Long Journey

Good On-Line game

Found this game on-line. It simulates the cost of life, and is very difficult to play well. The best I have managed so far is to set people on the right track. The first few times I played it they all died. Think out of the box about education and that seems to be the way forward.

Howies & DohBoy

Whilst lurking on various blogs, Howies have come up several times as a great casual clothing supplier.

I've seen their stuff out on the "street", and it looks cool. It is also very ecco conscious, and the likes.

However I've not made a purchase because I am too like their icon DohBoy!

Well now help is at hand, or offered......

Howies appear to be launching some kind of small campaign against FAT in bread.

Link.

Maybe I should follow this one, and maybe I will no longer look like DohBoy and can buy some product!

On a serious note, Howies are a grass roots kind of organisation, and are holding a Free weekend for 40 people who wish to learn from their journey.

Places are limited, but if you have a campaign it may well be worth applying for one of those places..

Novel use of all those old estate agent signs that litter our streets

Taken from the BBC website:

A Northern Ireland estate agent has come up with a novel way of recycling the firm's for sale signs.
McAfee Properties are shipping the boards out to a township in the South African city of Port Alfred where they will be used as roofing tiles.

What a good idea! It always strikes me as strange that when we ask how we can re-cycle anything other than the standard paper and bottles the standard response seems to be that it is just too expensive and not worth the effort.

Yet again, some practicable thinking and this chap has found a good use for what amounts to scrap plastic.

My only other thought is how does this stack up with CO2 emissions.
