NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Enjoy a well deserved, and hopefully dry, break!
Well dry in the precipitation sense!!!!!!
Naturally! Although I wouldn’t wish to make any assumptions about an individual’s consumption, or lack thereof, of alcohol 🤣
Afore ye go…..

Have a good hol.
Even the DT today is getting the msg across in three major pieces, and the letters page is all sceptics. Wow!
Have a good break, Paul.
Have a good break. Hope you manage to get a bit of cycling in.
If it’s windy, please take a windmill with you – every little helps!
Enjoy your break.
Have a good time Paul. A well deserved break.
Enjoy your break, Paul.
If it’s wet & windy, that’ll give you more time to research subjects for your insightful posts!
Have a good one Paul. You deserve a break. Thanks for all your hard work.
Give my regards to Edinburgh should you be passing through.
Have a great trip.
Have a good break, so well deserved.
Thanks Paul,

You have a few hours left to catch this stunning propaganda from our local BBC news
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001cv78
The script writers must have been working with windfarm PR people to come up with this remarkable spin about yesterday’s big news
All they had to do was report what was happened
ie that the government has decided to increase energy stability in the long run by opening up 100 new oil/gas licences.
Instead the opening words were that there has been condemnation from UNNAMED voices
That’s clearly PR not news
With the regular calm presenter away @LookNorthBBC opened with this
“Good evening : international climate experts say it’s WRONG
and a danger to our environment,
BUT the government has announced today that it is pressing ahead with DIGGING fossil fuels from under the sea
100 new gas and Oil exploration licences have been granted for the sea off the East coast including Yorkshire and Lincolnshire”
Then a quote from the minister
Then
Presenter Leanne “Well it brings into focus the debate around what’s the best and most practical way forward for our energy supplies.
Fossil Fuels OR renewables (fallacy alert ..Fallacy of false dichotomy the minister just said it’s not a case of one or the other)
report continued and later prog ended by repeating that narrative
Did you see what they did ?
Instead of simply reporting what the government has done, they turned their report into “It’s a debate”
No a decision has been made, that is the actual news.
Enjoy! 😂
Good luck with the Bagpipe kessons!
So pleased that our King has been fended off COP27 in Egypt. Has everyone forgotten the utter failure of COP26? Freedom to burn as much coal as they need. Can anyone point to a COP that has been a success? Paris? Don’t make me laugh.
But Coeur de Lion, going to warm sunny Egypt during the cold dark winter coming in the UK would have been ‘a sacrifice that had to be made’.
I hope your holiday doesn’t include floods. Electric Cars in the Florida floods are spontaneously catching fire a week after they were caught in the floods and difficult to deal with. Fire Department “never had to deal with this before”. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/waterlogged-electric-cars-imploding-florida-172415953.html
