Eco whoops

Did you hear about Macca?  Old Macca?  Paul Macca?

He was GIVEN a car by Toyota.  One of these so-called green Lexus things.  And they flew the bloody thing from Japan to give it to him. Here is the story and here is Macca.  He can't be happy about the situation because he's not giving a thumbs up today.

Just look at that face on Steel Magnolia - it looks like a slapped bum in a wig, doesn't it? She clearly doesn't like wasteful air miles.  Either that or she's just seen Heather approaching with a jug of water.

I don't like bashing anyone who is trying to reduce the environmental impact of their life (in fact I have just got the results back from an assessment of our carbon emissions and proposals for our carbon stewardship - I'll tell you about that when I'm feeling boring) but blimey Macca doesn't half get on my pip.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.  I'm fed up with the green agenda being exploited by celebrities who don't know what they are talking about and by companies trying to increase sales.  Most of the ills and issues that the population curently faces are symptoms of excessive and selfish consumption. 

If Macca genuinely cares about the environment, there are much better ways for him to demonstrate it than by accepting a free car.

Slapped bum in a wig, alright. And I've put that one into my compendium of terms of abuse. Nice work.

Also enjoy the gab you've put down over at Puretilth.com. Noble calling that, even for a flower herder.

Caroline:

Good grief, that's a face and a half isn't it?! I'm going to print it to brandish at the next person who calls me surly.

(NB - this isn't a cue for you to do your Airplane jokes Matthew).
