Hate that too. It's worse when they don't wish to be saved.


I hear that. Although in my experience the person in question actually did save themselves when they decided that they wanted too. But until that point, there was no helping them.

Unless you're talking about a situation like the start of cliffhanger, which is totally different...

Yeah, this morning for example on my way to work the train driver asked the passengers on the train to try and clear the area around the door so that people could get off. Of course, nobody did. At the next station the platform was on the opposite side so the opposite doors opened. As the train approached the station the driver said 'ok ladies and gentlemen, seeing as the people on the left of the train are inconsidertae and miserable, let's see if the people on the right are any better, and just to make it interesting how about saying excuse me and thank you'. I was laughing to myself about it, but everyone else just looked glum and miserable and didn't find it at all funny. When we reached the next station the platform again switched sides and the driver said 'ok guys on the right, I we know you're selfish and incosiderate, but how about giving it a go and making way for the people getting off the train, go on, do a good deed, you might like it' Hilarious. I must admit I've never heard a driver swear though. I have heard an announcemnt that said 'would the bloody idiot who is moving between carriages while the train is moving please stop, or do us all a favour and hurry up and fall under the train'

I was hoping someone would contradict me with optimistic words, but alas...

Gas here is still roughly 95p a litre, which works out at just under 7 dollars a gallon. The government is refusing to budge on fuel tax. Wankers. Once again I find myself yearning for a cheap, clean, renewable energy source, but I think instead I'll just kill myself. Is anyone able to offer words of comfort to Ric and I, or do you all agree that trying to change the world is a futile, thankless task best left to fictional action heroes?

I cycle when I can (i.e short cross town journeys), regularly harrass my local politician and e-mail the prime minister and sometimes I post flyers (leaving them under the wipers of huge 4x4s is a favourite) for greenpeace but, despite what Ghandi and any other idealist (myself included) says, I am close to concluding that one man can't make a difference in this world. Well, not really anyway. I was actually thinking about this recently because it's the 25th anniversary of John Lennon's murder in december. 25 years after his attempts to use his fame for a greater good, is the world actually any better? Sadly no. People may be a little more aware but that's it. The same can be said for most people's attempts to make a change. Can I make a change, in this fuel issue or any other issue? Even if I become a politician, even if I became president, with all the red tape and ulterior motives and secret meetings in smoke filled rooms, not to mention the apathy of the majority of the population, could I make a difference? Can anyone?

94.9 pence a litre.
One Pound a litre petrol is nearly here...

On a side note, I only noticed recently that the parking meters on my street are solar powered.

How about if we build huge solar panels in the sky, above the clouds, that rotate so they are always facing the sun, and the electricity is pumped down to earth via huge cables?

That started out as a joke comment but the more I think about it....
