Might use a better re- mix. The Tune she 'penned for this Event think is painful. She can do better. Bentley the C2 ICB.

I hope the event does some good and create more awareness about the environment, etc. But Im as cynical as the next person. Its all very well us recycling but apparently all our rubbish just gets shipped to landfill sites in China (cos its cheaper than to actually recycle it!).

We can all do our bit and that but unless the big pollutors (ie China and US) start tackling the problem then its a lost cause. And China aint gonna be worried with such distractions in its quest to be a super industralised power.

I did watch most of the event and thought it was pretty entertaining. There were some bad timings with the links to other cities performers but there was the option to stick with London by using the interactive option.

Also, not sure Jonathan Ross was best choice as anchorman. As much as he can amuse me, he just seemed to treat the whole event too light heartedly and didnt really have much conviction about the whole thing.

Missed it...Thankfully

me n all.

once i seen Wossy with that Wussel Brand bloke, i thought, I can't sit thru this.

garbage.

I had the TV on in the background while I was pottering about. The best bit for me was when they interviewed Jack Osbourne and he said he doesn't recycle, he can't see the point!

Ok.Allow me to go through the most importannt bits for you. Madge (who has a carbon footprint the size of Denmark)Wants to remind you to switch off the lights before you fuck of down the pub for the evening.Easy realy!

Thankfully The Pussycat Dolls were also on hand to tell us that they no longer use as much hairspray as they used to,oh and one of them was thinking of one day buying an electric car.

So,now we can all sleep a little more easy tonight knowing that Madge,The Foo Fighters and The Pussycat Dolls and lots of other pop stars are helping as we speak to save the planet.

First paragraph sums what it's all about, really, I will sleep a bit easier tonight knowing that info.

About the only thing I saw that I recognized was Metallica.

Has anyone considered the effects of STOPPING global warming on species such as mosquito's who will THRIVE due to it. Oh, but we;re SO MUCH more important.

MOzzers are the deadliest animal on the planet.

I'm mosquito-eaten thru. But on the other hand they just buzz and give you goosebumps, not much else. Now viruses that live inside people are more dangerous.

That's messed up, dude, on so many levels...

No, really, they reckon that well over half the humans who have ever lived have died at the gobs of disease ridden mozzies.

And as for viri, they just prove what cunts enviro animal huggers are....... Whales, ooooh they can spit out of their heads, let's save them. Pandas, ooooh they're all furry, let's save them. Smallpox, ARRRGHHH GENOCIDE! wipe it out wipe it out wipe it out.

Humans really are scum, don;t you think smallpox loves it;s mummy like every other living thing. And before anyone starts with the "smallpox kills us" crap, it aint just smallpox that's being exterminated.

The only realy lifeform on the planet Earth (Sol3) is dioxyribonucleic acid (and the lower life based on simple ribnonucleitides), DNA doesn't give a fuck which of it's "contstructions" (after all, a human, dog, or virus can be thought of as being to DNA what an aircracft carrier or office block is to humanity) succeed in making IT survive, and presumably spread off this minute little stone in the arse end of the galaxy.

One other thing I may mention again...... If humans are the cause of global warming, why is Mars getting hotter by the roughly same amount?

So you reckon we are the parasites and we infect the planet Earth and in a distant future the entire universe?

Or maybe it has SOMETHING to do with the sun getting hotter?

I could use a bit of global warming now. We are having the coldest and wettest winter in ages.

Same here! Funny there's no glbal warming stories on the news these days. LOL

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere else here, but I didn't look extremely thoroughly, I saw Spotnick's Madonna question in the Telegraph. *smile*

I adore people like Leonardo Di Caprio who care about the inviroment but I find myself strangely indifferent to this issue. Maybe as I'll grow older?

are you sure you'd want to be using the word "adore" in this context?

Leo taught me to use halogen bulbs with mercury instead of regular bulbs for my wall lamps - it's more expensive to buy but it saves more money on electricity and as a result benefits for the enviroment.

yeh yeh. Just replace the broken bulbs, otherwise the energy spent in producing them will have been wasted.

of course he inverted that didn't he. ;) we soon won't be able to buy an old-fashioned incandescent light bulb in this country. the power companies are giving away free packs of energy savers.

There's no question CFL's are superior bulbs, less power, longer life, and a more pleasing spectrum than standard tungsten alloy incandescents, if you make an effort you can get some with an almost natural daylight quality. All the examples I own have circuitry to make them oscillate faster than the standard mains 50Hz, so they don't drive you mental. The downside is that the largest I can find with a standard bayonet fitting is 20W...apprx=100W, 30 or 40 would be great, and not only cheaper, but less ruddy bother than a 150 or 200W Incandescent.

And as for Mercury vapour discharge lamps...yer fuckin kidding right? I doubt they come in less than 200W, and they have chuffing mercury in 'em (OK milligrammes of it, but still).
