back and kick ass.... Maybe Stevie should give up the ballet classes and go with him....

Some of the fittest, strongest people you'll meet are ballet dancers - I suggest you never pick a fight with one.. Not sure why they tend to bat for the other side though

I dont often come across male (or female) ballt dancers, but if I do I will take notice of your warning, thanks for the tip,

I was going to post something profound, and just went away to put peanut butter in a couple of mouse traps, which made me feel like a murderer.

The profundity has left me, I don't care if they bomb Iran, or if Berlusconi gets aids, or if Greek train drivers retire at 49 with 5K pensions a month.

If I hear screams during the night, I'll be a murderer. I might put in my ear plugs.

Try melting a piece of chocolate onto the bait pedal. Here it works better than peanut butter.

Just to get an even view of things.....they have been doing that in the UK too, for several years in some instances!
