In my experience, those with misophonia often have the poorest eating habits. My son suffers from it but we managed to curb his own noisy eating tendencies, through shaming incidentally. No issue with using the 1 tool that keeps most of society in order, a learned sense of decency (i.e. shame).

You are describing misophonia perfectly. Whereas the person who describes it as 'drives me up the wall' sounds too mild and more like the rest of us (it irritates just about everyone, but most of us can grumble, focus on something else and move on without the red mist descending).

It's not as if we weren't warned.

What does driving g 10% mean?

Interesting. I make sure I don't invest in any fossil fuel business, but most people I speak to are ok with nuclear energy investment to be part of the ethical portfolios they invest in.

It depends how complete your information is. Everything you say is partially true. But, solar isn't cleaner than nuclear if paired with battery, which you must if you want to compare it with nuclear, which can operate at all times. Solar is my favourite secondary source, but nuclear beats gas/coal.

Certainly it's a great deal cleaner than any fossil fuel energy though. I am assuming you mean clean =zero pollution and negligible pollution doesn't count? Which also rules out just about all industrial scale energy.

I have used that logic before myself but I have come to think it flawed Robin. After a perfect Glasto in '91, figured it couldn't be surpassed. But Glasto didn't have to measure up, just bring joy. What did I miss out on for fear of tainted nostalgia? OK if you have a potentially better plan.

Can't think of anything villainous about Nick Clegg. I'm not a fanboy but people here are clearly very easily led to scapegoat vitriole. He's probably no angel but I can think of a hundred more influential and hate-filled tech protagonists or politicians more worthy of your ire.

But did you get tickets? The site got swamped with bots and they all sold out in 30 seconds it took me to realise the checkout didn't work properly 😭.

Opposers of carbon trading must have an interest in persisting with oil business externalities being completely unaccounted for. But it's an irresponsible short term interest. We need to stop subsidising dirty energy production and if oil investors lose their shirt, so much the better.
