ive read in a couple of my hubbys science mag, that a lot of the global warming propaganda machine is about raising taxes. and little to do with the environment. i have read that a lot of scientists say that the earth has always been warming, and that there is little or nothing we can do about it. now im not agreeing with these veiws, and i do re cycle and have bought a l.p.g car because it is a lot cheaper, and cleaner to run than petrol or diesel. but a lot of people are now running their diesel cars on cooking oil. and as a biker i can tell you for a fact, that these cars spew out a lot of smoke, choking black dirty smoke, this cant be doing the environment any good. and before long the chancellor will slap a massive tax on cooking oil. so itwil cost a fiver to fil the chip pan. oil is now past its peak availability, and it can only become more expensive, the russians have staked a flag on the bottom of the arctic. so there will be a race on soon to grab the arctic and turn it into a giant oil refinary, that is if we dont all get nuked in the war for the land.
Global Warming is indeed nowt but a pocket-picking justification for governments worldwide, but as for your cooking oil commentary..the only black dirty smoke that’s spewing, is the stuff coming out of your rear end along with your brains.
In order for a car engine to run in perpetuation through means of cooking oil..that oil has first to be cleaned, filtered, purified, and chemically altered by a number of lengthy and considered processes. It takes weeks and often months, to build a bio-diesel processor and one has to deal with the legalities of tax and waste refuse certification.
My husband runs his own bio-diesel operation. Your notion of us scooting around on a pan of chip-fat is as laughable as it is ill-informed. As those eejits who may have tried that very thing will have found once their car-engines seize up fifty miles into their journeys.
And as a biker..I can tell YOU that for a fact.Sorry but i beg to differ, oneof my best mates runs his tranny van [diesel engine] on cooking oil, and has done so for the last year. i know he does because ive seen it with my own eyes. so your sad attempt at calling me a liar has failed pet. im sure that your hubby does have his own business doing things with oil, but a tranny van will run on flora. as will any diesel engine.
Yeah..SVO will work on older diesel engines but the newer engines i.e. after 2002 are mostly CRD – far more sensitive to fuel change and thus the probability of severe damage.
On the even newer diesel engines..there are things called diesel particulate filters which will NOT operate on straight veg oil.
The only thing that can be used on all of these is well-produced bio diesel.
Furthermore, should methanol, soaps or lye remain present in badly reacted bio diesel..this will also cause serious damage to the more modern engine.
So go ahead..pour in the Flora..and if y’all have a Lucas fuel pump then prepare to take out a bank loan to repair the damage to your engine.
i didnt say i run any vehicle, so i wont be going ahead as you suggest. my mate does run his van on cooking oil, [mixed with diesel] and will continue to do so. i have a duel fuel car. petrol and mpg. its clean and economical as well as being eco friendly. im sure your hubby does wonders with his bio fuels. but what will be done when the third world is starved off because corn and wheat acerage is killed off in favour of oil seed rape ? very bio friendly im sure. but humanity friendly ? not so convinced.
Do I take it you mean LPG? Yes, our friends run their Range Rover on it very successfully. However, my DH doesn’t use straight forward vegetable oil – rather -WASTE vegetable oil which has been used previously in canteens and restaurants. As this oil has already been utilised, DH is providing a necessary service in taking this waste and re-processing it rather than it going to landfill. Shockingly, hundreds of thousands of gallons of the stuff goes to landfill every week.
Y’alls keep talking about an iggy button..I don’t have one and I want it..I want it now. Where is it? Enquiring minds need to know!

Ah..the ol’ Esmeralda motto when confronted with unpleasant tasks..’Never do today what you can possibly put off until next year!’
I heartily recommend it.@waspish wrote:

On the day that Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic has refused to enter a plea to charges of war crimes at the UN tribunal in The Hague, I ask, can there be such a thing as a ‘War Crime’ when – as the saying goes – ALL is fair in love and war?
Karadzic counters that he is immune from prosecution under the terms of a deal made with former US peace envoy Richard Holbrooke..claims laughed at by Holbrooke, but whether truthful or no, can there be such a thing as a fair war? One man’s atrocity is another man’s victory.
Leaving aside the issue of Karadzic, is it preposterous to suggest that waging a war is morally correct but that acts of genocide within that war are repugnant?
What is the object of a war other than to impose and destroy all objections to that imposition?
Why am I wittering on?
Does anyone care?
Help, doctor!a good question. where do we draw the line in this case. is all fair in love and war. well it is if you are unfortunate enough to be on the front line having to kill or be killed. but… how come the polititions and warring army generals never even get close to the actual dirty end of their power and glory ambitions.
strangeley as it seems.
when a man kills ten men he is a murderer, and a butcher. he is castigated and jailed.
when a man [or his soldiers] murder a million peole he is a man who will figure in the history books and be remembered. hitler, poll pot, mugabe etc.
and their ultimate aim is to get their name in the history books. so as long as we acknowlege these megolamaniacs the more they will continue to do these horrors.The day that wars are to be fought in single handed combat, by the political instigators rather than their foot soldiers, they will cease.
..And I agree with every word you say, Waspish.@bon bon wrote:
when I first came back to JC land the boards were entertaining
I got accused of being someone else but that soon stopped when they realised I wasn’t a name changer
I used to log in and enjoy the banter, news and gossip
Now I leave feeling a little bit sickened
I don’t want to know whos shagged who
(well I do but the venom that follows turns my stomach)
I may be boring and sit on the fence (as pebbles says I have the splinters to prove it)
but why should I enter into rows I care nothing about
Even daft threads I have made turn into biatchfests (and I dont mean only the ladies)
Are all message boards like this, because I have never read any others
I know PB loves the fights because it attracts the punters and I understand he has to make money to run the site
I only know one or two of you personally and I am my own person in that I don’t talk privately to any of you
I even feel wary about posting this because I feel anyone who has views opens themselves up to smart alec replies
Well
rant over
have a nice day everyone :)and remember
there are human beings with feelings at the other side of your screen
and those that say the are only words on a screen should realise that we arn’t all as sensible as yourselves.Bon bon, your posts mark you out as a kind, warm and witty lady with a generous spirit, and the one above only goes to prove my assessment. Your take on this place is as accurate as it is timely, given all the recent vitriol and vituperative posting everywhere across the board from STD to Current Affairs, with a stop-off in Gen Gossip along the way.
What I have found fascinating, delightful and horrifying in equal measure, is the transmogrification of grown adults..professional people running homes and families and responsible jobs..into wildly out of control children the minute we log in here and assume our alter-egos. Delightful because of the charming daftness and silliness of much of the banter; horrifying..well that’s obvious..the sheer thoughtless cruelty and spite of the jibes and accusations, a nastiness redolent of a chapter from Lord Of The Flies, if not the whole goddamn book.
I can’t be alone in pondering whether or not to pack this place in for good..certainly at the moment it’s causing me more grief than pleasure. I wonder what it is about JC in particular that engenders so much aggression? It’s a singular idiosyncracy I don’t encounter in other places..maybe it’s in the drinking water.
AnywhichwaytoTblisi..I wish each and every one of you a good day..a good life..and a good conscience.
For you BonBon..I wish all three in spades.You’ve got me banged to rights..fit as a fiddle. In fact I’m off to scale Kilimanjaro in the morning, then a spot of shopping before lunch.
Go Ruby!
