- 2 Times Editorials calls for fracking :
- Shale gas is good for the economy. Government should help promote its extraction
- Fracking could transform Scotland's economy
- “Responsible advertisers must boycott climate-sceptic Mail“… The Ecologist-19 Sep 2016
- "England Manager fired cos he revealed he knows tricks to get around the rules and get huge subsidy dosh"
….should be a headline for Solar/Wind industry mafia.

golfCharlie. There was great expectation that the quality of the Norwich pies might improve. Can't say I've noticed. The restaurant has a good reputation, but I've never been. To me, Colchester is as alien as Mars, footballwise.
As to your suggestion, too many cooks and all that. Climate cooking is something we should avoid promoting. Too much of it already.
ACK
ACK, forget the football, how does the half time food compare between Norwich and Colchester? Was Delia Smith as crucial to Norwich, as she has been to cooking in Britain?
I don't know about the catering differences between Sunderland and the England dressing room, but Allardyce seemed to get well bunged up within a couple of months.
If Delia Smith has a bit more free time, could she team up with Jamie Oliver and the British Bake-Off evacuees and do a new TV series on Cooking Climate Science, with Half Baked Alaska, Lancashire Luke-Warm Pot, Reheated Gazpacho Data Soup, and Red Hot Chilly Con Statistics.

My son and grandson have been to see Colchester play about a dozen games. The poor soul has never seen them score a single goal. They seem to be bad omens, when they don't go, Colchester wins or at least scores. Difficult for a 10year old to develop a philosophical attitude.
ACK
ACK & tomo,
M&S need to start heating their stores with organic methane, to see if their customers turn green.

ACK and Sandy S - thank you for the footballing condolences.
As for this, however - "Following your local club teaches you to cherish the successes and be philosophical about the less successful times. Beating SV Hamburg in the UEFA Cup still a happy memory from way back." It's 1973 since my lot won anything, but fortunately I'm old enough to remember it vividly. My 88 year old aunt remembers them winning the league (for the last time) in 1936, and the cup in 1937. Those were the days! Goodness knows why the current generation, who can't even remember 1973, bother with it. The again, goodness knows why I bother!

M&S Organic Methane from named cows just a matter of time then?
tomo
tomo. SSE appear to be pulling out of offshore wind just as fast as they can, so M&S electrons are not as green as they once were. Presumably M&S methane molecules are just SSE molecules tarted up.
ACK

re:Barry Gardiner
check this
Lampooning the calibre of pols in "ministerial" positions keeps a whole satire industry afloat - Gardiner is a spineless twerp.
If Andrew Neil did a bit more renewable 'rithmetic - he'd have some dynamite questions that would reduce quite a lot of idiot pols as scorch marks on the fancy studio chairs - although he's not doing too badly as it stands....
@ACK are you impugning the quality of M&S electrons? tsk....

2 corrections from yesterday
#1 The MP's holding BBC's Lord Hall to account on Brexit : I can't find a 2nd source , and the Sebastion DM story only has 7 lines
#2 Last night's news had a map of our local fracking site and it is the most natural side of the village
It's a square Km on the NW west next to the stray dogs home and across to Ermine Street. Mainly plantation forest, but has Roman ruins under the soil and a part which is Triple SI (no one knows this and the SSSI was bought by a guy from the south 2 years ago, and a close source was unable to tell me why its SSSI..Maybe the oil corp actually owns it ..It doesn't bother me I don't think the fracking needs to touch it, it'll just go under. As I thought the site is actually closer to houses in the north side of Broughton and not so near Wressle village houses. Don't expect traffic would be a problem cos the entire site is surrounded by roads which already get some heavy truck traffic every day. Suppose drilling noise could get thru the forest to house gardens.
BTW fence sitting from the Express Labour 'MADNESS': Party under fire for plans to BAN fracking if it wins power
