Just catching up - watched the interview with his cousin - agree that was appalling journalism.

Telling the guy that there were no other survivors - when he had just said the sole survivor was sat next to his brother - maybe explain it off camera but to do it on camera ffs.

We should definitely look to limit our consumption of unnecessary sh1te to help limit the environmental damage we are doing.

Whether that is online, the latest fashion or just buying cr*p we don't need is a mute point.

I wouldn't especially target the cloud or any other technology - am not a luddite (although am crp with technology) - but I do have an issue with over consumption, absolutely.

You are somewhat mistaken if you believe our net zero targets are the reason we pay high prices for our electricity.

Whilst accepting there are green levies on our bills (which make them higher than they would otherwise be) the real reason we pay high prices is the structure of our electricity trading market. I did a year (early 90s) working for Eastern Electricity in the team responsible for contracts to purchase electricity - and used to model the market so understand how it was set up.

There is basically a bidding system where providers of power (Be that a power station, gas station, chicken sh1t burner or an owner of renewable windfarms) bid to supply to "the pool" - the bids are ordered on price and they give the orders to all the suppliers upto the forecast demand.

The price paid is set at the bid of the last supplier whose bid wins - everyone gets his price, even those who bid much lower. The bidding process is done every 30 mins - the price jumps around with higher demand times commanding higher prices.

But it is the fact that all the suppliers get the price of the last supplier to bid that is the reason our prices are so high. The system as set up was supposed to keep prices low (and is does if you have excess supply, lots of bidders desperate to sell their power) but when supply is short it rewards all the suppliers with the higher prices and we pay accordingly.

Is a bit complex to explain on one post (And their are other elements to the pricing paid) but that is it in a nutshell. Our system (as set up in the early 90s) is why we pay the highest prices - good old Maggie :-)

To be balanced - we have had far lower prices for decades so it's not been all bad - but it defo is not down to our chasing net zero whatever the reform idiots want you to believe.

There was more than 1 thread where some Twtdrs admitted to having a "thing" for Priti.

Agree. And the English commentator said it was a minute before the goal and so shouldn't matter...

They showed the lines so Ronaldo not offside and goal stood...fair enough

But the commentators (and Ronaldo?) seemed to be saying it was too early for the offside to be given even if it was offside...

Ridiculous position for me, it would surely have been given offside if Ronaldo had been offside?

Sounds like a Geography field trip at school, where we were supposed to measure the length of stones on a beach every 100m, and plot them to see if they got smaller (long shore drift stuff)

Or, you could out of the rain in a warm pub and just make up the results. No prizes for guessing were we spent the afternoon.
