  1. Most flytipping is fairly easy to trace because the material tends to give the source away.

    Don't listen to me! Shocker of a 4-1 defeat tonight to go out of the cup!
  3. Lowe, Wilde & Wotte should accept the blame that is theirs to take and show some humility. Shameful. At least they will have the ongoing legacy for being known forever as the muppets who dragged Saints to the lowest point in living memory. Selfish bastards.
  4. I'm doing fine tbh as a lot of my work is with power stations and wind farms and they're doing fine because the need for new power is so great. A marginal danger exists that banks could start pulling money from projects but by and large they are seen as safe as they have political backing. Also there is plenty of R&D funding from the UK government and EU. For example, last week the EU committed €5bn to new energy projects, mainly new gas interconnectors (eg. plan to link Ireland with Wales)and expanded electricity grids (plan for North Sea grid involving UK, Scandinavia, Holland & Germany to pass wind derived power about). Carbon capture also got €1,250m for 11 EU demo projects, four of which are here in the UK - Kingsnorth, Longannet, Tilbury & Hatfield power stations. Also big growth in biomass power stations, for example Drax which owns the Drax coal fired power station in Yorkshire that is the country's biggest carbon emitter has plans to build at least two biomass power stations. I am working on one of them currently. So plenty going on. Waste is suffering in some areas like recycling where unsorted plastic has dropped from £100/tonne to £50/tonne which means that more investment is required in better waste streaming facilities, so that will go on. There is also a growth in integrated waste management facilities where the stuff that can not be recycled on site will be incinerated for energy.
  5. It's a system that needs more experimenting and more political backing although it could work with the right technologies. The big concern is nasty neighbours filling up your own bin instead of theirs but there have been limited trials using simple padlocks as well as variations of RF tagging to try and get something that technically beats the potential abuse.
  6. The EU has been totally hypocritical about letting recyclers palm all their crap off on China and other developing nations however.

    Keepers are the easiest to train up. On average if you set training for goalkeepers the TSI will increase by 500 each week. Keepers by TSI are cheaper than other players for that reason. I would spend maybe £60,000 on one of about 2,000 TSI and train him up from there. I've never gone into debt so not sure how hard it is to get out but I know loads of people give up because they are in debt having spent poorly as novices. They expect it to be like FM where you buy a player and suddenly it's all brilliant. The thing to remember is you are playing real people, not a computer.
  8. Absolute poppy****. And I work in energy and environment. The Landfill Directive and various pieces of EU legislation mean that countries across the EU are reducing landfill because thay now have to pay to pollute and more stringent targets are being put in place year on year.

    I beat my closest rival 3-0 so a good start!
  10. Couple of decent slopes at the sports centre.

    It's Snowing

    Not been to the Ski Dubai place?
  12. I just can't agree with that. Skacel has wanted out for ages so let him go. Saga is a guy who wants to play for Saints.
  13. Interesting that McG goes off and we score within minutes!
  14. Well played Saga. Who are these ****ing idiots who sent him out on loan and generally treated him like ****?
  15. McMenemy has made the point a few times that we are getting too many bookings and red cards. Says it is because of inexperienced players getting caught out of position and then lunging in.
  16. Alpine is good with words like outraged. I've noticed that!
  17. Because Solent paid for local rights not national ones!!
  18. But it was the English who conquered the Scots, Welsh and Irish and created the Union. Which way do you want it?
  19. It was the north gate to the city walls which contained a castle though.
  20. Would that not tempt the Scots to rename Edinburgh Waverley station as Bannockburn?
  21. He is one of about 150 players chasing 60 places so I'd think it's unlikely he'll end up in the IPL.
  22. Another TMS legend moves on.

    I try to buy in the middle of the day or dead of night and sell in the evening time.
  24. The OS says you can get one for £400 for the rest of the season. I guess that's about 15 down one side of a pitch opposite any TV crews that bother to turn up. £6,000 for an ongoing message, assuming free speech of course! What would you say?
  25. She is sooo naughtyyy... I don't even understand what overlapping a full back is about. But I am prepared to let Fiona show me. :smt054
