"Turn! Turn! Turn!", also known as or subtitled "To Everything There Is a Season", is a song written by Pete Seeger in 1959. The lyrics – except for the title, which is repeated throughout the song, and the final two lines – consist of the first eight verses of the third chapter of the biblical Book of Ecclesiastes. The song was originally released in 1962 as "To Everything There Is a Season" on the folk group the Limeliters' album Folk Matinee, and then some months later on Seeger's own The Bitter and the Sweet.

The song became an international hit in late 1965 when it was adapted by the American folk rock group the Byrds. Personally, I prefer the cover by The Seekers. Judith Durham RIP absolutely nails this song.

Isn't Wikipedia great?

Replying to my own post I said yesterday at 15:59 that i expected a Duster RNS in the morning so they were getting their reorganisation RNS out ahead of it.

Lo and behold I was correct. They knew Turkey was a bust so they did their dirty deeds to stitch everyone up.

Looks like Alladin's lamp has failed to work its magick so they are getting this out there before the SP drops even further. My money is on a duster RNS tomorrow morning.

This is not the bottom of the barrel because the bottom is now completely out of the barrel.

A little bit of upward movement and the resident Swampies become hysterical and go into overdrive. A bit like mentioning Nigel's name to a Remainling.

'Three years ago, London’s biggest taxi company reached a fork in the road.

Regulations announced by Transport for London meant all private hire vehicles registered in the capital would have to meet tougher green emission standards by 2023.

For Addison Lee chief executive Liam Griffin, it meant a choice: invest in plug-in hybrid cars, or “go full electric” and stump up millions for a new fleet of electric cars.

He chose the latter strategy. Griffin ordered 1,000 Volkswagen ID4s as part of a move to “fully embrace” electric vehicles (EVs).

The plan has backfired. Last month, the company was forced to make an about-turn, abandoning its pledge to reach zero emissions by the end of 2023. “We were slightly oversold the dream,” Griffin says.

A similar story is playing out across the entire private hire car sector. Rental companies and taxi operators across the world are backing away from electric cars amid low uptake from drivers and losses caused by plummeting used car prices.'

Add to this the thousands of electric vehicles in the USA immobilised by the current cold snap and Swapy's all-electric dream seems to be a very long way away.

'Battery-powered electric vehicles will only ever capture 30pc of global market share, the chairman of Toyota has predicted, raising concerns about consumers’ willingness to align with net zero goals.

Akio Toyoda said that traditional fuel-burning cars, as well as hybrids and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles would make up the rest of the market.'

Looks like all that gluing their backsides to London bridge has been a was of time LOL.

The following is an extract from an article in the Telegraph. In summary, it says that when it is very cold or very hot and you need energy the most then renewables will always let you down. Swampy probably doesn't want you to know that.

'The situation on the Texas power grid this week is going to be a crucial test not just for the grid’s managers at ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas), but also for natural gas suppliers and generators. As weather conditions continued to evolve and deteriorate across the state, ERCOT has issued a conservation request to business and private customers to be in effect from 6am to 10am CST, a time of peak power demand and low renewable production.

ERCOT’s request blamed the latest failure of the state’s huge wind industry on “unseasonably low wind” conditions, but the reality that the wind tends to die down as temperatures drop is one of the most open secrets in the history of weather. ERCOT officials cannot control weather conditions, obviously, but they can anticipate they will get a lot less wind contribution than their models predict whenever the weather is not ideal. That’s just a given.

Equally obvious is the fact that they will get zero generation from the state’s ballyhooed solar farms when the sun isn’t shining, and ERCOT’s managers should have learned last summer that the battery storage facilities will also fail to deliver much whenever the weather is too hot or, as it is this week, too cold.

The state’s generation mix taken from ERCOT’s app at 7:19am. Monday tells that story pretty clearly. What we see is 0 per cent contribution from solar, 0.8 per cent from power storage, and just 6.8 per cent from wind. Meanwhile, the “fossil fuels” so detested by the state’s legacy media sites were kicking in 84.9 per cent of total generation, with a whopping 67.2 per cent coming from the state’s natural gas industry.'

Ibug seems triggered today or dare I risk it? He she or it seems well and truly 'bugged'

Anyway, I unfiltered them because they seemed to be getting a lot of mentions but that was a futile exercise as they have nothing original to say.

So it is back to the green bin for this waste of space but I might be tempted to have another peek if and when Horse Hill and Turkey are resolved. Should there be some more positives the wailing and moaning will be wonderous to behold.

TURKEY UPDATE: Operator AME today advises earliest Pinarova-1 operational start date of 28-29th December but more likely as soon as first dry weather period after New Year. Further news in due course. #oil #energy

The Swampies appears to be getting very agitated over this. I haven't known them to be this worked up since the early days at Horse Hill. It probably means that news is very close.

If I am to believe that DH has prior knowledge of the RNS from two different companies I would first need to know their source of information. So which is it, Tarot Cards or a Crystal Ball?

I am Spartacus.

Well, I have just put Chippy Boy and his mighty 6 comments into the Green Bin along with the other 36 names in there. Of course, the probability is that some of those names are Chippy's previous aliases so I don't actually have that many people binned. Makes you wonder why they bother. Surely even they can't have lives that make them such sad individuals.

A frequently asked question on this and other BBs is why would anyone make multiple comments about a share they are not invested in. Well, research conducted nine years ago explains who these people are.

According to research conducted in Canada in 2014 Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists.

Trolls will lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response.

They conducted two online studies with over 1,200 people, giving personality tests to each subject along with a survey about their Internet commenting behaviour. They were looking for evidence that linked trolling with the "Dark Tetrad" of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism.

They found that Dark Tetrad scores were highest among people who said trolling was their favourite Internet activity.

So before you respond to them please bear in mind that these trolls are some truly difficult people so the best thing you can do is ignore them.

I think Kat's posts are the perfect length at only one line long. Further, the green tinge of the text matches perfectly with the naive content.

OK, enough is enough. That's both Kat and AMH into the green bin.

You two need to either get a room or get over your hissy fits.

I will check back in a week and see if you have calmed down.

....he answered it to a degree ...

What was the answer?

I only have one person filtered here but I am seeing a lot of green boxes.

That would seem to indicate that they are one very angry person. Analysis of their writing style also indicates that they are in their mid to late teens.

The root cause of anger in people of this age is often caused by and inability to find a partner of their preferred sexual orientation. Perhaps if we could fix them up with a blind date their anger will dissipate.
