[kj] OT : Live Earth etc ...

[Rob Horan]

To be fair to Mads (I aint no fan believe me) and any other musician,
none of us were thinking carbon footprints until 12 months ago......
Yes that 'Diana and me' shite was unbelievably poor (except for Harry's
bird Chelsy of course!!) - the adulation of Diana drives me f*ckn
loopy.....

Funny feature on the BBC London news this evening ... in view of
Madonna's 
headline appearance at this weekend's Live Earth "gig" at Wembley
Stadium, 
they did a check up on her carbon footprint ... whereas the average
Londoner 
comes in at about 10 (tons of CO2), Madge clocks up 1,000+ ... she has
the 
carbon footprint of approx 14,000 Malawi citizens ... I didn't really
know 
whether to laugh or cry ... at least the early evening finish last
Sunday at 
Lords meant that I managed avoid bumping into the massed hordes leaving
the 
"Concert For Diana" ... what a puke inducing thought ... anyway, we had
a 
right old storm in London early this evening ... not much to rival what
our 
good friends across the pond experience in Tornado alley but exciting
enough 
for us to have a feature on the BBC News website ... 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/6267038.stm ... I kinda saw it
coming 
when I left work at 16:45 BST ... it was impressive enough for me to get
the 
camera out & take a snap ... http://home.clara.net/antoni/darksky.JPG
... I 
managed to jump on the bus before the torrential downpour and hail ...
phew.

Regards, Antoni
