*edit - actually, rather ashamedly I only recently learned what the knobs on the radiators do. So now I don't have to have the heating on in my drum room when I'm downstairs.
A little bit less wasteful everyday. :D

Every winter it's the same.
Turn all radiators on full.
When three people die of heat exhaustion turn them off.
When one person dies of hypothermia, turn them back on full.
When the walls crack and the glass in every window shatters, turn them all off again.
When a glacier forms in the corner, turn them all back on full.
And so on...

in our office, which is part of a larger shared building type thing. the radiator knobs are actually broken, so they're permanently on, very very high. And in a small room with mostly glass walls, 6 people and about 10 computers, it's not pleasant at all.

with six patio heaters.
I use only disposable plates, cutlery and clothes.
And I wash in the blood of freshly clubbed baby seals, using manatee fat for soap.
But I only buy recycled toilet paper.

But I move house tomorrow anyway. I hope the new people get a delivery of 10 green bins.

...told me about a big kerfuffle a few years back when it emerged that the council put taxes up to pay for green bins, recycling bins etc, and then one lorry came along every week and threw everything in each bin in together =)

THAT'S what we pay council tax for.
The other year, Leeds city council got caught sending all of their 'recycled' rubbish to a landfill in Malaysia (or somewhere like that).
How fucking shit is that :¬)
