Sounds almost like you’re saying we should listen to experts there Baz. Except on climate change of course.

Nope. I am not saying that...and nor am I believing it myself. Just relaying what I recall of the report.

The child in you couldn't resist a snipe though could it?

You best tell Grendull then. He seems to think it’s 21.

I’ve had a grand total of 3 days engaging with those losers - nice time know you are an active audience though. Fuck all to teach at the minute?

Well having a browse further back there are some teenage-style rants and spats. Funnily enough no lessons to teach at 8.30 at night!

He’s a success dude your a failure. You were giving it the big un you are a higher rate tax later now. When I left JLr a 28 year old analyst was earning £47,000 - you are seriously a joke

average wage of a primary school teacher - £25,777
average wage of a secondary school teacher- £29,593
Average wage of a nurse - £24,588
Average wage of a Police constable - £30,933
Average wage of a fireman - £29360
Average wage of a social worker - £29,167
Average wage of a prison officer - £27,972

Who'd want to work in the public service

Your report says that those with less experience of a particular issue make worse decisions in relation to it. Of course my education in physical sciences must bow to your University of Life diploma in the arena of climate science.

Alexander is too scared to be interviewed by Andrew Neil lol.

This forum seems to have a disproportionately high number of people who are absolutely loaded and planning to retire in their 50s. Why don't you all club together and buy the club and build us a new ground?

If you find yourself on an anonymous medium randomly shouting “I’m good enough” at total strangers while disclosing your full finances as some kind of proof.

Well, maybe the Internet isn’t for you.

For reference Ethiopia managed to plant 250 million trees in 12 hours once.

Why do you need a machine to plant a sapling? 3 men and 3 spades will do it. You seem to be working on the premise that that it’s going to be down to one single object that’s got to do this work solidly on its own over 20 years. You need to add a dose of reality to your thinking.

That's actually hilarious. A dose of reality?

The maths speak for itself. 3 trees per second, for 20 years straight...

Just to add, I'd be saying the same if the Tories or Green Party said 2 billion trees by 2040.

It's physically not possible. If they said 2100, then a small possibility.

There's your dose of reality. If you can't see the promise is completely unachievable, then I really don't know what else to say to you on the matter.

 

[SkyblueBazza]

What are you asking me for? You’re the one who lacks the maturity to understand that Dom had the same maturity to agree with you in 2017 as he does in 2019. This is a lesson you need to learn not me.

All that drinking & shagging while thinking about & discussing politics...
A. Makes for a shit party
B. Makes for political views formed predominantly on emotion & foggy brain

Impossible, that more than 1700 a second, no man could do that!

There. Will. Be. More. Than. One. Tree. Planted. At. A. Time.

Funny Boris Johnson to be replaced with melting ice sculpture after dodging climate change TV debate

It is quite funny...but you actually love it don't you? You might find a little bit of wee escapes when you actually see it on tv

Okay, plant 100 at a time. What's the time scale to plant 100 at a time?

They had him scheduled for last week before the postal votes went out.

 

[SkyblueBazza]

Bringing the total candidates disqualified from making anti-Semitic comments to:

Labour 1
Conservatives 2
Lib Dem’s 1

Also candidates disqualified for making Islamophobic comments:

Conservatives 1

That could be interpretted as the Conservatives are actually more decisive & pro-active in rooting it out

If you have any 100 people to do it.. then the same amount of time it takes 1 man to plant 1 tree.

Or they have twice the problem of everyone else.

Apparently there are 465 beans in a tin of Heinz. if someone is putting in 1 per second that takes them over 7 minutes to fill a tin. How are there so many tins in a supermarket.

That's how ridiculous you sound.

One of my mates has been a teacher most of his life and is retiring next year - oddly worked his arse off and earns far more than that

I know what I'lll do, I'll add another reason for people not to vote for me so they stop thinking about the other reasons not to vote for me.

Dude. People keep posting links showing countries doing it at massive scale. You’ve seriously got the wrong end of the stick on this. Wiki says a professional tree planting team can do 5000+ in a day. Averaging that over 24 hours that’s roughly a tree every 17 seconds. 17x 3 gives you 51 teams of tree planters at your figures. Double it for holidays/weekends/etc and that’s around 100 professional teams of tree planters doing it with ease. That ignoring massive voluntary efforts. It’s popular with business as a bit of PR, my Mum is a tree warden and has a list of people but not enough places to put trees. It needs government intervention to identify sites and direct efforts.

Edit: I’ve had a beer and fucked the maths here. Point stands even if it’s a team of 1000.

Edit edit: or have I? @Ian1779 help!

 

[SkyblueBazza]

I know it’s a much bigger space but Canada plant 250 million a year. So it can be done if you have the land.

Yeah but then some muppet goes & cuts em down...

Yup because the upper pay scale goes over £40k and senior leadership roles can go anywhere up to £90-100k. Mind you it was considerably easier to go up the pay ladder when promotion was automatic

Just been doing some research and 2 crab apple trees coming to the skybluetony back garden before Xmas and a cherry tree going in the front garden in the spring. You don’t need a big garden for either of these.

 

[SkyblueBazza]

Apparently U.K. councils have chopped down 110,000 trees in the last 3 years and often because they simply don’t have a budget to maintain them.

How on earth do you maintain a tree? There are frigging thousands of them huddled together in the New Forest & similar. They just grow if left alone. Anyone that gets too close just needs to be reminded of the risk they are taking by moving closer to the tree!
