The TVDrive/VCR concept is also buggered too - anything that has to wake up to record anything will be illegal.
Please, please, please can we have a revolution and get rid of any politician that subscribes to the complete lie of CO2 based global warming - the dishonesty is astounding. |

| My wife and I think much the same thing Draco. We think the married allowance should go a little further and allow the tax allowance to be pooled which would benefit couples with one spouse not working. We do not have kids and both work so it would not benefit us btw. If the Chancer was to be hones... |

I don't think the jammer would be of high enough power to effect anything outside a 20' radius - a high powered one could be quite easily detected.

| Exactly - the value of the low quality paper that is the result of shredding is virtually nothing. It can't even be used to make toilet paper. So it isn't worth even the energy required to process it - hence the "green" thing to do is to compost it. |

| Another reason why shredded paper "cannot" be recycled as paper is that by shredding it you shorten the fibres to the point where it cannot make a recycled paper of any decent quality. It is very good however as a composting medium where it absorbs the excess moisture from green matter suc... |
