'Seymour said people did want housing intensification but they wanted to see it being consistent and looking sensible, saying it would be "crazy" to have a field of single family homes with a 150 metre tower in the middle.'

@Salty Yes, just waiting for the opt-out form to arrive from my electricity company.
(Although now that I think about it, if it's Ecotricity, maybe they should be the ones opting out of the whole thing.)

Well, I now have my new gaming PC. It is 100% Linux.
Slight problem: the computer shop neglected to tell me the password for the user they created on it for me. However I would not be a very good Linux geek if I did not know how to get around *that* would I?
