Non - Cost of Living

Saving money with regard to energy is incorporating the use of common sense. Last Winter I still made credit on my account each month. I switched everything off that was on standby. i.e. t.v. and sky box. I unplugged my electric alarm clock during the day whilst at work. I only had the heating on for one hour (bedroom only) in the evenings whilst watching the T.V. in bed. I only used the light on the cooker hob to do all cooking as opposed to having the main kitchen light on. I had a shave every other morning with the light of the moon. I showered every other day (as opposed to every day) in the dark as the pilot light gave off enough light to see what one is doing (keeping the bathroom light off). I kept all the internal doors closed to keep the heat from dispersing around the bungalow. This may seem trivial but it all adds up at the end of the month. I was making around £6 in credit each month during the Winter.

Unfortunately common sense isn't very common with some people.

Just a pity you didn't turn off your computer down in the cellar.

Thanks that's a great help. Not that I read most of it, I slipped into a coma before I got to the end of the second sentence which really helped curb my spending.

I would say that if anybody else had made to exact same word for word comment, you would have agreed with it and as well you know it. However, because it was me you have to go and berate it.

Well, at least you have, more or less, admitted it. So you have some honesty about you.

I bis you a pleasant evening.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for you or something? That's just life in the sh*t lane mate isn't it. If you are going to incessantly troll this site then you will be treated in kind. It's not rocket science.

Just imagine all of the money that could have been saved if one of your favourite hobbies wasn't trolling forums all day on your pc (or having to keep charging your phone) where you have zero interest in the core topics...

Profit £££££

If you need explaining that insulting students as cloth- eared i.e.nothing between their ears then it is you who is the clothe-eared one.
Doesn't excuse you Insulting many parts of society as you do every day.Don't go looking for an easy way out,all one has to do is go over your recent posts and it's all there in black and white.
 
This Forum is basically a f√cking Elitist laughing stock if it cannot accommodate people with a bit of character. Take a look at yourselves.. try a bit of introspection for once.

For F√ck Sake we all support the same team !

Anyone from around the Nation looking in can see this...is not normal...it would not have been so toxic prior to the Internet ..this animosity between fans of the same club.

I'm not sure what the problem is...whether it's the Tory Town thing or just something thats evolved since our elevation into the PL ...I suspect its a hybrid of the two elements...
..or as I say ...what the Internet has bred into the Nations 'Psyche' !
