My other planet is Jupiter !  Cheesy
You've only got to fart to score something like that, Andy.

Aah but I store my farts and use them to generate my own electricity Cheesy

Therefore, Andy's is Uranus?

Oh dear I'm 11.61 so I'm the most by far.  I thought so.  Cry
... although if you live with anyone else you should average yours with theirs, shouldn't you? (just as Baron Martle is averaging his with his extensive staff) which probably puts you lower than a lot of people here.

And it's just an estimate. From what little I know on these matters, a true calculation of your carbon footprint is a little more extensive than this one.

Not doing 8-9 as well because I haven't eaten yet.

Helllooooooooooo?

We did it.  Actually it's been rather lovely, chatting away in the candlelight, snuggled up on the sofa under a big blanket. (Pity about the smelly dog joining us... Grin)

Well now, that wasn't so bad was it? To be honest not too much of a hardship for me because I always have candles burning, but I did switch off all things on stand-by. Didn't unplug my BB hub though, lest the Mortmuda Triangle be activated! Grin

It makes me think that it could well be a good idea if we were to do this every week or every day. You could have a system where different areas of a city would have their power cut for certain hours of the day. It wouldn't involve a lot of hardship and it's not exactly going to change anything dramatically but... oh I don't know.

Candles?! Candles?!! Shocked  Doesn't that rather defeat the whole point? Cheesy

I must admit though I found it quite a strain making my own entertainment in the dark for a whole hour.
