Imagine being a Palaeolithic human. You spend three days tracking a mammoth across frozen tundra. Risk your life with a sharpened stick. Finally bring the thing down. Crack open the skull for the brain fat. Shatter the femurs for marrow. Carve off the fatty cuts and feed the family. And all the while, according to modern dietetics, you are slowly poisoning yourself with the deadliest food known to mankind. But you keep doing it. For 2.5 million years. Generation after generation. Because you are, apparently, thick as mince. Just an absolute imbecile, refusing to forage for the wholegrain oats and chickpeas that the Guardian health section will one day recommend. Strange thing happens though. Your brain triples in size on all that deadly saturated fat. You develop language. You invent tools. You domesticate fire, then animals, then crops you didn't even need. You build cities. Cathedrals. Symphonies. Mathematics. You sail across oceans on hunches. You map the stars. You split the atom. You walk on the moon. All while, we're told, slowly killing yourself with the exact food that powered every single one of those achievements. Two and a half million years of suicide and you still managed to invent the wheel, the printing press, penicillin, and the internal combustion engine. Then a man in a lab coat in 1977 looks at some flawed data, points at a steak, and says: "Actually, lads. You've been doing it wrong this whole time." Evolution is wild.

The world will have to deal with 43 million tons of decommissioned wind turbine blades by Net Zero in 2050. To put that in perspective, it’s the equivalent weight of 215,000 locomotives. These blades are made of high-strength composites designed to survive decades of brutal weather, and they are notoriously difficult to recycle. They were built to last, but they weren't built to disappear. Every turbine standing today will likely be decommissioned and replaced at least once before 2050. Without a cost-effective way to recycle fibre-reinforced polymers, the majority of these massive blades are destined for eternity - buried forever in turbine graveyards. China, Europe, and the US will account for the vast majority of this waste, creating a mountainous industrial heartache that many Net Zero models simply haven't priced in. But 43 million tons of purely composite blade waste every 20 years is a colossal physical reality.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dale Trust member and lifelong Rochdale supporter, John Ridehaugh. During Sunday’s match, we kindly ask all supporters to join us in a minute’s applause in the 8th minute, in recognition of John’s support as Harvey Gilmour’s sponsor and his longstanding dedication to the club 💙⚽️

Kier Starmer was visiting a very small village in the UK, and asked the villagers what the government could do for them. "We have two big needs" said the village spokesman. "First, we Have a health centre, but no doctor." Starmer whipped out his mobile phone, spoke for a while and then said "I've sorted it out, a doctor will arrive here tomorrow. “What is your other need then?" “We have no mobile phone reception at all in our village”. 😬🤣

Right now these revolting people are targeting the Jews. Next it will be the Christians and those of no faith. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

🚨 King Charles just hit President Trump with a hilarious comeback at the State Dinner: “You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French.” Trump laughing, the room cracking up, perfect banter between two leaders who clearly respect each other.

If you're shocked by today's stabbing terror attack on British Jews, you must have been living under a rock for the past few years. Not a single one of the men who drove through North London in 2021 shouting “F*** the Jews, f*** their daughters, f*** their mothers, rape their daughters and free Palestine" were prosecuted. Not one. So why is anyone surprised when British Jews are stabbed in broad daylight a few years later? The message went out loud and clear that anti-semitism was allowed on our streets.

From an ignorant old Civil Engineer - here is a picture of a cobalt mine in the Congo. Every bit is excavated, moved and processed using fossil fueled powered equipment. The hypocrisy of the renewable energy clowns & grifters now praising battery storage - is alarming.

Great few days of golf @GolfManchester Course starting to move through the seasons day by day! Some good golf some distinctly mediocre! All very enjoyable playing with brilliant members @garethclark_16 Chris J, Dave H, Mark C, Jon L! over Saturday Sunday Monday. Season building nicely. 👌😎🏌️‍♂️👏👏

If any of you are wondering why car repairs are so expensive now, one reason is parts cost. As an auto technician, we use to rebuild most everything, (starters, alternators, calipers, wheel cylinders, fuel pumps, etc.) Now we can no longer do that as everything is now replaced and only available as an assembly, not individual parts. Manufacturers do that because it saves them labor time dollars on the assembly line. Examples: Fuel pump $75.00, now fuel pump sender assembly $475.00 and up, Coolant thermostat $15.00. now thermostat and housing assembly $160.00 and more, electric window motor $45.00, now window motor regulator assembly $370.00.Throttle cable $35.00 now throttle body for $500.00 The list goes on and on but you get the picture. Please don't blame your mechanic, as they are not seeing that money increase on parts, and its not their fault.

At the London Marathon 😂😂😂

For $128,000 you can buy a Jetson ONE, take off from your backyard, and never need a pilot's license. Every spec on it is reverse-engineered from a single FAA regulation. Part 103 caps ultralight empty weight at 254 pounds. Jetson built theirs at 189. Part 103 caps level flight at 55 knots. Jetson tops out at 63 mph, exactly that. Part 103 allows one occupant. Jetson built one seat. Stay inside those lines and the FAA does not classify what you are flying as an aircraft. No pilot's license. No medical certificate. No registration. No regulatory oversight of the design. No regulatory oversight of operator competency. That is the entire business model. The $128K buys you exemption from being a pilot. You can see it in the rest of the spec sheet. 13.5 kWh battery for 17 minutes of flight. Open cockpit, helmet required. Daylight only, uncongested areas, away from airports. Every line is a Part 103 rule rendered as hardware. Build it any other way and it stops being an ultralight, which means type certification, which means five years and nine figures before you ship a single unit. Joby has been at it since 2009. Archer since 2018. Combined they have raised over $4 billion building certified eVTOLs. Neither has carried a paying passenger. Jetson started shipping in 2024. Sold out through 2026. Deliveries pushed to 2027. Palmer Luckey took the first production unit. MrBeast flew one down the California coast. The whole point of buying a Jetson is the permission slip that comes with it. Everything else is just hardware.

Genius!

People ask me why I'm so passionate about sheep. Here's why. A sheep wakes up on a hillside nothing else will live on. 32-degree slopes. Acidic soil. Wind off the Atlantic. Rain in quantities most European crops would consider insulting. She walks out, eats grass nobody asked her to grow, and turns it into meat, milk, wool, lanolin, and the maintained landscape beneath her feet. She requires no pesticides. No irrigation. No imported feed. No lab. No patent. She takes the sun, the rain, the soil, and the specific botanical composition of a particular upland, and produces the leanest, most nutritionally complete meat in the British food supply. Every gram of lamb contains complete protein, zinc, iron, B12, selenium, and the conjugated linoleic acid your metabolism actually asked for. She also produces, as a side effect, the landscape the tourists photograph. The wildflowers the campaigners claim to care about. The birdlife the charities fundraise on. The stone walls the poets write about. The curlew, the skylark, the golden plover, the red grouse, the hen harrier. None of it exists without her. And we have spent the last fifty years being told this animal is wrecking the countryside. The audacity. I'll take my chances with the creature that has been shaping these hills for ten thousand years over the pea protein isolate that was patented in 2017.
