    A sort of adjacent story. I work for a major insurance company. We block certain vehicles from insurance. I was tasked with looking at the list and recommending revisions. Ineos Grenadiers were on the blocked list as a new manufacturer. I put them at the top of the review list. They're not blocked now. It would have happened eventually, but I think I put a bit of extra pressure on.

    Good to see we're all doing our bit. For my part, I've force fed a terrapin a plastic bag, kicked a stateless Palestinian child, poured a bottle of motor oil into a Nigerian guy's fish tank and electrocuted the genitals of a Bahraini Shia muslim.
    Is now a bad time to say I work with several oil and gas companies including current major cycling sponsors 😬

    It's all OK though cos I'm also doing loads of hydrogen stuff at the moment......
    Before or after that hydrogen molecule is bonded with carbon 🧐

    I daren't mention my entire career industry involvements.
    I count 4 industries that Greenpeace would disapprove of. Is it okay now that I'm retired?

    Standard boomer behaviour right?

    Destroy the world to pad out the retirement.

    Just giving those who think they are young and enlightened something to moan about.

    That is, after all, life’s true meaning.

    🀣🀣🀣 Your life would be very, very different without all those nasty products.
    Insufficient electricity, reduced national defence, no paper (big deal pre PC), no plastic for PCs.

    Just FYI, I don't care. Chuck as much muck as you like, I won't care.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Oh, I thought you'd been serious for the past few years. Oops.
    I'll treat all your boomer posts as a joke going forward. Thanks for the heads up!

    Convoluted link... I am trying to find out who all the sponsors of the Slovakian National team are.

    Google and my Slovak aren't helping.

    Who knows?

    ... If you know me personally then you'll guess why I need to know... and it maybe to do with my rolling Scots Rrrrrrs πŸ‘πŸ«£
