#3


Oh no. The TV programme 'Diet Doctors' is on again, where they feed some athlete a truck load of, say, cheese, every day for a month to prove that cheese is bad for you, and make a big deal about showing him or her throwing-up or getting the runs, like ... durh! You can prove anything is bad for you like that. What a bunch of idiots. Look I'm hitting myself over the head, really hard, repeatedly, with a big bag of bananas until I fall unconscious ...owch, ow, ow, look everyone how bad for you bananas are -- beware: bananas.

On my commute home from work today I could not help but notice, as with every day, the clouds of carcinogenic soot that is spewed-out by all diesel engined cars. All diesel engined cars should be made to have the exhaust pipe sticking straight-up out of the bonnet so that the driver can not only see how crap their choice of power unit is by the brown clouds it spews-out but also so that they can breathe-in their fair share of the cancer causing agents and awful smell that the people in the car behind usually have to suffer. Thanks for poisoning everyone so that you can save a few pence on fuel, you're so kind. What's worse is that it is just such people who ram their right foot down at every single opportunity just to prove that their 'lovely' new diesel car can go just as fast as your petrol car (and hence proving that they made such a clever clever choice), and when they ram that right foot down ten times more shite comes-out the back. Look: you did not make a clever choice at all, and it only goes anywhere near as fast as an equivalent petrol car because the manufactures have had to bolt a turbo onto it and generally spend millions of pounds on research and development (which puts-up the price of everyones' cars), plus the fact that it does not have to have a cat on it which gives it an extra advantage. In fact evil diesel cars are exempt from almost all environmental controls... do you know why that is? Well I'll tell you why: firstly it's because diesel engines are such crappy technology that it's hard to control their emissions, secondly, at the time the environmental laws were being drawn-up by the government, the vast bulk of diesel engined vehicles were commercial vehicles, and the government could not have been expected to foresee that the number of idiots with diesel powered domestic vehicles would grow exponentially. If you own an evil diesel (and you're not having to use it because you're poor and could not afford anything better) then do the decent thing and take it to the scrap yard....or at least lay-off the right foot a bit, hey? Otherwise welcome back the fog and smog, along with the premature deaths for people with respiratory problems in a few years time. And say good bye to the clean air of the late nighties that society worked so hard to achieve.

Well, to my indirect shame, even my mate Russ has an evil diesel now. Strange because it is the first bad decision I have ever known him to make, he usually make stonkingly good decisions, like with his latest career move (see #2). No one's perfect I guess.

I can only assume that those things never got made a legal requirement, because I was drivig behind quite a new X-type Jag only a few days ago and it was chucking out loads of stuff and he was only tootling along.
