David Mitchell's Soapbox: climate change doubters - video[^] Clearly, he is also an idiot. :)
============================== Nothing to say.
One of the ones I just watched on TV was to do with climate change and that made me think of you. I am disturbed that you can enter my life when I'm not actually on here.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

So, do you have irrefutable evidence that there is no problem or are you just an arse?
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett
Sorry we can't discuss it here. We can only discuss the idiocy of David Mitchel. :) If you like, open a question in the back room and I will give you a few salient facts.

Normally, but seems to have shown a complete lack of appropriate cynicism when it comes to swallowing whatever the media pumps out.

Whoa there: I thought you were supposed to be intelligent? This is childish and wrong and you know it. If you disagree say so and say why. Besides, how do you know David Mitchell is intelligent? Have you met him? How do you know that he isn't simply spouting someone else's script?

Sorry, you called me an arse if I couldnt back up my position with facts. I invited you to a mature conversation where we could sicuss those facts. You declined, calling me a troll. Oh dear. I see CP is still the bastion of intelligent debate. :(

Umm, what twaddle like: EU bans children from blowing up balloons, or whatever? BTW: From 2008/9-ish all new LP Gas vehicles were equipped with a standard "Euro nozzle" and filling stations were being converted for its use. Adaptors were available - although not shown on your link. The standard covered many aspects of LPG fuel safety and was negotiated between all countries of the UN Economic Commission for Europe, which includes the Russian Federation and the USA.

It is utterly unimportant. Small percentage of vehicles. Adaptors can be obtained. Where's the problem? On the other hand, it is good to see that you are in favour of an unelected body imposing its standards upon the countries of Europe. We'll make a European of you yet. 13 countries came up with only 3 different types? Whoopee, there's hope for Europe yet!
Be dogmatic, not thoughtful. It's easier, and you get bumper stickers.- Anon.

Sorry? The few occasions that I have heard him, he has come up with some quick, witty, evidently unscripted, retorts. So ... ;P (Internet Wit!) I don't watch him - the Mitchell and Webb Look was tedious, and I stopped watching after the second programme.

You miss the point: I know he is reasonably quick witted. However, what neither of us know is if that video was scripted and he was just parroting. There are many nimble comedians; however, they all rely on a basic script that allows for the odd ad-lib: no one can simply stand and ad-lib without some preparation for any length of time.

Sorry, I was being facetious but often I don't realise how it appears to onlookers. I knew Eric wouldn't take it seriously.

According to Bill Connelly, that is exactly what he does - he has even taken bets that tomorrows show will be completely different from todays.

You mean they finally caught up with reality! Holy crap, at least that holds out some hope for the ECB to finally act, even if it is well behind the curve! :)
