They can't help themselves can they. The first line of a BBC article on Freediving;

Sounds like we are all going to have to learn how to hold our breath for longer.
Well, that article was written in January 2011, and we haven't 'With sea levels rising, can humans adapt to a more watery world?'

On the matter of the BBC, a while ago who could have imagined that they would put this out.
Radio 4 What's the point of... The Met Office?
Presented by Quentin Letts, poor old Mystic Met got a bit of a pasting. Must confess to a
or two.

Ever since we moved to where we are now, we have been plagued with cold calls. the people how had the house before were very old, so it seems likely they were a perfect target for cold calls.
I had yet another today (despite asking to be removed from the call list, and my name is not Mrs Margrets!). This time, when I told the parasite that I wasn't Mrs Margrets, she still went into full sales mode, talking about government subsidised 'Green Initiatives', and 'how they could help me'!
I told her that it was taxpayer subsidised snake oil, and the caller ought to be ashamed of herself and the company she works for, clearly targeting and constantly cold calling the elderly, and asked why she couldn't find a more productive method of employment instead of peddling snake oil to the most vulnerable. She answered back saying why don't I, sat on my arse at home all day, obviously thinking I am unemployed (I work from home, and work hard, as my corp tax bill is the largest I have had thus far...)
I lost it, said some things I shouldn't really have, and slammed the phone down.
Just wanted to get that off my chest - she managed to completely break my concentration whilst working, just in an attempt to rip me off with some 'Green Crap', thinking I was some vulnerable 80 odd year old lady!

WIBBLE
After a 3 month fight to get the BBC to display accurate graphics about Pam - which is pointless now, as no one will be reading such an old story and everyone that was informed at the time will still believe it was an unprecedented record breaker, instead of perfectly normal.......
The BBC was still at it on the radio this morning speaking to someone from Thailand about Soudelor, unfortunately this person had all the figures to hand and responded to the usual "This is the strongest typhoon ever leading rhetoric" with "no, it was only 175km/h at landfall and very average". The presenter's dejection was palpable!

The cause, they think, is faulty solar panel wiring.

Follow the money?
The hoax that costs $4bn per day
"The global climate change industry is worth an annual $1.5 trillion"
"The equivalent of $4 billion a day spent on vital stuff like carbon trading, biofuels, wind turbines."
"Jo Nova notes it’s the same amount the world spends every year on online shopping."

Not the first time as I recall.
There was a similar event in the Wiltshire ? I think a year or so back.
If I were the occupier of the semi without the panels I would be absolutely furious.
