Lets All Hug A Tree and Useless Info

Many Find Price of Going Green Too High, geez, you don't say!!! Who doesn't know that conforming to that brigade of Greenies costs an arm and a leg? It makes me laugh when I see the extreme Greenies, wrapping themselves around tree trunks and generally cryng out the evil of oil/petrol. Ever notice how they arrive at their destination? Not on push bikes that's for sure. Nope, usually their usual transport - a gas-guzzling combi van (SUV) spewing smoke. To me, if a person is so dedicated to a cause he/she should adhere to their principles' on all occasions and walk the walk. Believe me, I have never witnessed them walking to a protest; maybe in England it is different, but I doubt it. Guaranteed, the ones that do walk, are the ones living in cities, buying their organic foods from the local store. I am laughing here imagining these city dwellers in paddocks collecting cow, horse or chicken manure , or grinding blood and bone mixtures for their gardens.

A poll of 1,000 adults revealed that almost half believed green products were too expensive, while almost as many said being green was too time-consuming.

Insurer Brings Home Subsidence Risk to Tree-Lovers. Although our country is basically unspoilt compared to many others, we have the tendancy to overplant our sections, which in many instances, as the years pass, damages the water lines, house foundations, sewerage lines etc, from the root systems of trees. And the worse thing it is not usually your own trees that are the culprits but the ones the neighbour has planted for privacy along the boundary line. However, to take the advice of this article you would have to have a home on a very substantial piece of property to adhere to their guidelines, I have no idea why they just don't stipulate, sorry after 2005, if you have planted these types of trees and damage occurs, we will not pay.

Garden-lovers are putting their homes at risk from subsidence by planting trees too close to their property, an insurer warned today.

One in five homeowners has either had a property that has suffered from subsidence or knows someone who has, with half of people having to pay more than £30,000 to fix the problem.

Bad Knee Ends Career of Spain's Only British Matador. I for one, have never understood this practice, let alone viewed it as a sport, so all I can say - he came out with a sore knee and the bulls died for a bit of bloodsport.

In the end, it was not a half-ton of snorting animal fury that has finished the career of Spain’s lone British bullfighter, or even his age.

After decades as a cultural oddity, a tireless quest for respect and duels with hundreds of horned beasts, Frank Evans, 62, has succumbed to a bum knee.

Zimbabwe farmer hint wins support, my favourite humanitarian, Mugabe, thinks that the land should be utilised and cultivated, dahhhh. Looks like all of his years as ruler equate to failure. He wanted the whites out, now needs whites back to make the land productive. Wow, he has learnt nothing from being in the UN, like how to educate, motivate and industrialise his people.; oh, I forgot he did learn their best lesson, how to rip off money from the rich and screw the poor.

White farmers still in Zimbabwe have welcomed a suggestion by the central bank chief that some white farmers who have left should be allowed back.
