energy saving shite bulbs

I am sick to the back teeth of being told how to live, what I can and can't do, what is 'good' for me etc etc etc.

Soon it will be 'illegal' to use proper light bulbs in the UK.

Instead, we now have to suffer god-awful ugly energy saving bulbs that give out poor light - see here for a quick & dirty comparison;

Why is free will and choice being narrowed down ever further, in this case to support bad science and egotism of the worst kind - 'we are HUMAN, we CAN save the planet !' - jeezus, just go away & stay out of my face. Accept that you'll be dead in 100 years and move on. At some point the sun will explode anyway taking the Earth with it so your petty small minded efforts are all in vain, even if they do make you temporarily feel better.

So now the rosy glow of fairgrounds and illuminations are going to disintegrate into a homogenous mush of fuzzy inconsistency.

Thanks for that.

click, click, click, zzzzz

Once again, The Beatles back catalogue is gracing the atmosphere & Macca can afford another divorce. No complaints there.

However.

What is it with Rock Band, Guitar Hero and their ilk ?

I find them incredibly tedious - it is, after all, just pressing buttons in time to music. And yes, I've tried them more than once (under duress, admittedly) and they're still boring.

Whoever thought that they could make money by essentially getting people to pay to tap their feet (or hand, or nose, or whatever) in time must chuckle to themselves about once every 4 seconds.
