just caught the video of the above transcript.

B&D, don't start on that nonsense. Wind turbines are pretty decent, and can be cost efficient. Also, on "paying for themselves", nuclear requires massive government subsidies too. Energy is just expensive (as I'm sure you're reminded every time you fill up that lovely motor of yours).

Don't forget this recent development -

Why not have everyone making their own logs at home out of old paper and cardboard? That's my plan once we have a multi fuel at home.

Cool, perhaps my other kids can just starve to death, two less non Ad-Lib/Tory voters for them to worry about.

I have one of those. The briquettes produced are shit. They take loads of effort to make, dry, even to start burning. And they produce loads of ash.

"And then... there's a vicious scoot floating around, that I think could really hurt Mitt Romney. I heard he passed universal healthcare when he was Governor of Massetechuesuesusus, [laughter], someone should get to the bottom of that. And I know just the guy to do it... Donald Trump. [big cheer] is here tonight. Now I know that he's taken some flak lately but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate issue to rest than The Donald and that's because he can finally get back to the issues that matter. Like... 'did we fake the moon landing?', 'what really happened at Roswell?', and 'where are biggie and tupac?'."

On Radio 4's From Our Own Correspondent just now Cycling in Berlin. Sounds good.
Woe betide pedestrians who venture onto a bike path. Trains welcome bikes. Tolerance of cyclists. Pros and cons of helmet legislation.

there's a viscous rumour

Viscous you say? A thick, sticky rumour that is between a solid and a liquid?

Scoot I heard you rep people that mention pokemon, so :

Good effort, but it's got the shitty new ones in it. No rep for you.

Also, Mitt Romney tells 533 lies in 30 days

Cool, perhaps my other kids can just starve to death, two less non Ad-Lib/Tory voters for them to worry about.
No money for food, too many children?

A child of 6 will feed a family of 4 for 8 days.

Good effort, but it's got the shitty new ones in it. No rep for you.

Probably going to regret asking this, but why are the new ones shitty?

OBVIOUSLY i wouldn't *really

Too mainstream. Scoot was into Pokemon long before they were cool.

Probably going to regret asking this, but why are the new ones shitty?

The beauty of the original Pokemon is that many were inspired by real animals and well-known mythological creatures, with names that made sense, for example Rattata is a rat-like creature, Ekans is snake spelt backwards and looks like a snake, Haunter is a ghost pokemon and looks like a ghost, Koffing is the manifestation of the concept of pollution. This makes them easy to relate to, especially to children, because they recognise the origins of the creatures from real life and therefore the game becomes more real to them. Within the framework of pokemon bearing close resemblance to real animals, slowly the more fantastical pokemon such as Jigglypuff and Abra can be introduced into the environment incrementally, which enhances the magic of the Pokemon world, but the idea of still being in a somewhat plausible real world has to always be underpinned by simple and recognisable creatures with visual characteristics clearly defining their type.

My problem with the new sets is that there is barely any connection with the real world either in appearance or name. There are some, but the ratio is skewed far in favour of totally weird random creatures with no obvious type and no easy way to remember them. In my opinion this undermines the game's ethos in portraying a reality where Pokemon are just everyday creatures.

So there.

Oh.

Okay then.
