Get out and pick your hazel nuts NOW! I picked a kilo yesterday and am going to pick more today. Animal (greedy) bastards are on the rampage at the moment (squirrels, voles, rats, mice, sheep and rabbits) eating your nuts. Get out into the wild and grab your nuts. Wild hazel nuts taste about 10 mill...

I?d break into a chicken farm and let the poor little things out of their cages ? and then tie down a Labour politician with corn glued to his/her fat naked body and let the chickens peck the Nazi to death. I have nightmares about the unmitigated cruelty to chickens but strangely I would like to see...

Between June 2005 and May 2006 China?s demand rose by 600,000 barrels a day, and during the same period its? production rose by 100,000 barrels per day. For the same period US demand stayed static and production fell by 460,000 barrels per day. For the same period OPEC?s output fell by 770,000 barre...

Thanks ? a four marathon of viewing but worth it.

I get the feeling they wanted to say a lot more but were too frightened (look what happened to David Kelly).

I liked that.

Woops! It was just and ad on the top.

I thought it was clever. Not so alarmist as to be dismissed as sensational fear mongering, but still with enough clues and suggestions to make people imagine what life might be like when oil gets scarce. The vicious beating of the old guy at the petrol station was meant to indicate, I think, how bru...

It was a typo ? I meant 50,000 (now corrected). Indeed, some 250,000 UK citizens have homes abroad for holidays or with a view to emigration in latter life, but the 50,000 I should have cited specifically refers to those who had purchased self-sufficiency boltholes (with substantial land) abroad. Th...

Here is an old blog of mine ? it really gets my goat that the UK was in a comfortable position in relation to ?Peak Oil? but our security has been utterly destroyed by the ghastly creatures in parliament over the last 35 years. UK Oil ? What an Idiotic Waste! The UK, in total, had about 30 billion b...

Compact cities tend to exacerbate social problems. Here is some covert footage taken in the compact city of Billund in Denmark.

It?s not that bad, but admittedly there is always an element of self-delusion about the quality of one?s creations.

Wine from water. Get a bucket (10 litre). Clean it out then fill it up with water and add 1 tablespoon of bleach and stir (to sterilize it). Let it stand for 90 minutes then pour out the water/bleach and swill out a couple of times with fresh water. Add a 1kg bag of white sugar to the bucket and a j...

The BBC has reported today that Venezuela has hinted it could price its? oil exports in Euros rather than US dollars, further weakening its links to the US. The FTSE 100 went down 170.7 points today (2.9 per cent) to 5,675.5. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is also down (1.88%) to 11205.61. So a ?P...

Managed to get completely out of debt this year. Down side ? you tend to have loads of loose change all over the place when you back to paying in cash, and there is always the suspicion that many of those who have handled cash have not washed their hands after going to bog (so wash your hands after ...

Garlic smells nice, and as your using it as a mouthwash it only lasts about 20 minutes on your breath (it does not get into your bloodstream). Remember, the French invented French kissing so they could like the garlic off each other?s gums. I don?t think superficial vanity will be a big concern in a...
