    I never recognise any so called celebrities these days, so it's obviously not an "age " thing.:whistle:.

      I had to laugh a moment ago some woman asked for a request on a radio show, stating that she really needed to hear her favourite music as she had a busy morning 'emptying the dishwasher ' and was now on her way to the gym!!
      Think this is an age thing too @clanless .:yikes:

        I went to the gym this morning.


        But for physio, its my 5th appointment out of 6.

        To be honest I will be glad when its all over.
        When I wanted some physio on my Knees I thought it would be in a hospital or clinic, turns out they booked me into a gym physio, I feel really out of place going there.

        I mean, I dont have the right clothes for a start.:redface:

          So what is all this Co2 stuff about.
          We now have farmers that are going to cull animals and throw the carcasses away?

          It seems if you cant get carbon dioxide you cant stun the animals before killing them, but you can cull them?
          Also they need the co2 for packaging the meat, have they never heard of butchers shops.

          I really cant understand what goes on these days.

          Next thing they will be telling us is co2 is a greenhouse gas and there is too much of it.:rolleyespink:

                I wonder how much of this nonsense is being done deliberately to be honest. If the fertiliser that gets produced with the by-product being CO2 was still needed, production would be continuing despite the cost of gas rising; that rise in cost would either be carried in the short term by the company, or passed on to the customers one way or another. Surely not very bright to stop production of the two things you sell if you are struggling to pay the bills?

                    Carbon dioxide is used to stun pigs and I believe poultry as well. High levels of carbon dioxide (30%), even in the presence of oxygen, will stop breathing and cause death within a minute.
                    Cattle are still electrically stunned and I don't why the difference.

                        Don't think we need to worry about Christmas Markets this year as they won't have anything to sell as it's all stuck in China and the Government won't allow people into the country to run them, "must train local people".

                            When I take the lid off my brew bucket after starting a batch of wine the co2 really knocks you back if you breathe in as you open it.

                              And kill woodworm in historic furniture without damaging it, but I'm more concerned about fizzy beer and cider.

                                Why does Jeremy Vine insist on regularly having a Communist bint like Ash Sarkar spouting her Far-Left rhetoric on his panel? This crackpot literally subscribes to the most dangerous political ideology of the 20th century! If we're going to have political extremists on morning TV then we should perhaps also have someone from the Far-Right like Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative to provide some sort of hardliner balance... :dunno:
