recycling ,con of the decade

[chesters1]

i had an amusing (to me) "chat" with a very pretty

"green" lady in town today

as i was going to the bank to get some cash this lady handed me a paper ,"whats this i enquire" she replied" its the list of recycling points around the area" the devil stirred within me (and other things )

"ah but the hogs back isnt mentioned" i said

"the hogs back is a landfill site" she replied a slight quiver to her voice

" so you hate your prospective great grandchildren then " i say

"err what do you mean "a puzzelled look in her expression," you seem to be denying your great grandchildren work"

"err what do mean " with THAT look in her eyes ,whilst glancing round for prospective saviours if needed

" if we keep dumping stuff in holes then THAT becomes a source of VERY valuable metals when we run out of natural supplies" i say

" yes but we should recycle now " she countered

"ah but if we extend the lifetime of natural resourses by recycling there will be no incentive to make the actuall fabrication of items more efficiant and to cut down on waste" i say

"yes but if we start now in the future we`l be more efficiant" she says

"no we wont ,we will not have any resourses at all"

"how do you work that out" she enquires

" because money is involved , if say we make a ton of copper we waste say 10% in unusable waste ,if we recycle it then each time we make a ton we lose 10% then as time goes past copper turns to waste"

" yes that will happen anyway" she says

"no it wont "i counter" when we run out of natural supplies of copper ore then we can use the loverly supplies in every tip ,it will be so expensive to buy it will be profitable to employ people to recover copper ,the very expense of copper will demand that the waste will be much less than today"

"hum" she said

" so recycling is a bad thing in reality it encourages waste"

"hum" she says

"on the other hand ,there is a way of avoiding landfill altogether" i say

"AH" she says ,eyes britening " hows that"

"well" i say " ship it to africa ,if they can make a living recycling THEIR poor quality rubbish think what they COULD do with ours" i left her to her thoughts.

getting back on the bike she still was handing out leaflets ,

they just wont listen will they

Sorry Chesters, I have just got a mental image of you and your Honda.......hot afternoon....you with heavy coat and tank drivers goggles and brown leather gauntlets.....old grey flannels and trainers.....If you are like that then ANY female is going to look good.

 

Den

 

Do not mention my new hat

[chesters1]

almost correct den but a flourescent yellow coat the last thing i want if i`m dying in the gutter after being knocked of my bike is the drivers excuse "sorry i didnt see him officer"

i also wear a coat at all times of the year ,having seen what happens to peoples bodies coming off just wearing a t shirt and shorts (skin wears away in a very short time the bone takes a little longer) i hopefully will get a couple of bounces in before the coat wears through at a max of 50mph i hopefully should have slid to a stop before the skin has gone

i hate the summer lots of flashy bikes taking up the spaces :mad: how do they get experience of biking if their bikes are in the garage when it snows :confused:

Who said there was anything wrong with scooters? I bought myself a Speedfight 50cc the other week, i'm 32 and i'm loving it.....what a blast!

err are we talking about scooters or scooters

If car bodies were of a material that did not rust, it would go a long way to reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

That's what I think, anyway.

Hoooo Chesters, How are we ever going to re-cycle a diamond like you. :confused:
