Having actually played CyM1 24/7 for 3 months, i can tell you that suddenly deep fried Mars bars and haggis dont sound as bad as you make it.

Yap aqua, some valuable reasons. You forgot practising English and visiting the country as well though

Quite entertaining! You picked up one of the best ever released by Cya. If, however, the point was to choose either getting geek or getting a life, Id defs enjoy life out there. Fortunately, you didnt take PCM2010
Wanna read about spoiled tax money, absurdity and green energies ? I'm pissed off but here I go...
I found myself attending a meeting yesterday morning, about building a day nursery. Somebody got in the mayor and town council's minds that they should make it a passive building. Why not after all... Passive means that your energy consumption is very low, and that your green energies production is equal to your fossil energy consumption.
Low consumption was no problem to reach (it only exists on paper so far though). Problem arose when we needed as much green renewable energy as fossil one. Solar panels (thermal ones, not electric ones). Supposedly used for heating and hot water storage. Though, to produce as much energy as we use (on a yearly base), we need like 72 m² of solar panels. More or less 80 k€ (taxes included). And that's like 3 times the energy we need for heating and hot water.
So, as we can't turn solar panels off, what are we gonna do with the exceeding energy ? Easy, we'll send it in the ground. Just fucking great : 80 000 € of tax money to warm moles and worms...
People should demonstrate, really.
Before you ask, heating and hot water is only a part of the global consumption, there's also electricity used in ventilation, lightning, etc. that we have to compensate, thus the extra production of hot water through solar panels.
Hmm, can't you sell your extra solar energy back to the electrical companies? That's how it works in Spain (if it hasn't changed lately), and, weirdly enough, you sell that energy at a bigger price that the one you pay to the companies for your electricity.
What happens when you have such a system in Spain? Yep, some places seemed to produce solar energy...at night.
Yes, you can do that here too. Although they lately divided the rebuy price from about 5x to 3x, which should reduce the enthusiasm on solar panels.
The good thing with them is that, even though you sell their electricity again, they'll be used at the closest point, which is often where it's been produced. That solves a part of the problem of classical production, when only an average of 38 or 39% of what's been produced really reaches the users (the mains are too long, even at very high voltage).
The bad aspect is that nobody knows how to recycle solar panels now.
But in my case it's not electricity we'll produce, it's hot water (there are basically two sorts of use for solar panels, either you heat water, either you produce electricity).
As much as I believe in green energies, making wrong examples is the worst thing we can do. Sending two thirds of the production to the ground is just absurd.
EU countries like France allowed to have production quotas far in excess of what they need while smaller countries aren't allowed to have quotas anywhere near what they need, so that the french can make money selling to the poor.
That kinda thing.

Don't think of making it personal or anything, I find it as disgusting as you seem to do (like the situation in the US that Deadpool described, btw).

The heck are you talking about?
France was the example because it's the most blatant. You yourself have complained of this in the past.

Parts of Scotland are lovely.
Ireland especially.
