[kj] OT : Live Earth etc ...

[pssyche23]

Funny feature on the BBC London news this evening ... in view of Madonna's 
headline appearance at this weekend's Live Earth "gig" at Wembley Stadium, 
they did a check up on her carbon footprint ... whereas the average Londoner 
comes in at about 10 (tons of CO2), Madge clocks up 1,000+ ... she has the 
carbon footprint of approx 14,000 Malawi citizens ... I didn't really know 
whether to laugh or cry ... at least the early evening finish last Sunday at 
Lords meant that I managed avoid bumping into the massed hordes leaving the 
"Concert For Diana" ... what a puke inducing thought ... anyway, we had a 
right old storm in London early this evening ... not much to rival what our 
good friends across the pond experience in Tornado alley but exciting enough 
for us to have a feature on the BBC News website ... 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/6267038.stm ... I kinda saw it coming 
when I left work at 16:45 BST ... it was impressive enough for me to get the 
camera out & take a snap ... http://home.clara.net/antoni/darksky.JPG ... I 
managed to jump on the bus before the torrential downpour and hail ... phew.
