So to avoid messing up their nice cars, they all buy shitheaps to do the rounds with. Nasty old polluting unsafe old shit heaps. Nice one IOM PO!

bluemonday Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Going sideways a bit, I just heard on MR, a Manx Telecom ad saying they were the first to go green on the IOM. How'd they manage that over the weekend or is it just more MT bullsh*t? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDave Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 How can it be "green" when it's charged from a mains electricity supply generated by a fossil fuel power station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ai_Droid Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 How can it be "green" when it's charged from a mains electricity supply generated by a fossil fuel power station? Because a gas powerstation is about 200% more efficient than a petrol engine and can deal more effectively with emissions than your car. Plus there's greenish power potentially from the energy from waste plant (har). And there's always power from all our wind and solar farms....

How do you know this information? only someone with a degree in home economics would know this... What is your job? Huh not answering me eh.... typical you're so stupid... I've been to Iraq 43 times this year alone and it's a fact that ice cubes will cause Baghdad to flood.... Heh! you might laugh but this is fact - they just won't tell you it is because its not in their interest. PM me your business card fool and I'll PM you mine and you can see my company. It's the best, bestest, super company in the world and proves I am of higher intellect. BTW I'm depressed. Got any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue kipper Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I saw it today in exactly the same position as in the photo! The reg. no has 12V in it so I am assuming this is an attempted amusing reference by the PO to the battery if runs off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
