No point, he ain't listening.

Do you consider the Scottish Cup more significant than The Championship? The BBC do.

Lots and lots of reading and research? The article you linked even labelled it ‘the forgotten methane source,’ and ‘a surprising discovery,’ so it’s not exactly common knowledge. The article also states that it’s living plants that pump out all the methane. So unless you’re telling me that everyone is completely wrong about plants and trees, and they’re in fact more detrimental to the atmosphere than cleansing, I’m right in saying that a plants methane production nowhere near closes the emissions gap between plants and animals.

I don’t really have any strong prejudices. I only started really becoming invested in veganism a few months ago, and am still open minded about learning more about the concept, and arguments for and against.

People who want to make the world a "better place to live" when they actually just want to make it how they want it to be.

Pointless Celebrities

My weight has always fluctuated by quite a bit. So why when I bump into an ex, and I'm carrying a few extra pounds, is it o.k. for her to make fat jokes. But when I point out that she has gone from an 8/10 to looking like a weathered walnut, I'm a bad person.

:D

:moo2:If you add the higher level of projected methane in that report to the estimated methane release from paddy fields then it’s way above that from the beef and dairy industry.

If you take the lowest level of projected methane in that report and add it to the methane released by growing rice then it equates to roughly the same as that produced by the beef & dairy industry.

Yet you are confident in your assumption that it doesn’t equate.

I’ve no beef in this discussion, but I do wonder why important scientific stuff gets ignored because it doesn’t fit the social norm.

Wanker would more appropriate for you but I guess c*nt suits you even more. :jerkit:

I’m not ignoring anything, you’re either missing my point or I didn’t explain it well enough. ‘Emissions’ doesn’t just mean methane. I believe methane only accounts for about 10% of greenhouse gas emissions. Obviously the vast majority is carbon dioxide, there’s a bit of nitrous oxide and a few other fairly insignificant ones like hydrofluorocarbons.

A plant may very well emit lots of methane, but take into account the huge carbon dioxide emissions from the meat industry, the fact that plants take in CO2, and the fact that plants require far less deforestation in the first place to create room for farmland, and ‘a plants methane production nowhere near closes the emissions gap between plants and animals.’

Good work.

Excuse me, but I only got involved when you stated that veg “obviously doesn’t produce methane” which I pointed out was untrue and provided my source.

You then stated your belief that, despite this inconvenient fact, it wouldn’t compensate for the beef/dairy methane emissions and offered absolutely no sources to back up your assertion.

I’m not missing your point, we were talking about methane. :D

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but if you weren’t aware of that paper, then maybe your research technique needs fine tuning. It caused a right stir at the time.

Still a simple truth in what CP-RJW was saying. Fossil fuels and Dairy when added to the environmental damage they cause is a problem. Reducing meat intake is better for health and helps reduce their effects. The palm oil industry was created to reduce costs previously more expensive oils were used in all sorts of things that have now been replace by this monster. It’s our choice and as long as we have had a little look at it and made a choice, meat/no meat palm oil/no palm oil etc then that’s all you can ask.

No. I said ‘emissions’. The common, general term for greenhouse gas emissions. If I meant methane emissions, I would’ve said ‘methane emissions.’ Do I have to provide sources for such basic concept like photosynthesis that we all learn when we are 10?

With all due respect, you’re a guy I don’t know on a message board. Just because you mention methane doesn’t mean it is the only topic at hand. I acknowledged that I wasn’t aware of the fact you brought up, and then made another point relating the wider topic of veg vs meat environmental impact being discussed on this thread.

Considering that this is the post you originally replied to, albeit only picking out the incorrect methane part, I think it’s pretty reasonable that I attempted to bring the discussion back to meat vs plants general emissions.

It didn’t cause a stir. No one else cared, even the anti Vegan brigade who I’m sure are very keen to expose any flaw in the ideology or what it’s proponents state about it. You are trying to cause a stir.

So why would someone looking to convert people stop preaching here when people like you haven’t been converted?

And colon-cancery.

Yes! Definitely. Nightmare over here during the school holidays.

Fully support the pub restaurant which banned a family of screaming children

Why can't people just be straight or LGBT? WTF is all this "sapiosexual" and "non-binary" ballshit?

How rude of you! I'm sapiosexual don't you know?

I'm not sure you will be turned on by too many on the BBS!

I got the LGBT thing then they stuck a Q on the end.


It's like Labour's stance on Brexit - f*ck knows what it means.

A new train announcement, among the never-ending stream, saying ‘please listen to announcements’

Renewing my passport now involves going to a local agent (appointed by HMG), submitting all required paperwork, and it then being sent off to Liverpool for processing.

3 weeks has past, money has been taken from my credit card, and then I receive an email from HM Passport Office in Liverpool to say the photos were not included. Well I know they were because I have a receipt from their local agent. Can't reply to their email, so means me going back to the agent and giving them more photos to send to Liverpool.

So much for this new system, which I have to pay more for. Bloody annoying.

The phrase : ‘let that sink in’

Unnecessary phrase as if what was said was a revelation, you wouldn’t have to attempt to draw a line under it. It just comes across as look at me, look what I noticed.

