The 50+ Club

I cant begin to describe how pissed off I am with TV companies turning the volume up for the adverts. What is the matter with these people? Do they think we will listen to their puerile broadcasts just because it gets louder? It’s like speaking louder to a foreigner who doesn’t understand you.

Get the message - we are not listening.

It’s an insult to have marketing dip-shits trying to ram messages down our throats in such an offensive manner.

Making it louder doesn’t make a shite product any more interesting. I suggest they try recruiting someone with an IQ higher than an amoeba

A recent news item on BBC Breakfast revealed that there is a higher recycling cost for Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) due to the mercury content. But you knew that as we revealed it in March 2007!

Energy efficient lamps get better all the time but you do need to choose carefully so, if in doubt, contact a lighting and/or recycling specialist. Remember, when CFLs do come to the end of their natural life you can’t just throw them in the bin.

Keep watching as improvements in the standard incandescent lamps may yet prove to be a considerable obviating the need for CFL.
