ALL GLORIOUS COMRADES TAKE NOTE. ATTN PLEASE WHILE EUROPE PRONOUNCES
Stupid fuckin socialist dipshits!
PUBLIC URGED TO SNOOP ON BLUB SHOPS
THE public has been urged by the govt. to inform trading standards officers about shops that continue to sell traditional light bubs banned by Europe.
From Sept. 1st it will be illegal to make or import coventional pearl or frosted bulbs of any shape or wattage.
All traditional incandescent bulbs of 100watts will also be banned. They will be replaced by energy-saving bulbs.
But it is thought that consumers still prefer the traditional type because of the apparent poor quality of light from the new bulbs.

ON the other hand.
‘Green’ Germans hoard traditional bulbs to beat ban
By David Derbyshire
Last updated at 1:34 AM on 24th August 2009Germans have been stockpiling vast numbers of energy-hungry lightbulbs
Germany’s green credentials have long made it the spiritual home of tree-huggers across the world.
But those who actually live there seem reluctant to embrace the eco-warriors’ latest symbol - the energy-saving lightbulb.
Germans have been stockpiling vast numbers of old-fashioned energy-hungry lightbulbs ahead of next week’s EU ban on many of them.
Sales of conventional incandescent bulbs shot up 34 per cent in the first six months of this year as consumers hoarded the dwindling supplies.
In most other European countries, sales fell over the same period. In Britain, where big retailers introduced a voluntary ban on 100 watt bulbs in January, sales are down by a fifth.
Brussels is banning all pearl or frosted traditional bulbs and clear 100 watt bulbs from September 1 as part of its drive to cut carbon dioxide emissions and tackle climate change.
Stocks are expected to run out in most towns by the end of next month, forcing householders to buy energy-saving compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) or low-energy halogen bulbs.
The figures highlighting Germany’s unwillingness to switch to CFLs have surprised some in a country with such a strong green movement and which brought the world the eco-friendly repairable Birkenstock sandal.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
