    Trudging around Westonbirt Arboretum today, I came once more to the
    cnclusion that we really are overdue a cull. Based on today's experiences,
    it became clear that the selection criteria should include the following:

    The target group should belong to Her Majesty's Middle Classes
    The target group should be infested with dogs.

    That is all.

    Everyone is middle class these days, can you be a bit more specific.
    Is it the poor middle classes or the very poor middle classes ?

    A cull is never a good idea although a voluntary system as in
    Soylent Green might be useful. Eugenics is what we need, with only
    Mensa men and large-breasted women being allowed to breed, keeping
    the birthrate to a constant rate which would maintain the population
    at about 30 million.

    Maybe he's on about the UK, in which case it's around a 50% reduction.

    I assumed that the UK was the scope of platypus's culling suggestion,
    rather than just middle-class dog owners at Westonbirt on a Sunday
    afternoon.
    I've done my bit by not breeding or stopping at Westonbirt although
    I did once have sex in Blackwater Arboretum.

    On a more curvaceous woman to me they look stunning and I have trouble
    not staring. OTOH I also like slim women with smaller ones. I've come
    to the conclusion that I'm simply not fussy.

    Based entirely on vague woolly and above all selfish ideas of how bad
    traffic is clogging up the roads, how much of our green and pleasant
    land is being built upon, how it's getting harder to do fun and
    exciting stuff (noisy and higher risk) without pissing someone off,
    and all this stuff we hear about environmental damage, I'm inclined to
    agree. Perhaps I'd even say that 30 million was an over-estimate of an
    ideal population.

  9. A sterilising virus would do nicely. Get the planet pop down to 2
    billion and it would be quite sustainable, imo.

    Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
    river cleaned out in a day.

    I know what you mean, but I think it's more down to their visibility.
    I nice nearly-flat-chested girl wearing a tight top will get me going
    much more than a big-titted one, but the big ones are more likely to
    be flaunted.

    Is it worth going now, or should we wait a while for everything to get
    into full colour? Most of the trees around here still seem to be very
    green.

    he's stuck some photos of Westonbirt on his Facebook profile
    http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2473715307 is the link for the UKRM
    group

    Most of the pictures are transitional with summer & autumn colours.

    It's not spectacular, although it was a bit of a mild grey day, and would
    have looked better in sunlight. But yes, there's still a lot of green.

  17. But then who would make our nice consumer durables in third-world
    sweatshops?

    Think of our standard of living man!

    TBF they were mainly in Silk Wood - no dogs allowed in the old arboretum,
    which is very sensible.