A cringe reaction rather than annoyance when I read it.

I find a cheeky headbutt to be the correct response in these situations.

I’m in the process of buying a new TV and said to my wife “I’m thinking of an LG TV”.

I had to explain the difference between OLED and LCD....

Only ever seen it written mainly on the bbs. I dont know how I would react if someone said it in person.

How do you wank ?

Airlines pushing up the price of flights in the wake of Thomas Cook going bust. Pure opportunism.

Whomever invented that should be shot.

People who use "whomever".

Just been looking at the cost of booking another holiday similar to the one we had with TC for the same dates and the prices are double.

Now it says on the villa company's website that they are taking over the bookings but we shall see.

Perfectly good word. Accusative and dative case of "whoever".

maybe that represents a truer price, and helps explain TC’s long-term issues?

The number of people I walked past in Victoria today with insufferable BO. How can you not realise you smell that bad? Or not care you smell so bad? Disgusting.

Builders/contractors that don't show up when they say they will...

Really pisses me off when you agree on an hour window, and they are a no show with no text.

Come the revolution...

Nope. The price we paid to TC was similar to the one on the villa company's own website at the time. We only used TC because someone gave us a voucher.

"Whomever" is frequently used incorrectly by people who want to sound poncy but don't know the difference between the object and the subject of a clause. More often, of course, whoever is used instead of whomever; English speakers don't get on with inflected wordforms.

Whommmshhhh

OK, you have my permission to work a four day week, I'll just deduct 20% from your salary :p

Love the spelling mistake in your last sentence ;)

Interviewees, usually footballers or managers, who (or is it “Whom”?) begin their reply with “yeah, no”. Make your mind up!

Having to update/change passwords for apps, and having to go through hoops to get it done.

I wouldn't mind if it was for my bank or a financial institution (who don't seem to be too concerned), but for hotels or hardware stores or the like who seem to get off on doing this every time I go into their app. I assume it is the lack of activity on my part that drives this.

Being on a diet. No alcohol is very dull, plus I have just seriously contemplated a large spoonful of crunchy peanut butter straight from the jar.

The longer you stay off the booze, the cheaper it will be to get spannered in the long run. Your tolerance will be obliterated :)

Thanks for the positive. :lux:

Is that a bad thing? I do it nearly every day with a spoonful of strawberry jam thrown in there.

Might explain my high sugar count!

This concerns me.

Ive given up drinking, the only time Im going back is my Stag, which will be 7 months dry until being obliterated with alcohol. Sounds like I will be on the floor after one pint.

You might manage three or four pints but after that you will have tried to cop off with a middle-aged woman who you think has fallen in love with you, offered to fight her partner even though you've been told he's a Karate instructor and then finally, after telling everyone in your chosen drinking establishment that you love them all, you'll fall over and slumber into unconsciousness while you piss yourself as you had forgotten to go to the toilet.


Stay training. You know it makes sense. :p

there sending a lot back

You better get used to it, they have been doing it for 40 years to my knowledge, and it doesn't matter how you try to change the company, its still the same

Quite happily typing away a nice long diatribe against Prince Harry not being able to get out of bed and then realising I'd started with a non-capital and most of the piece was in capitals. I used to know a way to reverse this but, like so much of my memory, it has gone into my brains version of the Bermuda Triangle.

I believe they call this the Lampard paradox

Windows, I have to use Windows 10 for one application for an online course, what an absolutely useless crock of shite, it must be a productivity killer for anyone who has to use this abomination for work. Back to Linux Mint to get real work done.

So you didn’t look up once at the screen during the whole time ? Apart from the end, that is.

What are you struggling with ?

Try classic shell. Makes it look more like Windows 7

100% agree. One of my pet hates.
Along with people who mix up "bought" and "brought".

I'm probably an extreme example. I've been pretty much alcohol free since my mid-20's. I probably drink about 2 or 3 beers a year, usually after a long walk in the Mountains on a hot day. I feel the effects almost instantly. I wouldn't drive after one pint. You'll probably get to three pints before whipping out your little boy in the middle of a packed bar. Good luck.

Absolutely the worst situation to break a long abstinance.

Pedantic, I know, but when people write 'on route' instead of 'en route'.

Yep, classic shell helped me find the ******* off button!

Mrs came back from work and said they'd "upgraded" her PC to Wankers 10. I said that wasn't an up grade but a downgrade. What was the upgrade path from Wankers 7? "Linux", quoth I.

I've got a couple of applications I need to use Wankers 10 for and it does my tits in.

Love it. Get an upgrade to the later version and then because it's such shite you have to get an emulator for the older version to run on top of it.

That's great. I can't give you rep. If I could I definitely would :p :)

And people who also say I should OF. Learn to speak English properly

They do it on linked in as well

Nope, I've been pretty much alcohol free also since 2011 don't regreat it one bit.

Had two pints in that time, one with my late father in law on Christmas day (my birthday)down the pub around 2014 and that knocked me then the other on Christmas day down the same pub the year he died.

I’m the same.

People still calling the Premier League the Premiership......how many years!

Might be spellcheck but defiantly instead of definitely. Get in the bin.
