We need to stop wasting all natural resources, but oil is currently the big one, as we consume so much of it, across so much areas. Not going to go down well when shortages start to impact the supply chain and everyday items are impacted. The worsst thing about the current supply issue, was that it was all planned. The real shitstorm is yet to come. My faith in China, is that they invest heavily in sciences, and not for shareholder return. Might well be misplaced and could cause more problems if it comes to pass, but that's where I am on it.

China is the worlds biggest burner of coal but also the biggest user of renewables. Coal is there to mainly to provide stability to the grid & it's fairly cheap. Have a look at the open infrastructure map. It shows the direction they're heading although i suspect it might give you the heebie jeebies --> Open Infrastructure Map * It also shows England's power theft. Those Eastern Green Links don't have meters on them...

China creates its renewables by burning coal. It's geared up for, at best, one iteration of renewables. That's ignoring all the other materials required to produce them, because, lo and behold, they aren't themselves renewable. The answer isn't moving away from oil, it's moving away from high energy use. Edit: which will happen whether we like it or not.

I know it is. No argument from me. I believe in a move away from oil and I work in the industry, but common sense needs applied as to how to transition from it. Takes decades and lots of investment and no country is geared up for it, bar possibly China. Could be some difficult times ahead.

Well, aye. This is the point I've been making.... Our entire system is based on diesel. Even the "renewables". Wait until they find out what the fertiliser is made out of.

A tory Peer has came out raging against it. "the stuff on nonsense!". The fact the UK Government have just postponed the upcoming rise in fuel duty, makes me think they are beginning to get squeaky bums over the ongoing Iran situation and the impact on the supply chain. Get the baked beans stockpiled folks.

I had the programme. Ticket stub, boarding pass and book of matches from the St. Clair and a whole lot of other 'merch' and memorabilia. On my mother's passing I cleared my parent's house to discover it had all been turfed. Yet the cupboards contained tins of peaches older than me and a shoebox of pre decimal currency and premium bonds. My old man did loan me the money for the trip but I don't think he told my ma!

I stupidly bought a programme in Spanish. It is in a box somewhere. I saved my travel itinery though and the great John McMaster signed it at the night out at the Rock

Being a pathetic spineless waste of space is what puts the Great into Great Britain. Looking like insignificant desperados on the world stage was worth it because of all those German neurosurgeons that were taking are jobs. Take that Herman. Bosh!

The UK has loosened sanctions on Russian oil, due to supplies running out. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy42x3g7r89o

Fine Young Cannibals - I'm Not the Man I Used to Be

Too bad it's not going to the last day. Imagine Arsenal blowing the league and Spurs getting relegated at the same time.

Finished 2-1. Spurs need a point against Everton to stay up. West Ham need to beat Leeds and hope Spurs do what Spurs do.

Radio bloke. Does breakfast show on Absolute. Bit annoying but I don't mind the breakfast show

I also don't think Ralston is as bad as people make out. He's certainly got a good attitude too imo. When he was having a mare at the euros in 24 I never once got the impression he was hiding from the ball.... Might have been better for him if he had to be fair

2-0 Chelsea. Spurs still just need a point at the weekend but on this evidence that is not a given.

Meanwhile Chelsea 1-0 against Spurs which will mean relegation won’t be settled until last day.

Finished 1-1 so Arsenal are Champions in England.

Quite like the squad launch video.
