I heard on the news something about the oil under Southeast England but most of it won't be extracted.

Saw a group of kids standing on the street corner. One girl who couldn't have been more than 13 years old was in a bathing suit. They were holding a sign that said "Honk if you think she's hot."

That's a pedo trap if I ever saw one.

In other news, my Internet can't maintain an erection...I mean a connection.

Only around 15% could be extracted.

Sounds like there are a lot of mosquitos in your area. Are there lots of swamps or stagnant water around there?

There's a small stream near my house. There are also a few large reservoirs but they're a few miles away.

Cheesy joke.

Interesting. Maybe the lack of heavy rain means that mosquitos can breed easy there.

Mosquitos aren't really noticeable here, although perhaps the presence of mosquito fish is a big difference.

Now I can understand your opinion on the Green Party better. You didn't want to stay in Australia? Surely there are more jobs in your field there?

The Australian industry collapsed. The carbon tax (which has since been repealed) didn't help, but the demand for coal from China wasn't there, and the price plummeted.
