Fuck off…
Posted on | March 28, 2008 | 38 Comments
…after reading this I’m going out to buy the cheapest, most inefficient, energy burning 100w bulbs I can buy and turn every light in my house on.
I might even get one of those motion sensor lights that people have at their front doors so when someone comes up the path it lights up. I’ll then pay a tramp €20 to walk backwards and forwards ensuring it stays on all night long.

what a bunch of fucking idiots.The Four Seasons uses twice as much energy as any other place cooking up the shite that they serve. I bet they wont be turning off their VISA machine when it comes time to pay….

How about plugging Bertie into a light socket at the tribunal and see how long before the rat comes clean ?

Congratulations, I’ll bet the companies making the candles and the delivery trucks are running on fucking biofuels or solar power…

Bunch of eco wacko’s. Just as bad as the Israeli environmentalists who asked people
to light oneless candle during Hanukkah to “help save the environment”:

they’re trying to do the same thing over here, across the entire united states. except they’ve made it very clear that you can leave your television on.
last i heard, a tv uses as much energy as 25 light bulbs, but i could be wrong.

Ahh don’t be a cunt Twenty.
Oh, wait..
March 28th, 2008 @ 5:47 pm
Where was Twenty when the lights went out
In the dark….
serves the cunt right I would say

Don’t use incandescent bulbs, don’t wear furs, don’t smoke or drink booze or beer, don’t breath heavily and reuse condoms. When the fuck will it all end. Fuck the greenie shits.

Oh for fuck’s sake. It’s symbolic, it’s not necessarily meant to be a power saving excercise.
The point about the hotel’s hypocrisy is well made, but how is doing this a problem?
Why should criticism of this act have to result in power wastage? Why not do something positive that you consider credible istead?
What is wrong with men that they respond like this? Jesus.

Your absolutely spot on Twenty, this light-saving stunt is just a load of shite. Had an email from someone in work, who reminded us to “enjoy” (yes enjoy!) participating this this event …
Are light bulbs damaging the fucking planet like, oh, let’s say oil pollution, is it as bad as all the plastic flotsam that is killing dolphins at Midway Island (it was on the Beeb this AM so it must be true)? No.
No dolphin ever died of the pollution from a light bulb (tho’ we could test that out… kidnap dolphin to Craggy island and torture it with light… like waterboarding only with light as there’s no point waterboarding dolphins! I know!)
This “light thing” is another reason why those Green Party feckers should bugger off to North Korea… this is all a ruse to get people to buy those fancy eco light bulb that cost a fortune by comparison, but that are filled with toxic chemicals (green lobby doesn’t mention that one!)

If they’re going to save all that power by not using lightbulbs it means there’s extra capacity which means all the power I use isn’t wastage. It just means there’s less saved.

Why ?
March 28th, 2008 @ 7:09 pm
Why what?

Sorry Twenty just skimmed through the post am on my way our to get those floodlight thingamys deer hunters place on the top of their trucks so I can see where the F**k I’m going in Galway tomorrow evening…what were you saing…?
March 28th, 2008 @ 7:42 pm
Pointless asking Twenty anything this time of a Friday – he’ll be round having a rmantic candle-lit pint or two at Ron’s place.
March 28th, 2008 @ 7:48 pm
In fairness Maggot, I always assumed that Twenty did everthing by candlelight…
March 28th, 2008 @ 7:48 pm
Maggot I refer you to 13. He did answer. He answered “why what?” I should have thought that as I was commenting on his post it was fucking obvious.
March 28th, 2008 @ 7:48 pm
Apologies for the typo’s…
March 28th, 2008 @ 7:49 pm
Maggot was commenting to me.
March 28th, 2008 @ 8:00 pm
Whoops. My apologies Little S.
March 28th, 2008 @ 9:16 pm
Apologies for your typo’s what?, Little Sapling.

I wonder how much energy it would take to burn that fucking monstrosity to the ground? I’ve got some firelighters and peat if someone else will bring the coal.
March 28th, 2008 @ 9:42 pm
I wonder how many pints he’s necked by now ?
March 28th, 2008 @ 9:46 pm
I forgot that we’ve got that happening here tonight. A-breaking-in-to-houses-and-stealing-stuff I shall go.
March 28th, 2008 @ 9:59 pm
He doesn’t really smoke. What makes you think he really drinks?
March 28th, 2008 @ 11:09 pm
Don’t start me, please. Promotion in the supermarket last week. Buy five super-duper low-energy light bulbs for just a couple of quid. We fell for it. Tonight installed one 60W super-duper low-energy light bulb in the kitchen. Turned it on. Tomorrow morning when we can find the kitchen again in natural light that fucker is out of here, along with its four mates. Bastards.

“The first Earth Hour took place in Sydney last year with more than two million people taking part…”
That’s a crock o’ shite.
They have no way of telling how many people took part. The press reported that it was “up to 2.2 million people”. Which just means somewhere between zero and 2.2 million.
So probably just one.
This article sheds more light on the subject:

Symbolic? More like some bollocks.
March 29th, 2008 @ 11:45 am
Is bono taking part?
March 29th, 2008 @ 2:17 pm
I’m not turning my lights off until they put out the mouth of hell.

I’m all in favour of candle lit dinners, helps me no end with my ‘Rohynol’ survey.
March 30th, 2008 @ 2:43 am
Is it OK to leave the light on in the jacks or do I have to poo in the dark to demonstrate my willingness to help “save the earth?
March 30th, 2008 @ 6:42 am
We had a similar thing here in Christchurch yesterday. It was on the news and they ADMITTED that it doesn’t make any appreciable difference to the fucking environment but that it’s a “gesture” and it’s supposed to promote awareness of the problem!!!??? How fucking anencephalic is that? Why the cunting fuck don’t they try to promote awareness of,say, things that DO make an appreciable difference, like, oh I dunno, EFFICIENT AFFORDABLE PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMS NOT RUN ON FOSSIL FUELS so we don’t all have to drive the SUV in to work, pay an arm and a leg to park the fucker and drive it home again in gridlock. Stupid people and the stupid media and the stupid green wankers and stupidity make me so fucking mad….I think I’ll go turn on all the lights

We will have a big deal made out of them saving 500 hundred euros worth of electricity by turning off 10,ooo bulbs that the council leave on all the time. Problem is the overtime bill for all the council staff to oversee this switching off and switching back on an hour later of a Saturday evening will be about a hundred grand. (my figures are rigorously researched)
March 31st, 2008 @ 5:06 pm
Those energy-efficent bulbs contain mercury, a neurotoxin…..big bill to pay for the clean-up if they accidentally get smashed. Con Edison is raising our electricity rates by 17% as of 1st April. I may just switch to candles and be done with it and refer my husband’s complaints to Kevin Burke, their CEO.
