death tribble

The Timewalker
 
This is a time traveller who apparantly has it as an inherent ability rather than having a device that lets him do it (i.e. a TARDIS). He can only take himself places and not anyone or anything else. Instead of being jaded or a thrillseeker he seems to help people. However in history books or accounts there is never any mention of him. He also does not let anything anacronistic be left in the past when he travels there. He is also the 'oldest' member of the club having been there at its creation. He also tries to help those who seek the help of the club by travelling backwards and forwards in time to get answers for them or for the club in case of infiltrators/saboteurs/parasites. He only smiles enigmatically when asked about what money he has and what he does with it. The theory among some is that he placed a number of bets and made money from bookmakers that way but never that much all in one shot that would attract undue notice.
Sir Graham views him as a close friend.

He will probably be allowed to retire gracefully, keeping his full pay...
 
I am not sure he should be.  

UK government "lying" about Energy and environmental policies?
 
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08/01/uk_must_abandon_growth_to_cut_co2/
 
I would not be surprised if both sides are lying about some of the facts, but if Greens are arguing that wealth growth is a bad thing that makes environmental improvements impossible, then...
 
a related article said that the Green energy policies of the government have increased energy costs dramatically, NOT Gas markets...
 
 
I believe that Green technologies can make improvements, but someone has to pay for them, and I sure as HELL can't afford to.    I can't even afford to replace my dual pane windows, several of which have deteriorated internally so they look like they are frosted.   i sure can't afford to increase the insulation on the house, install a ground source heat pump and combined Solar Thermal and photovoltaic panels on the roof.  
 
Heck, I can't even afford to put awnings shading the South windows in order to cut the solar heating during the summer.  
 
Blech.

Two women were sitting next to each other in a bar. 
 
After a while, one looks at the other and says, 'I can't help but think, from listening to you, that you're from Ireland.' 
 
The other woman responds proudly, 'Yes, I sure am!' 
 
The first one says, 'So am I! And whereabouts in Ireland are ya from?' 
 
The other woman answers, 'I'm from Dublin, I am.' 
 
The first one responds, 'So, am I!! And what street did you live on in Dublin?' 
 
The other woman says, 'A lovely little area. It was in the west end. I lived on Warbury Street in the old central part of town.' 
 
The first one says, 'Faith, and it's a small world. So did I! So did I! And what school did ya go to?' 
 
The other woman answers, 'well now, I went to Holy Heart of Mary, of course…' 
 
The first one gets really excited and says, 'And so did I! Tell me, what year did you graduate?
 
The other woman answers,'well, now, let's see. I graduated in 1964.' 
 
The first woman exclaims, 'The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same pub tonight! Can you believe it? I graduated from Holy Heart of Mary in 1964 me self!' 
 
About this time, Michael walks into the bar, sits down, and orders a beer. 
 
Brian, the bartender, walks over to Michael shaking his head and mutters, 'It's going to be a long night tonight.' 
 
Michael asks, 'Why do you say that, Brian?' 
 
Brian answers, 'The Murphy twins are drunk again.'

Knock knock.
