Shale gas. The way ahead?

Yes I think it is. Certainly we should be researching extraction methods to obtain it. It would obviate our reliance on those volatile Middle Eastern countries.

The world may have twice as much natural gas than previously thought, according to the rich nations' think tank the International Energy Agency (IEA).

The world may have 250 years of gas usage at current levels thanks to "unconventional gas" from shale and coal beds, Anne-Sophie Corbeau, senior gas expert at the IEA told BBC News.

And of course you don’t hear a peep about it from our governing class. All they can think of is impoverishing us further with their total obsession with Bird Mincers and solar panels.

Shale gas from Lancashire and other parts of Britain could contribute between five to 10 per cent of the country's gas needs.

Just something to listen to while you’re making a cup of coffee.

Is Sex pleasure or work?

An RAF Group Captain was about to start the morning briefing to his staff. While waiting for the coffee machine to finish its brewing, the Group Captain decided to pose a question to all assembled.
He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep. He posed the question of just how much of sex was "work" and how much of it was "pleasure?"

A Wing Commander chimed in with 75-25% in favour of work.

A Squadron Leader said it was 50-50%.

A Flight Lieutenant responded with 25-75% in favour of pleasure, depending upon his state of inebriation at the time.

There being no consensus, the Group Captain turned to the Corporal who was in charge of making the coffee. What was his opinion?

Without any hesitation, the young Corporal responded, "Sir, it has to be 100% pleasure."
The Group Captain was surprised and, as you might guess, asked why?

"Well, sir, if there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing it for them."

Johnny Ball. Why he thinks AGW is a false premise.

Johnny Ball speaks out on how the kids of today are being frightened to death about Global warming. It’s interesting that all transport Secretary Philip Hammond and Alastair Darling can do is repeat the same all tripe that has been fed to them by the Green Lobby. I have a feeling that Brillo is more on his side than the AGW position.

Just to remind some of the doom mongers out there. Just watch the vid below. We are nowhere near peak oil, or anything approaching it.

Does that explain it in simple enough terms?

But this made me laugh Even more>

David Cameron threatened Colonel Gaddafi with military action last night, promising a no-fly zone.

Dave. Have you forgotten? You’ve just got rid of our aircraft carriers, and the harriers that fly from them. You dozy twat.

Children of Allah

Will these spread into the middle east vacuum?

I fear they will. However our government will be on the back foot as always and be too late to have any influence in the failed states. Expect more bombs in the UK. In future, iDave,  don’t be too quick to scrap our aircraft carriers and the harriers that fly from them.

Thanks for your efforts. It’s what keeps me blogging , knowing that someone actually reads the drivel that I write.

You are the true superstars.
