Snippet-blogging

Last things your Kittyboo found worth of interest; but got myself exhausted reading all that stuff so don’t expect me to comment. Read for yourself!



What does Britain’s most famous neuroscientist art historian thinks when people are rude at exhibitions? [I commented under the sweet name of minousse].

What do you do when you’re environmentally conscious but love travelling and contribute to the planet’s destruction by flying? (thanks to petitpoussin for this link). Your angry Kittyboo has the answer: offset your carbon emissions! YAY!

Want to live in a better place? Beware, spending loads of pounds to make your house prettier may make you pay even more in council taxes.[N.B: I don’t usually read the Telegraph; that slipped into my page…] Let’s launch the movement ‘let’s make our homes uglier’ to find out if we can get tax rebates! But then we can also join Friends of the Earth so that if you make insulation improvement in your home you can get a tax rebate too! Lost in calculation? Well, I am.
Ooooh, and you can also save cash as you save the planet (unfortunately I am little concerned by this article as I don’t own a car, nor a credit card, even less a house).

One who tries to make us think he is an environmentalist choirboy is Richard Branson, who, after inventing the concept of 'green space flying' (ha.ha. wonder how much he will contribute to the destruction of the Amazonian forest with that...)tells us to avoid domestic flights and uh ....go on his trains!!!! - what that hypocrite does not tell you is that thousands of newspapers are distributed to first class customers on his trains and there is no scheme to recycle paper, nor any other kind of waste produced by the onboard staff(cans, bottles, you name it).

Oh, and a very happy birthday to Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, who just turned 100.

And anyone thinking blog comments get a bit nasty sometimes? Evidently the Guardian’s music critic Dorian Lynskey thinks so in ‘Getting down and dirty in the blogosphere brawl’.

Finally, it took him NINE days but Tony Blair, probably encouraged by the likes of Bollocked-mouth-Prescott and I'm-not-a-Poodle-i'm-a-rottweiler-Brown finally reacted to Saddam’s hanging. Mieux vaut tard que jamais.

And hey, noticed I made a serious effort today and did not ONLY read the Guardian

crap, snippet-blogging, environment i love you, arts, grrr, livin'in'england
