WS Churchill's Words of Warning:
"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves".
Too True
"That such an unnecessary and irrational project as building a European superstate was ever embarked upon will seem in future years to be perhaps the greatest folly of the modern era.”
Margaret Thatcher Statecraft (Published 2002)

(Interim) Last Word on the Subject
Stated briefly, I will simply try to clarify what the debate over climate change is really about. It most certainly is not about whether climate is changing: it always is. It is not about whether CO2 is increasing: it clearly is. It is not about whether the increase in CO2, by itself, will lead to some warming: it should. The debate is simply over the matter of how much warming the increase in CO2 can lead to, and the connection of such warming to the innumerable claimed catastrophes. The evidence is that the increase in CO2 will lead to very little warming, and that the connection of this minimal warming (or even significant warming) to the purported catastrophes is also minimal. The arguments on which the catastrophic claims are made are extremely weak – and commonly acknowledged as such. They are sometimes overtly dishonest.

i'm just a bit afraid of the "bursting into flames" thing to go on xmas...
have a good one for you and yours though...bring an extinguisher!
Thought this seemed all a little tame from the normally astringent idle, then had another little look at the stained window (fnar fnar). Which reminds me, must ask the Tuscana to wipe down Harpo, Chicco and Gummo when they get back from choir practice.
I take it the card arrived, Tuscan.
Indeed it has, this morning in fact, for which many thanks. I presume the seasonal £ 5 Amazon voucher that you would naturally have enclosed with it was lost at some point this end during the frantic card-opening ceremony that passes for breakfast in this season of goodwill, idle.
It was an all-you-can-eat family voucher for the Harvester Inn just off the Autostrada, since you ask.
Good job you lost it.
Happy Christmas to you too.
Do you remember the post I did on Hatfield Girl ? The Christmas feast meaning we should push the boat out ?
Well Mrs E-K read it.
I'm now the proud owner of one £60 free-range goose. (Ouch !)
Idle you are a very bad man! Three hail Mary's is your penance. Have a good Christmas and keep up the good work.
I hope you have a lovely time Iders. Do call in on your way by if you have a window :-)
Is that Gordo or Mandy's card for this year?
Happy Crimbo to you and yours Iders - and don't do anything I wouldn't enjoy...
PS, sent a copy of the picture to my other bro' - he's a priest.
Couldn't see anything unusual about it.
Ha ha ha!
Hangover/flu cure all over the Chippendale...
And the small pic at the bottom has the caption: -
"Now boys, not a word to anyone eh..."
I've got flu.
Of course ... I don't have another brother. Just a joke.
Happy Christmas to you and yours, Idle.
Thanks for all the laughs.
E-K
Hello Idle: You are naughty but I do like you! That made me laugh.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a Peaceful and Prosperous New Year.
